A solar cell module which exhibits high output while ensuring connection strength between solar cells; and a solar cell suitable for the solar cell module. In the solar cell, a region on a first surface and at a first edge of a substrate that is not covered by a p-type transparent oxide electrode layer is defined as a 'region A,' and a region on the first surface and at a second edge opposite to the first edge of the substrate and not covered by the p-type transparent oxide electrode layer is defined as a 'region B.' The area of the region A is larger than the area of the region B.
