A solar-cell module having a photovoltaic device, a reinforcing sheet for reinforcing the photovoltaic device and a covering material which seals the photovoltaic device on the reinforcing sheet is bent at a region between the border of the photovoltaic device and the outer edge of the reinforcing sheet, where the reinforcing sheet is covered with the covering material at the part extending from the border of the photovoltaic device up to the bent portion closest thereto, or the covering material is, at the margin thereof, made to have a thickness cross-sectionally smaller as it extends farther from the border of the photovoltaic device, provided that the reinforcing sheet is not covered at the outward margin thereof with the covering material. The covering material which covers the photovoltaic device of the solar-cell module is peel-resistant.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A solar cell module comprising:a photovoltaic device;a reinforcing sheet for reinforcing the photovoltaic device the reinforcing sheet having a bent portion in a region extending from a border of the photovoltaic device on a photovoltaic device mounting area to a margin of the reinforcing sheet;a covering material for sealing the photovoltaic device on the reinforcing sheet, wherein the covering material covers the photovoltaic device and extends from the border of the photovoltaic device toward the margin of the reinforcing sheet in such a way as to extend over the bent portion and not over the margin of the reinforcing sheet and wherein a thickness of the covering material becomes cross-sectionally smaller in a direction toward the margin of the reinforcing sheet at a portion of the covering material near the margin of the reinforcing sheet; anda resin film provided on an outermost surface of the solar cell module in such a way as to cover the covering material except the portion of the covering material near the margin of the reinforcing sheet in which the thickness of the covering material becomes cross-sectionally smaller in a direction toward the margin of the reinforcing sheet.
