  • Patent number: 10756224
    Abstract: L-shaped positive electrode bus bar 11 and negative electrode bus bar 12 are provided along a vertical side 1b and a horizontal side 1c of the solar battery module 1, positive electrode output terminals 13a and 13b, and negative electrode output terminals 14a and 14b are led out from the long horizontal side 1c, and a positive electrode box 15, a negative electrode box 16, and the like are provided to the long horizontal side 1c. In addition, all solar battery cells 3 of first and second rows R1 and L2 are connected in series by using only one connection bus bar 7. Accordingly, even when the positive electrode box 15, the negative electrode box 16, and the like are provided to the long horizontal side 1c of the solar battery module 1, the number of bus bars is small and the number of connection processes such as soldering is also small.
