Claim 12:
13. A method, comprising:
supporting a bottom surface of a photovoltaic (PV) cell on a cell platform of a conveyor system, wherein the conveyor system includes an actuator operably coupled to the cell platform to move the cell platform along a conveyor path from a loading location to an unloading location;
moving the cell platform along the conveyor path from the loading location to a lasing location of a laser scribing station;
laser scribing, at the lasing location, a scribe line on a top surface of the PV cell;
moving the cell platform along the conveyor path from the lasing location to a printing location of an adhesive printing station; and
printing, at the printing location, an adhesive on the top surface of the PV cell, wherein the actuator is a rotary actuator operably coupled to the cell platform to rotate the cell platform about an axis, and wherein the loading location, the lasing location, and the printing location are circumferentially aligned on the conveyor path at a same radius from the axis;
moving the cell platform along the conveyor path from the printing location to the unloading location.
