A method for manufacturing a concentrator photovoltaic module including: power generating elements whereon sunlight is concentrated by condenser lenses; and a housing accommodating the power generating elements. The housing includes a resin frame body, a metal bottom plate closing a bottom-side opening of the frame body and an inner surface wherein power generating elements are disposed. The method includes: a peripheral edge of the inner surface of the bottom plate connected to a bottom end surface of the frame body, fixing the bottom plate to the frame body creating the housing; and fixing the housing to a transport jig for transporting the housing horizontally. The transport jig includes a support portion corresponding to the bottom end surface of the frame body, and supports the housing. The housing is fixed to the transport jig, with the support portion attached to a peripheral edge of an outer surface of the bottom plate.
