Abstract

A method for efficiently sealing the back of photovoltaic modules as part of a repair. The photovoltaic modules pass through several process stages one after another, beginning with a selection of repairable photovoltaic modules, their anonymization and cleaning, followed by further process stages. The further process steps include drying, coating, and treating the coating with pulsed infrared radiation. The process is completed with a check of the process and a functional test using a flash test. The process conditions and apparatus configurations in the process stages are described in detail.
