Abstract

A solar cell module includes a glass substrate, a first sealing resin layer, a solar cell connected to a tab wire, a second sealing resin layer, and a protective sheet, which are laminated. The second sealing resin layer is formed from a blend polymer of a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ester-type polyol unit and a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ether-type polyol unit. The blend ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ester-type polyol unit to the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ether-type polyol unit in the blend polymer is 20:80 to 50:50 by mass.

Claims (14)

1 . A solar cell module comprising a module substrate, a first sealing resin layer, a solar cell connected to a tab wire, a second sealing resin layer, and a protective sheet, which are laminated, wherein

the second sealing resin layer is formed from a blend polymer including a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ester-type polyol unit and a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ether-type polyol unit, and a blend ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ester-type polyol unit to the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ether-type polyol unit in the blend polymer is 20:80 to 50:50 by mass.

2 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the first sealing resin layer is formed from a blend polymer including a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ester-type polyol unit and a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ether-type polyol unit, and a blend ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ester-type polyol unit to the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ether-type polyol unit in the blend polymer is 30:70 to 50:50 by mass.

3 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the second sealing resin layer and the protective sheet are integrated in advance so as to be a sealing resin sheet with a protective layer.

4 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the solar cell is provided with a surface electrode on a light receiving surface, and the tab wire is connected to the surface electrode with a conductive adhesive.

5 . A production method of a solar cell module comprising: putting a laminated body obtained by laminating a module substrate, a first sealing resin sheet, a solar cell connected to or temporarily attached on a tab wire, a second sealing resin sheet, and a protective sheet, in a vacuum laminator; and performing vacuum lamination to simultaneously integrate the laminated body, thereby obtaining the solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein

as the second sealing resin sheet, used is a sealing resin sheet which is formed from a blend polymer including a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ester-type polyol unit and a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ether-type polyol unit, and has a blend ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ester-type polyol unit to the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ether-type polyol unit in the blend polymer of 20:80 to 50:50 by mass.

6 . The production method according to claim 5 , wherein as the first sealing resin sheet, used is a sealing resin sheet which is formed from a blend polymer including a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ester-type polyol unit and a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ether-type polyol unit, and has a blend ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ester-type polyol unit to the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ether-type polyol unit in the blend polymer of 30:70 to 50:50 by mass.

7 . The production method according to claim 5 , wherein as the second sealing resin sheet and the protective sheet, used is a sealing resin sheet with a protective layer in which they are integrated in advance.

8 . A sealing resin sheet for a solar cell module, wherein the sealing resin sheet is formed from a blend polymer including a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ester-type polyol unit and a thermoplastic polyurethane resin having an ether-type polyol unit, and a blend ratio of the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ester-type polyol unit to the thermoplastic polyurethane resin having the ether-type polyol unit in the blend polymer is 20:80 to 50:50 by mass.

9 . A sealing resin sheet with a protective layer for a solar cell module, wherein the sealing resin sheet for a solar cell module according to claim 8 is laminated on a protective sheet.

10 . The solar cell module according to claim 2 , wherein the second sealing resin layer and the protective sheet are integrated in advance so as to be a sealing resin sheet with a protective layer.

11 . The solar cell module according to claim 2 , wherein the solar cell is provided with a surface electrode on a light receiving surface, and the tab wire is connected to the surface electrode with a conductive adhesive.

12 . The production method according to claim 6 , wherein as the second sealing resin sheet and the protective sheet, used is a sealing resin sheet with a protective layer in which they are integrated in advance.
