Abstract

A solar cell module has an outermost surface comprising a surface member on the light receiving face side of the solar cell module, a back face comprising a back face member on the non-light receiving face side of the solar cell module, and a photovoltaic element between the surface member and the back face member. The solar cell module is characterized in that it has a porous incombustible member having a structural strength between the photovoltaic element and the back face member. A solar cell-bearing roof and a solar cell power generation system in which the solar cell module is used are also disclosed.
