Abstract: A photovoltaic thermal collector is provided with: glasses disposed on both a sunlight receiving surface side and an opposite surface side thereto; a hot-water producing portion and a power generating portion. An olefinic rubber sealing member (A) is disposed on at least one surface side of a power generating element of the power generating portion, and an olefinic rubber sheet (B) including carbon black is disposed on an opposite surface side thereto. In addition, a resin pipe as a channel of the hot-water producing portion is made of cross-linked polyethylene or polybutene; the resin pipe is sandwiched in the olefinic rubber sheet (B); and the olefinic rubber sheet (B) is further disposed in a side portion of the resin pipe and in a gap between one resin pipe and another resin pipe.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rubber compound used in a hot-water producing portion for a photovoltaic thermal collector that produces hot water on a back-surface side using heat produced through power generation on a front-surface side of a solar panel. There is provided a rubber compound: by using the rubber compound, it is possible to simultaneously form a power generating portion and a hot-water producing portion in a regular photovoltaic module forming line without cracking of a crystalline silicon cell used in the solar panel and without crushing of a channel of a resin pipe used in the hot-water producing portion.

Abstract: A mount adapter (100, 200) for mounting a display device (D) on a vehicular rearview mirror (R) is configured such that a convex mirror (160, 260) is disposed on the opposite side of the rearview mirror (R) to the driver's seat side when viewed from the driver's seat, with the display device (D) mounted on the driver's seat side of the rearview mirror (R) in such a manner as to cover the rearview mirror (R).

Abstract: The performances and durability of a diaphragm sheet of a solar cell laminator are enhanced, and a favorable lamination work is stably performed over a long period of time. In addition, by stably performing sufficient and uniform lamination over a long period of time, a high-quality module is stably manufactured over a long period of time. A solar cell module is manufactured by using a diaphragm sheet formed of a composition containing an ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM), which is low in creep deformation and high in durability against an organic peroxide and a silane coupling agent.

Abstract: A ribbon terminal connecting apparatus for connecting a ribbon terminal of a photovoltaic device panel to an inspection apparatus terminal automatically when inspecting or measuring a photovoltaic device panel is provided. The ribbon-shaped terminal connecting apparatus includes a stand-up means, a base pressing means, a terminal connecting means and a moving means. The stand-up member of the stand-up means is lowered onto and contacted against the backing material of the photovoltaic device panel. The base portion of the ribbon terminal extended from the backing material is held down by the pressing means for pressing down on the base portion of the ribbon terminal. The moving means moves the stand-up member so that a leading edge of the ribbon terminal extending across the backing material is placed on the stand-up member. The terminal connecting means connects the terminal of the inspection apparatus to the ribbon terminal placed on the stand-up member.
