**Quick answer:** A 5 MW semi-automatic solar panel production line is the entry point for a new module factory. It takes finished cells and turns them into sealed, framed modules through stringing, layup, lamination, framing and testing, with operators loading and unloading at most stations. This line handles 166 mm, 182 mm and 210 mm cell formats and produces modules from 100 W up to 720 W, so the same equipment covers residential and utility formats. The main stringer occupies roughly 5,800 mm of floor length. Semi-automatic means the yield-critical stations are still machine-controlled while handling stays manual, which keeps capital cost low and makes the line practical for a single shift. It can be duplicated later into a 10 MW or 20 MW configuration as orders grow.
