A solar cell module is disclosed. The solar cell module includes a solar cell panel, first and second holding members, a reinforcing member. The panel includes a light-receiving surface, a non-light receiving surface, a first side part and a second side part. The first and second holding members hold the first and second side parts respectively. The reinforcing member is laid across the first and second holding member on a non-light receiving surface side. The adhesive is disposed between the non-light receiving surface and the reinforcing member. The reinforcing member includes a supporting part that is disposed with a gap with the non-light receiving surface and that supports the non-light receiving surface via the adhesive. The supporting part includes a first main surface, a second main surface and a through hole. At least one part of the adhesive is located within the through hole.

Solar cell module

A photovoltaic power generating system of the present invention includes a solar cell module, an installation platformfor holding a pair of ends of the solar cell module, and at least one supporting memberdisposed on a side of a non-light-receiving surfaceB of the solar cell module, wherein the supporting memberis disposed at such a distance from the non-light-receiving surfaceB of the solar cell modulethat the supporting membercan abut against the non-light-receiving surfaceB by deformation of the solar cell moduleA deforming amount of the solar cell moduleis increased in accordance with an external force applied to the solar cell module
