Abstract: The invention relates to a solar panel comprising: ⋅ a transparent plate. ⋅ back-contacted solar cells adhered to the transparent plate. ⋅ a back-contact foil (302) electrically and mechanically connected to the solar cells, the back-contact foil equipped with a metallisation pattern facing the solar cells, ⋅ a laminate attached to the back-contact foil. characterized in that ⋅ the back-contact foil shows one or more flaps (304), the end of the flaps more removed from the transparent plate than from the laminate. The back-contact foil is embedded in encapsulant. By adding flaps to the back-contact foil, it is possible to have the end of the flaps extending out of the encapsulant. This enables, for example, the use of connectors for making electric contact to the end of the flaps.

Abstract: A solar battery module capable of suppressing a large load from being applied on a cut end section of a solar battery cell. This solar battery module has a curved surface shape and comprises flat solar battery cells arranged using a singling method. Each of the solar battery cells is a half-cut cell obtained by cutting a predetermined-sized substrate into two pieces, has a cut end section and a non-cut end section as two end sections facing each other in the arrangement direction of the solar battery cells, and has, as two main surfaces, a convex-side main surface on the convex side of a curved surface of the solar battery module and a concave-side main surface on the concave side of the curved surface of the solar battery module. The solar battery cells adjacent to each other overlap.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solar module with improved bonding. The solar module (100) comprises a front encapsulant layer (104), solar cells (106), a middle encapsulant layer (108), a back contact foil (210b) with a patterned copper pattern (210b) thereon, and a back encapsulant layer (112). Inventors found that, when producing such a solar module, the bonding between the middle encapsulant layer and the copper side of the back contact foil was insufficient. A solution is found in providing cut-outs in the back contact foil through which the back encapsulant layer can bond to the middle encapsulant layer and/or the solar cells.
