Abstract
Provided is a solar cell module having a reinforcing member integrally stacked by means of a covering material on a rear surface of a solar cell panel having a photovoltaic element that performs photoelectric conversion, wherein a bent portion is formed in each of opposing end portions of the reinforcing member, an output wire member having conductivity is extended from an output portion of the photovoltaic element disposed on a light-receiving surface side of the solar cell panel along a surface of the bent portion so as to get over the bent portion, and a tip end of the extended portion of the output wire member is exposed out of a surface opposite to the reinforcing member of the covering material to form an output terminal portion. Thereby, there is provided a solar cell module that is improved in the area efficiency and weather resistance as well as the workability of electrical wiring and electrical connection during manufacturing and is inexpensive.
