Abstract

A stacked body is obtained by stacking a glass plate, a transparent resin sheet, a solar cell, a colored resin sheet, and a first resin sheet in the order. The stacked body is pressed under heat to fabricate the solar cell module. The module includes the glass plate, a transparent sealing layer placed between the glass plate and the solar cell and formed of the transparent resin sheet, a colored sealing layer placed between the first resin sheet and the solar cell and formed of the colored resin sheet, and the first resin sheet. One of the transparent resin sheet and the colored resin sheet has a tan δ of 1 or higher at a temperature of the pressing, and the other one of the transparent resin sheet and the colored resin sheet has a tan δ of less than 1 at the temperature of the pressing.

Claims (21)

1. A method of manufacturing a solar cell module, the method comprising:

obtaining a stacked body by stacking sequentially a glass plate, a transparent resin sheet, a solar cell, a colored resin sheet, and a first resin sheet; and

pressing the stacked body under heat to fabricate the solar cell module including the glass plate,

a transparent sealing layer placed between the glass plate and the solar cell and formed of the transparent resin sheet,

a colored sealing layer placed between the first resin sheet and the solar cell and formed of the colored resin sheet, and

the first resin sheet, wherein

one of the transparent resin sheet and the colored resin sheet is made of non-crosslinked polyolefin and has a tan δ of 1 or higher at a temperature of the pressing, and

the other one of the transparent resin sheet and the colored resin sheet has a tan δ of less than 1 at the temperature of the pressing.

2. The method of manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein

the colored resin sheet has a tan δ of less than 1 at the temperature of the pressing, and

the transparent resin sheet has a tan δ of 1 or higher at the temperature of the pressing.

3. The method of manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein

the colored resin sheet has a tan δ of 1 or higher at the temperature of the pressing, and

the transparent resin sheet has a tan δ of less than 1 at the temperature of the pressing.

4. The method of manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein

a sheet made of resin is used as the first resin sheet.

5. The method of manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein

the temperature of the pressing is 125 degrees Celsius.

6. The method of manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein

the tan δ of the other one of the transparent resin sheet and the colored resin sheet is 0.19 or higher at the temperature of the pressing.

7. The method of manufacturing a solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the other one of the transparent resin sheet and the colored resin sheet is made of a crosslinked resin.
