Abstract
【解決手段】太陽電池モジュールは、透明性を有する板状の第一カバー111と、第一カバー111に対向配置された第二カバー112と、第一カバー111および第二カバー112の間に配置された少なくとも1つの太陽電池セル113と、第一カバー111および第二カバー112の間を埋めて互いを接合し、太陽電池セル113を封止する封止材114と、太陽電池セル113に電気的に接続されて第一カバー111と第二カバー112との間で封止材114に取り囲まれる導電体としての端子221を備え、第一カバー111は、端子221を位置決めする位置決め部としてのボス121aを有する。ボス121aを有する第一カバー111に端子221が接触する。
【選択図】図4
Description
図1は、本発明の実施形態1に係る車両の外観を示す斜視図である。図2は、本発明の実施形態1に係る車両が備える太陽電池モジュールの外観を示す平面図であって、図1の矢印II方向から見た図である。図3は、図2中の太陽電池モジュールにおいて第一カバーを外して内部構造を拡大して示す平面図である。なお、簡略化のため、太陽電池モジュールの一部の太陽電池セルのみを記載している。図4は、図3中のIV−IV線に沿った断面図である。
また、第二カバー112は、透明であっても不透明であってもよい。
図8は、実施形態2の太陽電池モジュールの製造方法を説明するための断面図である。図8で示すように、実施形態2に従った太陽電池モジュールの製造方法では、ボス121aの長さが実施形態1に従ったボス121aの長さよりも長い。そのため図8で示す工程において貫通孔221aにボス121aを嵌め合わせやすくなる。さらに端子221の外れを防止できる。また、延長したボス121aをその後熱カシメすることにより、ボス121aを封止材114の厚み内に収めることができる。そのため、太陽電池モジュール全体の厚みが増すことがなく、質量の増加を防止できる。
