PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solar battery module with high reliability which prevents an output decline or a hot spot phenomenon in a specific solar battery cell installed and used in an environment where the cell is in the shade of an obstacle and incident sunlight thereon is blocked.SOLUTION: A solar battery module 10 comprises a laminate 12 composed of a first electrode layer 13, a power generation layer 14 and a second electrode layer 15 which are stacked in order on a substrate 11, where the power generation layer 14 and the second electrode layer 15 are divided by scribe lines into a plurality of solar battery cells 21, with the solar battery cells 21 located at adjacent positions connected together in series. Among the solar battery cells 21 constituting the solar battery module 10 and connected in series, specific solar battery cells 21 located in end regions on one or both sides are installed and used in an environment in which they are in the shade of an obstacle and incident sunlight thereon is blocked. The specific solar battery cells 21 have a structure for short-circuiting between the first electrode layer 13 and the second electrode layer 15. |
