In the following, the solar cell module is described as being fitted into a recess provided in the roof portion of the vehicle body of the vehicle, but the position to be fitted may be other than the roof portion. For example, you may fit in the side surface containing the bonnet part of a vehicle, a trunk part, and a door part. Moreover, although a solar cell is described as a double-sided power generation type, this is an example of improving the power generation efficiency, and even a single-sided power generation type solar cell is included in the scope of the present invention that improves the design.

以下で述べる材質、厚さ、寸法、車体の色等は説明のための例示であって、太陽電池モジュールの仕様に応じ、適宜変更が可能である。以下では、全ての図面において一または対応する要素には同一の符号を付し、重複する説明を省略する。   The material, thickness, dimensions, body color, and the like described below are examples for explanation, and can be appropriately changed according to the specifications of the solar cell module. Hereinafter, in all the drawings, one or the corresponding element is denoted by the same reference numeral, and redundant description is omitted.

図1は、車両8に搭載された太陽電池モジュール10を示し、図1(a)は全体斜視図で、(b)は、その拡大図である。図2は、図1のA−A線に沿った断面図である。以下では、車両8に搭載される太陽電池モジュール10を、特に断らない限り太陽電池モジュール10と呼ぶことにする。太陽電池モジュール10は、太陽電池パネル12が車両8の車体14におけるルーフ部の外板に設けられた凹部16に嵌め込まれて搭載される。   FIG. 1 shows a solar cell module 10 mounted on a vehicle 8, FIG. 1 (a) is an overall perspective view, and FIG. 1 (b) is an enlarged view thereof. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. Hereinafter, the solar cell module 10 mounted on the vehicle 8 will be referred to as the solar cell module 10 unless otherwise specified. In the solar cell module 10, the solar cell panel 12 is mounted by being fitted into a recess 16 provided on the outer plate of the roof portion of the vehicle body 14 of the vehicle 8.

図2に示されるように、太陽電池モジュール10は、太陽電池パネル12と、太陽電池パネル12を車体14の凹部16に嵌め込んで保持する保持部材18を含んで構成される。   As shown in FIG. 2, the solar cell module 10 includes a solar cell panel 12 and a holding member 18 that holds the solar cell panel 12 by fitting it into the recess 16 of the vehicle body 14.

太陽電池パネル12は、複数の太陽電池セル20について配線材22,24を用いて互いに間隔を空けて接続した太陽電池ストリング26を備える。太陽電池ストリング26の受光面側には、配線材22,24を覆う広さを有し、可視光の一部を遮断し赤外線を透過させる赤外線透過フィルタ30が配置される。赤外線透過フィルタ30を間に挟み込む2枚の封止材シート32,34で構成される受光面側の封止材36と裏面側の封止材38とで太陽電池ストリング26を挟み、その外側に受光面側の保護部材40と裏面側の保護部材42を配置して、太陽電池パネル12が構成される。   The solar battery panel 12 includes a solar battery string 26 that is connected to the plurality of solar battery cells 20 with wiring members 22 and 24 spaced apart from each other. On the light-receiving surface side of the solar cell string 26, an infrared transmission filter 30 having a size covering the wiring members 22 and 24 and blocking part of visible light and transmitting infrared light is disposed. The solar cell string 26 is sandwiched between the sealing material 36 on the light receiving surface side and the sealing material 38 on the back surface side, which are composed of two sealing material sheets 32 and 34 sandwiching the infrared transmission filter 30 therebetween, and on the outside thereof. The solar cell panel 12 is configured by arranging the protection member 40 on the light receiving surface side and the protection member 42 on the back surface side.

太陽電池セル20は、太陽光等の光を受光することで正孔および電子の光生成キャリアを生成する光電変換部を備える。光電変換部は、例えば、シリコン(Si)、ガリウム砒素(GaAs)、インジウム燐(InP)等の半導体材料の基板を有する。光電変換部の構造は、広義のpn接合である。例えば、単結晶シリコン基板と非晶質シリコンのヘテロ接合を用いることができる。この場合、受光面側の基板上に、i型非晶質シリコン層と、ボロン(B)等がドープされたp型非晶質シリコン層と、酸化インジウム(In23)の透光性導電酸化物で構成される透明導電膜(TCO)を積層し、基板の裏面側に、i型非晶質シリコン層と、燐(P)等がドープされたn型非晶質シリコン層と、透明導電膜を積層する構造とすることができる。The solar battery cell 20 includes a photoelectric conversion unit that generates light-generated carriers of holes and electrons by receiving light such as sunlight. The photoelectric conversion unit includes a substrate made of a semiconductor material such as silicon (Si), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), or the like. The structure of the photoelectric conversion unit is a pn junction in a broad sense. For example, a heterojunction of a single crystal silicon substrate and amorphous silicon can be used. In this case, an i-type amorphous silicon layer, a p-type amorphous silicon layer doped with boron (B) or the like, and indium oxide (In 2 O 3 ) translucency on the substrate on the light-receiving surface side. A transparent conductive film (TCO) composed of a conductive oxide is laminated, and an i-type amorphous silicon layer and an n-type amorphous silicon layer doped with phosphorus (P) or the like on the back side of the substrate, It can be set as the structure which laminates a transparent conductive film.

