As shown in FIG. 1, the solar cell module 10 includes a light transmissive substrate 1 that is transparent to light, and is positioned outside the light transmissive substrate 1, and light incident on the light transmissive substrate 1 is transmitted through the side. a surface sealing material 2 at a position; a photovoltaic element 3 positioned on the opposite side of the side opposite to the side of the light-transmitting substrate 1 with respect to the surface sealing material 2; and a position opposite to the side of the surface sealing material 2 with respect to the photovoltaic element 3 The inner seal member 4 on the side; the back sheet 5 on the side opposite to the side on which the photovoltaic element 3 is located, based on the inner seal member 4. That is, the solar cell module 10 is a laminated body in which the light-transmitting substrate 1, the surface sealing material 2, the photovoltaic element 3, the inner sealing material 4, and the backing plate 5 are sequentially laminated.

光穿透性基板1為玻璃基板。光穿透性基板1只要具有光可穿透的功能者即可,並不限於玻璃基板。光穿透性基板1亦可為光可穿透的樹脂板。太陽光入射到光穿透性基板1的表面,入射的光穿透光穿透性基板1及表面密封材2到達光伏元件3,在光伏元件3中將光能量轉換成電力。 The light transmissive substrate 1 is a glass substrate. The light-transmitting substrate 1 is not limited to a glass substrate as long as it has a function of light transmissibility. The light transmissive substrate 1 may also be a light transmissive resin plate. The sunlight is incident on the surface of the light-transmitting substrate 1, and the incident light penetrates the light-transmitting substrate 1 and the surface sealing material 2 to reach the photovoltaic element 3, and the light energy is converted into electric power in the photovoltaic element 3.

表面密封材2由烯烴系樹脂所構成。烯烴系樹脂例如為聚丙烯(polypropylene)樹脂或聚乙烯樹脂。具體而言,表面密封材2為由不產生酸的聚烯烴(polyolefin)系樹脂中添加矽烷耦合(silane coupling)劑及交聯劑之具有透光性的熱硬化性樹脂所構成的複數層薄板(sheet)的積層體。聚烯烴系樹脂亦可由不產生酸的光穿透性樹脂置換。聚烯烴系樹脂亦可置換為聚丙烯樹脂或聚碳酸酯聚氨酯(polycarbonate polyurethane)系樹脂。 The surface sealing material 2 is composed of an olefin resin. The olefin resin is, for example, a polypropylene resin or a polyethylene resin. Specifically, the surface sealing material 2 is a multi-layered sheet made of a translucent thermosetting resin obtained by adding a silane coupling agent and a crosslinking agent to a polyolefin-based resin which does not generate an acid. The laminar body of (sheet). The polyolefin resin may be replaced by a light penetrating resin that does not generate an acid. The polyolefin resin may be replaced by a polypropylene resin or a polycarbonate polyurethane resin.

構成表面密封材2的烯烴系樹脂,以添加部份或全部用以提升耐候性、強度及接著性的交聯劑者為佳。接著性意 指光穿透性基板1與表面密封材2之間的接著性,表面密封材2與光伏元件3之間的接著性。交聯的方法,例如藉由熱生成自由基(radical)的方法。再者,構成表面密封材2的烯烴系樹脂,以添加有用以提升耐光性的紫外線吸收劑者為佳。為了提升太陽電池模組10的輸出,以紫外線吸收劑的添加量少為佳。 The olefin-based resin constituting the surface sealing material 2 is preferably added to a part or all of a crosslinking agent for improving weather resistance, strength, and adhesion. Follow-up It refers to the adhesion between the light-transmitting substrate 1 and the surface sealing material 2, and the adhesion between the surface sealing material 2 and the photovoltaic element 3. A method of crosslinking, for example, a method of generating radicals by heat. Further, the olefin-based resin constituting the surface sealing material 2 is preferably added with an ultraviolet absorber which is useful for improving light resistance. In order to increase the output of the solar cell module 10, it is preferable to use a small amount of the ultraviolet absorber.

