The invention refers to a system (11) for the formation of a matrix (13) of solar cells, having a unit (16) with an input area (17) and an output area (18). Between the input area (17) and the output area (18) the strings (12) are conveyed on the conveying unit (16) in a conveying direction (19). The system (11) further comprising means (31) for placing strings (12) on the input area (17) and rotating means (41, 51, 61) designed to lift a string (12) from the conveying unit (16), rotate that string about axes and lower it onto the same conveying unit (16). The invention refers further to a method using such a system (11).
