Abstract

The present disclosure may provide a jig for laminating a solar cell module, the jig including: a first body including a first upper surface and a first side surface adjacent to the first upper surface and having at least a partial area configured to come in contact with one side surface forming a corner of the solar cell module; a second body including a second upper surface and a second side surface adjacent to the second upper surface and having at least a partial area configured to come in contact with another side surface forming the corner; and a fixer disposed in a first groove of the first upper surface and a second groove of the second upper surface and disposed across the first body and the second body to fix the solar cell module, wherein the first upper surface and the second upper surface are positioned to be coplanar, and a thickness of the fixer is less than a thickness of the first groove and a thickness of the second groove.

Claims (20)

1 . A jig for laminating a solar cell module, the jig comprising:

a first body including a first upper surface and a first side surface adjacent to the first upper surface and having at least a partial area configured to come in contact with one side surface forming a corner of the solar cell module;

a second body including a second upper surface and a second side surface adjacent to the second upper surface and having at least a partial area configured to come in contact with another side surface forming the corner; and

a fixer disposed in a first groove of the first upper surface and a second groove of the second upper surface and disposed across the first body and the second body to fix the solar cell module,

wherein the first side surface includes a plurality of first protrusions each protruding toward said one side surface of the solar cell module and having a first contact surface that contacts said one side surface, the plurality of first protrusions being disposed to be spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the first body; and

wherein the second side surface includes a plurality of second protrusions each protruding toward said another side surface of the solar cell module and having a second contact surface that contacts said another side surface, the plurality of second protrusions being disposed to be spaced apart in a longitudinal direction of the second body; and

wherein a length of the first body and a length of the second body are less than ½ of a length of the solar cell module.

2 . The jig of claim 1 , wherein the second body is connected perpendicular to the first body.

3 . The jig of claim 1 , wherein the first body includes a first hole configured to communicate with the first side surface to form a path through which air in an encapsulation material of the solar cell module is released to an outside during a laminating process.

4 . The jig of claim 3 , wherein the first body includes a first lower surface and a third side surface adjacent to the first lower surface, and the first hole is disposed to be concave in the first lower surface and disposed to pass through the first side surface and the third side surface.

5 . The jig of claim 1 , wherein the second body includes a second hole configured to communicate with the second side surface to form a path through which air in an encapsulation material of the solar cell module is released to an outside during a laminating process.

6 . The jig of claim 5 , wherein the second body includes a second lower surface and a fourth side surface adjacent to the second lower surface, and the second hole is disposed to be concave in the second surface and disposed to pass through the second side surface and the fourth side surface.

7 . The jig of claim 1 , wherein the fixer is disposed between the first protrusions neighboring each other in the longitudinal direction of the first body and is disposed between the second protrusions neighboring each other in the longitudinal direction of the second body.

8 . The jig of claim 1 , wherein:

the first groove is disposed between the first protrusions neighboring each other in the longitudinal direction of the first body; and

the second groove is disposed between the second protrusions neighboring each other in the longitudinal direction of the second body.

9 . The jig of claim 1 , wherein:

the first upper surface and the second upper surface are positioned to be coplanar; and

a thickness of the fixer is less than a thickness of the first groove and a thickness of the second groove.

10 . The jig of claim 1 , wherein a surface of the first body and a surface of the second body include a Teflon coating layer.
