Solar cell module

Abstract

In a solar cell module constructed by sealing a plurality solar cell elements between a sheet-like substrate and a sheet-like light transmitting member with a seal layer formed of a synthetic resin, at least a part of the end faces of the light transmitting member is covered with the synthetic resin constituting the seal layer. The edges of the substrate are provided with raised sections raised toward the light transmitting member side, and the voids between the raised sections and the end faces of the light transmitting member are filled with the synthetic resin. Both edges of the substrate are provided with engagement sections that come into engagement with adjacent other solar cell modules, respectively, and the raised sections are formed on the edges having the engagement sections. The raised sections have a height equal to or more than the thickness of the seal layer.
