ASSEMBLY LINE FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC DEVICES

摘要

The present application provides a method for the production of photovoltaic devices, preferably tandem solar cells. The method comprises the steps of: Providing at least one substrate comprising a front contact; and depositing at least a first semiconductor stack onto the substrate to produce a photo-voltaic device; and comprises at least two of the steps of: applying a back contact to the photovoltaic device; contacting of the photovoltaic device; removal of unnecessary material from the edge regions of the photovoltaic device; encapsulation; cross-contacting; and/or framing of the photovoltaic device, wherein the substrate is continuously or semi-continuously moved from one step of the method to the next step of the method. The present application furthermore provides a system to carry out the method of the invention.
