Abstract
The solar cell module of the present invention comprises a solar cell device sealed with a sealing material between a support member and a protective film, wherein at least one of the protective film and the sealing material covers the edge of the support member. The above structure can prevent the sealing material from peeling from the edge of the solar cell module. Also, it can prevent rust from occurring at the edge when the support member is a steel sheet. Further, it can prevent the peeling by a simpler step than in the case of use of the conventional protective member for prevention of peeling.
