Method for continuous photovoltaic cell stringing and photovoltaic cell assembly

A method for continuous photovoltaic cell stringing, the method comprising:

• providing a foil in a provision direction in a continuous manner;
• cutting at least one slit into the foil along the provision direction;
• creating at least one slit opening by folding open the foil at a location of the at least one slit;
• 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;
• 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 from the first surface to a second surface being opposite to the first surface of the foil in a region of the at least one slit opening, thereby closing the at least one slit opening while maintaining the at least one slit;
• attaching the at least one electrically conductive wire to the first surface of the foil;
• forming at least one perforation through the at least one electrically conductive wire and through the foil in a first edge region of the at least one slit, thereby interrupting the at least one electrically conductive wire in the first edge region of the at least one slit;
• arranging at least two photovoltaic cells on the first surface of the foil such that:
• an edge region of a first one of the at least two photovoltaic cells overlaps part of the at least one perforation formed at the first edge region of the at least one slit;
• and
• an edge region of a second one of the at least two photovoltaic cells overlaps a second edge region of the at least one slit;
• and
• attaching the at least two photovoltaic cells to the first surface of the foil.
