Patent ID: 8753915

Claim:
A method for producing a solar panel containing a plurality of solar cells ( 8 ), comprising the following steps: providing a flat carrier ( 2 ), suitable for displacement between a series of treatment stations for carrying out the method and comprising a vacuum system for securely holding a layer or a stack of layers on the carrier, providing a rear layer ( 4 ) with electric conducting means ( 20 ) on the carrier ( 2 ), providing an electrically conductive bonding agent ( 21 ) on the electric conducting means ( 20 ), providing an electrically insulating thermoplastic insulation layer ( 6 ) on the rear layer ( 4 ), which insulation layer is provided with passages ( 7 ) to the electric conducting means ( 20 ), providing solar cells ( 8 ) on the insulation layer ( 6 ) in such a manner that the electric terminals ( 9 ) thereof come into contact electrically with the electrically conductive bonding agent ( 21 ) on the electric conducting means ( 20 ) via the passages ( 7 ), providing a light-transmitting thermoplastic layer ( 10 ) on the solar cells ( 8 ), providing a light-transmitting, rigid support layer ( 11 ) on the light-transmitting thermoplastic layer ( 10 ), supporting the stack ( 1 ) on the support layer ( 11 ) thereof, and removing the carrier ( 2 ), wherein the rear layer and any further layer provided thereon are securely held to one another and to the carrier by means of the vacuum system and are displaced between the series of treatment stations for carrying out the method.
