Claim 9:
10. A solar cell panel comprising:
a plurality of solar cells including a first solar cell, a second solar cell, and an intermediate solar cell arranged between the first and second solar cells, wherein each solar cell of the plurality of solar cells has respective lengths in a first direction and respective widths in a second direction, and wherein each solar cell of the plurality of solar cells includes a first side and a second side which extend along the first direction and are opposite to each other and determined with respect to the second direction; and
one or more connecting members that electrically connect two adjacent solar cells of the plurality of solar cells,
wherein the first solar cell includes a first chamfer portion at the first side of the first solar cell,
wherein the second solar cell includes a second chamfer portion at the second side of the second solar cell,
wherein a first width of the first solar cell in the second direction is a maximum width of the first solar cell and is different from a second width of the second solar cell in the second direction, the second width being a maximum width of the second solar cell,
wherein a third width of the intermediate solar cell in the second direction is a maximum width of the intermediate solar cell, is less than the first width of the first solar cell, and is less than the second width of the second solar cell, and
wherein when the first, second, and intermediate solar cells are connected to one another via the one or more connecting members, a photoelectric conversion area of each solar cell of the plurality of the solar cells is the same such that a current flow of each solar cell of the plurality of the solar cells is the same,
wherein the first solar cell has an upper electrode on an upper surface thereof adjacent the second side of the first solar cell, the upper electrode of the first solar cell spaced from the second side of the first solar cell by a first spacing distance,
wherein the second solar cell has a lower electrode on a lower surface thereof adjacent the first side of the second solar cell and has an upper electrode on an upper surface thereof adjacent the second side of the second solar cell, the upper electrode spaced from the second side of the second solar cell by a second spacing distance,
wherein each intermediate solar cell has an upper electrode on an upper surface thereof adjacent the second side of the intermediate solar cell, the upper electrode of each intermediate solar cell spaced from the second side of the intermediate solar cell by a third spacing distance, wherein the second spacing distance is greater than the first spacing distance, and wherein the upper electrode of the first solar cell is a first bus bar electrode that is located at the second side of the first solar cell, the second side of the first solar cell being a cut surface, and wherein the second solar cell includes a second bus bar electrode that is located at the second side of the second solar cell and on the upper surface thereof, the second side of the second solar cell being a non-cut surface.
