Abstract

The present invention provides a laminating method and a laminating apparatus for a manufacture of photovoltaic modules capable of preventing or suppressing an occurrence of warp or cracks in a multilayer material to be processed and capable of improving the productivity, by minimizing a temperature difference between an upper surface and a lower surface of the multilayer material. In a method of laminating photovoltaic modules configured by a surfacing member 1, a filler 2, photovoltaic modules 3, another filler 5 and a backing member 6, the surfacing member 1 and the backing member 6 are heated from the outside to melt the fillers 2 and 5, for lamination.
