engineering the solar age - Suppliers for Photovoltaics

Proven automation equipment

With more than 1,500 systems installed worldwide, Jonas & Redmann is one of the most experienced firms in automation in the PV sector. Our WHD and WHP systems broke new ground for the industrial production of solar cells. In 2000, Jonas & Redmann was the first company in the world to automate the diffusion and anti-reflective coating steps in the industrial production of solar cells. Since that time we have made a significant contribution toward lowering the per-watt costs of photovoltaic systems by continuing to develop technologies, and through the optimal integration of our equipment into our customers’ production lines. The highly precise Jonas & Redmann systems, that handle wafers and cells very carefully, are designed to meet the highest requirements in terms of breakage rates, throughput and uptime. As a result we are supporting our customers in optimizing the total cost of ownership and in increasing the yield.
