<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable photoelectric conversion device in which high power-generation efficiency is always obtained by securely suppressing temperature rise of each photoelectric transducer even in the daytime of high solar-radiation intensity by enhancing cooling efficiency on each photoelectric conversion element, and in addition, serious degradation of the total output power of the device in case wherein the light does not irradiate any of the photoelectric conversion elements is prevented. SOLUTION: Pipes 16, 17 are laterally pierced through filling material 13 so that the pipes 16, 17 respectively contact upper and lower faces of each solar cell 14. Water is passed through inside the pipes 16, 17 to directly cool each solar cell 14. The solar cells are electrically connected in parallel by the pipes 16, 17, and the generated power from each solar cell 4 is taken out to the outside by the pipes 16, 17.</p> |
