Patent ID: 7803651

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a solar cell module including first and second solar cells and a wiring member configured to connect the first and second solar cells to one another, the method comprising: a step A of forming a plurality of thin line-shaped electrodes and a connecting electrode on a photoelectric conversion part of each of the first and second solar cells, the connecting electrode being to be connected to one end portion of each of the plurality of thin line-shaped electrodes; a step B of disposing a transparent resin layer on a blanket of a printing press; a step C of transferring the resin layer onto the photoelectric conversion part of each of the first and second solar cells by pressing the blanket against the photoelectric conversion part; and a step D of connecting the wiring member to the connecting electrode of each of the first and second solar cells, wherein in the step B, a plurality of concave portions are formed in the resin layer along an outer edge of the connecting electrode, and in the step C, each of the plurality of concave portions is disposed at the one end portion of each of the plurality of thin line-shaped electrodes.