光電変換部は、太陽光等の光を電気に変換する機能を有すれば、これ以外の構造であってもよい。例えば、p型多結晶シリコン基板と、その受光面側に形成されたn型拡散層と、その裏面側に形成されたアルミニウム金属膜とを備える構造であってもよい。   The photoelectric conversion unit may have a structure other than this as long as it has a function of converting light such as sunlight into electricity. For example, a structure including a p-type polycrystalline silicon substrate, an n-type diffusion layer formed on the light-receiving surface side, and an aluminum metal film formed on the back surface side may be used.

配線材22,24は、光電変換部の上の透明導電膜の表面に導電ペースト等を用いて形成された接続用電極にハンダや導電性接着剤等により接続される導電性部材である。配線材22,24としては、銅等の金属導電性材料で構成される薄板が用いられる。薄板に代えて撚り線状のものを用いることもできる。導電性材料としては、銅の他に、銀、アルミニウム、ニッケル、錫、金、あるいはこれらの合金を用いることができる。上記の導電性材料の表面にメッキ層を形成してもよい。このように、配線材22,24は金属材料で構成されるので、太陽電池パネル12の受光面側から見ると、細長く延びる金属色の配線材22,24が視認される。配線材22,24の幅寸法は、太陽電池パネル12の仕様によって異なるが、一例を挙げると、約1〜2mmである。   The wiring members 22 and 24 are conductive members that are connected to a connection electrode formed using a conductive paste or the like on the surface of the transparent conductive film on the photoelectric conversion portion by solder or a conductive adhesive. As the wiring members 22 and 24, thin plates made of a metal conductive material such as copper are used. Instead of a thin plate, a stranded wire can be used. As the conductive material, in addition to copper, silver, aluminum, nickel, tin, gold, or an alloy thereof can be used. A plating layer may be formed on the surface of the conductive material. Thus, since the wiring materials 22 and 24 are comprised with a metal material, when it sees from the light-receiving surface side of the solar cell panel 12, the elongated metal-colored wiring materials 22 and 24 are visually recognized. Although the width dimension of the wiring materials 22 and 24 changes with specifications of the solar cell panel 12, if an example is given, it will be about 1-2 mm.

受光面側の封止材36と裏面側の封止材38は、太陽電池セル20に対し、衝撃の緩衝材としての役割と、水分の侵入を防ぐ機能等を有し、層状に形成される部材である。これらの封止材36,38は、耐熱性、接着性、柔軟性、成形性、耐久性等を考慮して材質が選定される。受光面側の封止材36は外部からの光を取り入れるため、裏面側の封止材38は太陽電池セル20が設けられない領域を通った光をそのまま裏面側の外部へ出すため、それぞれ、できるだけ高い透明性を有し、入射した光を吸収したり反射することなく透過させる透明封止材が用いられる。例えば、エチレンビニルアセテート(EVA)等が用いられる。EVA以外には、PVB、シリコーン系樹脂、ポリオレフィン樹脂、ウレタン系樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、エポキシ系樹脂等を用いることもできる。受光面側の封止材36は、2枚の封止材シート32,34を積層して構成される。   The sealing material 36 on the light-receiving surface side and the sealing material 38 on the back surface side have a role as a shock absorbing material and a function of preventing moisture from entering the solar battery cell 20 and are formed in layers. It is a member. These sealing materials 36 and 38 are selected in consideration of heat resistance, adhesiveness, flexibility, moldability, durability, and the like. Since the sealing material 36 on the light receiving surface side takes in light from the outside, the sealing material 38 on the back surface side emits the light that has passed through the region where the solar battery cell 20 is not provided to the outside on the back surface side, respectively. A transparent sealing material that has as high a transparency as possible and allows incident light to pass through without being absorbed or reflected is used. For example, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) or the like is used. Besides EVA, PVB, silicone resin, polyolefin resin, urethane resin, acrylic resin, epoxy resin, and the like can also be used. The sealing material 36 on the light receiving surface side is configured by laminating two sealing material sheets 32 and 34.

