Abstract
An apparatus for refurbishing back sides of solar modules, has, successively in a direction of treatment, a washing device, a drying device, a solar module back side coating device, and a coating treatment device. There is also described a method for refurbishing back sides of solar modules, in which the solar modules are washed, are dried after washing, are coated on their backside in a coating process after drying, and the applied coating is dried and polymerized. The drying device is at least partially configured as a paternoster and/or the drying of the washed solar modules is carried out at least partially in a paternoster in which the lying solar modules are moved up and down while oriented horizontally.
