Abstract
A mounting structure for mounting a photovoltaic element onto a metal body, which outputs a power generated by the photovoltaic element to the outside surface, and a method for mounting the photovoltaic element. In the mounting structure, the metal body has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, in which the photovoltaic element is joined to the first surface and an electrically insulative material is joined to the second surface. A semiconductor element-mounting substrate for mounting a semiconductor element thereon comprising a retaining substrate having a circuit pattern, which has an electrode-joining portion for joining the semiconductor element electrode portion, an external terminal-fixing portion, and a groove between the electrode-joining portion and external-fixing portion, and a method for mounting the semiconductor element. In the mounting substrate, the electrode-joining portion is larger than the semiconductor element electrode portion.
