  • Patent number: 8139373
    Abstract: A terminal box for a solar cell module is composed of, a box body, an inner cover and an outer cover, wherein the box body includes a bottom plate, an outer plate arranged in an upright manner around the bottom plate, and an inner plate arranged also in an upright manner inside the outer plate to enclose a circuit housing area; the inner cover includes a top plate and a side plate extended downward from an outer circumference of the top plate, and is formed into a lid shape and fitted around an outer surface of the inner plate to cover the circuit housing area; and the outer cover is fitted around the outer plate of the box body to thereby cover the inner cover and the box body, wherein the terminal box further includes a fitting member that causes the inner cover to be fitted to the box body to thereby prevent the inner cover from being removed from the circuit housing area.

  • Publication number: 20100132768
    Abstract: A solar cell module is structured by laminating a plurality of layers including a cell arrangement layer, on which a plurality of solar battery cells are arranged. To improve the designing property and productivity, in a blank region, which is a region other than where the solar battery cells of the cell arrangement layer are arranged, a thin plate having a color tone same as that of the solar battery cells is arranged. The thin plate is arranged on the cell arrangement layer at a step same as a step in which the solar battery cells are arranged on the cell arrangement layer.
