Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR BONDING INTERCONNECTOR AND SOLAR CELL ELEMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/071992
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are an apparatus (1) for bonding together an interconnector (I) and a solar cell element (P), and a bonding method using the bonding apparatus. The apparatus is characterized in being configured such that: the apparatus includes a main heating means (3) employing an induction heating system, said main heating means being capable of heating, from below a supporting table (2), a workpiece (W) on the supporting table (2), and a pressing means (4) that presses the workpiece (W) to the supporting table (2) from above the workpiece; and the apparatus pinches the workpiece (W) between the supporting table (2) and the pressing means (4) at the time of heating the interconnector (I) by means of the main heating means (3). The apparatus is also characterized in that the supporting table is configured such that there is no non-permeable material in a region (2a), which is provided between the interconnector and the main heating means, and which has, at the center, a position where at least a solar cell element (P) and the interconnector (I) are bonded together, said region having a width that is equal to or more than a width of a moving track of the main heating means (3) that heats the interconnector.
The present invention provides the apparatus and method for bonding together the interconnector and the solar cell element, said apparatus and method making it possible to manufacture a solar cell panel with excellent operation efficiency at high yield and low cost.
