Abstract

A solar cell module is provided in which production efficiency and reliability are improved by realizing wire connection without complicating wiring from the solar cell element to the terminal box, in a solar cell module having a glass-facing-glass structure. The solar cell module includes a square substrate on which a solar cell element is formed on one surface thereof, a cathode arranged on one end side part of the square substrate, an anode arranged on the other side part of the square substrate, and two terminal boxes arranged on the other surface of the square substrate, which is the opposite surface of the solar cell element side, wherein the one terminal box is connected to the cathode and two cathode cables are drawn from this terminal box, and the other terminal box is connected to the anode and two anode cables are drawn from this terminal box.

Dependent claims

A solar cell module comprising:

a glass square substrate on which a solar cell element is formed on one surface (front surface) thereof,
a cathode arranged on one end side part of the square substrate,
an anode arranged on the other side part of the square substrate,
two terminal boxes arranged on the other surface of the square substrate, which is the opposite surface of the solar cell element side,
a cover glass stacked on the solar cell element on the square substrate, and
a sealing material arranged at circumferential part of the square substrate and the cover glass,
wherein the one terminal box is arranged at the end side part of anode side of the square substrate and is connected to the cathode which is drawn to a circuit inside of the terminal box for anode via a hole formed at the end side part of anode side,
two cathode cables are drawn from the terminal box for cathode,
the other terminal box arranged at the end side part of anode side of the square substrate and is connected to the anode which is drawn to a circuit inside of the terminal box for cathode via a hole formed at the end side part of anode side, and
two anode cables are drawn from the terminal box for anode.
