Abstract: In a positioning method and apparatus capable of preventing a solar battery panel from suffer damage during inspection, the method includes steps of providing a transport platen, a set of positioning device, a first probe row and a second probe row; transporting the solar battery panel to an inspecting region by the transport platen; moving the positioning devices to position the solar battery panel step by step; the first probe row pressing an electrode line on one surface of the solar battery panel; the second probe row pressing an electrode line on the other surface of the solar battery panel, thereby electrically connecting the first probe row and the second probe row. In this way, the solar battery panel can be inspected accurately without suffering damage.
