They work by exploiting a fundamental property of certain materials: when photons (particles of light) strike their surface, they either knock electrons free or change the material's ability to conduct current. A photovoltaic cell is an electronic device that converts the energy in the solar radiation that reaches the earth in the form of light (photons) into electrical energy (electrons) thanks to the photoelectric effect. A photoelectric conversion module according to the present disclosure comprises: a substrate 1; a photoelectric conversion element 2; and a first sealing member 7, wherein the photoelectric conversion element 2 is sealed by the substrate 1 and the first sealing member 7, the first sealing member 7. Unlike solar cells, they don't generate power for grids but detect light for sensors. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a photoelectric conversion module that has a bypass diode function and that will not lose flexibility.
