The invention relates to a process for producing electrodes for solar cells, the electrode being configured as an electrically conductive layer on a substrate (1) for solar cells, in which, in a first step, a dispersion comprising electrically conductive particles is transferred from a carrier (7) to the substrate (1) by irradiating the dispersion with a laser (9) and, in a second step, the dispersion transferred to the substrate (1) is dried and/or hardened to form the electrically conductive layer.
