Abstract: A solar cell module includes a resin first protective layer being light transmissive, a second protective layer, a solar cell portion, a resin first filler layer, a resin second filler layer, a substrate, and an adhesive layer. The solar cell portion includes solar cell elements between the protective layers. The first filler layer facing the first protective layer covers the solar cell elements. The second filler layer facing the second protective layer covers the solar cell elements. The adhesive layer bonds the second protective layer and the substrate. The first protective layer is softer than the substrate. One or more of the second filler layer, the second protective layer, and the adhesive layer have a higher Young's modulus than the first filler layer.
