[0048] As Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model discloses a back contact battery string, it includes a plurality of battery piece 1, welding rod 2 and skin film 3. Welding rod 2 and the main grid area of two adjacent battery piece 1 are in conformity. Skin film 3 is set below welding rod 2, is used for fixing welding rod 2 on battery piece 1. Skin film 3 includes the closed area 31 and the open hole area 32 of alternate interval distribution.

[0060] The substrate platform 6 comprises several substrate blocks, which are arranged on the conveying mechanism and located on the inner side of the conveying belt. Each substrate platform 6 is provided with several suction holes 63.
[0061] Specifically, the substrate arranged by the upper conveying belt 51 is the first substrate 61, and the substrate arranged by the lower conveying belt 52 is the second substrate 62.

[0064] The manufacturing method of the above string welding device comprises the following steps:
[0065] S1, placing the skin film 3 and preheating: placing the segmented skin film 3 on the conveying belt 5, and adsorbing and preheating the skin film 3 on the conveying belt through the substrate platform 6, wherein the preheating temperature is 80-100℃. Preheating the skin film 3 first can make the surface of the skin film 3 have certain adhesion, so that the photovoltaic solder will not run on the skin film 3 after laying, and the skin film 3 will not deform after further shrinking after preheating.

If the cell back of the back contact solar cell is downwardly welded, the cell piece 1 is laid first, and then the photovoltaic welding rod 2 is laid, at this time, the photovoltaic welding rod 2 needs to be pressed by a pressing block to prevent running, and a pressing block also needs to be introduced.
