BYPASS DIODE DEVICE, METHOD FOR INSPECTING SAME, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING FILM DIODE DEVICE

摘要

[Problem] In conventional bypass diode devices, there have been problems in that workability is poor because diodes were installed individually for each cell in a photovoltaic device, and shortening hours worked was difficult. [Solution] In this bypass diode device (1) a plurality of diodes (5a - 5i) is formed on the upper surface of a supporting substrate (2) and connected in series. Furthermore, a plurality of terminal connection parts (4) that connect to the diodes (5a - 5i) is disposed so as to correspond with electrodes for external connections for each cell of a photovoltaic device. With this structure, the plurality of diodes (5a - 5i) is connected to the various cells of the photovoltaic device in a single installation operation, the workability for that installation improved, and shortening of the time for installation achieved.
