With over 20 years of experience, Abloomax designs, manufactures, and ships solar panel production turnkey solutions and individual machines — including laminators, tabbing stringers, EL testers, layup stations, and more — serving production facilities, R&D labs, and universities worldwide.

In early 2026, a major U.S. aerospace company partnered with Abloomax to supply a solar cell stringer for their solar energy program.

The Challenge

As aerospace companies invest in solar energy — from satellite power systems to ground-based renewable infrastructure — they need manufacturing equipment built for iteration, not just throughput.

This U.S. aerospace client needed a solar stringer that could:

• Adapt to evolving cell designs — their engineering team works across multiple solar cell formats and busbar configurations, requiring quick changeovers between projects. Custom tooling — soldering modules, belts, and guide plates — needed to match their specific cell architecture
• Deliver precision over speed — where the priority is accuracy and repeatability across small-batch runs, not high-volume line speed
• Integrate seamlessly into their facility — configured to their power infrastructure and ready to operate on arrival

The Solution

Technical Alignment

Abloomax's engineering team conducted a technical discovery session covering cell types, format requirements, and ribbon specifications. A video conference brought together engineers from both sides to review the machine's capabilities and discuss configuration options for the client's solar program.

Equipment Customization for R&D Flexibility

Rather than shipping a standard production-line configuration, Abloomax tailored the stringer for maximum versatility:

• Multi-format cell support (M6 through G12) — switch between cell sizes without replacing the machine
• 3BB to 22BB busbar range — test different cell architectures on one platform
• 3 sets of custom tooling included — change configurations in minutes, not days
• Custom-configured power system — plug-and-play integration into client's facility

Three sets of custom tooling — each for a different cell specification — were included at no additional cost, so the engineering team can switch between projects without ordering new parts.

Logistics & Delivery

Abloomax offers flexible shipping terms — EXW, FOB, DAP, DDP, and others — to match each client's logistics setup. For this project, Abloomax prepared all export documentation and coordinated directly with the client's logistics team to arrange shipment.

Key Results

• Cell Type Coverage: M6 through G12, including half-cut configurations
• Busbar Flexibility: 3BB to 22BB on one machine
• Custom Tooling: 3 sets included, matching client's cell designs
• Delivery Model: full export documentation + coordination with client logistics

Why Abloomax for R&D and Aerospace Solar Equipment

In-house manufacturing. Abloomax designs and manufactures its own equipment, maintaining direct control over quality, customization, and lead times — no middlemen, no markup chains.

Built for flexibility, not just speed. Production-line suppliers optimize for throughput. Abloomax configures equipment for the way R&D teams actually work — frequent changeovers, multiple cell formats, evolving designs.

Engineering + service team. From initial inquiry through delivery and beyond, clients work with a coordinated team of engineers and dedicated account support — ensuring technical accuracy and responsive communication throughout the project.

U.S.-based, globally capable. Abloomax is a U.S. company with over 20 years of experience in solar equipment manufacturing. For aerospace and defense clients, this means a domestic vendor with direct accountability — combined with access to cost-effective, high-quality manufacturing.
