Zusammenfassung:	Methods of cutting ingots for solar cell fabrication, as well ingots and grippers there for, are described. In an example, a method of cutting an ingot includes gripping a portion of the ingot directly with a gripper of a cutting apparatus. The ingot is partially cut to form a plurality of wafer portions projecting from an uncut portion of the ingot. The ingot is further cut to separate the plurality of wafer portions from the uncut portion, to provide a plurality of discrete wafers.
