Abstract

A thin film solar cell module is disclosed. The thin film solar cell module includes a substrate and a plurality of cells each including a first electrode positioned on the substrate, a second electrode positioned on the first electrode, and a photoelectric transformation layer positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode. The plurality of cells are divided into a first group and a second group. A plurality of cells included in the first group are electrically connected in series to one another, and a plurality of cells included in the second group are electrically connected in series to one another. The first group and the second group are connected in parallel to each other using a lead wire. The lead wire is positioned on both the first group and the second group.
