Solar cell module and method for manufacturing the same

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In a solar cell module having a rectangular shape in which a solar cell element is arranged between a translucent resin film and a metal reinforcement plate, and the solar cell element is sealed by the translucent resin, the improvement wherein bending of the two longer sides of the rectangle is conducted, and a structural member for increasing the structural strength of the solar cell module is arranged on at least one of the two shorter sides of the rectangle.
An amorphous silicon solar cell element formed on a flexible stainless substrate is desirably used as the solar cell element.
The bending should be conducted using a roller mold machine which bends the two longer sides of the rectangle while transporting the solar cell module by a pair of rotating rollers.
