Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may provide a system for the production of photovoltaic modules that comprises at least a first work line having a plurality of positioning stations in which a series of first processing operations are performed and a second work line consisting of at least a positioning station in which at least a second processing operation is performed. The process sequence may include, for example, printing a layer material used to form one or more electric contacts on a base layer, and then positioning photovoltaic cells and various layers of insulating material in a desired orientation over the base layer to form a photovoltaic module.
