The invention discloses an electroplating process and electroplating production line of a solar cell sheet solder strip. The electroplating process comprises the following serial steps of: feeding, straightening and flattening, copper strip polishing and softening, electrolyzing for deoiling, copper ion regenerating, high-speed electroplating pretreatment, high-speed electrotinning, neutralizing, cleaning with pure water, tin layer repairing, ultrasonic cleaning, drying, solder strip destressing, fault detection, servo material collection and the like in turn. The electroplating production line is composed of a feeding part, electroplating and pretreatment and post-treatment parts, and a material collection part, which are sequentially connected. According to the invention, a high-performance weldable coating is obtained by adopting a high-grade electrochemical method, thus the defects of a tin hot-dipping process, such as high energy consumption, low yield and the like, are overcome, and efficient production is realized; multiple channels share an identical process, which is environmentally-friendly and energy-saving; the solder strip tin layer produced by adopting the electroplating process has adjustable thickness, very good uniformity and smooth and clean appearance without defects; and by adopting the electroplating process, the defects of tradition hot-dipping tin coating in the appearance and performance are avoided, and the high-quality solder strip can be produced.
