Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent yellowing or blister by mixing, as organic peroxide, at a specified ratio, the weight ratio of A/B between dialkylperoxide A and at least one kind of peroxide B selected among alkylperoxyester and peroxyketal. SOLUTION: The use ratio between peroxides A and B is, in weight ratio, that A/B is 10/90-90/10, preferably, 30/70-70/30. The total use amount of the peroxides A and B is 0.24-4 weight part to ethylene copolymer 100 weight part, preferably, 0.5-3 weight part. If the total use amount is less than the range, the ethylene copolymer is hard to sufficiently bridge, resulting in insufficient heat-resistance and adhesive characteristics, and if used excessively coloring and blister of a protective sheet will be caused. Thus, by setting weight ratio of A/B to be 10/90-90/10, preferably 30/70-70/30, bridging is performed in a short time, with yellowing or blister prevented.

2. Description of the Related Art As a typical example of a solar cell module, there is known a structure in which a solar cell element fixed up and down by a protective sheet is further protected and fixed by an upper transparent protective material and a lower substrate protective material. . A protective sheet used for such a solar cell module is required to have weather resistance, adhesiveness, heat resistance, and the like, and to have high transparency on the light receiving side. In order to satisfy such requirements, an ethylene copolymer containing an organic peroxide is used as a base resin, and a coupling agent, a crosslinking assistant, and the like are appropriately added thereto.

It is already known that a great many organic peroxides can be used in an ethylene copolymer. Among them, the dialkyl peroxide type has a problem that many of them have a high half-life temperature and therefore take a long time for sealing.
Also, after sealing the solar cell element, by performing a durability test specified in JIS C-8917, the protective sheet,
In some cases, yellowing occurred at the end of the solar cell module and at the contact portion with the soldered portion of the solar cell element. When a peroxide such as alkyl peroxyester or peroxyketal having a lower half-life temperature is used in place of the above dialkyl peroxide, crosslinking of the ethylene copolymer occurs in a shorter time, and the production of the sealing process is performed. Although it is possible to enhance the property, in many cases, it is thought that it is caused by the decomposition product of peroxide, but there is a case where a swelling phenomenon is observed in the protective sheet part, and a satisfactory product can be obtained with good quality reproducibility. I couldn't do that.

The weight ratio of peroxides (A) and (B) is such that (A) / (B) is in the range of 10 / 90-90 / 10, preferably 30 / 70-70 / 30. . The total amount of peroxides (A) and (B) used is 0.2 to 4 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the ethylene copolymer. If the total amount is less than the above range, it is difficult to sufficiently crosslink the ethylene copolymer, and heat resistance and adhesiveness may be insufficient. In addition, excessive use is not preferred because it causes coloring and swelling of the protective sheet. The proportions of (A) and (B) are in the above ranges in order to increase the crosslinking rate and prevent discoloration and blistering. If the proportion of (B) is too small, the crosslinking rate is insufficient or it is difficult to completely prevent coloring, which is not preferable. If the proportion of (B) is too large, a blistering phenomenon occurs. It is not preferable because there is a fear.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a protective sheet free from yellowing and blistering. When a solar cell module is manufactured using such a protective sheet, crosslinking can be performed at a low temperature in a short time, so that the productivity of the solar cell module can be increased. Further, the obtained solar cell module is excellent in appearance and quality and has a small decrease in light transmittance over time, so that high power generation efficiency can be maintained for a long period of time.
