Abstract
A photovoltaic module which prevents enlargement of the dimensions of a photovoltaic submodule by reducing ineffective parts which do not contribute to power generation. The photovoltaic module includes a photovoltaic submodule including a plurality of solar cells interposed between two light-transmitting substrates through the intermediary of an encapsulant, and a connecting lead extending from an edge between the two light-transmitting substrates for outputting generated electric current, a terminal box 30 attached near to the edge of the photovoltaic submodule housing a connecting part between the connecting lead and a cable for outputting generated electric current to the outside, and an outer frame set around the outer circumference of the photovoltaic submodule. An opening 28 through which the connecting lead and the terminal box are inserted is provided to the outer frame at a position which receives at least the terminal box.
