Patent ID: 6840799

Claim:
A cable connection structure for electrically connecting cables extending from a plurality of solar cell modules in series in a limited space under the plurality of solar cell modules, comprising: a first connector connected to an end of a first flat cable extending from one solar cell module of said plurality of solar cell modules, said first connector having a flat outer configuration and being connected to said first flat cable with a thickness direction of said first connector substantially coincident with a thickness direction of said first flat cable; and a second connector connected to an end of a second flat cable extending from another solar cell module of said plurality of solar cell modules, said second connector having a flat outer configuration and being connected to said second flat cable with a thickness direction of said second connector substantially coincident with a thickness direction of said second flat cable, wherein when said first connector and said second connector are connected to each other, said thickness direction of said first connector and said thickness direction of said second connector are substantially coincident with each other, and the flat outer configuration allows the first and second connectors to be routed in the limited space.