光伏元件3具有構成電極的構成中玻璃成分除外的成分,含有莫耳比75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁的受光面側電極31。受光面側電極31由金屬粒子與玻璃所構成。上述成分比為構成受光面側電極31的成分中玻璃成分除外時,銀與鋁的成分比。雖然,光伏元件3亦具有裡面側電極32,光伏元件3的構造,裡面側電極32莫耳比未必要含有75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁。光伏元件3經由受光面側電極31與裡面側電極32將電力取出的方式構成。太陽電池模組10,受光面側電極31由複數個光伏元件3所構成,複數個光伏元件3的電極以焊料電性連接。如此一來,可使用焊料用以連接光伏元件3中所含的複數個電極。例如可使用熔點為219℃的Sn-Ag-Cu系合金的焊料、或熔點為183℃的Pb-Sn系合金的焊料。 The photovoltaic element 3 has a component other than the glass component in the configuration constituting the electrode, and includes a light-receiving surface side electrode 31 having a molar ratio of 75% or more and 0.001% or more and 25% or less of aluminum. The light-receiving surface side electrode 31 is composed of metal particles and glass. When the component ratio is excluded from the glass component of the component constituting the light-receiving surface side electrode 31, the composition ratio of silver to aluminum. Although the photovoltaic element 3 also has the inner side electrode 32 and the structure of the photovoltaic element 3, the inner side electrode 32 molar ratio does not necessarily contain 75% or more of silver and 0.001% or more and 25% or less of aluminum. The photovoltaic element 3 is configured to take out electric power via the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 and the back side electrode 32. In the solar cell module 10, the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 is composed of a plurality of photovoltaic elements 3, and the electrodes of the plurality of photovoltaic elements 3 are electrically connected by solder. In this way, solder can be used to connect the plurality of electrodes contained in the photovoltaic element 3. For example, a solder of a Sn-Ag-Cu alloy having a melting point of 219 ° C or a solder of a Pb—Sn alloy having a melting point of 183 ° C can be used.

且,作為構成受光面側電極31的材料,銀與鋁以外,亦可部份或全部含有Cu、Au、Pt、Fe、Pd、Mn、Mo、S、C、O、N、P、Ni、Cr、Co、Zn、Sn、Pb、Si、W、Mg、Ti、Sc、In、Sb、Te、Cd、Se、Ir、K、Li、Na及P的雜質。本發明即使在含有上述雜質的情況,受光面側電極31亦包含莫耳比75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁。 Further, as a material constituting the light-receiving surface side electrode 31, in addition to silver and aluminum, Cu, Au, Pt, Fe, Pd, Mn, Mo, S, C, O, N, P, Ni may be partially or wholly contained. Impurities of Cr, Co, Zn, Sn, Pb, Si, W, Mg, Ti, Sc, In, Sb, Te, Cd, Se, Ir, K, Li, Na, and P. In the present invention, even when the impurities are contained, the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 contains silver having a molar ratio of 75% or more and aluminum of 0.001% or more and 25% or less.

承上述,光伏元件3具有包含莫耳比75%以上的 銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁的受光面側電極。以下,說明受光面側電極31中所含銀與鋁的比例。由於相對於銀的標準單極電位為+0.799V,鋁的標準單極電位為-1.676V,故鋁較銀更易於氧化。由於受光面側電極31含有鋁,可抑制受光面側電極31所含銀的氧化,因此,受光面側電極31的電阻不易上昇。故,受光面側電極31以含有鋁為佳。 In view of the above, the photovoltaic element 3 has a molar ratio of more than 75%. Silver, 0.001% or more and 25% or less of the light-receiving surface side electrode of aluminum. Hereinafter, the ratio of silver to aluminum contained in the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 will be described. Since the standard unipolar potential relative to silver is +0.799V and the standard unipolar potential of aluminum is -1.676V, aluminum is more susceptible to oxidation than silver. Since the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 contains aluminum, oxidation of silver contained in the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 can be suppressed, and therefore the electric resistance of the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 does not easily increase. Therefore, it is preferable that the light-receiving side electrode 31 contains aluminum.

