Method of manufacturing a solar cell module and apparatus of manufacturing a solar cell module

An apparatus of manufacturing a solar cell module, the apparatus radiating a laser beam to a multilayer body including a transparent substrate and a transparent electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a back electrode layer sequentially formed on the transparent substrate, the apparatus comprising:

• a laser beam oscillator that generates a laser beam having a wavelength included in an infrared wavelength region;
• an output controller that forms, in order to remove the photoelectric conversion layer and the back electrode layer, a first laser beam by controlling an output of the laser beam and that forms, in order to remove the transparent electrode layer, a second laser beam having an output larger than an output of the first laser beam by controlling the output of the laser beam;
• a stage on which the multilayer body is disposed;
• a position controller that controls a relative position between the laser beam oscillator and the stage such that a first region includes a second region and a peripheral rim of the second region is spaced from a peripheral rim of the first region, the first region being a region in which the formed photoelectric conversion layer and the formed back electrode layer are removed by irradiating the multilayer body with the first laser, the second region being a region in which the formed transparent electrode layer is removed by irradiating the multilayer body with the second laser beam.
