Problems solved by technology

[0015] However, the conventional sealing films of the above (1) to (6) have the following problems, and their application to solar cell module sealing films cannot be sufficiently promoted.
[0016] For example, in the above item (1), aluminum foil is used as the gas barrier layer, which is good in terms of gas barrier properties, but has problems in terms of electrical insulation of the sealing film, and also has problems in terms of weight reduction.
[0017] In addition, the sealing film of the above item (2) uses a fluorine-based film as the base film, which has excellent weather resistance and hydrolysis resistance, and less variation in gas barrier properties. However, due to the low mechanical strength of the fluorine-based film (easy to broken), so the effect of enhancing the mechanical strength of the solar cell module is low, and the solar cell element may be damaged
In addition, workability such as joining is also poor
[0018] In addition, since the sealing films of the above (3) and the above (4) use a hydrolysis-resistant PET film, it is possible to prevent the film from deteriorating due to hydrolysis. The problem that the output power of the solar cell module decreases
In addition, in environments with high temperature, high humidity, and special harmful gases such as hot spring areas or sewer facilities, the degradation due to heat resistance, hydrolysis degradation, and harmful gases generated may advance in a short period of time, and the life of the solar cell module may drop sharply. question
[0019] In addition, the sealing film of the above item (5) has a biaxially oriented PPS film laminated on the outermost layer of the sealing film, so it has the ability to prevent the external environment from being exposed to high temperature, high humidity, chemicals and harmful gases. The effect of deterioration of the sealing film, but, like the sealing films of the above items (3) and (4), due to long-term use, the gas barrier property of the gas barrier layer decreases, so the output power of the solar cell module will be reduced. Decrease, there is no reliability for a longer life of 20 to 30 years

Embodiment 1

[0196] (1) Aggregation of PPS

[0197] Add 32 kg (250 mol, including 40% by mass of crystal water) of sodium sulfide, 100 g of sodium hydroxide, 36.1 kg (250 mol) of sodium benzoate, and 79.2 kg of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (hereinafter referred to as NMP) into the autoclave , while stirring, the temperature was slowly raised to 205° C., and 7.0 liters of distilled liquid containing 6.9 kg of water were removed. 37.5 kg (255 mol) and 20 kg of NMP were added to the remaining mixture, and it polymerized at 250 degreeC for 5 hours. The obtained reaction product was alternately washed 8 times with hot water using ion-exchanged water and NMP, and dried at 80° C. for 24 hours with a vacuum dryer. The melt viscosity of the obtained PPS powder polymer was 4100 poise, the glass transition temperature was 90°C, and the melting point was 285°C.

Embodiment 2

[0217] A PPS film was produced by the same method as in Example 1, and the heat treatment temperature after stretching was set to 260°C, and the post-annealing temperature was set to 150°C. The thus obtained film having a thickness of 25 μm was designated as PPS-F-2. The orientation degree OF of this film was 0.39 in the edge direction and 0.42 in the terminal direction.

[0218] On the other hand, the PET film was manufactured in the same manner as PET-F-1 of Example 1, and the post-annealing temperature was set to 150°C. The obtained film with a thickness of 100 μm was designated as PET-F-2. The above-mentioned PPS-F-2 and PET-F-2 were laminated into a three-layer structure of PPS-F-2 / PET-F-2 / PPS-F-2 by the method of Example 1 to form a resin film layer. Then, a gas barrier layer-1 was laminated on one surface of the resin film layer by the same method as in Example 1 to obtain a sealing film (as sealing film-2). The water vapor transmission rate of the film is 0.5g / m 2 ...

Embodiment 3

[0220] A PPS film was prepared by the method of Example 1, the heat treatment temperature was set to 260° C., and the relaxation rate in the width direction in the same tenter was set to 12%. The degree of orientation OF of this film was 0.32 in the edge direction and 0.36 in the terminal direction. In addition, the post-annealing treatment was performed using the method of Example 1 at a temperature of 150° C. for one minute. The obtained film with a thickness of 25 μm was designated as PPS-F-3. On the other hand, the stretch ratio of the PET film in the longitudinal direction and the width direction was set to 3.5 times, and the heat treatment conditions and post-annealing treatment were carried out under the conditions of Example 1 to obtain a PET film with a thickness of 100 μm. This film was called PET-F-3.

[0221] The PPS-F-3 and PET-F-1 were laminated in three layers under the same lamination structure and conditions as in Example 1, and then the gas barrier layer-1 ...
