Abstract:
1. A production method for a solar battery module, comprising: utilizing a production apparatus including a positioning belt and a heating belt located adjacent each other in a transferable manner and a press belt extending over the positioning belt and the heating belt in opposed relation to the positioning belt and the heating belt such that the press belt overlaps at least a portion of the positioning belt, the positioning belt having a vacuum suction hole, and the heating belt having no suction hole, and adapted to control the heating belt and the press belt at predetermined temperatures; positioning a plurality of solar battery cells and interconnectors required for connection of the solar battery cells on an upstream portion of the positioning belt and transporting the solar battery cells and the interconnectors to a downstream portion of the positioning belt while holding the solar battery cells and the interconnectors in a properly positioned state by the action of the vacuum suction hole; transferring the solar battery cells and the interconnectors transported to the downstream portion of the positioning belt onto the heating belt while holding the solar battery cells and the interconnectors between the positioning belt and the press belt; and holding the solar battery cells and the interconnectors transferred onto the heating belt between the heating belt and the press belt and soldering the interconnectors to the solar battery cells while moving the solar battery cells and the interconnectors along the heating belt.
