Abstract

A solar cell module is provided with: solar cells, each of which has bus bar sections on main surfaces thereof; adhesive layers, which are provided on the bus bar sections, respectively; and a wiring material, which is connected to the bus bar sections by means of the adhesive layers, and which is bent, at regions in contact with the adhesive layers, to the upper side of the bus bar sections, from bent portions toward end portions of the adhesive layers.

Claims (18)

1 . A solar cell module comprising:

solar cells each including a connection electrode on a main surface thereof;

an adhesive layer provided on each connection electrode; and

a wiring material that is connected to each connection electrode by means of the adhesive layer and is bent, at regions in contact with the adhesive layer, to the connection electrode side from bent portions toward end portions of the adhesive layer.

2 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the bent portions are respectively provided in vicinities of end portions of the wiring material.

3 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein

the wiring material is provided so as to be laid between a boundary portion on a light-receiving surface of one solar cell and a boundary portion on a rear surface of another solar cell, and

the bent portions are respectively provided on the end portion sides of the wiring material with respect to the boundary portions.

4 . The solar cell module according to claim 2 , wherein

the wiring material is provided so as to be laid between a boundary portion on a light receiving surface of one solar cell and a boundary portion on a rear surface of another solar cell, and

the bent portions are respectively provided on the end portion sides of the wiring material with respect to the boundary portions.

5 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , wherein the bent portions are respectively provided in vicinities of the boundary portions.

6 . The solar cell module according to claim 4 , wherein the bent portions are respectively provided in vicinities of the boundary portions.

7 . A method for manufacturing a solar cell module comprising:

providing an adhesive layer on a connection electrode provided on a main surface of each of solar cells; and

connecting, when a wiring material is connected to the connection electrode by means of the adhesive layer, the wiring material to the adhesive layer in a state where the wiring material is bent, at regions in contact with the adhesive layer, to the connection electrode side from bent portions toward end portions of the adhesive layer.

8 . The method for manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 7 , wherein the bent wiring material is formed by press working.

9 . The method for manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 7 , wherein the bent wiring material is formed by cutting the wiring material.
