Abstract
In order to provide a see-through solar cell module in which the manufacturing costs can be reduced and transmittance can be readily modified without modifying the manufacturing steps, there is provided a solar cell module comprising solar cells in which are layered a conductive substrate, and a lower electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and an upper electrode layer in the stated order on the conductive substrate; the solar cell module having a configuration in which a plurality of through-openings that pass through the conductive substrate to the upper electrode layer in the layering direction is formed over the entire surface of the solar cells.
