SOLAR CELL MODULE
The solar cell module includes a plate, a sheet opposed to the plate, a filler layer provided between the plate and the sheet, and a solar cell disposed inside the filler layer. The filler layer includes a first filler layer and a second filler layer. The first filler layer is provided to come into contact with the sheet. The first filler layer contains, as a main component, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The second filler layer contains, as a main component, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer which is smaller in vinyl acetate content than the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer contained in the first filler layer, or polyethylene.
1 . A solar cell module comprising:
a plate;
a sheet opposed to the plate;
a filler layer provided between the plate and the sheet; and
a solar cell disposed inside the filler layer, wherein
the filler layer is provided to come into contact with the sheet, and includes a first filler layer containing, as a main component, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and a second filler layer containing, as a main component, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer which is smaller in vinyl acetate content than the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer contained in the first filler layer, or polyethylene.
2 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein
the vinyl acetate content in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer contained in the first filler layer is not less than 20% by mass.
3 . The solar cell module according to claim 2 , wherein
the second filler layer is a layer containing, as a main component, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer which is smaller in vinyl acetate content than the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer contained in the first filler layer, and
the vinyl acetate content in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer contained in the first filler layer is not less than 1.5 times as large as the vinyl acetate content in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer contained in the second filler layer.
4 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein
the first filler layer is in contact with the solar cell.
5 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein
the solar cell is disposed between the first filler layer and the second filler layer.
6 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , wherein
the solar cell is disposed inside the second filler layer.
7 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , wherein
the solar cell is disposed inside the first filler layer.
8 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , wherein
the first filler layer is provided to come into contact with both the plate and the sheet.
9 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , wherein
the second filler layer is provided to come into contact with both the plate and the sheet.
10 . The solar cell module according to claim 8 , wherein
the first filler layer is disposed such that the second filler layer is surrounded therewith.
11 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , wherein
the plate is a glass plate and the sheet is a resin sheet.
12 . The solar cell module according to claim 11 , wherein
the solar cell receives light from the plate side.
