1. A method of recovering valuable materials from a photovoltaic module, the method comprising:
a loading step of loading a photovoltaic module (X) having a resin back sheet and a sealing resin layer on a heat-resistant porous molded body (A) with the back sheet surface facing down; and
a heating step of heating a load including the photovoltaic module (X) and the porous molded body (A) in a heating furnace in an oxidizing atmosphere to melt and then combust the resin components,
wherein a heat-resistant material (B) carrying a transition metal oxide is arranged in the heating furnace and the porous molded body (A) on which the photovoltaic module (X) is loaded is loaded on the heat-resistant material (B).
