A solar cell module comprising a substrate, a filler, a photovoltaic element and a protective layer, wherein at least one of the substrate, the filler, the photovoltaic element and the protective layer is separable from other constituent members. Constituent members having been separated and still serviceable can be reused.

Semiconductor device, solar cell module, and methods for their dismantlement

Semiconductor encapsulant resin having an additive with a gradient concentration

The present invention relates to a solar cell module and a building-integrated solar cell module having a sealing composition made of a polymer blend or a polymer alloy. The blend or alloy is made of at least one polyolefin series copolymer and at least one crystalline polyolefin. The copolymer has a fusing point Ta by a differential scanning calorimetry which fall in a range of 50 to 110&deg; C. The crystalline polyolefin has a fusing point Tb by a differential scanning calorimetry which falls in a range of from 110 to 170&deg; C.

Sealing composition for sealing solar cell, and solar cell module and building material-integral type solar cell module using said composition

The present invention provides a photovoltaic device assembly comprising a plurality of photovoltaic devices connected with one another, wherein no rectangular corner part is formed in the peripheral parts of the photovoltaic device assembly itself and the shape of the peripheral parts of the photovoltaic devices is composed of straight lines and curved lines connecting the straight lines to one another, thereby preventing penetration owing to the effects of manufacture, installation, transportation, handling, and the state after installation of the solar cell module.

Photovoltaic device assembly, solar cell module using the same and manufacture method of solar cell module

A solar cell module comprises a photovoltaic element, the light-receiving surface and/or non-light-receiving surface of a photovoltaic element being sealed by organic polymeric resin layers, wherein when at least one of the organic polymeric resin layers contains a specific ethylene-unsaturated fatty acid ester-unsaturated fatty acid terpolymer, thereby providing a solar cell module which has excellent weather resistance, heat resistance and moisture resistance and an excellent photoelectric conversion and which can maintain stable solar cell performance over a long period of time.

Solar cell module

A solar cell module has a very agreeable appearance and can carry a large volume of information on the light receiving surface thereof. An information carrying body storing information (including, for example, the date, the process the rated values, the destination of shipment, I-V curve data and other data) for identifying the module is invisibly arranged on the light receiving surface side of the solar cell module (e.g., on the front surface sealing member or the front surface member of the photovoltaic elements).
