NOVELTY - A front plate (1) consists of a glass layer (1') and a resin layer (1") contacting the glass layer. The resin layer is a layer containing resin (A1), or a layer containing a mixture of resins (A2,A3). Resin (A1) is a resin containing a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, and carboxylate group. Resin (A2) is a resin containing a hydroxyl group. Resin (A3) is a resin containing a carboxyl group and carboxylate group.    USE - Front plate is used for solar-cell panels (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The front plate provides solar-cell panels having excellent adhesiveness with respect to sealing material and resin layer. Generation of potential-induced degradation is suppressed. Since the resin layer has excellent flexibility, cracking of resin layer during assembly of solar cell panel is suppressed.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A front plate consists of a glass layer and a resin layer contacting the glass layer. The resin layer is a layer containing resin (A1), or a layer containing a mixture of resins (A2,A3). Resin (A1) is a resin containing a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, and carboxylate group of formula: -(COO)nA(power)(n). Resin (A2) is a resin containing a hydroxyl group. Resin (A3) is a resin containing a carboxyl group and -(COO)nA(power)(n) group.    A=cation chosen from alkaline-earth metal ion and ammonium ion;and    n=valence of A.    INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) manufacture of front plate, which involves applying a coating liquid containing resin (A1) or coating liquid containing resins (A2,A3) on the surface(s) of a glass substrate, and drying the coating liquid; and    (2) solar cell panel consisting of the front plate, sealing material (2), a photovoltaic cell (3), sealing material (4), and a back sheet (5) laminated sequentially.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a schematic sectional view of the solar-cell panel.
