Description
The present invention relates to a solar cell module.
Recently, as energy resources such as oil and coal are expected to be depleted, interest in alternative energy to replace them is increasing, and solar cells that produce electric energy from solar energy are attracting attention.
Typical solar cells have a semiconductor portion that forms a p-n junction by different conductive types, such as p-type and n-type, and electrodes connected to semiconductor portions of different conductivity types, respectively.
When light is incident on such a solar cell, a plurality of electron-hole pairs are generated in the semiconductor portion, and the generated electron-hole pairs are separated into electrons and holes, respectively, so that the electrons move toward the n- Type semiconductor portion. The transferred electrons and holes are collected by different electrodes connected to the n-type semiconductor portion and the p-type semiconductor portion, respectively, and electric power is obtained by connecting these electrodes with electric wires.
On the other hand, in the case of a rear-facing solar cell in which all the electrodes of the solar cell are located on the rear surface of the solar cell, in order to connect the plurality of solar cells in series, the interconnector may be directly connected to the electrode of the solar cell, And connected to a plurality of leads connected to the electrodes.
However, in such a case, when the electrode of the solar cell is connected to the interconnector, or when the lead wire connected to the solar cell is connected to the interconnector, the shape of the interconnector may be deformed due to thermal deformation of the interconnector, The connection can not be formed smoothly, thereby causing defects of the solar cell module.

Here, the thermal expansion coefficient of the insulating substrate may be between 0.1 and 3 times the thermal expansion coefficient of the first and second conductive wirings. For example, the first and second conductive wirings have a thermal expansion coefficient of 10 * 10 -6 / K to 20 * 10 -6 / K, and the thermal expansion coefficient of the insulating substrate is 1 * 10 -6 / K to 50 * 10 -6 / K. ≪ / RTI >
In addition, the insulating substrate may be formed of at least one material selected from the group consisting of polyimide or epoxy containing glass fibers. The thickness of such an insulating substrate may be between 150 [mu] m and 300 [mu] m.

Such a metal layer may include any one of gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and aluminum (Al).
The first and second conductive wirings may be formed by coating a core including any one of gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and aluminum (Al) (Sn). ≪ / RTI >
The first and second conductive wirings may be connected to the metal layer of the interconnector through the first conductive adhesive agent.
Here, the first conductive adhesive may be located between the first conductive interconnection and the metal layer and between the second conductive interconnection and the metal layer in a plurality of regions.
The first conductive adhesive may be formed of at least one of a solder paste containing tin (Sn) or a conductive paste containing metal particles in an insulating resin.
Further, the melting point of the insulating substrate may be higher than the melting point of the first conductive adhesive agent. For example, the melting point of the first conductive adhesive may be between 138 ° C and 250 ° C.
In addition, the thickness of the metal layer may be smaller than the thickness of the insulating substrate or the first and second conductive wirings. For example, the thickness of the metal layer may be between 10um and 40um.
Further, the thickness of the first conductive adhesive agent may be larger than the thickness of the metal layer and smaller than the thickness of the insulating substrate. As an example, the thickness of the first conductive adhesive may be between 30 [mu] m and 100 [mu] m.
The interconnector may be disposed such that the insulating substrate faces the front surface of the solar cell module, and the metal layer is disposed to face the rear surface of the solar cell module, and may be connected to the first and second conductive wires in the metal layer.
The first conductive wiring is connected to the first electrode through a second conductive adhesive agent in each of the plurality of solar cells, the second electrode is insulated by the insulating layer, the second conductive wiring is separated from the first conductive wiring, The first electrode may be connected to the second electrode through a second conductive adhesive, and the first electrode may be insulated by an insulating layer.
