Abstract
Provided is a solar cell module having improved energy efficiency. The solar cell module includes a frame, first solar cells arranged at the frame, and second solar cells smaller than the first solar cells. The second solar cells are disposed in regions surrounded by the first solar cells. The first solar cells have a substantially circular shape. The second solar cells have a rectangular shape, and each of the second solar cells is surrounded by four of the first solar cells.
