SOLAR CELL MODULE AND METHOD FOR CONNECTING SAME

摘要

A solar cell module has excellent conversion efficiency by lowering the electric resistance between the solar cells in a solar cell module in which at least two dye-sensitized solar cells are coupled with each other. The solar cell module includes metallic plate or metallic tape, as the conductive member which does not have adhesiveness, located so as to keep in contact with the first current collecting line as the exposed portion of the first conductive layer of the first solar cell and the second current collecting line as the exposed portion of the second conductive layer of the second solar cell 20. The solar cell module further includes insulation tape as the coupling member that couples the first solar cell and the second solar cell such that the metallic plate or metallic tape remains in contact with them.

1. A solar cell module comprising;
at least two dye-sensitized solar cells coupled with each other, each of the dye-sensitized solar cells comprising: a photoelectrode substrate including a first base member, and a first conductive layer and a photoelectrode layer sequentially formed on one surface of the photoelectrode substrate; a counter electrode substrate including a second base member and a second conductive layer formed on one surface of the second base member, the counter electrode substrate being located with a certain space from the photoelectrode substrate so as to face the surface on which the first conductive layer is formed, and the counter electrode substrate being located to be displaced from the photoelectrode substrate such that an exposed portion of the first conductive layer and an exposed portion of the second conductive layer are defined; and a charge conveyance layer provided in the certain space; a conductive member which does not have adhesiveness, the conductive member being located so as to keep in contact with the exposed portion of the first conductive layer of a first solar cell and the exposed portion of the second conductive layer of a second solar cell; and a coupling member configured to couple the first solar cell with the second solar cell such that the conductive member remains in contact with the exposed portions.
