The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention in the drawings, portions not related to the description are omitted, and like reference numerals are given to similar portions throughout the specification.
In the drawings, the thickness is enlarged to clearly represent the layers and regions. When a layer, film, region, plate, or the like is referred to as being "on" another portion, it includes not only the case directly above another portion but also the case where there is another portion in between. Conversely, when a part is "directly over" another part, it means that there is no other part in the middle.
Next, a solar cell module according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the above, the front electrode current collector and the rear electrode current collector have been described as an example of a double-sided light-receiving solar cell in which the current collectors are located on different surfaces of the substrate. It is apparent that the rear junction solar cell positioned and the rear electrode positioned at the rear side of the substrate are within the scope of the present invention are located in the entire rear region of the substrate except for the region where the rear electrode current collector is formed.

Here, the size of the connection area or the overlap area refers to the above-mentioned length L1 and / or planar area A1.
In the graph of FIG. 6, the X axis represents the connection area of the
Referring to FIG. 6, the maximum voltage Pmax measured by the solar cell is equal to the case where the value of the ratio is 1 when the value of the ratio L1 / L of the length or the ratio A1 / A of the plane area is 0.872 or more. It is the same, it can be seen that the maximum voltage is the largest when the ratio value is 0.872 or more. When the value of the ratio L1 / L of the length or the ratio A1 / A of the plane area is lower than 0.872, it can be seen that the maximum voltage decreases as the value of the ratio decreases.
Therefore, it is preferable to connect the
However, it is not easy to design exactly so that the value of the ratio of length (L1 / L) or the ratio of plane (A1 / A) is 0.872, so in view of the alignment error, the ratio of length (L1 / L) or plane The
Therefore, the
In addition, since the length of the interconnector can be reduced while obtaining the maximum measurement voltage having the same magnitude as that of connecting the interconnector to the entire length of the current collector, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It belongs to the scope of right.
