ABSTRACT:
A solar cell module60has a plurality of solar cells14having a plurality of parallel grooves8on the individual light-receiving surfaces thereof, each of the grooves having an electrode5for extracting output on the inner side face (electrode-forming inner side face) on one side in the width-wise direction thereof; and a support10, 50for supporting the solar cells14in an integrated manner so as to direct the light-receiving surfaces upward. The annual power output can be increased by adjusting the direction of arrangement of the electrode-forming inner side faces of the grooves8while taking the angle of inclination β of the light-receiving surface of the individual as-installed solar cells14relative to the horizontal plane and the latitude δ of the installation site of the solar cell module into consideration.
