Concentrating solar cell module

A concentrating solar cell module comprising:

• a base portion having a plurality of mounting regions for mounting solar cells and a plurality of lead electrodes for electrically connecting the solar cells with external electrodes;
• a support composed of a thermosetting resin, the support surrounding each of the mounting regions of the base portion;
• the solar cells mounted on the mounting regions;
• and
• a condensing lens molded above each of the mounting regions so as to encapsulate the solar cells,
• wherein a surface of each of the mounting regions of the base portion is plated, the condensing lenses are molded with a transparent thermosetting silicone resin, and the support is joined to a surface of the base portion, the surface to which the support is joined is on the same side of the base portion as the surface on which the solar cells are mounted, and
• wherein the concentrating solar cell module has a half dicing structure in which only a portion of the base portion is cut or the base portion and only a portion of the support are cut from a backside of the concentrating solar cell module.
