SOLAR BATTERY MODULE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a solar battery module reduced in resistance loss, improved in F.F. (Fill Factor) and reduced in shadow loss by suppressing occurrence of damage such as fissures and cracks in a solar battery cell irrespective of increasing the thickness of an inter-connector to reduce resistance losses of the solar battery cell and the solar battery module while suppressing production yield reduction, and to provide the solar battery module so manufactured. SOLUTION: The solar battery module includes two or more solar battery cells, each having a collecting electrode at least consisting of a bus bar and a finger and formed on its surface, and the inter-connector connected with the bus bar electrode to be electrically connected with the adjacent solar battery cell. At least a joint part of the inter-connector with an end of the solar battery cell is thinner and wider than a part other than the joint part. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
