Abstract
A solar battery module () includes a stack of: a plurality of solar battery strings () and bus sections () connected to both ends of each of the plurality of solar battery strings (); flexible resin layers (through); and a flexible resin film (). The flexible resin layers (through) and the flexible resin film () have, on a light receiving surface side of solar battery cells (), holes through which the bus sections () are each partially exposed. The exposed parts of the bus sections () serve as a respective plurality of electrically-connecting means (). A solar battery array () includes a plurality of solar battery modules (). The plurality of solar battery modules () are electrically connected with each other via the plurality of electrically-connecting means (). This makes it possible to achieve a large-scale solar battery array () with high mechanical strength.
