BrightSpot Automation

BrightSpot Automation provides specialised manufacturing and measurement tools for the solar photovoltaic industry, from terrestrial panels to space solar cells and arrays. For more than 12 years the US company has supplied non-contact imaging and electrical measurement systems to solar manufacturers, researchers and engineering firms, with hundreds of customers worldwide and an authorised agent, Aster e Technologies, in India.

Products

• Electroluminescence (EL) imaging systems for solar cells and panels, from laboratory systems in dark enclosures to field imaging of installed modules
• Photoluminescence (PL) testing over large areas and multi-mode EL, PL and ultraviolet fluorescence (UVF) systems
• Contact resistivity and electrical measurement tools
• High-throughput non-contact imaging of panel defects and bill-of-material variations
• Customised defect imaging for emerging technologies such as perovskite and tandem cells, with customers including Tandem PV and the University of Colorado

Space PV

For aerospace solar, BrightSpot supports mission-critical performance from cell research and panel manufacturing to final satellite integration, which is why it exhibits at small satellite and space technology shows. Its systems cover the full lifecycle of solar from the lab to the field and decommissioning.

Approach

The company's stated values are integrity, scientific excellence and long-term partnership. It says its testing is meant to give accurate insight into panel performance and durability rather than create unnecessary alarm, and it contributes to research on how and why solar panels degrade.

Events

BrightSpot Automation is listed as an exhibitor at Space Tech Expo Europe 2026, the Small Satellite Conference 2027 and the SPEXA Space Business Expo 2027.
