Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING A SOLAR CELL WITH A SOLDER RIBBON
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/033451
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for providing a solar cell (2) with a solder ribbon (3), the solar cell (2) having at least one bus bar (7), wherein flux (4; 4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4) is applied by means of at least one automatically controlled spray head (5; 6) and the solder ribbon (3) is connected to a bus bar (7) by means of at least one automatically controlled soldering unit, and wherein the flux (4; 4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4) is only applied to those locations of the solder ribbon (3) that are to be connected to the bus bar (7) and/or that the flux (4; 4.1; 4.2; 4.3; 4.4) is only applied to those locations of the bus bars (7) that is to be connected to the solder ribbon (3). The invention further relates to an apparatus for providing a solar cell (2), that has at least one bus bar (7), with a solder ribbon (3) according to such a method.
