Abstract
A photovoltaic cell module in which a difference in color between a photovoltaic cell and the other portion is made to disappear and the changes of the color and appearance of its surface depending upon a viewing angle is hardly visually recognized, while suppressing the reduction of the power generation amount of the photovoltaic cell. The present photovoltaic cell module includes a thin plate-like photovoltaic cell enclosed in transparent sealing material; a transparent face plate laminated on the surface of the sealing material on the light receiving surface side of the photovoltaic cell; and a decorative layer laminated on the face plate, where a transparent resin is employed as base material of the decorative layer and light transmissive scaly glitter pigment is dispersed in the decorative layer such that the surface direction of the pigment is along the face plate surface.
