A reliable solar cell module is provided whereby the liquid is less likely to stay thereon, thus dirt is less likely to occur on the light receiving surface of the solar cell module even in a prolonged use. A solar cell module comprising a solar cell panel, and a module frame. The solar cell module comprising a light receiving surface side member with a light receiving surface: a rear surface side member; and a solar cell element between the light receiving surface side member an the rear surface side member. The module frame fixed to the solar cell panel and surrounding the solar cell panel with its interior surface being abutted with an external peripheral part of the solar cell panel. The module frame comprises a notch extending from its inner part towards its external part in plan view from a side of the light receiving surface side member. The notch member comprises: a first portion on an upper surface of the module frame extending so as to reach an exterior side surface of the module frame, a second portion on the exterior side surface of the module frame connected to the first portion and extending from the upper surface of the module frame so that a lower end of an exterior side surface of the light receiving surface side member is exposed, and a draw part with smallest width.
