A photovoltaic element, process for the production thereof, method for removing a cover portion of a covered wire, and method for joining a covered wire and a conductor

摘要

A photovoltaic element having a wire disposed on a surface of said photovoltaic element for outputting a power generated by said photovoltaic element, and an electrode electrically joined with said wire while forming a joining portion, wherein said joining portion of said wire and said electrode has at least a first joining portion and a second joining portion which is adjacent to said first joining portion, and said second joining portion has an elasticity which is greater than that of said first joining portion. A process for the production of said photovoltaic element. A method for forming an electrical continuity between a covered wire and a conductor, including a method of removing a cover portion of said covered wire and a method of joining said covered wire with said conductor.
