本変形例において、複数の凹部11bに含まれる一の凹部11bと他の凹部11bとは、配線材11の内部で連結される。
次に、上記第1実施形態の変形例2について、図6を参照しながら説明する。図6は、本変形例に係る配線材11の構成を示す断面図である。
本変形例において、配線材11は、樹脂接着材12と対向する対向面Sに形成される複数の凸部11cをさらに備える。複数の凸部11cそれぞれは、樹脂接着材12の内部に食込むことによりアンカー効果を発揮する。従って、配線材11が樹脂接着材12から剥離することをさらに抑制することができる。
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について、図7を参照しながら説明する。図7(a)及び(b)は、本実施形態に係る配線材11及び樹脂接着材12の構成を示す断面図である。
本実施形態に係る太陽電池モジュール100において、樹脂接着材12は、配線材11と対向する対向面Tに形成される複数の凹部12aを有する。配線材11は、複数の凹部12aそれぞれに入り込むことによりアンカー効果を発揮する。
本発明は上記の実施形態によって記載したが、この開示の一部をなす論述及び図面はこの発明を限定するものであると理解すべきではない。この開示から当業者には様々な代替実施形態、実施例及び運用技術が明らかとなろう。
まず、配線材の表面に複数の縦穴状凹部を形成した。具体的には、幅1.5mm、厚み0.2mmの扁平な銅箔の表面上に形成された厚さ30μmの半田層に、複数の突起部(φ18μm、長さ30μm、傾斜角70度、1mmピッチ)を有するダイス(図10参照)を複数回押し付けた。これにより、配線材の表面に30~50μmピッチで複数の縦穴状凹部を形成した。なお、ダイスを押し付けるたびに、ダイスを配線材に対して回転させることにより、複数の縦穴状凹部それぞれを無作為方向に形成した。
実施例2では、配線材の表面に複数の溝状凹部を形成した。具体的には、幅1.5mm、厚み0.2mmの扁平な銅箔の表面上に形成された厚さ30μmの半田層に、#240の研磨紙を装着したベルトサンダーを用いて、複数の溝状凹部を配線材の長手方向に沿って形成した(図11参照)。
複数の凹部を形成することなく、平板状の配線材を用いて比較例1,2に係る太陽電池モジュールを作製した。その他の工程は、上記第1実施例と同様とした。
次に、実施例1,2及び比較例1,2に係る太陽電池モジュールについて、恒温槽を用いて温度サイクル試験を行った。
