Photoelectric conversion module, paddle, and method for manufacturing photoelectric conversion module

A method for manufacturing a photoelectric conversion module, the method comprising:

• a step of preparing a first photoelectric conversion element including a first conductive substrate and a second photoelectric conversion element including a second conductive substrate and an insulating material adhered to the second conductive substrate;
• and
• a connecting step of electrically connecting a part of the second conductive substrate of the second photoelectric conversion element to the first photoelectric conversion element, wherein
• the first photoelectric conversion element comprises:
• a first electrode layer connected to the first conductive substrate of the first photoelectric conversion element;
• a second electrode layer;
• and
• a photoelectric conversion layer between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer,
• the connecting step includes arranging a part of the second conductive substrate of the second photoelectric conversion element to be electrically connected to the first photoelectric conversion element by a conductor while the insulating material separates the second conductive substrate of the second photoelectric conversion element from the first conductive substrate of the first photoelectric conversion element without adhering to the first photoelectric conversion element, and
• when viewed in a cross section, a thickness of the insulating material is smaller than a distance between the second electrode layer of the first photoelectric conversion element and the second conductive substrate at a position where the conductor is provided wherein at least one of the first conductive substrate and the first electrode layer of the first photoelectric conversion element extends outside the second electrode layer and the photoelectric conversion layer when viewed from a height direction, and when viewed from the height direction, the insulating material overlaps at least a part of a region where at least one of the first conductive substrate and the first electrode layer in the first photoelectric conversion element extends outside the second electrode layer and the photoelectric conversion layer.
