## Abstract

Disclosed is an electric wire bracket for solar cells, which includes a pair of upper and lower plates respectively having adhesive layers adhered to each other and grooves facing each other so as to form insertion paths, into which a plurality of electric wires for supplying power produced by solar cells to electronic instruments are inserted, through the connection of the upper and lower plates by adhering the adhesive layers to each other, thus facilitating the connection of the wires. The electric wire bracket for solar cells includes a lower plate, an upper plate, release papers, and conductive layers, wherein at least one insertion path, into which the electric wires for solar cells are inserted, is formed by connecting the lower plate and the upper plate.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electric wire bracket for solar cells comprising:
a lower plate including at least one groove formed across the upper surface thereof and an adhesive layer formed around the groove;
an upper plate including at least one groove, facing the groove of the lower plate, formed across the lower surface thereof and an adhesive layer formed around the groove;
release papers respectively provided on the upper surface of the adhesive layer of the lower plate and the lower surface of the adhesive layer of the upper plate; and
conductive layers, to which cores of electric wires for solar cells, exposed by peeling off sheaths from the wires, are connected, respectively formed in the groove of the lower plate and the groove of the upper plate,
wherein at least one insertion path, into which the electric wires for solar cells are inserted, is formed by connecting the lower plate and the upper plate.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electric wire bracket for solar cells according to claim 1, further comprising:
a lower adhesive layer formed on the lower surface of the lower plate; and
a lower release paper provided on the lower surface of the lower adhesive layer.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1, 2)

The electric wire bracket for solar cells according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the at least one groove includes a plurality of grooves, connected to the conductive layers and facing each other.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electric wire bracket for solar cells according to claim 3, wherein at least one through hole for vertically passing a fixture is formed through the lower plate so that the lower plate can be fixed to a wall using the fixture.
