Method and device for producing a solar panel using a carrier

摘要

The invention relates to the production of solar panels which comprise solar cells connected to one another. In this case, various layers are stacked onto one another, such as a film layer, bonding agent, insulating film, solar cells and a support layer. Combining all these layers to form the final panel is carried out on a carrier which stabilizes and supports the stack while it is conveyed past the various treatment stations. The turning over of the stack can also be carried out in a reliable manner by means of such a carrier without shifts between the various components with respect to one another occurring.

主权项

1. A method for producing a solar panel containing a plurality of solar cells (8), comprising the following steps:
providing a flat carrier (2), suitable for displacement between a series of treatment stations for carrying out the method and comprising a vacuum system for securely holding a layer or a stack of layers on the carrier, providing a rear layer (4) with electric conducting means (20) on the carrier (2), providing an electrically conductive bonding agent (21) on the electric conducting means (20), providing an electrically insulating thermoplastic insulation layer (6) on the rear layer (4), which insulation layer is provided with passages (7) to the electric conducting means (20), providing solar cells (8) on the insulation layer (6) in such a manner that the electric terminals (9) thereof come into contact electrically with the electrically conductive bonding agent (21) on the electric conducting means (20) via the passages (7), providing a light-transmitting thermoplastic layer (10) on the solar cells (8), providing a light-transmitting, rigid support layer (11) on the light-transmitting thermoplastic layer (10), supporting the stack (1) on the support layer (11) thereof, and removing the carrier (2), wherein the rear layer and any further layer provided thereon are securely held to one another and to the carrier by means of the vacuum system and are displaced between the series of treatment stations for carrying out the method.
