Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for operating a stringer (10), wherein solar cells are connected in series with each other by means of solder ribbon cut-offs, the solder ribbon cut-offs being cut off a continuous solder ribbon strip, the method comprising the steps of monitoring depletion of the momentarily employed continuous solder ribbon strip (13.1) by means of a monitoring unit (16), detecting by means of the monitoring unit (16) when the end (17) of the momentarily employed continuous solder ribbon strip (13.1) approaches, entering a new roll (2) with a new continuous solder ribbon strip (13.2), connecting the end (17) of the momentarily employed continuous solder ribbon strip (13.1) to the new continuous solder ribbon strip (13.2) thereby forming a composed continuous solder ribbon strip with a connection point, moving the composed continuous solder ribbon strip to a cutting station (14), cutting the composed continuous solder ribbon strip into solder ribbon cut-offs in the cutting station (14), and removing the solder ribbon cut-off that comprises the connection point. The invention relates further to a stringer for performing such a method.