接著,說明鋁的含有比。不含鋁的受光面側電極,亦即單獨由銀所構成的受光面側電極發生劣化為止所需的時間,若受光面側電極的劣化延遲,則太陽電池模組的可靠性變高。由於銀為+1價,鋁為+3價,當受光面側電極中鋁的含有率為莫耳比超過全部的1/4倍時,難以確保銀的導電率。因此,當由比銀的標準單極電位更低的鋁與銀構成受光面側電極31時,以銀較標準單極電位低的鋁的價成為數倍以上,亦即成為鋁的3倍以上,同時,標準單極電位低的鋁成為銀的價數倍以下,亦即成為銀的1倍以下為較佳。此外,當鋁的量為莫耳比少與0.001%時,抑制受光面側電極31所含的銀的氧化的效果變弱。亦即,光伏元件3中包含的受光面側電極31,以包含莫耳比75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁為較佳。 Next, the content ratio of aluminum will be described. The light-receiving surface side electrode which does not contain aluminum, that is, the time required for deterioration of the light-receiving surface side electrode made of silver alone, is delayed, and the reliability of the solar cell module is increased when the deterioration of the light-receiving side electrode is delayed. Since silver is +1 valence and aluminum is +3 valence, when the content ratio of aluminum in the light-receiving side electrode is more than 1/4 times the total molar ratio, it is difficult to ensure the conductivity of silver. Therefore, when the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 is composed of aluminum and silver which are lower than the standard unipolar potential of silver, the price of aluminum which is lower than the standard unipolar potential is several times or more, that is, three times or more of that of aluminum. At the same time, aluminum having a low standard unipolar potential is less than a valence of silver, that is, preferably 1 or less of silver. In addition, when the amount of aluminum is less than 0.001%, the effect of suppressing oxidation of silver contained in the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 is weak. In other words, the light-receiving surface side electrode 31 included in the photovoltaic element 3 preferably contains silver having a molar ratio of 75% or more and aluminum of 0.001% or more and 25% or less.

構成光伏元件3的太陽電池單元,例如可使用結晶系太陽電池的太陽電池單元。結晶系太陽電池單元,例如為單結晶矽(silicon)太陽電池單元或多結晶矽太陽電池單元。結晶系太陽電池單元並不限於單結晶矽太陽電池單元或多結晶矽太陽電池單元。 As the solar cell constituting the photovoltaic element 3, for example, a solar cell of a crystalline solar cell can be used. The crystalline solar cell unit is, for example, a single crystal solar cell or a polycrystalline halo cell. The crystalline solar cell unit is not limited to a single crystal germanium solar cell or a polycrystalline germanium solar cell.

裡面密封材4由烯烴系樹脂所構成。烯烴系樹脂 例如為聚丙烯樹脂或聚乙烯樹脂。裡面密封材4以白色為佳。裡面密封材4以白色為佳的理由,係穿透光穿透性基板1、表面密封材2及光伏元件3進而到達裡面密封材4的光大部分不會被白色的裡面密封材4所吸收而是被白色的裡面密封材4所反射而返回光伏元件3,因此,穿透光伏元件3的光大多不會被浪費而能有效地利用,甚至可提高發電效率。 The inner seal member 4 is composed of an olefin resin. Olefin resin For example, it is a polypropylene resin or a polyethylene resin. The inner sealing material 4 is preferably white. The inside of the sealing material 4 is preferably white, and most of the light that penetrates the light-transmitting substrate 1, the surface sealing material 2, and the photovoltaic element 3 and then reaches the inner sealing material 4 is not absorbed by the white inner sealing material 4. It is reflected by the white inner sealing material 4 and returned to the photovoltaic element 3. Therefore, most of the light penetrating the photovoltaic element 3 is not wasted and can be effectively utilized, and the power generation efficiency can be improved.

背板5為由聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(polyethylene terephthalate)樹脂(PET)、經蒸鍍有二氧化矽(silica)的PET或鋁箔、聚氟乙烯(polyvinyl fluoride)(PVF)等的部分或全部所構成之複數的膜(film)經積層並一體化的構成元件。換言之,複數的膜分別為由聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯樹脂、蒸鍍有二氧化矽的PET或鋁箔、聚氟乙烯等部分或全部所構成,配合設計可單獨使用該等中任一者或將其組合使用。背板5具有保護光伏元件3免於濕氣的機能。且,為了避免水分穿透至太陽電池模組內部,蒸鍍有二氧化矽的PET或鋁箔為必要。背板與裡面密封材4連接的面具有高密著性,牢固地密著於裡面密封材4。構成背板5的複數個膜當中最外側者,以由耐候性高的樹脂所構成的膜為較佳。 The back sheet 5 is a portion made of polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET), PET or aluminum foil vapor-deposited silica, or polyvinyl fluoride (PVF). Or a constituent film in which all of the plurality of films are laminated and integrated. In other words, the plurality of films are composed of polyethylene terephthalate resin, PET or aluminum foil vapor-deposited ruthenium oxide, or some or all of polyvinyl fluoride, and the design can be used alone. Or use them in combination. The backing plate 5 has a function of protecting the photovoltaic element 3 from moisture. Moreover, in order to prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the solar cell module, PET or aluminum foil which is vapor-deposited with cerium oxide is necessary. The surface to which the backing plate and the inner sealing material 4 are joined has high adhesion and is firmly adhered to the inner sealing material 4. Among the plurality of films constituting the back sheet 5, a film made of a resin having high weather resistance is preferable.

