Abstract
A method is provided which is suitable for manufacturing a solar module. When a defective solar cell () is discovered in a solar cell string (), a disconnecting step is performed to disconnect the wiring members () bonded to the defective solar cell () and to the solar cells () adjacent to the defective solar cell (), and to remove the defective solar cell () from the solar cell string (). A reconnecting step is then performed to electrically connect the solar cells () that were adjacent to the defective solar cell () to a new solar cell () by using new wiring members (), bonding each new wiring member () using a resin adhesive to a region closer to the end than the region in which the disconnected end () of the wiring member of the solar cell () adjacent to the defective solar cell () had been bonded in order to create a new solar cell string ().
