Invisible damage
Microcracks form during stringing and lamination but hide beneath the glass until field degradation reveals them.
Physical AI for solar module manufacturing
Every module,
Every module,
peak power.
Panevex is the autonomous operations layer for solar PV module lines. Seven AI agents perceive every cell, predict every defect, and close the control loop across stringing, lamination, binning, and a full module digital twin.

The problem
Gigawatts of solar are shipped with defects no human can see
A modern module line runs faster than any inspection team can follow. Microcracks, cold solder joints, cure faults, and cell mismatch slip through — and each one steals watts for 25 years in the field.
Open-loop machines
Stringers and laminators run fixed recipes. When materials drift, nothing corrects the set-points in real time.
Mismatch losses
Cells binned on flash data alone leave watts on the table when real defect data is ignored.
One perception-to-control loop, not seven point tools
Panevex unifies the whole line under a single autonomy layer. Perception feeds control; control feeds the twin; the twin feeds every agent. The line gets measurably better with every module it builds.
- Perceive — EL, PL, and RGB vision on every cell and string.
- Predict — crack-risk and power impact scored in-line.
- Control — set-points corrected on the machine, in real time.
- Learn — the module twin compounds every run into better policy.
The platform
Seven agents. One factory brain.
Each agent owns a station. Together they run the line as one continuously-learning system.

How it works
From raw wafer to graded module — under one policy
01
Interconnect
Ribbix controls the stringer bond in real time — thermal profile, pressure, dwell, and alignment — for sound, crack-free joints.
02
Inspect
Elumnex reads EL/PL and vision on every cell, segmenting defects and scoring crack-risk before damage propagates.
03
Laminate
Lamira models cure kinetics and closes the loop on temperature, vacuum, and dwell per material lot.
04
Match & simulate
Binova sorts by true power class while Twinvex simulates the module IV to lock in the target grade.
Power-class bins, 445–465 W — watts recovered per module.
Recover watts that flash-only binning throws away
Binova fuses live IV and EL defect data to compose strings that minimize mismatch loss — re-optimizing continuously against your actual cell population and power targets. Every recovered watt is margin that compounds across gigawatts.
- Bin on real defect state, not just flash class
- Compose strings that cancel mismatch
- Re-optimize live as the cell population drifts
Proof
What autonomy looks like on the line
“Panevex caught a lamination cure drift our SPC charts wouldn't have flagged for two shifts. That's a full lot of modules saved.”

“The recovered power alone paid for the deployment. The defect avoidance is what keeps our warranty team calm.”
