Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A solar cell module is manufactured by forming silicone coating films ( 2, 2 ) on panels ( 1 a, 1 b ), placing a solar cell matrix ( 3 ) on the silicone coating film on panel ( 1 a ), providing a seal member ( 4 ) consisting of a base seal member ( 4 a ) of butyl rubber and protrusive seal segments ( 4 b ) of butyl rubber on a peripheral region of panel ( 1 a ), mating the two panels together such that the seal member ( 4 ) may abut against a peripheral region of panel ( 1 b ), and the solar cell matrix ( 3 ) may be sandwiched between the silicone coating films ( 2 ), and compressing and heating the mated panels ( 1 a, 1 b ) in vacuum for establishing a seal around the solar cell matrix ( 3 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for manufacturing a solar cell module by resin encapsulating a solar cell matrix comprising a plurality of electrically connected solar cell components between two panels, comprising the steps of: (i) forming a silicone coating film on one surface of each of two panels, excluding a peripheral region of the one surface, (ii) placing the solar cell matrix on the silicone coating film on one panel, such that in case the solar cell component is…
