However, since high temperature is required for the solder connection, cracking or bending of the panel on the light receiving surface, shot due to solder pushed out (leaking) from the tap line, and the like have been caused.

Therefore, a conductive adhesive has been used as a connection material in place of solder. For example, a solar cell module has been proposed in which a surface electrode of a solar cell and a tab line are connected via a conductive adhesive (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).

However, the technology of this proposal has a problem that it is difficult to achieve both high adhesiveness of the solar cell and the tab line and high connection reliability.

Therefore, it is desired to provide a conductive adhesive for solar cell, a solar cell module using the conductive adhesive for solar cell, and a manufacturing method thereof, which can both achieve high adhesiveness of a solar cell and a tap line and high connection reliability It is a situation.

The silver-coated copper powder may be such that the entire surface of the copper powder is coated with silver, or a part of the surface of the copper powder is coated with silver. It is preferable that the silver coating is not omnipresent over the whole surface of the copper powder while exposing the surface of the copper powder more than the silver is localized on a part of the surface of the copper powder. By coating without being ubiquitous, a silver-coated copper powder having uniform conductivity can be obtained. In this case, the coated silver is in a state of being attached to the surface of the copper powder in the form of a point shape, a mesh shape, or the like.

The particle size of the copper powder is not particularly limited and may be appropriately selected depending on the purpose.

[1] A method of precipitating metal silver on the surface of metallic copper powder using a silver complex salt solution of silver nitrate, ammonium carbonate salt and trisodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (see, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-59283 Reference).

[2] A method of precipitating metal silver on the surface of a metal copper powder by using a silver complex salt solution of silver nitrate, ammonia water, and EDTA (see, for example, JP-A-61-3802).

[3] A method in which copper powder is dispersed in a chelating agent solution, a silver ion solution is added to the dispersion to promote the reduction reaction, and a reducing agent is further added to completely precipitate the copper powder to precipitate a silver coating on the surface of the copper powder See, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 1-119602).

[4] A method of coating silver on the surface of copper particles by a substitution reaction of silver ions and metallic copper in a solution containing silver ions in an organic solvent (see, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-161081) .

[5] The copper powder processed in the form of a flake is heat treated to oxidize the surface of the copper powder. Then, the copper powder is subjected to removal and washing with water of the surface of the copper powder in the alkaline solution, And then a reducing agent is added to the acid solution in which the copper powder is dispersed to adjust the pH to prepare a copper powder slurry.
