Abstract

La présente invention propose une feuille arrière de cellule solaire qui comprend : un substrat qui comprend un film de polyester orienté de manière biaxiale ; et une couche d'adhésion facile qui est disposée sur au moins une surface du substrat. La couche d'adhésion facile comprend non seulement un liant qui contient des fractions à structure réticulée formées à partir à la fois d'une résine thermoplastique qui contient des groupes carboxyle dans la molécule et d'un carbodiimide comme agent réticulant mais également une cire qui contient un ester d'acide gras supérieur d'un alcool supérieur, la quantité de ladite cire étant de 1,0 à 20 % en masse par rapport à la masse totale de la couche d'adhésion facile. La feuille arrière de cellule solaire présente une excellente adhésion entre la couche d'adhésion facile et une couche adhésive adjacente à celle-ci lorsqu'elle est exposée à un environnement chaud et humide pendant une longue période.