赤外線透過フィルタ30は、可視光の一部を遮断し赤外線を透過させる特性を有するフィルタシートである。図3は、赤外線透過フィルタ30の透過特性を示す図で、横軸が光の波長λで、縦軸が透過率Tである。赤外線透過フィルタ30は、可視光の波長λVの範囲では低い透過率で、赤外線の波長λURの範囲では高い一定の透過率を有する。図3の例では、波長λVの範囲の透過率はT=0で赤外線透過フィルタ30は可視光領域の光を吸収する。赤外線の波長λURの範囲の透過率はT=0.9で、実質的に赤外線透過フィルタ30が配置されない状態とほぼ同じように光が太陽電池セル20に照射される。なお、赤外線透過フィルタ30の透過特性は図3に示したものに限られない。The infrared transmission filter 30 is a filter sheet having a characteristic of blocking a part of visible light and transmitting infrared light. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the transmission characteristics of the infrared transmission filter 30, where the horizontal axis represents the light wavelength λ and the vertical axis represents the transmittance T. The infrared transmission filter 30 has a low transmittance in the visible light wavelength range λ V and a high constant transmittance in the infrared wavelength range λ UR . In the example of FIG. 3, the transmittance in the wavelength λ V range is T = 0, and the infrared transmission filter 30 absorbs light in the visible light region. The transmittance in the range of the infrared wavelength λ UR is T = 0.9, and light is applied to the solar cells 20 in substantially the same manner as in the state where the infrared transmission filter 30 is not disposed. The transmission characteristics of the infrared transmission filter 30 are not limited to those shown in FIG.

かかる赤外線透過フィルタ30は、トリアセチルセルロース、ABS樹脂、ASA樹脂のうちの1種の樹脂成分に、ペリレン系の黒色顔料またはアンスラキノン系の赤色染料と緑色染料と黒色染料の混合物である着色剤が配合されたフィルタシートを用いることができる。   The infrared transmission filter 30 includes a colorant that is a mixture of a perylene-based black pigment or an anthraquinone-based red dye, a green dye, and a black dye in one resin component of triacetyl cellulose, ABS resin, and ASA resin. Can be used.

赤外線透過フィルタ30は、配線材22,24が延びる長手方向に沿って配線材22,24を十分に覆い隠すように、配線材22,24の幅寸法よりも広い幅寸法を有する。配線材22,24の幅寸法が約1〜2mmの例では、配線材22,24と赤外線透過フィルタ30との間の位置決め誤差を考慮して、赤外線透過フィルタ30の幅寸法を約3〜6mmとすることができる。   The infrared transmission filter 30 has a width that is wider than the width of the wiring members 22 and 24 so as to sufficiently cover the wiring members 22 and 24 along the longitudinal direction in which the wiring members 22 and 24 extend. In an example in which the width dimension of the wiring members 22 and 24 is about 1 to 2 mm, the width dimension of the infrared transmission filter 30 is about 3 to 6 mm in consideration of a positioning error between the wiring members 22 and 24 and the infrared transmission filter 30. It can be.

再び図2に戻り、受光面側の保護部材40は、外部から光を取り入れることができる透明な板体、フィルムである。受光面側の保護部材40としては、ガラス板、樹脂板、樹脂フィルム等の透光性を有する部材を用いることができる。   Returning to FIG. 2 again, the protective member 40 on the light receiving surface side is a transparent plate or film that can take in light from the outside. As the protective member 40 on the light receiving surface side, a translucent member such as a glass plate, a resin plate, or a resin film can be used.

裏面側の保護部材42は、裏面側の封止材38を通ってきた光を裏面側の外部へ出すことができる無色透明なシートである。裏面側の保護部材42としては、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)シート等を用いることができる。   The protection member 42 on the back side is a colorless and transparent sheet that can emit light that has passed through the sealing material 38 on the back side to the outside on the back side. As the protective member 42 on the back side, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) sheet or the like can be used.

