METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THIN FILM SOLAR CELL MODULE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a thin film solar cell module capable of preventing peeling of a thin film adjacent to a conductive ribbon.SOLUTION: A method for manufacturing a thin film solar cell module comprises: disposing step of preparing a substrate on which a thin film solar cell element is formed and disposing a pair of conductive ribbons for extracting power from the thin film solar cell on an element forming surface of the substrate; layering step of layering a sealing material on the element forming surface of the substrate; and laminating step of melting and crosslinking the sealing material. In the process of layering the sealing material, the sealing material is layered such that a thickness of the sealing material disposed on the thin film solar cell element adjacent to the respective conductive ribbons becomes thicker than that of the sealing material disposed on a central part of the thin film solar cell element. 【課題】導電リボンに隣接する薄膜の剥離を防止可能な薄膜太陽電池モジュールの製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】本薄膜太陽電池モジュールの製造方法は、薄膜太陽電池素子が形成された基板を準備し、前記基板の素子形成面上に前記薄膜太陽電池素子から電力を取り出すための一対の導電リボンを配置する工程と、前記基板の素子形成面上に封止材を重ねる工程と、前記封止材を溶融及び架橋するラミネート工程と、を備え、前記封止材を重ねる工程では、夫々の前記導電リボンに隣接する前記薄膜太陽電池素子上に配置される封止材の厚みが、前記薄膜太陽電池素子の中央部分に配置される封止材の厚みよりも厚くなるように、前記封止材を重ねる。【選択図】図２
