METHOD FOR OPERATING A STRINGER AND STRINGER

摘要

The invention relates to a method for operating a stringer  wherein solar cells are connected in series with each other by means of solder ribbon cutoffs. The solder ribbon cut-offs being cut off a continuous solder ribbon strip. The method comprising the steps of monitoring depletion of the momentarily employed continuous solder ribbon strip by means of a monitoring unit  detecting by means of the monitoring unit when the end of the momentarily employed continuous solder ribbon strip approaches  entering a new roll with a new continuous solder ribbon strip  connecting the end of the momentarily employed continuous solder ribbon strip to the new continuous solder ribbon strip  moving the composed continuous solder ribbon strip to a cutting station  cutting the composed continuous solder ribbon strip into solder ribbon cut-offs in the cutting station  and removing the solder ribbon cut-off that comprises the connection point.
