Recently, Lead Intelligent, a global leader in smart manufacturing solutions for the new energy sector, announced that its self-developed screen printing equipment has successfully won a GW-level order for a BC cell project from a top-tier photovoltaic company. This milestone further validates Lead Intelligent’s technological strength and mass-production capability in BC equipment, earning recognition from a global top customer once again.
The order includes a full production line solution, covering automatic loaders, screen printers, buffer machines, turnover machines, and more. Among them, the core screen printing machine is compatible with 182–210mm half-cut cells, providing critical support for the large-scale mass production of the customer’s BC cell project.
High Capacity, High Intelligence, High Yield to Accelerate BC Cell Mass Production
To meet the stringent requirements of BC cells for printing precision and efficiency, Lead Intelligent has introduced the industry’s latest process design in its new screen printer, delivering three major advantages:
- High Capacity: With a cycle time (CT) of less than 0.7 seconds while maintaining precision, each line achieves a throughput of up to 20,500 half-cells per hour. This significantly enhances production efficiency and meets the high-volume demand of GW-level orders.
- High Intelligence:Featuring a modular design, the equipment integrates automated inspection, AGV logistics, auto-dispensing, cell AOI/PL inspection, and screen anomaly monitoring. It supports multiple controller communication protocols and enables real-time data uploads to MES systems, ensuring full-process traceability and smart management.
- High Yield: Through fully automated closed-loop control, the equipment maintains a breakage rate below 0.03%. Combined with intelligent inspection systems, it minimizes manual intervention, reduces labor costs, and ensures consistently high yields, placing it among the industry leaders.
A project representative commented:“The customized solution from Lead Intelligent not only fully meets our production requirements and process benchmarks but also impressed us with its team’s efficient service response. This collaboration highlights Lead Intelligent’s technological leadership and lays a solid foundation for deeper future cooperation.”
Strategic Deployment in the BC Cell Field with Turnkey Line Solutions
As one of the core directions in PV technology evolution, BC cells have gained strong market momentum thanks to their high efficiency, low degradation, and zero-shading advantages. Lead Intelligent has made early strategic investments in this field, offering customers turnkey line solutions for BC cells and modules. Its equipment and production lines have already achieved multiple successful deliveries, earning high customer recognition.
In particular, Lead Intelligent’s self-developed XBC stringer, with cumulative shipments exceeding 30GW, has won repeat orders from several top-tier clients. The equipment combines breakthrough innovations with production stability, addressing key challenges in traditional processes:
- Anti-Warping: A proprietary ribbon forming process solves the problem of warping after single-sided cell welding.
- Low Energy Consumption: A new welding technology replaces traditional infrared welding, cutting energy use by over 50%.
- High Precision:A unique ribbon pick-and-place design ensures precise positioning, prevents distortion, and avoids short circuits.
The successful delivery of this GW-level screen printing order not only reaffirms Lead Intelligent’s leadership in the PV equipment market but also marks another step in supporting the global energy transition with core equipment solutions.
Looking ahead, Lead Intelligent will continue to focus on next-generation PV technologies, including BC, TOPCon, HJT, and perovskite, driving higher efficiency and lower costs through advanced manufacturing equipment. By doing so, the company aims to accelerate the global shift to green energy and promote sustainable development in the solar industry.
