Laminated module

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for laminating solar cell modules comprising a plurality of solar cells electrically connected in series. The method comprises: providing a first and a second flexible substrate portion suitable for roll-to-roll deposition; providing a plurality of first electronic conductors on said first substrate portion and a plurality of second electrodes on said second substrate portion, wherein said plurality of first and second electrodes are provided as stripes spatially separated such that a plurality of gaps is formed; depositing an electronic conductor on one end of the first and second electrodes and depositing a continuous or discontinuous active layer on said plurality of first electrodes or said plurality of second electrodes, wherein said continuous or discontinuous active layer is an organic active layer; laminating by means of heat and pressure said first and said second substrate portions together in a roll-to-roll process such that the electronic conductors are brought into physical contact with the respective electronic conductor arranged on the opposite substrate, and that the active layer is brought into physical contact with the other one of said plurality first electrodes or said plurality of second electrodes and such that the active layer is brought into electrical contact with said plurality of first electrodes and said plurality of second electrodes. The plurality of first electrodes is arranged off-set relative said plurality of second electrodes such that each of said plurality of gaps between said plurality of second electrodes are partly or fully covered at least in one direction by respective one of said plurality of first electrodes. The present invention also relates to a solar cell module.
