  • Patent number: 8883545
    Abstract: The invention relates to the production of solar panels which comprise solar cells connected to one another. In this case, various layers are stacked onto one another, such as a film layer, bonding agent, insulating film, solar cells and a support layer. Combining all these layers to form the final panel is carried out on a carrier which stabilizes and supports the stack while it is conveyed past the various treatment stations. The turning over of the stack can also be carried out in a reliable manner by means of such a carrier without shifts between the various components with respect to one another occurring.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110297208
    Abstract: A method for the production of a solar panel with plural solar cells, includes steps of: providing a package, respectively including a backing foil with a pattern of electrically conductive wires and provided with a thermally activated adhesive, a lower layer of fusible foil, such as ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), applied to the side of the layer of the backing foil to which the adhesive is applied, an array of solar cells, the contacts of which are connected to or can be connected to the electrically conductive wires on the backing foil, an upper layer of fusible foil, such as EVA, provided upon the array of solar cells, and a translucent panel, placing the package in an auxiliary heating station, heating the package in the auxiliary heating station so that the package is fixated, the subsequent transfer of the fixated package to a primary heating station.

  • Publication number: 20100319503
    Abstract: A device for the perforation of a ductile and/or tacky sheet material includes a frame, pressing tool, a stamp provided with at least one hole, as well as a drive element suspended in the frame for causing the pressing tool and the stamp to move toward each other and away from each other respectively. The pressing tool is provided with an end face and the stamp with a die-edge surrounding the die-hole, which can be caused to act cooperatively with the end face of the pressing tool. The lateral dimensions of the end face are greater than the lateral dimensions of the die-edge, whilst the end face comes into contact with the die-edge essentially around the entire periphery thereof, or the end face and the die-edge enclose a gap with a fixed lateral dimension essentially around the entire periphery thereof.
