Abstract:
The invention to a method of making an interconnector assembly for electrically interconnecting solar cells, wherein the method comprises: feeding a plurality of (preferably elongated) electrical conductors that form an conductor array defining interspaces that are free from conductors; and applying at least one sheet, preferably made of electrically insulating material, to a side of the conductor array, wherein the sheet has at least one contact zone coming into contact with the conductors and intermediate portions overlapping with the interspaces of the conductor array. The invention also refers to an apparatus for fabricating an interconnector assembly for electrically interconnecting solar cells and to a rotatable heating drum.

Claim (Index 20):
Heating drum, preferably for making an interconnector assembly for electrically interconnecting solar cells, particularly for applying at least one sheet to a side of a conductor array, the heating drum having a supporting surface ( 16 ) for receiving a plurality of electrical conductors ( 2 ) that form a conductor array ( 17 ) and/or a sheet ( 6 ,  7 ), wherein the heating drum has a structure of at least one first portion ( 12 ) and at least one second portion ( 13 ), preferably a plurality of first and second portions ( 12 ,  13 ), wherein the first portion(s) and the second portion(s) alternate with each other in a direction parallel to the axis (R) of the drum and wherein the first portion(s) ( 12 ) has/have a higher heat-conducting rate and/or a higher heat-generating rate than the second portion(s) ( 13 ).