車体14に設けられる凹部16は、太陽電池パネル12を嵌め込む収納部である。凹部16は、太陽電池パネル12を嵌め込むために、車体14のルーフ部の外板の外表面をくぼませた部分である。車体14は、車両8の外形を形作るもので、金属色や塗装色によって、光を反射する表面を有する。凹部16は、太陽電池パネル12の保護部材42の裏面44の周縁部を支持できるように、2段階のくぼみを有する。くぼみの底面46は、車体14の表面であるので、光反射性を有する。くぼみの底面47は、底面46より浅く形成される。   The recess 16 provided in the vehicle body 14 is a storage portion into which the solar cell panel 12 is fitted. The concave portion 16 is a portion where the outer surface of the outer plate of the roof portion of the vehicle body 14 is recessed in order to fit the solar cell panel 12. The vehicle body 14 forms the outer shape of the vehicle 8, and has a surface that reflects light depending on a metal color or a paint color. The concave portion 16 has a two-step depression so that the peripheral portion of the back surface 44 of the protective member 42 of the solar cell panel 12 can be supported. Since the bottom surface 46 of the recess is the surface of the vehicle body 14, it has light reflectivity. The bottom surface 47 of the recess is formed shallower than the bottom surface 46.

保持部材18は、車体14の凹部16に太陽電池パネル12を嵌め込んで保持するための樹脂材である。保持部材18は、凹部16の2段のくぼみの側面と、くぼみの底面47の上面に配置され、太陽電池パネル12の側面と保護部材42の裏面44の周縁部とを保持する。保持部材18としては、樹脂ゴムを用いることができる。樹脂ゴムとしては、イソプレンゴム、スチレンゴム、ブタジエンゴム、ウレタンゴム、フッ素ゴム、ブチルゴム、シリコーン樹脂等を用いることができる。樹脂ゴム以外で、車体14の金属材料の弾性率よりも小さな弾性率を有する樹脂を用いてもよい。例えば、セルロースアセテート、フエノール樹脂、エポキシ樹脂、アクリル系フォーム等を用いることができる。   The holding member 18 is a resin material for fitting and holding the solar cell panel 12 in the recess 16 of the vehicle body 14. The holding member 18 is disposed on the side surface of the two-step recess of the recess 16 and the upper surface of the bottom surface 47 of the recess, and holds the side surface of the solar cell panel 12 and the peripheral portion of the back surface 44 of the protection member 42. As the holding member 18, a resin rubber can be used. As the resin rubber, isoprene rubber, styrene rubber, butadiene rubber, urethane rubber, fluorine rubber, butyl rubber, silicone resin, or the like can be used. Other than the resin rubber, a resin having an elastic modulus smaller than that of the metal material of the vehicle body 14 may be used. For example, cellulose acetate, phenol resin, epoxy resin, acrylic foam, or the like can be used.

図2に示されるように、車体14は、凹部16とその周縁側である凹部外周部との間に段差が設けられるが、太陽電池モジュール10の受光面側の保護部材40の上面と車体14の凹部外周部の上面の間には段差がなく、一つの面形状を有する。これによって、車両8の車体14の流線型形状を損なうことなく、太陽電池モジュール10を車両8に搭載することができる。図2では太陽電池モジュール10の受光面側の保護部材40の上面が平坦面として示したが、凹部16が設けられる車体14が流線型の曲面を有する場合は、太陽電池モジュール10に可撓性を持たせることで、保護部材40の上面の曲面と、凹部外周部の上面の曲面とが一つの曲面形状を構成するようにできる。   As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle body 14 is provided with a step between the concave portion 16 and the outer peripheral portion of the concave portion which is the peripheral side thereof, but the upper surface of the protection member 40 on the light receiving surface side of the solar cell module 10 and the vehicle body 14. There is no step between the upper surfaces of the outer peripheral portions of the recesses, and it has one surface shape. Thus, the solar cell module 10 can be mounted on the vehicle 8 without impairing the streamline shape of the vehicle body 14 of the vehicle 8. In FIG. 2, the upper surface of the protective member 40 on the light receiving surface side of the solar cell module 10 is shown as a flat surface. However, when the vehicle body 14 provided with the recess 16 has a streamlined curved surface, the solar cell module 10 is flexible. By providing it, the curved surface on the upper surface of the protective member 40 and the curved surface on the upper surface of the outer periphery of the recess can form one curved surface shape.

図2に示されるように、保護部材42の裏面44と凹部16の底面46との間は、所定の隙間間隔48が設けられる。この隙間間隔48は、保護部材42を通ってきた光が一旦外部へ出て、光反射性を有する底面46で反射され、光路の方向を太陽電池セル20の裏面側へ向かうようにするするための空間である。   As shown in FIG. 2, a predetermined gap interval 48 is provided between the back surface 44 of the protection member 42 and the bottom surface 46 of the recess 16. This gap interval 48 is used so that the light that has passed through the protective member 42 once exits and is reflected by the light-reflecting bottom surface 46 so that the direction of the optical path is directed toward the back surface side of the solar battery cell 20. Space.

