  • Method for manufacturing solar cell module and laminator
    Patent number: 9343603
    Abstract: By increasing a pressure in a chamber flange (10) at a predetermined rate, the number of gas molecules that carry inner thermal energy is increased, which results in a uniform temperature distribution. Thus, non-melting residues of, air bubbles in, and insufficient expansion of the sealing resin (43) are reduced. After removal of the air bubbles (45), a pressure is applied between a substrate (41) and a sealing substrate (44), thereby the substrate (41), a solar cell (42), the sealing resin (43) and the sealing substrate (44) are adhered to each other.
