Abstract: The present invention relates to a thin-film solar battery module manufacturing method and a thin-film solar battery module that are capable of securing dielectric breakdown voltage characteristics of high reliability. An important aspect of the invention relates to forming isolation trenches along peripheral regions of a transparent substrate and thereafter selectively removing electrode and semi-conductor layers to arrive at the thin film solar battery module.

Abstract: A frameless solar cell panel includes: a stacked body (10) that has an end portion (10a) and in which a first substrate (2), a power generating section (3), a sealing layer (4), and a back sheet (5) or a second substrate (6) are sequentially stacked; and a silicone sealant member (11) that is disposed in the end portion (10a) of the stacked body (10).

Abstract: A solar cell module includes: a plurality of photovoltaic cells including a layered body in which a first electrode layer, a power generation layer, and a second electrode layer are layered in series, the photovoltaic cells being electrically connected with each other in series; a scribe line separating the photovoltaic cells that are adjacent to each other in the photovoltaic cells; a scribe hole that is formed so as to penetrate through the power generation layer and the second electrode layer; and a bypass pathway that is formed of a shunt region, the shunt region being generated at a periphery of the scribe hole.
