  • Publication number: 20120103401
    Abstract: A solar cell panel that is capable of preventing damage to the edge portions of the panel. The solar cell panel is provided with a pair of first protective ribs (103L, 103L), which are fixed to the back substrate, protrude outward from the edges of a solar cell module (2) and are disposed in an opposing manner, a pair of support ribs (3S, 3S), which are fixed to the back substrate and are disposed across the space between the pair of first protective ribs (103L, 103L) at positions distant from the edges of the back substrate, and a pair of second protective ribs (104P, 104P), which are disposed across the space between the pair of first protective ribs (103L, 103L) and protrude outward from the edges of the solar cell module (2).
