  • Publication number: 20110272006
    Abstract: A solar cell module and a method for manufacturing a solar cell module are provided. The solar cell module includes an interconnect sheet and a back contact solar cell mounted on the interconnect sheet. Electrodes of the back contact solar cell and interconnects of the interconnect sheet are connected to each other. An electrically insulating cured resin is disposed in a region between interconnects adjacent to each other of the interconnect sheet, the region being located between a semiconductor substrate of the back contact solar cell and an insulating base material of the interconnect sheet.

  • Publication number: 20110197951
    Abstract: A solar battery module includes a wiring substrate having connection wiring on a front surface, a plurality of solar battery cells, a sealant sealing the plurality of solar battery cells mounted on the front surface of the wiring substrate, and a light-transmitting front surface protection material covering the plurality of solar battery cells sealed with the sealant. The plurality of solar battery cells each include a cell substrate and back surface electrodes disposed on a back surface of the cell substrate. The cell substrates are arranged on the front surface of the wiring substrate. The plurality of solar battery cells are mounted on the wiring substrate by electrically connecting the back surface electrodes with the connection wiring. A filler is disposed in at least a portion of a gap between the plurality of solar battery cells.
