Abstract:
1. A method for fitting contact wires to a surface of a photovoltaic cell, the method comprising: feeding the contact wires to a contact wire positioning and placement device, wherein the contact wire positioning and placement device comprises a plurality of nozzles or eyes, wherein at least one contact wire is in each case passed through a respective nozzle or eye, for positioning and placement thereof onto the surface of the photovoltaic cell; positioning and placing the contact wires on the surface of the photovoltaic cell by means of the contact wire positioning and placement device; and attaching the contact wires to the surface of the photovoltaic cell, further comprising: fitting a contact structure to the surface of the photovoltaic cell, wherein the contact wires are at least partially coated with solder material or with electrically conductive adhesive material before being placed on the contact structure, wherein a reservoir configured to hold the solder material or electrically conductive adhesive material is accommodated in the plurality of nozzles or eyes of the contact wire positioning and placement device.
