Abstract

Disclosed is a solar cell module that comprises a first protective member, a second protective member opposed to the first protective member and being more flexible than the first protective member, a solar cell comprising a first main surface facing toward the first protective member and a second main surface facing toward the second protective member, and an interconnection wiring member bonded to the second main surface of the solar cell. A recessed portion and a protruding portion are provided on each of a pair of main surfaces of the interconnection wiring member such that the protruding portion of one of the main surfaces and the recessed portion of the other main surface are located to correspond to each other. And two widthwise-opposite end portions of the interconnection wiring member extend toward the first protective member in a thickness direction of the solar cell.

Claims (15)

1 . A solar cell module comprising:

a first protective member;

a second protective member opposed to the first protective member and being more flexible than the first protective member;

a solar cell comprising a first main surface facing toward the first protective member and a second main surface facing toward the second protective member; and

an interconnection wiring member bonded to the second main surface of the solar cell,

wherein a recessed portion and a protruding portion are provided on each of a pair of main surfaces of the interconnection wiring member such that the protruding portion of one of the main surfaces and the recessed portion of the other main surface are located to correspond to each other, and

two widthwise-opposite end portions of the interconnection wiring member extend toward the first protective member in a thickness direction of the solar cell.

2 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , further comprising a resin adhesive layer bonding the interconnection wiring member and the solar cell.

3 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the recessed portion and the protruding portion extend in an extending direction of the interconnection wiring member.

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

each of the first protective member and the sealing member is translucent or transparent, and

at least part of light reflected by the interconnection wiring member is reflected at any one of an interface between the first protective member and the sealing member and an interface between the first protective member and air, and impinges on the first main surface of the solar cell.

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

the second protective member is translucent or transparent, and

at least part of light reflected by the interconnection wiring member is reflected at any one of an interface between the second protective member and the sealing member and an interface between the second protective member and air, and impinges on the second main surface of the solar cell.
