The present invention relates to an anti-reflective coating solution composition and an anti-reflective coating film using the same. More particularly, an anti-reflective coating solution composition is provided, which has a low refractive index to thus improve transmittance and can also increase abrasion resistance to thus maintain an anti-reflective effect for a long period of time, whereby an anti-reflective coating film for improving solar cell module efficiency can be formed, and thus can be applied not only to a solar cell module glass but also to glass in a variety of fields.

A photovoltaic module includes a first protective element, a second protective element, photovoltaic cells that are located between the first protective element and the second protective element, an envelope in which the photovoltaic cells are encapsulated. The envelope links the first protective element to the second protective element and includes a first portion that is located between the photovoltaic cells and the first protective element, and a second portion that is located between the photovoltaic cells and the second protective element. The disassembly method includes separating the photovoltaic cells with respect to the first protective element and cutting the first portion of the envelope by an abrasive wire.
