Abstract

A solar cell module includes a solar cell, a light-receiving surface member on a light-receiving side of the solar cell, a rear surface member on a rear side of the solar cell, and a sealing material between the light-receiving surface member and the rear surface member. The rear surface member has higher permeability of acetic acid than that of the light-receiving surface member. The sealing material seals the solar cell and includes a light-receiving side sealing material on the light-receiving side of the solar cell and a rear side sealing material on the rear side of the solar cell. The light-receiving side sealing material does not contain an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The rear side sealing material contains the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

Claims (41)

1 . A solar cell module comprising:

a solar cell;

a light-receiving surface member disposed on a light-receiving side of the solar cell;

a rear surface member disposed on a rear side of the solar cell, and having higher permeability of acetic acid than that of the light-receiving surface member; and

a sealing material disposed between the light-receiving surface member and the rear surface member, and sealing the solar cell, wherein, the sealing material includes:

a light-receiving side sealing material positioned on the light-receiving side of the solar cell, and does not contain an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer; and

a rear side sealing material positioned on the rear side of the solar cell, and contains the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.

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

the permeability of acetic acid of the rear surface member is higher than that of the light-receiving side sealing material.

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

the rear surface member is a resin sheet.

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

the rear surface member is a resin sheet.

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

the light-receiving side sealing material contains polyolefin, and

the rear surface member contains at least any one of polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polymethyl acrylate, polyamide, and polyimide.

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

the light-receiving side sealing material contains polyolefin, and

the rear surface member contains at least any one of polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polymethyl acrylate, polyamide, and polyimide.

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

the light-receiving side sealing material contains polymethyl acrylate, and

the rear surface member contains at least any one of polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, and polyamide.

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

the light-receiving side sealing material contains polymethyl acrylate, and

the rear surface member contains at least any one of polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, and polyamide.

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

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.

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

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.

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

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.

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

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.

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

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.

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

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.

15 . The solar cell module according to claim 7 , wherein

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.

16 . The solar cell module according to claim 8 , wherein

the light-receiving surface member is a glass plate, a ceramic plate, or an acrylic resin plate.