図6に示されるように、外部からの光は、太陽電池パネル12における配線材22,24の間の隙間を通り、凹部16に抜けて、底面46で反射し、太陽電池セル20の裏面に導かれる。このように、太陽電池パネル12において、封止材36,38と保護部材40,42を透明とし、底面46が光反射性を有する面とすることで、太陽電池セル20の裏面側に光を導くことができ、太陽電池パネル12の発電効率を向上させることができる。   As shown in FIG. 6, the light from the outside passes through the gap between the wiring members 22 and 24 in the solar battery panel 12, passes through the recess 16, is reflected by the bottom face 46, and is reflected on the back face of the solar battery cell 20. Led. As described above, in the solar battery panel 12, the sealing materials 36 and 38 and the protection members 40 and 42 are transparent, and the bottom surface 46 is a light-reflective surface, so that light is transmitted to the back surface side of the solar battery cell 20. Thus, the power generation efficiency of the solar cell panel 12 can be improved.

上記構成の意匠性から見た作用効果を図4、図5を用いて説明する。図4は、太陽電池モジュール10を受光面側から見たときの太陽電池セル20の様子である。赤外線透過フィルタ30は、可視光の波長λVの光を吸収するので、赤外線透過フィルタ30に覆われた配線材22,24の金属色は視認されなくなる。視認されるのは、黒く見える赤外線透過フィルタ30と、太陽電池セル20である。したがって、黒地の太陽電池セル20の上に金属色の配線材22,24が見えることに比べ、意匠性が向上する。なお、赤外線透過フィルタ30の幅の部分は可視光が太陽電池セル20に照射されないので、太陽電池パネル12の発電効率はその分低下する。The effect seen from the design property of the said structure is demonstrated using FIG. 4, FIG. FIG. 4 shows a state of the solar battery cell 20 when the solar battery module 10 is viewed from the light receiving surface side. Since the infrared transmission filter 30 absorbs light having a wavelength λ V of visible light, the metal colors of the wiring members 22 and 24 covered with the infrared transmission filter 30 are not visually recognized. The infrared transmission filter 30 and the solar battery cell 20 that appear black are visible. Therefore, the design is improved as compared with the fact that the metal-colored wiring members 22 and 24 are visible on the black solar cell 20. In addition, since visible light is not irradiated to the photovoltaic cell 20 in the part of the width | variety of the infrared transmission filter 30, the electric power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 12 falls correspondingly.

図5は、波長領域が赤外線の波長λURの光が照射され、赤外線の波長領域の感度を有するカメラで仮想的に撮影した場合の見え方を説明した図で、ここでは、赤外線透過フィルタ30の透過率T=0.9であるので、実質的に赤外線透過フィルタ30が配置されない状態とほぼ同じである。図5では赤外線透過フィルタ30が現れず、配線材22,24が現れる。したがって、赤外線の波長λURの範囲の光についての太陽電池パネル12の発電効率は、赤外線透過フィルタ30がない場合に比べてほとんど低下しない。FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the appearance when the light having the wavelength region λ UR in the infrared region is irradiated and virtually taken by a camera having sensitivity in the infrared wavelength region. Here, the infrared transmission filter 30 is illustrated. Therefore, it is substantially the same as the state in which the infrared transmission filter 30 is not disposed. In FIG. 5, the infrared transmission filter 30 does not appear, and the wiring members 22 and 24 appear. Therefore, the power generation efficiency of the solar cell panel 12 with respect to light in the range of the infrared wavelength λ UR is hardly lowered as compared with the case where the infrared transmission filter 30 is not provided.

このように、赤外線透過フィルタ30を配線材22,24を覆い隠すように配置することで、意匠性の向上の要求を満たし、赤外線領域における発電効率を確保することで、太陽電池モジュール10の発電効率の低下を抑制することができる。赤外線透過フィルタ30の幅寸法を配線材22,24より大きく取ることにより、配線材22,24と赤外線透過フィルタ30との間の位置合わせの作業を容易に行うことができる。   As described above, the infrared transmission filter 30 is arranged so as to cover the wiring members 22 and 24, thereby satisfying the demand for improvement in design properties and ensuring the power generation efficiency in the infrared region, thereby generating power from the solar cell module 10. A decrease in efficiency can be suppressed. By setting the width dimension of the infrared transmission filter 30 to be larger than that of the wiring members 22 and 24, the alignment work between the wiring members 22 and 24 and the infrared transmission filter 30 can be easily performed.

