Abstract
A solar cell module includes a base body, a plurality of solar cell elements arranged at intervals over the base body, a resin layer disposed on the solar cell elements and comprising a plurality of recesses on its surface facing opposite to the solar cell elements, and a protective sheet disposed on the resin layer. The protective sheet comprises a plurality of protrusions which correspond to the recesses of the resin layer and which are in contact with the recesses. The height of first protrusion at a location corresponding to the interval between the solar cell elements among the plurality of protrusions is higher than the height of second protrusion at a location corresponding to the solar cell element among the plurality of protrusions. The interval between adjacent ones of the second protrusions in a portion corresponding to an end portion of the base body in longer than the interval between adjacent ones of the second protrusions in a portion corresponding to a central portion of the base body.
