Abstract

A 12th solar cell includes a light receiving surface and a back surface that face in opposite directions. A first adhesion layer adhesively attaches a wire to the light receiving surface, and a second adhesion layer that adhesively attaches a wire to the back surface. A first encapsulant encapsulates the 12th solar cell from a side of the light receiving surface, and a second encapsulant encapsulates the 12th solar cell from a side of the back surface. An amount of antioxidant contained in the first adhesion layer and the second adhesion layer is equal to or larger than an amount of antioxidant contained in the first encapsulant.

Claims (29)

1 . A solar cell module comprising:

a solar cell including a first surface and a second surface that face in opposite directions;

a first adhesion layer that adhesively attaches a first wiring member to the first surface;

a second adhesion layer that adhesively attaches a second wiring member to the second surface;

a first encapsulant that encapsulates the solar cell from a side of the first surface to which the first wiring member is adhesively attached by the first adhesion layer; and

a second encapsulant that encapsulates the solar cell from a side of the second surface to which the second wiring member is adhesively attached by the second adhesion layer, wherein

an amount of antioxidant contained in the first adhesion layer and the second adhesion layer is equal to or larger than an amount of antioxidant contained in the first encapsulant.

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

the first wiring member and the second wiring member contain copper.

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

an amount of antioxidant contained in the first adhesion layer is equal to or larger than an amount of antioxidant contained in the second adhesion layer.

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

a melting point of the first adhesion layer is higher than a melting point of the second adhesion layer.

5 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a low sticking force layer provided between the first adhesion layer and the first encapsulant and adhering to the first adhesion layer with a lower sticking force than to the first encapsulant.

6 . The solar cell module according to claim 3 , further comprising:

a film that sandwiches the first adhesion layer between the film and the first surface; and

a low sticking force layer provided between the film and the first encapsulant and adhering to the film with a lower sticking force than to the first encapsulant.

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

a first electrode containing copper is provided on the first surface,

a second electrode containing copper and having a larger area than the first electrode is provided on the second surface, and

the amount of antioxidant contained in the second adhesion layer is equal to or larger than the amount of antioxidant contained in the first adhesion layer.

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

a melting point of the second adhesion layer is higher than a melting point of the second adhesion layer.

9 . The solar cell module according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a low sticking force layer provided between the second adhesion layer and the second encapsulant and adhering to the second adhesion layer with a lower sticking force than to the second encapsulant.

10 . The solar cell module according to claim 7 , further comprising:

a film that sandwiches the second adhesion layer between the film and the second surface; and

a low sticking force layer provided between the film and the second encapsulant and adhering to the film with a lower sticking force than to the second encapsulant.
