  • Publication number: 20140283900
    Abstract: A solar cell module having a laminated glass structure includes: one glass substrate; a plurality of solar cells provided on one glass substrate; and electrically interconnected; and a leader line provided on the plurality of solar cells for extracting electric power generated by the plurality of solar cells. Furthermore, the solar cell module having the laminated glass structure includes: another glass substrate opposite to one glass substrate with the plurality of solar cells and a portion of the leader line posed therebetween; and a resin sealant sealing the plurality of solar cells and the portion of the leader line between one glass substrate and the other glass substrate. The leader line has the portion set in thickness to at most 30% relative to that of the resin sealant located between the plurality of solar cells and the other glass substrate.

  • Publication number: 20130098447
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a solar battery module according to the present invention includes the steps of forming a solar battery cell (25) on a front-side insulation substrate (22), disposing a sealing member (24) on the front-side insulation substrate (22) on which the solar battery cell (25) is formed, the sealing member (24) having a shape smaller than outer shapes of the front-side insulation substrate (22) and a back-side insulation substrate (23) and having an uneven shape on a side that faces the solar battery cell (25), disposing the back-side insulation substrate (23) on the sealing member (24), sealing the solar battery cell (25) between the front-side insulation substrate (22) and the back-side insulation substrate (23) by applying heat under pressure from above the back-side insulation substrate (23) in vacuum conditions so as to squeeze the uneven portion of the sealing member (24) and bring the sealing member into intimate contact with the solar battery cell (25), and cooling and thereby harde

  • Publication number: 20120312356
    Abstract: A solar cell module of the present invention includes a solar cell panel having a laminated-glass structure in which a solar cell 18a configured to carry out photoelectric conversion of sunlight is interposed between a light receiving surface glass 18b and a rear surface glass 18c. At least one long supporting member 19 is disposed and secured on a surface of the rear surface glass 18c, along a longitudinal direction of the solar cell panel 18.
