A solar cell module 60 has a plurality of solar cells 14 having
a
plurality of parallel grooves 8 on the individual light-receiving surfaces
thereof, each of the grooves having an electrode 5 for extracting output
on the inner side face (electrode-forming inner side face) on one side in the width-wise
direction thereof; and a support 10, 50 for supporting the solar cells 14
in 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 grooves 8 while taking
the angle of inclination of the light-receiving surface of the individual
as-installed solar cells 14 relative to the horizontal plane and the latitude
of the installation site of the solar cell module into consideration.
