Abstract
A solar cell unit capable of easily replacing a film-type solar cell while concurrently using the film-type solar cell and a non-film-type solar cell, and a solar cell unit maintenance system are provided. The solar cell unit includes: a film-type solar cell disposed on a light incident side; a non-film-type solar cell disposed on a side opposite to the light incident side of the film-type solar cell; and a reeling mechanism that reels the film-type solar cell. The film-type solar cell is slidable relative to the non-film-type solar cell by means of the reeling mechanism.
