International Classification:
H01L025/00
US Classification:
136251000
Abstract:
Edge face sealing member(s) may be roughly c-shaped in cross-section, may be frame-like in shape and formed in more or less parallel fashion with respect to outer shape(s) of solar cell module body or bodies, may comprise upper sealing region(s) abutting front surface(s) of solar cell module body or bodies, may further comprise lower sealing region(s) abutting back surface(s) of solar cell module body or bodies, and may further comprise side sealing region(s) abutting edge face(s) of solar cell module body or bodies. Furthermore, sealing region(s) may be roughly c-shaped in cross-section; may comprise upper sealing region(s) abutting front surface(s) of solar cell module body or bodies, lower sealing region(s) abutting back surface(s) of solar cell module body or bodies, and side sealing region(s) abutting edge face(s) of solar cell module body or bodies; may be of two-layer construction; and outer layer(s) may be hard, hardness(es) of inner layer(s) being less than that of outer layer(s); as a result of which there may be intimate contact even with nonflat and/or nonsmooth glass surface(s), permitting sealing.
