Abstract:
A solar cell module is provided with: a plurality of solar cell elements each having a surface; a light diffusion portion provided in an outer peripheral area of the surface; and connection members which connect the plurality of solar cell elements. The outer peripheral area has restricted areas where formation of the light diffusion portion is restricted, in a part thereof, and the restricted areas are provided in positions where the outer peripheral area and the connection members intersect. The solar cell element may have, on the surface, bus bar electrodes which extend along the connection members. The restricted areas may be provided in the vicinity of ends of the bus bar electrodes.

Abstract:
A first finger electrode group including finger electrodes on the first principal surface. A second finger electrode group including finger electrodes on the second principal surface. The second finger electrode group is divided into divided electrode portions, the number of electrodes of the electrode portions decreasing as a distance from a central portion of the second finger electrode group increases towards outside, and a coupling portion is arranged between each adjacent ones of the divided electrode portions and electrically connects at least two of the finger electrodes of the divided electrode portion on inside with at least one of the finger electrodes of the divided electrode portion on outside. The number of finger electrodes of the divided electrode portion closest to the central portion of the second finger electrode group is larger than the number of finger electrodes of the first finger electrode group.
Abstract:
In a method for manufacturing a solar cell, a photoelectric conversion element, which has a surface whose outer periphery is surrounded by a plurality of sides, and a coating having light diffusivity are prepared. The coating is applied to an outer peripheral area of the surface by screen printing in a direction from a lower side, which is one of the sides, toward an upper side, which is one of the sides and which is opposed to the lower side such that an application amount of the coating to be applied along the lower side is smaller than an application amount of the coating to be applied along the upper side.
Abstract:
A total of n light receiving surface finger electrodes are arranged on a light receiving surface. A total of (n−1)×m1/m2+1 second collecting electrodes are arranged on a back surface. On a plane of projection parallel, m2 light receiving surface finger electrodes and ml back surface finger electrodes are included an interval between a first position and a second position. On the plane of projection, the auxiliary wiring is provided at a third position at which only the light receiving surface finger electrode is present. A length of the auxiliary wiring is smaller than a length of the back surface finger electrode.
