NOVELTY - A thin film solar cell module (100) comprises: first substrate (121); first electrode layer (122) over first substrate; light absorption layer (124) over first electrode layer; second electrode layer (128) over light absorption layer; second substrate (160) over second electrode layer, where an edge region (140) is located between the substrates and an encapsulation layer (150) is provided between the substrates in the edge region; and an electrically conductive member (130) situated in the edge region, and forms an edge seal extending at least a part of the way between the substrates.    USE - As thin film solar cell module (claimed) such as copper indium gallium selenide thin film solar cell module, or an amorphous silicone thin film solar cell module.    ADVANTAGE - The electrically conductive member is a conductive tape. The pair of conductive tapes simultaneously acts as a ribbon and performs edge sealing, and thus edge sealing can be omitted, and thus a process of manufacturing the thin film solar cell module can be further simplified. Moreover, since edge sealing is not performed, area of the thin film solar cell increases, this provides enhanced photoelectric conversion efficiency for the thin film solar cell module; and it also reduces manufacturing complexity, and cost.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A thin film solar cell module (100) comprises: a first substrate (121); a first electrode layer (122) over the first substrate; a light absorption layer (124) over the first electrode layer; a second electrode layer (128) over the light absorption layer; and a second substrate (160) over the second electrode layer, where an edge region (140) is located between the first and second substrates and an encapsulation layer (150) is provided between the first and second substrates in at least the edge region. The thin film solar cell module further comprises an electrically conductive member (130) situated in the edge region, and it forms an edge seal extending at least a part of the way between the first and second substrates. The electrically conductive member comprises an electrically conductive contact layer (132); and a barrier layer (136). The contact layer comprises a first adhesive layer; and the barrier layer comprises a second adhesive layer.