由於實施形態1的太陽電池模組10具有由不產生酸的烯烴系樹脂所構成的表面密封材2及裡面密封材4、牢固密著於裡面密封材4的背板5,即使不使用過去太陽電池模組的密封材中所用的還原劑,可長期確保太陽電池模組10的可靠性,未必需要使用還原劑,故能以低成本製造。再者,太陽電池模組10,由於光伏元件3具有含有莫耳比75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁的受光面側電極31,確保構成受光 面側電極31的銀的導電率的同時,可抑制銀的氧化。因此,可長期確保太陽電池模組10的可靠性,同時,可抑制高價的銀的使用量,故能以低成本製造。 The solar cell module 10 of the first embodiment has the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 which are made of an olefin resin which does not generate an acid, and the back sheet 5 which is firmly adhered to the inner sealing material 4, even if the sun is not used. The reducing agent used in the sealing material of the battery module can ensure the reliability of the solar cell module 10 for a long period of time, and it is not necessary to use a reducing agent, so that it can be manufactured at low cost. In the solar cell module 10, the photovoltaic element 3 has a light-receiving surface side electrode 31 containing silver having a molar ratio of 75% or more and 0.001% or more and 25% or less of aluminum, thereby ensuring light reception. The conductivity of silver of the surface side electrode 31 can suppress oxidation of silver. Therefore, the reliability of the solar cell module 10 can be ensured for a long period of time, and at the same time, the amount of expensive silver can be suppressed, so that it can be manufactured at low cost.

實施形態1的光伏元件3的裡面側電極32,以使用莫耳比75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁的電極為佳,然而,未必一定要使用。此外,裡面密封材4以烯烴系樹脂為佳,然而,未必非烯烴系樹脂不可。例如,裡面密封材4使用乙烯醋酸乙烯酯共聚物亦可。雖然引起銀氧化的原因為醋酸,然而,需經由加上光、水及熱才會發生,即使在裡面側有容易產生醋酸的乙烯醋酸乙烯酯共聚物,光伏元件3的裡面不易有紫外線入射,因此不會產生醋酸,也不易引起銀的氧化。 The back side electrode 32 of the photovoltaic element 3 of the first embodiment is preferably an electrode having a molar ratio of 75% or more and 0.001% or more and 25% or less of aluminum, but it is not necessarily used. Further, the inner seal member 4 is preferably an olefin resin, but it is not necessarily non-olefin resin. For example, the inner seal member 4 may be an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. Although the cause of silver oxidation is acetic acid, it needs to be added by light, water and heat. Even if there is an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer which is easy to produce acetic acid on the inner side, ultraviolet light is not easily incident on the inside of the photovoltaic element 3. Therefore, acetic acid is not generated, and oxidation of silver is not easily caused.

The cooling conveyor belt 103 has a transport conveyor belt 131 and a plurality of rollers 132. The cooling conveyor belt 103 can also be composed of a transport plate and a chain.

