Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing fast and low cost electrical contacts to solar modules. It further relates to a corresponding apparatus and to the use of a special adhesive. To shorten processing time and to save energy reducing stress to a solar module during fabrication this invention suggests to establish an electrical contact with the back electrode (5) of the cell (1) using a highly dedicated fast curing conductive adhesive (13) in combination with a specially designed locally active induction heating coil (11) parallel to said electrical contact (7) on the back electrode (5).
