Claim Text:
1. A solar cell module comprising: a plurality of solar cell elements that have electricity generation layers, including semiconductor materials and absorbing incident light so as to generate photovoltaic power, and electrodes made of conductive materials containing metals and provided on surfaces of the electricity generation layers; a tab wire that connects the electrodes of the plurality of solar cell elements; and a resin portion that is provided on surfaces of solar cell elements and that bonds the tab wire and the solar cell elements to each other, wherein: an adhesion area and a non-adhesion area are alternately arranged on the surfaces of the solar cell elements along the tab wire, in the adhesion area, the resin portion is provided between the tab wire and the surfaces of the solar cell elements around the electrodes, and in the non-adhesion area, the resin portion is not provided between the tab wire and the surfaces of the solar cell elements around the electrodes and the tab wire is directly in contact with the electrodes.
