Abstract

A solar cell module, having a solar cell panel including a front-surface light-transmitting member, a rear-surface light-transmitting member, and a solar cell arranged between these members, and a terminal box for taking out an electric current from the solar cell panel, and further having a bus bar laid to transmit an electric current generated from the solar cell inside the solar cell panel through an end of the solar cell panel to a terminal plate inside the terminal box, wherein the terminal box is fitted to the panel in a manner so as to cover the end of the solar cell panel, through which the bus bar is passed, and further cover a light-receiving surface side region of the front-surface light-transmitting member, and a light-receiving surface side region of the rear-surface light-transmitting member, these regions being adjacent to the end.