上記では、金属色に見えるものとして配線材22,24を説明したが、光電変換部と配線材22,24との間には、導電ペースト等を用いて形成された接続用電極が設けられ、この接続用電極も金属色を有する。接続用電極は、後述するように、バスバー電極54とフィンガ電極56を含む。その場合、赤外線透過フィルタを太陽電池パネル12の全体に渡って配置することで、フィンガ電極の金属色も視認しにくくすることができる。   In the above description, the wiring members 22 and 24 are described as being visible in a metal color. However, a connection electrode formed using a conductive paste or the like is provided between the photoelectric conversion portion and the wiring members 22 and 24. This connection electrode also has a metallic color. The connection electrode includes a bus bar electrode 54 and a finger electrode 56 as described later. In that case, by disposing the infrared transmission filter over the entire solar cell panel 12, the metal color of the finger electrode can be made difficult to visually recognize.

図7に示す太陽電池モジュール50は、太陽電池セル20の光電変換部52の主面に、接続用電極として、バスバー電極54とフィンガ電極56が設けられる。バスバー電極54は、複数の太陽電池セル20を互いに接続するときに用いられ、配線材22,24が接着される。バスバー電極54に交差して配置される複数のフィンガ電極56は、受光面の全体から集電するときに遮光性を少なくするように、細線化した細線電極である。   In the solar cell module 50 shown in FIG. 7, a bus bar electrode 54 and a finger electrode 56 are provided as connection electrodes on the main surface of the photoelectric conversion unit 52 of the solar battery cell 20. The bus bar electrode 54 is used when connecting the plurality of solar battery cells 20 to each other, and the wiring members 22 and 24 are bonded to each other. The plurality of finger electrodes 56 arranged so as to intersect with the bus bar electrode 54 are thin line electrodes that are thinned so as to reduce the light shielding property when collecting electricity from the entire light receiving surface.

バスバー電極54とフィンガ電極56とは、図7の例では互いに直交して配置されて電気的に接続される。これらは、例えば、バインダ樹脂中に銀(Ag)等の導電性フィラーが分散された導電性ペーストを透明導電層の上に所望のパターンでスクリーン印刷法により形成される。バスバー電極54の幅寸法としては配線材22,24の幅寸法と同じかやや細めに設定される。したがって、太陽電池モジュール50を受光面側から見ると、配線材22,24で隠された部分のバスバー電極54の金属色は現れないが、フィンガ電極56の金属色は現れることになる。   In the example of FIG. 7, the bus bar electrode 54 and the finger electrode 56 are arranged orthogonally to each other and are electrically connected. For example, a conductive paste in which a conductive filler such as silver (Ag) is dispersed in a binder resin is formed on the transparent conductive layer in a desired pattern by a screen printing method. The width dimension of the bus bar electrode 54 is set to be the same as or slightly narrower than the width dimension of the wiring members 22 and 24. Therefore, when the solar cell module 50 is viewed from the light receiving surface side, the metal color of the bus bar electrode 54 hidden by the wiring members 22 and 24 does not appear, but the metal color of the finger electrode 56 appears.

図8は、配線材22,24、バスバー電極54、フィンガ電極56を含んで、太陽電池モジュール50の全体に渡って赤外線透過フィルタ58を配置した太陽電池モジュール60を示す図である。この太陽電池モジュール60は、受光面側から見ると、赤外線透過フィルタ58は黒く見えて、配線材22,24、バスバー電極54、フィンガ電極56のそれぞれの金属色は視認されない。   FIG. 8 is a view showing a solar cell module 60 including the wiring members 22, 24, the bus bar electrodes 54, and the finger electrodes 56, and the infrared transmission filter 58 is arranged over the entire solar cell module 50. In the solar cell module 60, when viewed from the light receiving surface side, the infrared transmission filter 58 looks black, and the metal colors of the wiring members 22, 24, the bus bar electrode 54, and the finger electrode 56 are not visually recognized.

図9は、車体14が白色(W)の車両8に、図8の太陽電池モジュール60を搭載した様子を示す図である。車体14のルーフ部の凹部16に太陽電池モジュール60が嵌め込まれ、太陽電池パネル12の配線材22,24、バスバー電極54、フィンガ電極56の金属色が赤外線透過フィルタ58によって覆い隠される。このように、白色(W)の車体において、ルーフ部の全体が黒く視認され、意匠性の向上の要求を満たしつつ、太陽電池モジュール60の発電効率の低下を抑制することができる。   FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the solar cell module 60 of FIG. 8 is mounted on a vehicle 8 whose body 14 is white (W). The solar cell module 60 is fitted into the concave portion 16 of the roof portion of the vehicle body 14, and the metal colors of the wiring members 22, 24, the bus bar electrode 54, and the finger electrode 56 of the solar cell panel 12 are covered by the infrared transmission filter 58. As described above, in the white (W) vehicle body, the entire roof portion is visually recognized as black, and the reduction in power generation efficiency of the solar cell module 60 can be suppressed while satisfying the demand for improvement in design.

