Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a solar cell module and a method of manufacturing the same. This application claims priority based on (4) Li 1 18337, which was filed in Japan on May 24, 2010. The contents are hereby incorporated. [Prior Art] From the viewpoint of effective use of the source of the moon, the solar cells have been widely used in recent years. For example, using the solar cell of Shi Xi single crystal, the energy conversion efficiency per unit area is excellent. However, the use of the solar cell of Shi Xi single crystal uses a wafer in which a single crystal ingot is sliced, so that the production of the ingot requires a large amount of energy, and the manufacturing cost is high. In particular, it is expensive to use a large-area solar cell installed outside the house by Shi Xi single crystal. On the other hand, a solar cell using an amorphous (non-crystalline) stone film which can be manufactured at a lower price is being popular as a low-cost solar cell. The amorphous germanium solar cell uses a layered semiconductor film called a coffee junction which is formed by electrons and electric holes (4) when light is received, and which is sandwiched between a p-type and a smectite film. The amorphous 7 solar cell has a structure in which electrodes are formed on both surfaces of the semiconductor film. The electrons and holes that receive the light are moved in the direction by the potential difference of the p-type n-type semiconductor, and this continuous repetition produces a potential difference between the two sides of the half (four) film. For example, the electric solar cell has a TCG (transparent conductive oxide) (four) bright electrode portion electrode formed on the surface of the smooth surface side 4, and a semiconducting layer containing amorphous chopping is formed on the lower electrode, 156461.doc 201203577 The film is composed of an Ag film formed as an upper electrode. In such an amorphous solar cell having a photoelectric conversion body including an upper electrode and a semiconductor film, the potential difference is small and resistance (4) is applied only by uniformly forming a film on a large area on a substrate. Therefore, for example, the zoning elements which electrically align the photoelectric conversion body to a specific size are formed, and the contiguous elements adjacent to each other are electrically connected to each other. Specifically, on the photoelectric conversion body which is uniformly formed on a large area on a substrate, a groove called a scribe line is formed by laser light or the like, and a plurality of short strip-shaped sections are formed, and the element is electrically connected in series with each other. connection. Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing a schematic configuration of a prior solar battery module 101. As shown in Fig. 12, the conventional general solar battery module ι〇ι is provided in the surface-shielded protective cover 13G of the solar battery 11G. The protective cover 13 is made of glass or a fluorine resin film. The protective cover 13 is joined to the solar cell via a sealing material 131 such as eva (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer). Further, a protective case 14 is provided on the cover 130. The I output wiring 141 is connected to the protective case 14A. The protective case 14 () is provided in such a manner as to cover the end portion of the take-out electrode (not shown in Fig. 12) for taking out the electricity generated by the solar battery pack 110. The output wiring 141 is electrically connected to the take-out electrode in the protective case 140 (for example, refer to Patent Document U. Fig. 13 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the line χι〇ι-χι〇2 of Fig. 12. As shown in Fig. 13 - No, the sun The battery 110 includes a transparent glass substrate 111 and a photoelectric conversion body 112 formed on one surface of the glass substrate ill. The photoelectric conversion body 112 includes a plurality of short strip-shaped partition elements as described above, and photoelectric conversion is disposed on the photoelectric conversion body 112. The collector electrode 12 电 is generated by the body 112. The collector electrode 120 is disposed along one of the opposite sides of the solar cell 110, and is respectively provided with a collector electric power I56461.doc 201203577 The pole 120 is connected to the photoelectric conversion body 112. The extraction electrode 121 is supplied to the outside. The extraction electrode 121 is disposed on the photoelectric conversion body ι 2. The one end 121 a of the extraction electrode 121 is electrically connected to the collector electrode 12 , and is further connected between the photoelectric conversion body 112 and the extraction electrode 121 . The insulating sheet 122 is disposed so as to overlap the solar cell ι, the collector electrode 120, and the take-out electrode 121 via the sealing member 131. Further, the cover η is formed. The opening 130a is formed thereon. The other end 121b of the extraction electrode 121 extends through the opening 13 〇a, and the extraction electrode ΐ2 is electrically connected to the output wiring 141. The protective case 丨4〇 is fixed. The member 142 is fixed to the protective cover 13A. Further, the protective member 14 is filled with the filling material 143. The fixing member 142 and the filling material 143 are generally made of a sealant resin. The post-sealing resin is generally water. The vapor permeability is large, that is, the water vapor barrier property is low. Therefore, the water vapor in the outside atmosphere reaches the opening portion 130a through the fixing member 142 and the filler 143, and the sealing material 13 near the opening portion 13a may be formed. When the sealing material 13 is deteriorated, for example, the sealing function of the photoelectric conversion body 11 2 is lost, and the photoelectric conversion body 112 is deteriorated or corroded by the influence of water vapor or the like, and a solar cell may be generated.
