Abstract

See full text

Constituent materials of a CIS type thin-film photovoltaic module are made separable and recyclable without reducing output characteristics and durability. A thin-film photovoltaic module 1 having a substrate structure comprising a CIS type thin-film solar cell device 2 and a cover glass 4 bonded to the light incidence side of the device 2 with a thermally crosslinked EVA resin or the like 3 as an adhesive is made to include a non-adhesive plastic (e.g., polyester) resin 6 sandwiched between the solar cell device 2 and the EVA resin 3. Thus, the constituent materials are separable. Through later simple separation steps, the constituent materials are separated and recovered.