第2圖所示的積層裝置施行積層加壓步驟,然而,積層加壓步驟大致分成兩種方法。第一種方法包含:藉由將光穿透性基板1、表面密封材2、光伏元件3、裡面密封材4及背板5加熱及加壓而一體化,形成積層構造體10S的積層步驟;將所形成的積層構造體10S放入退火(curing)爐(圖未繪示),亦即烤箱(oven)加熱,使表面密封材2及裡面密封材4交聯的交聯步驟。第二種方法為在進行將光穿透性基板1、表面密封材2、光伏元件3、裡面密封材4及背板5加熱及加壓而一體化,形成積層構造體10S的積層步驟時,持續加熱表面密封材2及裡面密封材4,使表面密封材2及裡面密封材4交聯的方法。 The laminating apparatus shown in Fig. 2 performs a lamination pressurization step, however, the laminating pressurization step is roughly divided into two methods. The first method includes: integrating the light-transmitting substrate 1, the surface sealing material 2, the photovoltaic element 3, the inner sealing material 4, and the backing plate 5 by heating and pressurizing, thereby forming a lamination step of the laminated structure 10S; The formed laminated structure 10S is placed in a curing furnace (not shown), that is, an oven to heat the cross-linking step of crosslinking the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4. In the second method, when the light-transmitting substrate 1, the surface sealing material 2, the photovoltaic element 3, the inner sealing material 4, and the backing plate 5 are heated and pressurized to be integrated, and a laminated step of forming the laminated structure 10S is performed, A method of continuously heating the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 to crosslink the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4.

Fig. 5 is a view showing the relationship between the heating time and the temperature of the sealing material in the crosslinking step of the lamination step of the lamination step and the crosslinking step, respectively. Fig. 6 is a view showing the relationship between the heating time and the temperature of the sealing material in the lamination pressurization step of the lamination step and the cross-linking step. Figures 4 and 5 correspond to the first method, and Figure 6 corresponds to the second method.

一般而言,由烯烴系樹脂所構成的密封材較由乙 烯醋酸乙烯酯共聚物樹脂所構成的密封材有更高的彈性,進行積層加壓步驟時的溫度控制(control)相當重要。為了抑制光伏元件3的破損(稱作單元破裂)及密封材中氣泡的產生,積層加壓步驟在較表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的熔點低20℃的溫度以上的溫度施行。 In general, a sealing material composed of an olefin resin is more The sealing material composed of the vinyl acetate copolymer resin has higher elasticity, and temperature control during the lamination pressurization step is quite important. In order to suppress breakage of the photovoltaic element 3 (referred to as cell rupture) and generation of bubbles in the sealing material, the laminated pressurization step is performed at a temperature higher than a temperature lower than the melting point of the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 by 20 ° C.

在低於表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的熔點20℃的溫度以上且在表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的熔點以下的溫度範圍內加壓,可抑制來自表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的氣體(gas)的產生,獲得外觀良好的太陽電池模組10,且可減少能量耗費量。在未達較表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的熔點低20℃的溫度加壓時,表面密封材2及裡面密封材4中有氣泡進入,太陽電池模組10的耐濕性、可靠性及外觀品質低落的可能性變高。此外,加壓時單元破裂亦顯著增加。 Pressurization in a temperature range of not less than 20 ° C of the melting point of the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 and below the melting point of the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 can suppress sealing from the surface sealing material 2 and the inside. The generation of gas of the material 4 obtains the solar cell module 10 having a good appearance and can reduce the energy consumption. When the temperature of the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 is less than 20 ° C, the air bubbles in the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 enter, and the solar cell module 10 is resistant to moisture and reliability. And the possibility that the appearance quality is low is high. In addition, cell breakage during pressurization also increases significantly.

此外,太陽電池模組10中光伏元件3,複數個光伏元件3的電極藉由焊料予以電性連接。當使用熔點為219℃的Sn-Ag-Cu系合金的焊料或熔點為183℃的Pb-Sn系的焊料時,積層加壓步驟中進行長時間的加熱時,焊料擴散至太陽電池模組10的全體,成為太陽電池模組10輸出低落的主要原因。 In addition, in the photovoltaic module 3 of the solar cell module 10, the electrodes of the plurality of photovoltaic elements 3 are electrically connected by solder. When a solder of a Sn-Ag-Cu-based alloy having a melting point of 219 ° C or a Pb-Sn-based solder having a melting point of 183 ° C is used, the solder diffuses to the solar cell module 10 when heated for a long period of time in the lamination pressurization step. The whole is the main cause of the low output of the solar battery module 10.

因此,積層加壓步驟必須在光伏元件3連接電極所使用的焊料的熔點以下的溫度進行。積層加壓步驟在表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的熔點以下的溫度施行為更佳。 Therefore, the build-up pressurization step must be performed at a temperature below the melting point of the solder used for connecting the electrodes of the photovoltaic element 3. The lamination pressurization step is preferably performed at a temperature below the melting point of the surface seal member 2 and the inner seal member 4.

