Abstract
Example embodiments relate to methods for continuous photovoltaic cell stringing and photovoltaic cell assemblies. An example method includes providing a foil in a provision direction in a continuous manner. The method also includes cutting at least one slit into the foil along the provision direction. Additionally, the method includes creating at least one slit opening by folding open the foil at a location of the at least one slit. Further, the method includes providing at least one electrically conductive wire near a first surface of the foil along the provision direction aligned with the at least one slit opening in a continuous manner. Yet further, the method includes folding back the foil at the at least one slit opening after the electrically conductive wire provision such that the at least one electrically conductive wire changes its position.
