A method for manufacturing a solar module comprising the steps of: preparing a plurality of solar cells (20, 20a, 20b, 20c) having a first electrode and a second electrode on the same main surface and arranged so each first electrode and second electrode extends from one end to the other end in one direction; creating a solar cell string in which a plurality of solar cells (20, 20a, 20b, 20c) are connected electrically by using a resin adhesive to connect a wiring member (30, 30a, 30b) to a connection region other than the end portion of the first electrode of one solar cell in the one direction in order to electrically connect the wiring member to the first electrode of the one solar cell, while using a resin adhesive to connect the wiring member to a connection region other than the end portion of the second electrode of another solar cell in the one direction in order to electrically connect the wiring member to the second electrode of the other solar cell, such that the end portion of the first electrode and the end portion of the second electrode are not covered by the resin adhesive; cutting, when a defective solar cell has been discovered, a wiring member bonding the defective solar cell to the solar cells (20b, 20c) adjacent to the defective solar cell and removing the defective solar cell from the solar cell string, while leaving the cut wiring member (30a1) bonded to the solar cell (20b, 20c) adjacent to the defective solar cell; and electrically connecting the solar cells (20b, 20c) adjacent to the defective solar cell to a new solar cell using new wiring members (34a, 34b) to create a new solar cell string, each new wiring member (34a, 34b) being bonded using a resin adhesive to the end portion (21b, 22b) of the first electrode or of the second electrode, which was not covered by the resin adhesive, in a region, which was not covered by the resin adhesive, closer to the end than the cut end of the cut wiring member (30a1) having been bonded to the solar cell adjacent to the defective solar cell. preparing a plurality of solar cells (20, 20a, 20b, 20c) having a first electrode and a second electrode on the same main surface and arranged so each first electrode and second electrode extends from one end to the other end in one direction; creating a solar cell string in which a plurality of solar cells (20, 20a, 20b, 20c) are connected electrically by using a resin adhesive to connect a wiring member (30, 30a, 30b) to a connection region other than the end portion of the first electrode of one solar cell in the one direction in order to electrically connect the wiring member to the first electrode of the one solar cell, while using a resin adhesive to connect the wiring member to a connection region other than the end portion of the second electrode of another solar cell in the one direction in order to electrically connect the wiring member to the second electrode of the other solar cell, such that the end portion of the first electrode and the end portion of the second electrode are not covered by the resin adhesive; cutting, when a defective solar cell has been discovered, a wiring member bonding the defective solar cell to the solar cells (20b, 20c) adjacent to the defective solar cell and removing the defective solar cell from the solar cell string, while leaving the cut wiring member (30a1) bonded to the solar cell (20b, 20c) adjacent to the defective solar cell; and electrically connecting the solar cells (20b, 20c) adjacent to the defective solar cell to a new solar cell using new wiring members (34a, 34b) to create a new solar cell string, each new wiring member (34a, 34b) being bonded using a resin adhesive to the end portion (21b, 22b) of the first electrode or of the second electrode, which was not covered by the resin adhesive, in a region, which was not covered by the resin adhesive, closer to the end than the cut end of the cut wiring member (30a1) having been bonded to the solar cell adjacent to the defective solar cell.
