DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL AND DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL MODULE

摘要

There are particularly provided a dye-sensitized solar cell and a dye-sensitized solar cell module that can ensure a sealing structure for, in particular, external connection terminals and can prevent an electrolytic solution from leaking from a solar cell. A dye-sensitized solar cell 10 is provided with a laminated structure unit 18 including a porous semiconductor layer 12 with a dye adsorbed, a conductive metal layer 14 serving as an anode electrode and a conductor layer 16 serving as a cathode electrode. Respective one end portions of the conductive metal layer 14 and the conductor layer 16 extend from the laminated structure unit 18 to provide respective extending portions 14a and 16a. The whole surfaces of a first resin sheet 22 serving as a transparent substrate and a second resin sheet 24 serving as an opposite substrate are adhered and sealed. Parts of the extending portions 14a and 16a are exposed from openings 26 and 28 provided on the first resin sheet 22 to be formed into external connection terminals.
