  • Patent number: 9079226
    Abstract: A high-pressure liquid jet cleaner removes particles adhered to the inside of scribe lines formed at consistent intervals in a thin film solar cell panel and prevents the surface of a thin film formed at the surface of the solar cell panel from being damaged or detached. Jet nozzles are arranged at consistent intervals in the longitudinal direction of a nozzle holder, corresponding to positions of the respective scribe lines. The nozzle holder is supported by supports provided at both ends of the nozzle holder to allow the nozzle holder to move in the longitudinal direction. While the solar cell panel is conveyed parallel to the scribe lines, a high-pressure liquid is jetted out in a straight line from the jet nozzles to the respective scribe lines for cleaning, such that the high-pressure liquid jetting direction of each jet nozzle is parallel to that of the other jet nozzles.
