DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention has been accomplished in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a solar cell module, a solar cell array, and a power generation apparatus that permit easy and sure execution of grounding.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell module, a solar cell array, and a power generation apparatus that have good operability and high durability and that can eliminate the need for preparation of a separate grounding conductor.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell module, a solar cell array, and a power generation apparatus that permit easy execution of both electrical connection for output and electrical connection for grounding.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a construction method of the solar cell module or the solar cell array that can establish a grounding thereof surely and easily.
Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide an inspection method that permits easy inspection at completion of the solar cell array or at maintenance or inspection thereof.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a solar cell array and a photovoltaic power generation apparatus having the solar cell array, the solar cell array comprising a plurality of solar cell modules each having a solar cell element and an electroconductive outer portion, the plurality of solar cell modules being electrically connected by an electric wire, wherein the electric wire has a plurality of cores, at least one of the cores being connected to an electric connection portion for leading a power of the solar cell element out and at least one of the cores being connected to a grounding portion of the solar cell module.
According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a solar cell module comprising a solar cell element and an electroconductive outer portion at least in part, wherein an electric connection portion for leading a power of the solar cell element out and a grounding portion of the solar cell module are arranged in the same member, and an array and a photovoltaic power generation apparatus having the module
