Abstract: A solar cell module includes: two solar cells adjacent one another across a space; an elongated light reflector extending over the two solar cells; and a front protector covering front surfaces of the two solar cells and the light reflector. In a plan view of the two solar cells, each of the two solar cells has chamfered corners and a substantially octagonal shape with linear long sides and linear or non-linear short sides, connected alternately. The light reflector, in the plan view, protrudes in the longitudinal direction from an intersection between a first long side facing another long side across the space, among the long sides, and a first short side one end of which is connected to the first long side, among the short sides, to cause light reflected by the uneven structure of the light-reflective film to reach at least one of the two solar cells.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a solar cell module includes: placing a light reflection member across a gap between adjacent two solar cells set on a work table; and attaching the light reflection member to respective ends of the adjacent two solar cells, by thermocompression-bonding respective overlap regions of the light reflection member with the adjacent two solar cells using a compression bonding head that includes: a first thermocompression bonding portion and a second thermocompression bonding portion each having a contact surface that comes into contact with the light reflection member; and a non-thermocompression bonding portion interposed between the first thermocompression bonding portion and the second thermocompression bonding portion and not thermocompression-bonding the light reflection member.

Abstract: A solar cell module includes: a plurality of solar cells; a front surface encapsulant member which is disposed on a front surface side of the plurality of solar cells and includes a first polyolefin-based material; a back surface encapsulant member which is disposed on a back surface side of the plurality of solar cells and includes a second polyolefin-based material; an intermediate member which is disposed between the front surface encapsulant member and the back surface encapsulant member and includes a polymer material having either one of a higher polarity and a higher water absorbability than the first polyolefin-based material and the second polyolefin-based material; and a front surface protective member and a back surface protective member disposed to place the plurality of solar cells, the front surface encapsulant member, and the back surface encapsulant member between the front surface protective member and the back surface protective member.

Abstract: A solar cell module includes a first solar cell, a second solar cell disposed with a gap from the first solar cell, and a light reflection sheet bridging between the first solar cell and the second solar cell across the gap. The light reflection sheet is at least partially bent between the first and second solar cells.
