SOLAR CELL MODULE AND ITS INSTALLING METHOD

摘要

A solar cell module (60) comprising a plurality of solar cells (14) each having such a structure that a plurality of parallel grooves (8) are made in each light receiving face and an electrode (5) for taking out the output is provided on one inner side face (electrode forming inner side face) of each groove in the widthwise direction, and supports (10, 50) for supporting the solar cells (14) integrally while directing the light receiving face upward. Annual generated energy can be increased by adjusting the arranging direction of the electrode forming inner side face of the groove (8) according to on the inclination angle beta of the light receiving face of each solar cell (14) with respect to a horizontal plane at the time of installation, and the latitude d at the installation place of the solar cell module. A solar cell in which the output currents from respective solar cells in a module can be made uniform even when sunlight impinges from an oblique direction can thereby be provided.
