A solar cell system with increased solar energy use efficiency and a combined heat/electricity solar cell system recovering heat energy. A solar cell system has a solar cell panel (1), a heat pipe (2), and a heat diffusion section (3). The solar cell panel (1) receives sunlight at a light reception surface (1a) and supplies electric power generated by photoelectric conversion to the outside. The heat pipe (2) has a plate-like structure body that has in it a meandering hole and has a refrigerant fluid sealed in it, or that has a flat shape or a thin shape or a thin film shape. That portion of the front surface of the plate-like structure body which is on one end side of the plate-like structure body is stuck on the back surface of the light reception surface of the solar cell panel, and the heat pipe (2) receives heat (H) generated by the solar cell panel (1) from one end section (2a) and transmits the heat to the other end section (2b). The heat diffusion section (3) includes a warm water production section for receiving the heat, transmitted through the heat pipe (2), from the other end section (2b) side. |
