Abstract:
1. A method of installing a plurality of solar cell modules, comprising the steps of: preparing a plurality of solar cell modules having an equal output voltage and different sizes; and connecting positive and negative output lines of each solar cell module thus prepared to positive and negative cables, respectively, so as to connect the solar cell modules in parallel; wherein the step of preparing the plurality of solar cell modules comprises the steps of; providing a power generating region wherein a predetermined output voltage is obtained by connecting a plurality of solar cells in series on a supporting member; separating the power generating region in a direction crossing the direction of series connection of the solar cells on the supporting member; obtaining solar cell sub-modules of equal size by connecting the power generating regions thus separated in series or parallel on the supporting member; and preparing a plurality of supporting members on which mutually different numbers of solar cell sub-modules are formed and connecting the solar cell sub-modules in series or parallel on the supporting members thereby constructing the plurality of solar cell modules having an equal output voltage and different sizes.
