TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - POLYMERS - Preferred Method: In manufacturing the solar panel provided with the set of solar cells, the carrier table comprises a moving table suitable for moving the stack of foils in different stages of the method between stations for carrying out steps of the method. The application of the first foil on top of the interconnect foil and the module comprises the steps of: attaching the first foil to a vacuum carrier provided with means for local application of vacuum; providing through-holes in the first foil at predefined locations, the vacuum being applied outside of the predefined locations; positioning the vacuum carrier and the carrier table to each other, so that the locations of the through-holes are aligned with the contact pads of the subset on the interconnect foil; transferring the first foil to the carrier table by removing the vacuum; and removing the vacuum carrier from the carrier table. The carrier of the module is optically opaque or reflective and the lamination step comprises a first illumination treatment in which the stack of panel is irradiated through the cover, such that the carrier protects the underlying filling material from spreading. The filling material is applied as a layer or foil extending on at least substantially the complete first foil, and where the integration of the module comprises the step of heating at least a first portion of the filling material, so that the module sinks into the layer of filling material. The filling material is applied on the carrier of the module. The filling material is an anisotropically conductive glue. The filling material is applied as a layer or foil extending on at least substantially the complete interconnect foil, and where the carrier of the module is provided, at a second side opposite to the first side, with a coating material structurally similar to the filling material. The carrier table comprises a body in which the recess is defined and which constitutes part of the solar panel after the manufacture. The carrier table is removed from the solar panel after completion of the lamination step and comprises means for setting size of the recess. The orientation of the solar panel is reversed after at least part of the lamination step, and the carrier table is removed after completion of the lamination step, therewith exposing the encapsulation of the module, after which removal a further protective layer is applied to the encapsulation for defining a carrier for the solar panel. The module further comprises terminals for external access to and from the solar panel, which terminal is exposed after completion of the laminating step. Alternatively, manufacturing the solar panel provided with the set of solar cells comprises: providing a carrier table for assembly of the solar panel, with lateral dimensions at least the same as dimensions of the solar panel; applying an interconnect foil provided with a pattern of electrical conductors and a set of contact pads on the carrier table; applying a first foil of thermoplast material, which first foil is provided with a set of through-holes at locations corresponding to those of at least a subset of the contact pads; providing electrically conductive material to be present within the through-holes of the thermoplast material; assembling the set of solar cells, each provided with contact pads, and applying a second foil of thermoplast material and a cover plate on it; laminating the stack of foils and solar cells to form the solar panel, where the thermoplast material of the first and second foil spread out to encapsulate the solar cells and where the electrically conductive material forms electrical connections between the contact pads of the solar cells and the interconnect foil, where application of the first foil on top of the interconnect foil comprises the steps of: attaching the first foil to a vacuum carrier provided with means for application of vacuum; providing through-holes in the first foil at predefine locations; positioning the vacuum carrier and the carrier table t each other, so that the locations of the through-holes are aligned with the contact pads of the subset on the interconnect foil; transferring the first foil to the carrier table by removing the vacuum; and removing the vacuum carrier from the carrier table. The vacuum is applied locally and outside the predefined locations for provision of the through-holes. The through-holes are provided with tools defined in the vacuum carrier. The tool is a punching tool, a cutting tool, a light source or a disposer of a chemical agent. Preferred Apparatus: In the apparatus, the carrier table further comprises vacuum means for providing a vacuum locally in and at a first surface of the carrier table, so as to hold any foils during manufacturing of the solar panel.
