Patent number: 9006559Abstract: A solar cell module comprises a plurality of solar cell elements including a front surface electrode and a wiring member electrically interconnecting the solar cell elements. The front surface electrode includes a bus bar electrode and finger electrodes, the finger electrodes including a plurality of first finger electrodes and connected to the bus bar electrode, and a plurality of second finger electrodes not connected to the bus bar electrode. The front surface electrode further includes a fine wire electrode that is disposed in a region extending from the bus bar electrode in a longitudinal direction of the bus bar electrode and that is electrically connected to the second finger electrodes, the fine wire electrode including first and second fine wire electrodes intersecting to each other. The wiring member is connected to an intersection of the first and second fine wire electrodes and to the bus bar electrode.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Naoya Kobamoto, Yuta Shinike, Takafumi Miyake, Masayasu Yoshioka

Patent number: 8703520Abstract: Disclosed are: a printing plate having improved productivity; and a method for manufacturing a solar cell element, which uses the printing plate. A printing plate according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a metal plate; a buffer layer that is arranged on one main surface of the metal plate; and a slit that penetrates through the metal plate and the buffer layer. The slit has a first penetrating part that is located in the metal plate, a second penetrating part that is located in the buffer layer, and a bridge that is arranged inside and across the first penetrating part. When viewed in plan from the above-mentioned main surface side, the buffer layer-side opening edge of the first penetrating part is inside the metal plate-side opening edge of the second penetrating part.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Yuta Shinike, Tomonari Sakamoto
