Abstract: The apparatus for laminating a solar module includes a press for pressing and heating the solar module including: a first press part and a second press part between which an evacuable cavity is formed; a bearing surface for the solar module disposed in the cavity; a heater being disposed in the cavity and being movable relative to the bearing surface so that the solar module can be pressed via the heater against the bearing surface. The press includes one or more sealing bodies being disposed in an intermediate space between the heater and the first press part and/or in an intermediate space between the heater and the second press part and being brought into contact with the heater and at least one of the press parts so that the cavity is divided into at least two chambers being separated from one another in an airtight manner.

Abstract: The apparatus for laminating a solar module (2) comprises a press (1) for pressing and heating the respective solar module (2). The press (1) comprises: a first press part (3) and a second press part (4) between which press parts (3, 4) an evacuable cavity (37) is formed; a bearing surface (29) for the respective solar module (2) disposed in the cavity (37), and a heater (15) which is disposed in the cavity (37) and which is movable relative to the bearing surface (29) in such a manner that the respective solar module (2) can be pressed by means of the heater (15) with respect to the bearing surface (29).
