Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing a back contact solar cell, which is able to be carried out with fewer steps than conventional production methods. The present invention is a method for producing a back contact solar cell, which sequentially comprises: a step (A) for forming an oxide film (20) on the back surface of a crystal silicon substrate (10); a step (B) for forming a silicon thin film layer (30A) on the exposed surface of the oxide film (20); a step (C) for forming an n+layer (40) partially in the silicon thin film layer (30A) by an ion implantation method using a mechanical hard mask and activation annealing; a step (D) for forming passivation films (50) on both surfaces of the crystal silicon substrate (10) obtained in the step (C), said crystal silicon substrate (10) having the oxide film (20), the silicon thin film layer (30B) and the n+layer (40); and a step (E) for forming one or more aluminum electrodes (60B) on the silicon thin film layer (30B), which is exposed by removing a part of a region of the passivation film (50) that is formed on the back surface of the crystal silicon substrate (10), said region not covering the n+ layer (40).

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a back contact-type solar cell that can be carried out with a smaller number of processes than in conventional manufacturing methods. The present invention is a method for manufacturing a back contact-type solar cell, wherein the method has, in sequence: a step (A) for partially forming a n+layer (20) by ion injection and activation annealing using a mechanical hard mask on the reverse surface of a crystalline silicon substrate (10); a step (B) for forming a passivation film (40) on both surfaces of the crystalline silicon substrate (10) having the n+ layer (20) obtained in step (A); and a step (C) for removing a part or all of the region, of the passivation film (40) formed on the reverse surface side of the crystalline silicon substrate (10), that directly covers the crystalline silicon substrate (10), and forming one or more aluminum electrodes (60B) on the exposed crystalline silicon substrate (50).

Abstract

A method is disclosed for installing a solar cell module, which enables easy installation of a solar cell module on a rack, and also enables a worker to install a solar cell module without climbing on the roof. A solar cell module is installed on a rack mounted on a roof. The solar cell module includes a frame formed of a material containing a resin. The rack includes multiple rails each having a groove, and the grooves of a pair of the rails are disposed to be opposed to each other. The method of this invention comprises the steps of fitting the frame of the solar cell module into the groove such that the solar cell module is retained by the pair of the rails, and fixing the solar cell module to the pair of the rails to prevent the solar cell module from falling out of the grooves.
