A solar cell module in which the reduction in conversion efficiency is small, and a passive solar heating system using the solar cell module. The solar cell module has a solar cell covered with a filler. A back reinforcement member, the filler and a back insulating member larger than the solar cell are superposed on the non-light-receiving side of the solar cell. The back insulating member has openings corresponding to pierced portions of the solar cell module at which the solar cell module is affixed to a roof. A greater amount of clean energy is obtained with the system. The solar cell is used without any additional base to limit the reduction in the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell module which has improved long-term reliability of use when maintained in a fixed state, ensuring utilization of totally clean energy in an air heating type passive solar system, which can be used without requiring additional base, and which is capable of limiting the reduction in conversion efficiency due to heat. The inventors have made various studies to achieve this object and have found that a solar cell as described below is the most preferred. According to the present invention, a solar cell module is provided wherein a solar cell is covered with a filler, the solar cell module comprising a lamination in which a back reinforcement member, the filler, and a back insulating member larger than the solar cell are superposed in this order on the non-light-receiving side of the solar cell, the back insulating member having an opening corresponding to at least one pierced portion for fixing the solar cell module. There is also provided a passive solar system having the thus-constructed solar cell module. According to a further aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a passive solar system having the above-described solar cell module. Such passive solar system is one in which a vent layer is formed between a roof board and a roofing plate provided over the roof board and in which solar heat absorbed through the roofing plate is converted into a heated air flow. The solar system comprises a solar cell module having a solar cell covered with a filler, a back reinforcement member, and a back insulating member larger than said solar cell, said back reinforcement layer, said filler, and said back insulating member being superposed in this order on the non-light receiving side of the solar cell, and the back insulating member having an opening corresponding to at least one pierced portion for accommodating a fixing means for affixing the solar cell module. According to the solar cell module of the present invention, the advantages described below can be expected
