[Effect] Since the terminal of the present invention is configured as described above,
For each mounting table of terminals arranged on the same plane, the solar cell element having one electrode on the entire back surface and the other electrode on the rear edge of the front surface is placed, and each element is placed on a flat installation surface. It can be placed stably, and moreover, each element can be simplified simply by placing the contact of each terminal on which this element is placed on the other electrode of the other element placed on the front terminal. Since it can be surely connected in series with each other, there is no need to pay attention to the variation in the overlapping state of the electrodes as in the conventional tiled structure.

In addition, the second aspect of the invention is such that the element is inserted into the cylindrical body of the battery holder and the battery holders are connected in series by the connector, and the third aspect of the invention is that the element is inserted into each cylindrical body. Just by doing so, the terminals in the battery holder can reliably and mechanically and electrically connect all the electrodes of the required number of elements from the first element to the last element. Protected by this battery holder without being exposed.
