Abstract

A solar cell module is provided with a solar cell, a first protection member, a second protection member, and a sealing material. The first protection member is disposed at a first side of the solar cell. The second protection member is made of a resin sheet that is disposed at a second side of the solar cell. A sealing material is disposed between the first protection member and the second protection member. The sealing material seals the solar cell. The solar cell includes a photoelectric conversion body ( 10 a ) and an electrode. The electrode is disposed above the photoelectric conversion body ( 10 a ). The electrode contains a conductive material and a polyether-based urethane resin.

Claims (20)

1 . A solar cell module comprising:

a solar cell;

a first protection member disposed at a first side of the solar cell; and

a second protection member disposed at a second side of the solar cell and made of a resin sheet; and

a sealing material disposed between the first protection member and the second protection member, and sealing the solar cell, wherein

the solar cell includes:

a photoelectric conversion body; and

an electrode disposed on the photoelectric conversion body, and containing a conductive material and a polyether-based urethane resin.

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

the polyether-based urethane resin contains an urethane resin formed by an addition reaction of a compound including an isocyanate group and polyether polyol.

3 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , further comprising a transparent conductive oxide layer disposed between the photoelectric conversion body and the electrode.

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

the electrode is provided in such a planar form as to cover an substantially entire surface of the photoelectric conversion body at the second side of the solar cell.

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

the solar cell is a back contact solar cell.

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

a second protection member is made of a resin sheet without a barrier layer

7 . A solar cell comprising:

a photoelectric conversion body; and

an electrode on the photoelectric conversion body, and containing a conductive material and a polyether-based urethane resin.
