- both the resulting positive (+) and the resulting negative voltage connection (-) of the thin-film solar module 1 are guided over the back electrode ⁇ layer 5 and contacted there electrically.
- the present invention provides a thin film solar module whose long-term stability is improved, with age-related, irreversible power losses can be counteracted due to a degradation of the absorber layer 6.
- This can be achieved, on the one hand, in that migration of mobile ions from the absorber layer 6 is at least largely prevented by saturating the adhesive layer 9 with the mobile ions, so that it does not act as a sink for the mobile ions.
- one may be counteracted by induced in the thin film solar module 1 before ⁇ handenes water, hydrolysis of the absorber layer 6 against. This avoids that hydrolysis products in the structuring trenches lead to unfavorable electrical resistances. In addition, it can be prevented that moisture increases the electrical parallel resistance of the solar cells.
- sodium-doped Cu (In, Ga) (S, Se) 2 thin film solar modules _ significantly lowered by the indicated measures the usual losses in efficiency. As shown in Table 1, were sodium-doped
- the sodium and zinc contents of the adhesive layers were determined by X-ray fluorescence analysis.
- a sodium or zinc content of 0 wt .-% in Table 1 means a level of the fluorescence analysis in the X-ray detectable amount of ⁇ 100 ppm, bezo ⁇ gene on the weight of the adhesive layer.
- film 2 having a sodium content of 0% by weight and a zinc content of 0% by weight after the dry heat aging test showed a loss relative to the efficiency of the thin film solar module of 10%.
- Film 3 with a zinc content of 0.7% by weight showed a loss of 40%.
