線の起こる危険性があり、また、取扱いに細心の注意を
要する関係上、組立には特殊で大掛りな治工具や装置が
必要である。In this configuration, in order to achieve the above-mentioned modularization, the interconnector 7 is connected to the electrodes of the solar cells by welding or soldering, and then attached to the insulating sheet 2 laminated to the substrate 1. Since the work is not carried out with individual cells fixed to something, there is a risk that the interconnector 7 will be strained due to repeated stress and breakage may occur.Also, due to the fact that it must be handled with great care, Assembly requires special and large-scale jigs and equipment.
更に、より軽量化を図るためには、太陽電池セル自体の
薄型化を図ることは勿論であるが、上記従来の方法では
接着剤の使用量が多いため限界がある。Furthermore, in order to further reduce weight, it is of course necessary to reduce the thickness of the solar cell itself, but the conventional method described above has a limit because it requires a large amount of adhesive.
更に、上記構成では個々のセルを簡単に他のセルと切離
したり、或いは基板から取外せるようになっていないの
で、修理に際して特殊な方法（例えば、不良セルを特殊
工具で破壊する）を用いなければならず、また、修理後
は一般に元の太陽電池アレイ構造と異なったものとなる
ため、修理後の太陽電池アレイの信頼性が問題となって
いた。Furthermore, in the above configuration, individual cells cannot be easily separated from other cells or removed from the board, so a special method (for example, destroying a defective cell with a special tool) must be used for repair. In addition, the structure of the solar cell array after repair is generally different from the original one, so the reliability of the solar cell array after repair has been a problem.
この発明は上記従来の事情に鑑みて提案されたものであ

修理が簡単となり、且つ、軽量化が実現できる太陽電池
セルを提供するにある。The present invention has been proposed in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a solar cell that can be easily assembled and repaired without using welding or soldering for connection, and can be lightweight.
この発明は上記目的を達成するために以下のような手段

接するように基板本体上面に露出させたものである。That is, a plurality of locking pins are arranged on the substrate at intervals that match the dimensions of the solar battery cells, interconnectors are embedded within the locking pins, and one end of the interconnector is locked between the locking pins. The top end of the locking pin is exposed so that it comes into contact with the top electrode of the adjacent solar cell, and the other end of the interconnector is exposed on the top surface of the board body so that it comes into contact with the bottom electrode of the adjacent solar cell. This is what I did.

作業中の断線を防止でき、また、軽量化を図ることがで
きる上に、組立、或いは修理作業も非常に簡便となる。This allows solar cells to be electrically connected in series to each other without soldering or welding, and each solar cell can be connected directly to the substrate with no or only a small amount of adhesive. This means that it can be locked. Therefore, disconnection during assembly can be prevented, the weight can be reduced, and assembly or repair work can be made very simple.

ａと、該上面電極１０ａとが当接するように係止する。A solar battery cell 4 having a cover glass 6 having the same structure as the conventional one attached with an adhesive 5 is fitted into each cell space of the locking structure constructed in this manner as follows. That is, each solar cell 4 is held between two elastic locking pins 1), and one upper end of each solar cell 4 is held between the cover glass 6 by the eaves 12b of the locking pin 1). It is locked from above, and the other upper end where the upper surface electrode 10a is exposed is attached to the eaves part 12a.
One end 9 of the interconnector 9 protruding along the lower surface of the

することができるのである。By sequentially fitting the required number of solar cells into the cell space in this manner, each solar cell 4 can be fixed onto the substrate 8 without using adhesive, and can be easily soldered or welded. A large number of solar cells can be connected in series without having to do so.
尚、基板として利用する素材の弾性が充分であれば、上
記のように係止ピンの先端に庇部１２ａ。Incidentally, if the material used as the substrate has sufficient elasticity, the eaves portion 12a is provided at the tip of the locking pin as described above.

民生用、或いは電力用に利用できることは勿論である。Each solar cell 4 can be sandwiched in the cell space without providing 12b. Further, in order to connect solar cells in parallel using this configuration, for example, one end 9a of the interconnector exposed on the substrate surface of the adjacent cell space (adjacent in the direction perpendicular to the paper in FIG. 3) is connected. They may be connected to each other or to the other ends 9b by welding or soldering. Furthermore, this solar cell array structure can be used not only for artificial satellites but also for
Of course, it can be used for consumer use or for electric power.

を防止することがでる。As explained above, this invention locks each solar cell with a locking pin, so each solar cell can be attached to a substrate without using any adhesive or with only a small amount of adhesive. Can be locked. Further, since the connection between the interconnector and each electrode is completed at the same time that the above locking is completed, each solar cell can be electrically connected without using welding or soldering. Therefore, it is possible to prevent damage to the solar cell during assembly work, wire breakage due to repeated stress and strain, or wire breakage due to incomplete welding or incomplete soldering.
