Abstract: In a solar module of the present invention, the ratio (T2/T1) of a thickness (T2) of a rear surface-side filling material layer at the end surface to a thickness (T1) of a rear surface-side filling material layer in a region where a solar cell (22) is provided is set smaller than the ratio (T4/T3) of a thickness (T4) of a light receiving surface-side filling material layer at the end surface to a thickness (T3) of the light receiving surface-side filling material layer in a region where the solar cell is provided. Consequently, entry of water into a filling material layer from the end surface of the filling material layer is effectively suppressed, and improved humidity resistance is achieved.
