The sealing material includes a colored layer that reflects light from the light-receiving surface side of the solar cell, and a transparent layer that is provided between the colored layer and the solar cell. The transparent layer has, in a space between adjacent solar cells, a side surface raised along the rear surface-side corner portion of the solar cell.
