Abstract
A method of manufacturing a solar cell according to the present invention is a method of manufacturing a solar cell which includes a reflective part 5, 6 configured to reflect sunlight to a back surface of a photovoltaic power generating part 3. The reflective part includes a reflective plate 6 and a backing substrate 5. The method includes a laminate forming process in which the reflective plate 6 and the backing substrate 5 are formed concurrently by laminate forming. With this arrangement, a method of manufacturing a solar cell, which can improve efficiency of a manufacturing process as a whole, is obtained.
Claims7
A method of manufacturing a solar cell which includes a reflective part configured to reflect sunlight to a back surface of a photovoltaic power generating part, said reflective part including a reflective plate and a backing substrate, said method comprising:
- a laminate forming process in which the reflective plate and the backing substrate are formed concurrently by laminate forming, wherein
- the laminate forming process includes forming the reflective part by internally coupling a multilayered piece of several films, and
- the laminate forming process includes stacking a front plate, a sealant, a cell string which is the photovoltaic power generating part, a sealant, the backing substrate and the multilayered piece, and applying a pressure from a back side of the backing substrate with a laminator jig to couple them therebetween.
