Rankin, Hill & Clark LLP
Dye sensitized solar cell module and manufacturing method thereof
A solar cell module is provided with a plurality of dye sensitized solar cells arranged on a plane and connected in series with an intercell region interposed therebetween. A first transparent substrate, a first transparent conductive film, a dye carrying oxide semiconductor layer, an electrolyte layer, a catalyst layer, a second transparent conductive film and a second transparent substrate are laminated. An insulating barrier seals cells on both sides thereof in fluid tightness and insulates them in the intercell region. An electrode connecting portion provided in a vertical central part of the insulating barrier connects an extended portion of the first transparent conductive film of one of the cells to that of a second transparent conductive film of the other cell, and the electrode connecting portion penetrates through at least one of the first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate in the vertical direction and is thus exposed.
