Abstract
A solar cell module includes a solar cell section and a step forming plate. The solar cell section includes a front side transparent plate, a back surface member, and a solar cell sealed therebetween. The step forming plate is disposed on a front side of the front side transparent plate, overlapping partly with the front side transparent plate and forming a step between the solar cell section and the step forming plate.
Claims17
A solar cell module, comprising a solar cell section and a step forming plate,
- wherein the solar cell section comprises:
- a front side transparent plate;
- a back surface member;
- and
- a solar cell sealed between the front side transparent plate and the back surface member,
- wherein the step forming plate is disposed on a front side of the front side transparent plate, overlapping only partly with the front side of the front side transparent plate and forming a step between the solar cell section and the step forming plate, and
- wherein the step forming plate has a light transmissive property and at least partly overlaps with the solar cell in a plan view.
