- the present invention relates to a solar cell with a connecting sheet, a solar cell module, and a method of fabricating a solar cell with a connecting sheet.
- Solar cells that are now most fabricated in quantity and available on the market are the double-sided electrode type solar cells based on a configuration in which an n electrode is formed at the surface corresponding to the sunlight incident side (light receiving face), and a p electrode is formed at the surface opposite to the light receiving face side (back surface).
- Patent Literature 1 discloses a back electrode type solar cell absent of an electrode at the light receiving face of the solar cell, and having the n electrode and p electrode formed only at the back surface of the solar cell.
- a solar cell with a connecting sheet is produced by placing a back electrode type solar cell 80 on a connecting sheet 100 .
