Abstract
In various embodiments, a method for patterning the surface of a solder-covered photovoltaic cell connector on the light-incidence side of a photovoltaic cell is provided. The method may include heating at least a part of the solder-covered photovoltaic cell connector which is in contact with the surface of the photovoltaic cell; patterning at least a part of the surface of the heated part of the solder-covered photovoltaic cell connector so that a predetermined surface pattern is formed; and cooling the photovoltaic cell connector by means of which the pattern is fixed on the solder-covered surface of the photovoltaic cell connector.