図10は、車体14が黒色(K)の車両8に、図8の太陽電池モジュール60を搭載した様子を示す図である。この場合には、車体14のルーフ部の凹部16に嵌め込まれた太陽電池モジュール60と車体14の色と同色で、あたかも車体14と一体化したように視認される。このように、太陽電池モジュール60を搭載した車体14の意匠性をさらに向上させつつ、太陽電池モジュール60の発電効率の低下を抑制することができる。   FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state in which the solar cell module 60 of FIG. 8 is mounted on a vehicle 8 with the vehicle body 14 being black (K). In this case, the solar cell module 60 fitted in the recess 16 in the roof portion of the vehicle body 14 is visually the same color as the color of the vehicle body 14 as if it were integrated with the vehicle body 14. In this way, it is possible to suppress the decrease in power generation efficiency of the solar cell module 60 while further improving the design of the vehicle body 14 on which the solar cell module 60 is mounted.

このように、少なくとも配線材を覆う広さで赤外線透過フィルタを配置した太陽電池モジュールを車両に搭載することで、車両の意匠性の向上の要求を満たしつつ、太陽電池モジュール60の発電効率の低下を抑制することができる。また、両面発電型の太陽電池セルを用い、太陽電池パネルにおいて、封止材と保護部材を無色透明とし、裏面側の保護部材に向かい合う面を光反射性を有するものとすることで、太陽電池セルの裏面側に光を導くことができ、太陽電池パネルの発電効率を向上させることができる。   As described above, by mounting the solar cell module in which the infrared transmission filter is disposed at a size covering at least the wiring material on the vehicle, the power generation efficiency of the solar cell module 60 is reduced while satisfying the requirement for improving the design of the vehicle. Can be suppressed. Further, by using a double-sided power generation type solar battery cell, in the solar battery panel, the sealing material and the protective member are colorless and transparent, and the surface facing the protective member on the back side has light reflectivity, so that the solar battery Light can be guided to the back side of the cell, and the power generation efficiency of the solar cell panel can be improved.

上記では、太陽電池パネル12が車体14の凹部16に嵌め込まれるものとしたが、これ以外に、車体14の外側に太陽電池パネル12を取り付けるものとしてもよい。例えば、車体14のルーフ部から浮かせて取り付けてもよい。その場合には、太陽電池パネル12を車体14に取り付けるためにフレーム部を用いる。フレーム部は、図2の車体14に対応するもので、凹部16を有し、その底面46が光反射性を有する。そして、フレーム部と太陽電池パネル12との間に、保持部材18が配置される。すなわち、フレーム部は、車両8の車体14とは別体の部品であるが、その構成は、図2の車体14と同様であって、上記の説明の車体14をそのままフレーム部と置き換えることができる。   In the above description, the solar cell panel 12 is fitted into the recess 16 of the vehicle body 14, but the solar cell panel 12 may be attached to the outside of the vehicle body 14 in addition to this. For example, you may float and attach from the roof part of the vehicle body 14. FIG. In that case, a frame portion is used to attach the solar cell panel 12 to the vehicle body 14. The frame portion corresponds to the vehicle body 14 in FIG. 2, has a recess 16, and its bottom surface 46 has light reflectivity. A holding member 18 is disposed between the frame portion and the solar cell panel 12. That is, the frame portion is a separate component from the vehicle body 14 of the vehicle 8, but the configuration is the same as that of the vehicle body 14 of FIG. 2, and the vehicle body 14 described above can be replaced with the frame portion as it is. it can.

なお、上記の実施の形態では、両面発電型の太陽電池モジュール10を用いた例を説明したが、本発明は両面発電型の太陽電池モジュール10に限定されない。図11は、変形例として、片面発電型の太陽電池モジュール10を用いた例を示す。図2に示す太陽電池モジュール10と重複する説明は省略し、異なる部分のみ説明する。   In the above embodiment, the example using the double-sided power generation type solar cell module 10 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the double-sided power generation type solar cell module 10. FIG. 11 shows an example using a single-sided power generation type solar cell module 10 as a modification. The description which overlaps with the solar cell module 10 shown in FIG. 2 is omitted, and only different portions will be described.

