Abstract

A solar cell module wherein fluctuations of output characteristics are unlikely to occur is provided. This solar cell module includes a solar cell, a first protective member provided on an outer side of the solar cell when viewed from the moving body, a second protective member provided on an inner side of the solar cell when viewed from the moving body, and a metal layer provided inward of the solar cell when viewed from the moving body. The metal layer is insulated from the solar cell and is electrically connected to ground potential.

Claims (20)

1 . A solar cell module installed in a moving body, comprising:

a solar cell;

a first protective member provided on an outer side of the solar cell when viewed from the moving body;

a second protective member provided on an inner side of the solar cell when viewed from the moving body; and

a metal layer provided inward of the solar cell when viewed from the moving body, wherein

the metal layer is insulated from the solar cell and is electrically connected to ground potential.

2 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the solar cell module is attached to an opening of the moving body.

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

the second protective member includes:

a first resin layer facing the solar cell;

a second resin layer facing inside of the moving body; and

the metal layer provided between the first resin layer and the second resin layer.

4 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sealant provided between the solar cell and the second protective member, wherein

the metal layer is provided inside the sealant.

5 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the metal layer is connected to the ground potential by an earth wire connection to the moving body.

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

the metal layer includes an exposed portion exposed to at least one of the first resin layer and the second resin layer, and

the metal layer is connected to the ground potential by connection of the exposed portion to the moving body.

7 . The solar cell module according to claim 1 , wherein the moving body is an automobile.
