Dye-sensitized solar cell module and method of producing the same

摘要

A dye-sensitized solar cell module comprising: a plurality of electrically series-connected solar cells having a first conductive layer formed on an insulating substrate; a photoelectric conversion device formed on the first conductive layer; and a second conductive layer formed on the photoelectric conversion device, wherein the photoelectric conversion device has a photoelectric conversion layer having a porous semiconductor layer adsorbing a dye, a carrier transporting layer and a catalyst layer and the dye-sensitized solar cell module is characterized in that the second conductive layer of the above-described one solar cell contacts the first conductive layer of an adjacent another solar cell and the photoelectric conversion device of the above-described adjacent another solar cell contacts the second conductive layer of the above-described one solar cell.

1. A dye-sensitized solar cell module comprising:
a plurality of electrically series-connected solar cells each having a first conductive layer formed on an insulating substrate, a photoelectric conversion device formed on the first conductive layer, and a second conductive layer formed over the photoelectric conversion device, wherein the photoelectric conversion device includes a photoelectric conversion layer, a carrier transporting layer and a catalyst layer, the photoelectric conversion layer comprising a porous semiconductor adsorbing a dye, and wherein the second conductive layer formed over the photoelectric conversion device of the above-described one solar cell contacts the first conductive layer of an adjacent another solar cell and the photoelectric conversion layer of the above-described adjacent another solar cell is in direct physical contact with the second conductive layer formed over the above-described one solar cell, wherein the carrier transporting layer of one solar cell is separated from the carrier transporting layer of an adjacent another solar cell by the intervening second conductive layer to prevent the carrier transporting layers from coming in contact with each other.
