摘要： A photoelectric conversion element for detecting the spot size of incident light. The photoelectric conversion element includes a photoelectric conversion substrate having two principal surfaces, and the substrate includes a first sensitivity part and a second sensitivity part that are separated from each other. When a sensitivity area appearing on the principal surface of the first sensitivity part is defined as a first sensitivity area and a sensitivity area appearing on the principal surface of the second sensitivity part is defined as a second sensitivity area, the first sensitivity area receives at least a portion of incident light incident on a light receiving surface, and a pattern is formed such that an increase in an irradiation area of the principal surface irradiated with the incident light reduces the ratio of the first sensitivity area to the second sensitivity area in the irradiation area.

摘要： In the solar cell module, a first solar cell and a second solar cell are stacked together with an electroconductive member interposed therebetween, such that a cleaved surface-side periphery on a light-receiving surface of the first solar cell overlaps a periphery on a back surface of the second solar cell. The first solar cell and the second solar cell each have: photoelectric conversion section including a crystalline silicon substrate; collecting electrode; and back electrode. At a section where the first solar cell and the second solar cell are stacked, the collecting electrode of the first solar cell and the back electrode of the second solar cell are electrically connected to each other by coming into contact with the electroconductive member. An insulating member is provided on a part of the cleaved surface-side periphery on the light-receiving surface of the first solar cell, where the collecting electrode is not provided.

摘要： A solar cell module includes a solar cell string including a plurality of solar cells connected through a wiring member. The solar cell includes a photoelectric conversion section, a light-receiving-surface electrode disposed on a light-receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion section, and a metal film disposed on a back face of the photoelectric conversion section. The metal film has a plurality of openings along the extending direction of the wiring member, in a connection region between the solar cell and the wiring member. The wiring member is connected through an adhesive layer to the metal film and to the photoelectric conversion section exposed from the openings of the metal film or an electrode fixed on the photoelectric conversion section. There is a non-bonding portion between the metal film and the photoelectric conversion section.

摘要： A photoelectric conversion device includes, on one principal surface of a semiconductor substrate, a first conductivity-type region, a second conductivity-type region, and a boundary region which is in contact with each of the first conductivity-type region and the second conductivity-type region to separate these two regions. A first conductivity-type semiconductor layer is disposed over the entire first conductivity-type region and extending over the boundary region. A second conductivity-type semiconductor layer is disposed over the entire second conductivity-type region and extending over the boundary region. An insulating layer is disposed over the entire boundary region. A first electrode is disposed over the entire first conductivity-type region and extending over the boundary region, and a second electrode is disposed over the second conductivity-type region. The second electrode is not disposed over a region where the first conductivity-type semiconductor layer is formed, and thus is separated from the first electrode.

摘要： In a solar cell, a collecting electrode is provided on a transparent electrode of a photoelectric conversion section having the transparent electrode on the outermost surface on one main surface side. The collecting electrode includes a first electroconductive layer and a second electroconductive layer in this order from the photoelectric conversion section side. Preferably, a self-assembled monolayer is formed on a region on the transparent electrode layer, which is not provided with the first electroconductive layer. A method for manufacturing the solar cell includes: forming a first electroconductive layer on a transparent electrode layer; forming a self-assembled monolayer on a region on the transparent electrode layer, which is not provided with the first electroconductive layer; and bringing the first electroconductive layer and a plating solution into contact with each other to form the second electroconductive layer by a plating method, in this order.

摘要： A photoelectric conversion section of a solar cell has a first electrode layer and a collecting electrode that are formed in this order on a first principal surface, and has a second electrode layer that is formed on a second principal surface. The collecting electrode includes a first electroconductive layer, an insulating layer, and a second electroconductive layer in this order on the first electrode layer. The first and second electroconductive layers are electrically connected via an opening section in the insulating layer. At peripheral edge of the first and second principal surfaces, the photoelectric conversion section has an insulating region excluding the first or second electrode layer. On the side of the principal surface having no insulating region, the first or second electrode layer is formed up to the peripheral end of the relevant principal surface.
