PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solar cell module which relaxes internal stress caused by a resin thereby achieving high reliability when solar cells are resin sealed.SOLUTION: A solar cell module of the invention includes: a substrate 6 where a frame part 6b is provided at a periphery thereof; a string having multiple solar cells 1 that are disposed in a recessed part on the substrate 6 enclosed by the frame part 6b and are connected by wiring materials 2a. The solar cell module further includes: a resin layer 7b placed in the recessed part so as to bury the string; and a lid member 9 disposed on the resin layer 7b; and a space Sp exposing the resin layer 7b between the frame part 6b and the lid member 9. As just described, the space Sp is provided between the frame part 6b and the lid member 9 thereby relaxing stress due to expansion or contraction of the resin layer 7b even when a resin having a large thermal expansion coefficient is used as a material of the resin layer 7b. |
