Abstract
The present invention is directed to a device for retaining substrates (S), such as wafers or silicon substrates for the production of photovoltaic elements. The device includes opposing walls () that are interconnected by at least two rod-like carrier elements () that are provided with a retaining means () for retaining the substrates (S) in a vertical position oriented parallel to the walls (). At least one rod-like counter carrier element () is also provided and interconnects the two walls (). The counter carrier element () is positioned in relation to the carrier elements () so that vertical movement of the substrates (S) relative to the walls () is limited and loading or unloading of the substrates (S) is possible at a slant in relation to the vertical direction (V).
