WEATHER RESISTANCE PHOTOVOLTAIC ELEMENT, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING, INSTALLATION OF THE SAME, AND POWER GENERATION SYSTEM USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a price-controlled highly reliable weather resistant photovoltaic element which assures outdoor use with the minimum protection member even when a photovoltaic element which does not have full watertight property is used. SOLUTION: A photovoltaic element, consisting of an electrode layer and a photovoltaic layer formed on a base material, 3 has a structure including a transparent thin film resin layer 9 to the entire part of a part of the photosensitive surface, where a photovoltaic layer 5 is formed and covering the cross-sectional portion of the photovoltaic element with a sealing member 10 which is different from the transparent thin-film resin layer 9.