図11に示されるように、太陽電池モジュール10は、太陽電池パネル12と、太陽電池パネル12を車体14の凹部76の底面にて接着する接着部材78を含んで構成される。   As shown in FIG. 11, the solar cell module 10 includes a solar cell panel 12 and an adhesive member 78 that adheres the solar cell panel 12 to the bottom surface of the recess 76 of the vehicle body 14.

受光面側の封止材36、裏面側の封止材38および裏面側の保護部材42は、受光面側の保護部材40よりも小さい面積となるように設けられる。したがって、受光面側の保護部材40の周縁部において、受光面側の保護部材40の裏面が露出する。   The light receiving surface side sealing material 36, the back surface side sealing material 38, and the back surface side protection member 42 are provided to have a smaller area than the light receiving surface side protection member 40. Therefore, the back surface of the protection member 40 on the light receiving surface side is exposed at the peripheral edge of the protection member 40 on the light receiving surface side.

車体74に設けられる凹部76は、太陽電池パネル12を嵌め込む収納部である。凹部76は、太陽電池パネル12を嵌め込むために、車体14のルーフ部の外板の外表面をくぼませた部分であり、その底面に開口を有する。凹部76は、太陽電池パネル12の保護部材40の裏面の周縁部を支持する。なお、車体74と太陽電池パネル12との間の空隙には、例えば樹脂材料(図示を省略)を充填してもよい。   The recess 76 provided in the vehicle body 74 is a storage portion into which the solar cell panel 12 is fitted. The recessed portion 76 is a portion where the outer surface of the outer plate of the roof portion of the vehicle body 14 is recessed in order to fit the solar cell panel 12, and has an opening on the bottom surface. The recess 76 supports the peripheral edge of the back surface of the protection member 40 of the solar cell panel 12. The gap between the vehicle body 74 and the solar cell panel 12 may be filled with, for example, a resin material (not shown).

接着部材78は、車体74の凹部76に太陽電池パネル12を嵌め込んで接着するための樹脂接着剤である。接着部材78は、凹部76のくぼみ底面の上面に配置され、太陽電池パネル12の保護部材40の裏面に接着される。接着部材78としては、例えば、ウレタン系樹脂を用いることができる。太陽電池パネル12に接続される配線(図示を省略)は、凹部76の開口から車体74の内部に取り込まれる。   The adhesive member 78 is a resin adhesive for fitting the solar cell panel 12 into the concave portion 76 of the vehicle body 74 for adhesion. The adhesive member 78 is disposed on the upper surface of the bottom surface of the recess 76 and is adhered to the back surface of the protection member 40 of the solar cell panel 12. As the adhesive member 78, for example, urethane resin can be used. Wiring (not shown) connected to the solar cell panel 12 is taken into the vehicle body 74 from the opening of the recess 76.

図11に示されるような太陽電池モジュール10とする場合、裏面側の保護部材42は、裏面側の封止材38を通ってきた光を裏面側の外部に出す必要がない。よって、裏面側の保護部材42としては、PETシートを用いてもよいし、2枚以上の樹脂シートの積層体でもよい。例えば、裏面側の保護部材42は、2枚のPVFシートの間にPETシートまたはAlシートを挟んだ積層体、2枚のPETシートの間にAlシートを挟んだ積層体とすることができる。   In the case of the solar cell module 10 as shown in FIG. 11, the protection member 42 on the back surface side does not need to emit light that has passed through the sealing material 38 on the back surface side to the outside. Therefore, as the protective member 42 on the back surface side, a PET sheet may be used, or a laminate of two or more resin sheets may be used. For example, the protective member 42 on the back surface side can be a laminate in which a PET sheet or an Al sheet is sandwiched between two PVF sheets, and a laminate in which an Al sheet is sandwiched between two PET sheets.

実施の形態及び変形例では、配線材22,24または接続用電極を覆うように赤外線透過フィルタ30を配置する構成としたが、本発明はこれらの構成に限定されない。例えば、太陽電池セル20が設けられない領域を覆うように赤外線透過フィルタ30を配置してもよい。太陽電池セル20が設けられない領域が肉眼では視認されにくくなり、搭載対象物の意匠性を向上させることができる。   In the embodiment and the modification, the infrared transmission filter 30 is disposed so as to cover the wiring members 22 and 24 or the connection electrodes, but the present invention is not limited to these configurations. For example, you may arrange | position the infrared rays transmissive filter 30 so that the area | region where the photovoltaic cell 20 may not be provided may be covered. The region where the solar battery cell 20 is not provided is less visible with the naked eye, and the design of the mounted object can be improved.
