Abstract
A solar cell module has a rear housing to accommodate a photovoltaic cell module attached to the rear housing and comprising an array of photovoltaic cells arranged opposite to the rear housing wall. The solar cell module further comprises a grid comprising webs, wherein the grid is attached on the upper surface of the photovoltaic cell module and partly on the surrounding rear housing, wherein the webs define window openings essentially provided in front of the photovoltaic cells thus that the webs do not shadow the photovoltaic cells.

A solar cell module comprising:
- a photovoltaic cell module comprising an array of photovoltaic cells;
- a rear housing to accommodate the photovoltaic cell module attached to the rear housing;
- and
- an electrically conductive grid comprising webs,
- wherein the array of photovoltaic cells is arranged opposite to a rear housing wall of the rear housing, wherein the electrically conductive grid is attached on an upper surface of the photovoltaic cell module and partly on a surrounding portion of the rear housing, and wherein the webs define window openings essentially provided in front of the array of photovoltaic cells.
A method of producing a solar cell module having a photovoltaic cell module and a rear housing comprising;
- accommodating the photovoltaic cell module in the rear housing;
- providing a number of photovoltaic cells in an array of photovoltaic cells;
- arranging the array of photovoltaic cells opposite to a rear housing wall of the rear housing;
- attaching the photovoltaic cell module in the rear housing;
- providing an electrically conductive grid comprising webs on an upper surface of the photovoltaic cell module and partly on a surrounding portion of the rear housing, wherein the webs define window openings essentially provided in front of the array of photovoltaic cells;
- applying an adhesive on one of a back side of the electrically conductive grid or on positions complementary to the electrically conductive grid on the photovoltaic cell module and on the rear housing, and
- attaching the electrically conductive grid on the photovoltaic cell module and on the rear housing.
