Abstract
A solar cell module includes a plurality of solar cells arranged next to one another in a first direction orthogonal to a second direction. The solar cells each include a lower conductive layer, an upper conductive layer, and a power generating layer. Adjacent solar cells include edge portions overlapped and electrically connected with each other. Each of the solar cells further includes end processed regions at both ends thereof and a main power generating region in a middle portion thereof. The end processed regions prevent a short-circuit between the upper conductive layer and the lower conductive layer. The main power generating region performs photoelectric conversion. The edge portion of one of the adjacent solar cells overlaps from above with the edge portion of the other one of the adjacent solar cells within a range of the main power generating region of the other one of the adjacent solar cells.
