  • Solar cell module
    Patent number: 6066796
    Abstract: A terminal exposed from an edge of a solar cell module to extract power from a photovoltaic element, and a conductive member of a cable are electrically connected to each other. The solar cell module has at least photovoltaic elements and a cover member that covers the photovoltaic elements. This electrical connecting portion is located in a fixing member that fixes the cable and the solar cell module to each other. The long-term reliability of the terminal extraction portion is improved, and the solar cell module can be installed easily.
