Abstract:
1. A solar cell module comprising: a light-receiving-surface-side protection member, a rear-surface-side protection member comprising a metal layer sandwiched between first and second opposing resin layers, a plurality of solar cells having front and rear surfaces arranged between the light-receiving-surface-side protection member and the rear-surface-side protection member, a sealing member disposed between the rear surface of the solar cell and the rear-surface-side protection member, and an output lead connected to the solar cells, wherein the rear-surface-side protection member includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion partially is surrounded by a first slit, a second slit arranged in parallel to the first slit, and a third slit perpendicularly arranged to the first slit and the second slit, wherein the first, second and third slits define an outer region comprising the first and second opposing resin layers surrounding the metal layer, the metal layer having an edge portion that is exposed to the first, second and third slits, the second portion partially is surrounded by a fourth slit, a fifth slit arranged in parallel to the fourth slit, and the third slit perpendicularly arranged to the fourth slit and the fifth slit, wherein the third, fourth and fifth slits define an outer region comprising the first and second opposing resin layers surrounding the metal layer, the metal layer having an edge portion that is exposed to the third, fourth and fifth slits, the output lead passes through the sealing member and is drawn out through the third slit, the output lead being adjacent to the exposed edge portion of the metal layer in the first and second portion outer regions and film insulating members located on the first portion outer region and the second portion outer region, the film insulating members surrounding the exposed edge portion of the metal layers in the first and second portion outer regions and positioned completely between the output lead and the exposed edge portions of the metal layer in the first and second portion outer regions.
