Problems solved by technology

[0005] The disadvantage of using a soldering iron to manually assemble the tabs on the solar cell is that the solar cell is subject to local thermal stress for a period of time, which is not exactly defined, which can lead to damage to the solar cell
Also, when the soldering iron is removed, it may pull the tab away from the attachment point, thus not making a proper connection between the attachment point and the tab

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The apparatus 1 shown in top plan view in Fig. 1 is used to manufacture solar panels in a flexible manner. Thus, the device has a lug fixing station 2 in which lugs 4 (pieces) are fitted to solar cells 3 Figure 4 to Figure 7). The device also has a stringing station 5 in which the solar cells 3 , which have been fitted with webs 4 in the web fixing station 2 , are arranged adjacent to each other on a translucent plate 6 and there Appropriately selected tabs 4 of solar cells are connected to each other. In the lamination station 7 the translucent sheet 6 on which the solar cells 3 are interconnected in the stringing station 5 is fitted with at least one coating in order to cover said solar cells. Said panels 6 are fed into a pre-assembly station 22 on which solar cells 3 equipped with tabs 4 will be arranged later in a stringing station 5 . In the pre-assembly station 22 the dimensions of the plate 6 can eg be determined and a release coating applied to the plate. I...

Abstract

A method for connecting a conductive metal strip, or tab, to a solar cell, which solar cell is provided with metal attachment points, in which a tab is placed at a respective attachment point, wherein the connection between the respective attachment point and the tab is realized by a non-contact connecting technique. The invention also relates to an apparatus for manufacturing solar panels, preferably using the method, wherein the apparatus is provided with: a tabbing station in which solar cells are provided with tabs; a stringing station in which the solar cells provided with tabs in the tabbing station are placed next to each other on a transclucent plate and where suitably chosen tabs of the solar cells are interconnected; and a laminating station in which the plate with solar cells coming from the stringing station is provided with at least one layer for covering the solar cells.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of leading a section according to claim 1 . [0002] The invention also relates to methods and apparatus for manufacturing solar panels. Background technique [0003] Solar cells need to be connected to each other in order to form a solar panel. For connecting solar cells, connecting tabs are usually used. A tab is a strip of metal that is attached to an attachment point on the solar cell. [0004] Until now, in the manufacture of solar cells, this connection was usually made using a soldering iron, which was a manual operation. [0005] A disadvantage of using a soldering iron to manually assemble the tabs on the solar cell is that the solar cell is subject to localized thermal stress for a period of time, which is not exactly defined, which may lead to damage to the solar cell. Also, when the soldering iron is removed, it may pull the connection tab away from the attachment point, so a proper connection cannot be...
