Solar cell module

A roofing member, comprising:

• a substrate, a photo-electricity generating device, a filler resin sealing the photo-electricity generating device on the substrate, and a surface film covering the filler resin;
• wherein
• an insulating film is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the substrate so as to be inside all edges of the substrate,
• an inorganic fibrous sheet is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the surface film so as to be disposed inside all edges of the insulating film, and
• the module is bent at a portion thereof which includes three laminated layers comprising (i) the surface film, (ii) the filler resin and (iii) the substrate, and said portion is free from the insulating film and therefore is also free from the inorganic fibrous sheet.

An electricity generating apparatus, comprising a solar cell module and an inverter for converting an output of the solar cell module;

• wherein the solar cell module comprises a substrate, a photo-electricity generating device, a filler resin sealing the photo-electricity generating device on the substrate, and a surface film covering the filler resin;
• wherein
• an insulating film is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the substrate so as to be inside all edges of the substrate,
• an inorganic fibrous sheet is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the surface film so as to be disposed inside all edges of the insulating film, and
• the module is bent at a portion thereof which includes three laminated layers comprising (i) the surface film, (ii) the filler resin and (iii) the substrate, and said portion is free from the insulating film and therefore is also free from the inorganic fibrous sheet.

A roofing method, comprising:

• fixing a plurality of roofing members onto a roof sheathing by fixing means, and connecting a pair of mutually adjacent roofing members;
• wherein each roofing member comprises a substrate, a photo-electricity generating device, a filler resin sealing the photo-electricity generating device on the substrate, and a surface film covering the filler resin;
• wherein
• an insulating film is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the substrate so as to be inside all edges of the substrate,
• an inorganic fibrous sheet is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the surface film so as to be disposed inside all edges of the insulating film, and
• the roofing member is bent at a portion thereof which includes three laminated layers comprising (i) the surface film, (ii) the filler resin and (iii) the substrate, and said portion is free from the insulating film and therefore is also free from the inorganic fibrous sheet.

A ventilating apparatus, including a roof sheathing, and a plurality of roofing members fixed onto the roof sheathing so as to form a space between the sheathing and the roofing members for introducing external air thereinto, and a path for introducing the air in the space into an inside of a building and/or a path for discharging the air in the space to an outside of the building;

• wherein each roofing member comprises a substrate, a photo-electricity generating device, a filler resin sealing the photo-electricity generating device on the substrate, and a surface film covering the filler resin;
• wherein
• an insulating film is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the substrate so as to be inside all edges of the substrate,
• an inorganic fibrous sheet is inserted between the photo-electricity generating device and the surface film so as to be disposed inside all edges of the insulating film, and
• the roofing member is bent at a portion thereof which includes three laminated layers comprising (i) the surface film, (ii) the filler resin and (iii) the substrate, and said portion is free from the insulating film and therefore is also free from the inorganic fibrous sheet.
