Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a thin film solar cell module including series-connected unit cells, wherein a thin film silicon photoelectric conversion unit and a compound semiconductor-containing photoelectric conversion unit are electrically connected in each unit cell. Each unit cell includes at least a transparent electrode, an amorphous silicon-containing photoelectric conversion unit, an intermediate transparent electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion unit, a compound semiconductor-based photoelectric conversion unit, and a metal electrode in this order from the light incident side. In each of the unit cells, the photoelectric conversion unit and the compound semiconductor-based photoelectric conversion unit are connected in series to form a series-connected component. The series-connected component is connected to a first photoelectric conversion unit in parallel via the transparent electrode and the intermediate transparent electrode layer.
