Abstract

A solar cell module which comprises a photovoltaic element string comprising a plurality of photovoltaic elements electrically connected with each other by means of an electric connection material, said photovoltaic element string being sealed by a sealing material, wherein when an area of one (a) of said plurality of photovoltaic elements is represented by A and a sum of clearances areas between said photovoltaic element (a) and adjacent photovoltaic elements (b) situated next to said photovoltaic element (a) is represented by B, the area ratio of B/A is in a range of 0.003 to 0.045. A process for producing a solar cell module using said photovoltaic element string by a vacuum lamination method.
