Apparatus for manufacturing solar cell matrices and method for operating such apparatus

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for manufacturing solar cell matrices that comprises several stringers (2) for forming strings from solar cells, a lay-up and interconnection station (5) for arranging and interconnecting the strings to form a solar cell matrix, and a transportation system (3) for transferring the strings from the stringers (2) to the lay-up and interconnection station (5), wherein the stringers (2) are arranged perpendicular to the direction of flow of the transportation system (3) or in an acute angle to an axis perpendicular to the direction of flow of the transportation system (3). The invention further relates to a method for operating such an apparatus (1), wherein the several stringers (2) are controlled such that collision between different strings is avoided in the transportation system (3).
