Patent ID: 7998760

Claim:
A manufacture method for photovoltaic module which includes a step of applying a resin adhesive to an electrode of a solar cell for electrically connecting a wiring material to the electrode, comprising: a step of overlaying the resin adhesive and the wiring material on the electrode of the solar cell in this order and temporarily fixing the wiring material to the solar cell by pressure bonding the wiring material under first temperature condition and first pressurizing condition; an inspection step of inspecting the quality of the temporarily fixed solar cell; a step of removing a solar cell determined to be defective in the inspection step so as to replace the defective solar cell with a non-defective solar cell and temporarily fixing the wiring material to the non-defective solar cell by pressure bonding the wiring material with the resin adhesive interposed therebetween, under the first temperature condition and first pressurizing condition; and a fixing step in which the arrayed solar cells having the wiring materials temporarily fixed thereto and the wiring materials are fixed together by thermally setting the resin adhesive under second temperature condition to apply heat higher than the first temperature condition and a predetermined pressurizing condition.
