NOVELTY - Production of solar cells comprises providing silicon-containing vitreous substrates (2), each provided with an electrically conductive material on its side(s); successively transporting a portion of each substrate through an electrolytic solution that is present in an electrolytic bath; and connecting electrically conductive material to act as a cathode during the transport of substrates through electrolytic bath. The substrates are suspended from a conveyor element during transport and extend in transport direction.    USE - Production of solar cells.    ADVANTAGE - Since substrates are transported in a suspended condition, the substrates are vertically oriented; and since the substrates extend in transport direction, the electrolytic bath can be relatively narrow, thus reducing required floor area. Since substrates are conveyed in suspended condition, a major portion of surface area of substrates remains clear and can be optimally electroplated.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Production of solar cells comprises:    (A) providing silicon-containing vitreous substrates (2), each provided with an electrically conductive material on its side(s);    (B) successively transporting a portion of each substrate through an electrolytic solution that is present in an electrolytic bath; and    (C) connecting electrically conductive material to act as a cathode during the transport of substrates through electrolytic bath for electrodepositing material from electrolytic solution onto electrically conductive material during the transport.    The substrates are suspended from a conveyor element during transport and extend in transport direction. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a device (1) for producing solar cells comprising an electrolytic bath (3) for an electrolytic solution, transport unit for transporting successive substrates and contact unit for connecting tracks as cathodes.
