Abstract: Provided is a solar cell module which has a high anti-glare property and is capable of maintaining power output at a high level. In a solar cell module with a light-incident surface formed by laminating an antireflection film on a plate body made of glass, and a surface of the plate body is roughened. A substance for forming the antireflection film is introduced into a space formed in a crack situated slightly inside from the roughened surface. Formation of a layer of air in the crack is prevented to suppress reflection of light at a portion in which the crack is formed.

Abstract: A solar cell module with an anti-glare property, capable of exhibiting a high antifouling property. A surface of a plate body made of glass in the module is roughened, and an antireflection film is laminated thereon. A change point at which the slope of the contour line of the surface changes steeply exists on a cross-section cutting through the plate body in the thickness direction. With the change point as a boundary, straight lines obtained by pseudo-leveling of the contour lines existing within 0.7 micrometer on one side and 0.7 micrometer on another side, are a one-side pseudo-straight line and an other-side pseudo-straight line, respectively, a steep slope portion in which an angle formed by the pseudo-straight lines is 135 degrees or less, and a total number of less than 5 large cracks having an opening width of 0.2 micrometer or more are distributed per 58-micrometer compartment range.
