Abstract

A solar cell module includes a plurality of cell strings having a plurality of solar cells, each solar cell having a semiconductor substrate, and a first conductivity-type electrode and a second conductivity-type electrode provided on a first surface of the semiconductor substrate, an interconnector electrically connecting a first conductivity-type electrode of a first solar cell, among the plurality of solar cells included in the plurality of cell strings, and a second conductivity-type electrode of a second solar cell adjacent to the first solar cell in a first direction, to connect the first and second solar cells in series, and a first shield positioned on a front surface of the interconnector between the first and second solar cells, and extending in a second direction crossing the first direction.
