Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a solar cell includes: providing an electrode layer containing thermosetting resin on at least one of a first main surface and a second main surface, located opposite to the first main surface, of a photoelectric conversion unit; heating the electrode layer by irradiation of infrared light; and producing an air stream around the photoelectric conversion unit during irradiation of infrared light. The irradiation of infrared light may include irradiation of first infrared light from a first emitter facing the first main surface; and irradiation of second infrared light from a second emitter facing the second main surface.
Abstract:
A solar cell module manufacturing method is provided. This method includes: preparing a solar cell element that has a surface whose outer periphery is surrounded by a plurality of sides, an encapsulant that seals the solar cell elements, and a coating that has light diffusivity; applying the coating in an outer peripheral area of the surface via a printing plate that has a pattern corresponding to the outer peripheral area and in which a protection member is provided at a position that corresponds to a corner portion located between two sides of the plurality of sides, the two sides extending in directions that intersect with each other; and sealing, with the encapsulant, the solar cell element on which the coating is printed.
Abstract:
A first electrode disposed on a first surface of the solar cell. A second electrode disposed on a second surface of the solar cell. A connection member electrically couples the first electrode with an electrode of a solar cell connectable to the solar cell. The first electrode includes multiple fine line-shaped electrodes and a first connection electrode configured to connect electrically with the multiple fine line-shaped electrodes. A width of the first connection electrode is smaller than that of the connection member, and the second electrode comprises an electricity collecting electrode and a second connection electrode configured to connect electrically with the electricity collecting electrode. A width of the second connection electrode is the same as or larger than a region width of the first connection electrode.
