METHOD TO INTERCONNECTING STRINGS OF SOLAR CELLS INTO SOLAR CELL MODULES

The objective of the invention is to achieve a simplified interconnection of strings of solar cells in the making of solar cell modules. The solar cells in the strings are interconnected by the tape method. By the tape method are individual solar cells in a string interconnected by a continuous tape which carries tabbing wires. In the further building of the model the strings have to be interconnected. According to the invention is the tape method used to and integrate crossbars in a continuous process in the building of a module of interconnected strings. The form of the crossbars is such that the strings are connected in series when strings are placed side by side when building the module. The tape method enables a substantial reduction of cost of the process of interconnection of individual PV cells.
