THIN FILM SOLAR BATTERY MODULE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are a thin film solar battery module wherein connection reliability of an external connecting terminal is improved and connection resistance is reduced, and a method for manufacturing such thin film solar battery module. A thin film solar battery module (1) is provided with an insulating transparent substrate (10), a solar battery cell (51), and an external connecting terminal (52).  The solar battery cell (51) includes a transparent electrode layer (11), a semiconductor layer (13) and a rear side electrode layer (12).  The external connecting terminal (52) includes a connecting layer (18), which is formed on the front side of transparent electrode layer (11) and composed of a single metal material layer, and a terminal layer (19) laminated on the connecting layer (18), and the external connecting terminal is arranged adjacent to the solar battery cell (51).  Adhesiveness between the transparent electrode layer (11) and the terminal layer (19) is improved compared with a case where the connecting layer (18) contains a semiconductor material, and contact resistance between the transparent electrode layer (11) and the terminal layer (19) is reduced.
