SOLAR CELL MODULE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF SAME
A squeezed sealing material from the drainage notch is prevented so that workability is improved by eliminating a cleaning work. A solar cell module includes a solar cell panel and a flame provided with: a main body; a fitting part disposed on the top of the main body and receiving the peripheral edge portion of the solar cell panel; and a drainage notch formed by cutting out the fitting part from a position near a front member of the solar cell panel to a position below the front member. A sealing material is applied to the fitting part with a spacing which extends more than 10 mm to 30 mm from the edge of the notch, and then the peripheral edge portion of the solar cell panel is inserted into the fitting part to attach the frame to the solar cell panel.
1 . A method for manufacturing a solar cell module, wherein the solar cell module includes:
a solar cell panel; and
a frame having a fitting part receiving a peripheral edge portion of the solar cell panel,
the frame includes a drainage notch formed by cutting out the fitting part from a position near a front member of the solar cell panel to a position below the front member, and
the peripheral edge portion of the solar cell panel is inserted in the fitting part after a sealing material is applied to the fitting part with more than 10 mm to 30 mm spacing from an edge of the notch to attach the frame to the peripheral edge portion of the solar cell panel.
2 . The method for manufacturing the solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the frame includes a main body, and the fitting part is positioned on the top of the main body.
3 . The method for manufacturing the solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the fitting part has a U-shape in cross section.
4 . The method for manufacturing the solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein
the frame includes: a main body; and a U-shaped cross-section fitting part that is positioned on the top of the main body and receives the peripheral edge portion of the solar cell panel,
