  • Patent number: 9166085
    Abstract: The solar cell module having a preferable edge space that prevents characteristics of a solar cell such as conversion efficiency from being deteriorated without making processes complicated is provided. In a method for manufacturing a solar cell module including a substrate glass, a first layer formed on the substrate glass and a second layer formed on the first layer, the method includes a step of forming a first edge space having a first width by removing the first layer and the second layer by the first width from an end part of the glass substrate and a step of forming a second edge space by removing only the second layer by a second width from the end part of the glass substrate, and the width of the second edge space is larger than the width of the first edge space.

  • Patent number: 9166077
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thin-film solar cell which has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency and is provided with a substrate (1), a backside surface electrode layer (2) formed on the substrate (1), a p-type light-absorbing layer (3) formed on the backside surface electrode layer (2), and an n-type transparent conductive film (5) formed on the p-type light-absorbing layer (3). Voids (6) are formed at the interface of the backside surface electrode layer (2) and the p-type light-absorbing layer (3).
