<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solar cell module imparted with practically sufficient mechanical strength only with a rib and a frame while eliminating a heavy reinforcing plate such as a glass plate or a metal plate conventionally used on the entire surface of the solar cell module. <P>SOLUTION: The solar cell module comprises a flexible solar cell panel 10 produced by sealing a plurality of sheets of photovoltaic element 11 arranged through a gap 15, a rib 13 consisting of a protrusion 13b and a bonding portion 13a provided on the non-light receiving plane of the solar cell panel, and a frame 14 provided at the end side of the solar cell panel. The rib 13 is arranged to intersect the frame 14 and the bonding portion 13a is arranged to extend from the end of a photovoltaic element to the end of a photovoltaic element adjacent to the photovoltaic element while straddling the gap 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
