Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a solar cell module having no possibility of forming a deposited layer of dirt on the periphery part of the module and no possibility of obstructing the sliding and falling of stayed snow by filling a moisture barrier material in the inner periphery part of the module for the waterproof treatment of the peripheral end part of the module. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of pieces of solar cell elements 1 are mutually connected and are pinched between two sheets of pottants 2 consisting of ethylenevinyl acete (EVA), for example, from their both side surfaces, while a 3-7mm wide polyester adhesive tape 10, for example, is adhered in advance on a light-receiving surface glass 3 along the periphery on the contact surface side with the pottants. Similarly, a polyester adhesive tape 11 is adhered on a water repellent back surface plate 4 being applied on both surfaces of a metal foil of Al or the like which intercepts the invasion of moisture and consisting of a thermal laminate resin, such as polyvinyl fluorite (PVF), along the periphery on the contact surface side with the pottants in such a way as to be positioned at the same place as that of the polyester adhesive tape 10 adhered on the light-receiving surface glass 3. Hereby, the possibility of a deposition of dirt or an accumulation of snow on the surface of the glass 3 is eliminated and the sun light can be stably received for a long term even though this solar cell module is installed in the outdoors.

However, if such a solar cell module is installed outdoors for a long period of time, the surface of the light-receiving surface glass 3 becomes dirty, the light transmittance decreases, and the electrical output decreases accordingly. Staining of the glass surface is due to the accumulation of dirt substances on the glass surface. Dirt substances that have temporarily adhered to the entire surface of the glass are washed away by rainwater and blocked by edges 7 consisting of moisture barrier material 5 and gasket 6 located around the solar cell module, where they form a deposited layer 8.