如上述,實施形態1的太陽電池模組10的製造方法,積層加壓步驟在低於表面密封材2及裡面密封材4熔點20℃的溫度以上的溫度,光伏元件3連接電極時所使用的焊料的熔 點以下的溫度進行。較佳為積層加壓步驟在表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的熔點以下的溫度進行。藉此,可抑制表面密封材2及裡面密封材4中有氣泡混入,加壓時單元破裂增加,焊料擴散至太陽電池模組10的全體等,因此,可維持太陽電池模組10的高輸出,且可防止外觀品質低落。再者,太陽電池模組10的製造,不再需要過去必要的還原劑,加上使用由不會產生酸的烯烴系樹脂所構成的表面密封材2及裡面密封材4,光伏元件3具有含有莫耳比75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁的受光面側電極31,能夠以低成本製造可靠性高的太陽電池模組10。 As described above, in the method of manufacturing the solar cell module 10 of the first embodiment, the laminated pressurization step is performed at a temperature lower than a temperature at which the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 have a melting point of 20 ° C or higher, and the photovoltaic element 3 is connected to the electrode. Solder melting The temperature below the point is made. It is preferable that the step of laminating pressurization is performed at a temperature equal to or lower than the melting point of the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of air bubbles in the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4, and the cell cracking increases during pressurization, and the solder diffuses to the entire solar cell module 10, thereby maintaining the high output of the solar cell module 10. And can prevent the appearance quality from falling. Further, in the manufacture of the solar cell module 10, the surface reducing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4 composed of an olefin-based resin which does not generate an acid are used, and the photovoltaic element 3 is contained. The light-receiving surface side electrode 31 of 75% or more of silver and 0.001% or more and 25% or less of aluminum can manufacture the highly reliable solar cell module 10 at low cost.

上述實施形態1的太陽電池模組10中,當裡面密封材4為白色時,到達裡面密封材4的光大部分會返回光伏元件3,因此,穿透光伏元件3的光大多不會被浪費能夠有效利用。藉此,提高太陽電池模組10的發電效率。 In the solar battery module 10 of the first embodiment, when the inner seal member 4 is white, most of the light reaching the inner seal member 4 is returned to the photovoltaic element 3. Therefore, most of the light penetrating the photovoltaic element 3 is not wasted. use efficiently. Thereby, the power generation efficiency of the solar cell module 10 is improved.

表1表示比較例1及實施例1至實施例4的態樣。 Table 1 shows the aspects of Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 4.

關於比較例1的太陽電池模組與實施例1至實施例4的太陽電池模組,在溫度85℃及濕度85%死為高溫高濕的環境中進行劣化加速試驗。第7圖為進行上述劣化加速試驗的結果的示意圖。第7圖中Pm劣化率(%)意指最大輸出的劣化率。 The solar cell module of Comparative Example 1 and the solar cell modules of Examples 1 to 4 were subjected to a deterioration acceleration test in an environment where the temperature was 85 ° C and the humidity was 85% and the temperature was high and high humidity. Fig. 7 is a schematic view showing the results of performing the above-described deterioration acceleration test. The Pm deterioration rate (%) in Fig. 7 means the deterioration rate of the maximum output.

由第7圖可知,光伏元件3具有的受光面側電極31使用含有銀與鋁的電極,表面密封材2使用烯烴系樹脂的聚乙烯樹脂,在低於表面密封材2及裡面密封材4的熔點20℃的溫度以上的溫度進行加壓,加壓後的溫度在焊料的熔點以下的範圍進行封裝,可製造即使經過長時間可靠性依然佳的太陽電池模組10。此外,即使裡面密封材4使用乙烯醋酸乙烯酯共聚物樹脂,長期可靠性不會受到很大的影響。再者,光伏元件3的受光面側電極31,在包含莫耳比75%以上的銀與0.001%以上25%以下的鋁的範圍內,長期可靠性不會受到很大的影響。 As is clear from Fig. 7, the photovoltaic element 3 has an electrode containing silver and aluminum, and the surface sealing material 2 is made of a polyethylene resin of an olefin resin, and is lower than the surface sealing material 2 and the inner sealing material 4.
