Abstract
A solar-cell module and a process for producing the same are disclosed. The solar-cell module comprising a solar-cell panel comprising a light-transmitting plate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface, and solar-cell elements disposed on the second surface; a frame disposed around the entire periphery of the solar-cell panel and having a flange on which the solar-cell panel is supported on the second surface while the first surface is free; and an adhesive layer disposed between the second surface of the solar-cell panel and the flange of the frame, wherein the adhesive layer comprises a reactive hot-melt adhesive comprising as a major component a urethane prepolymer obtained by reacting a polyhydroxy compound with an excess amount of a polyisocyanate compound. The solar-cell module can be produced easily and is excellent in quality and reliability.
