The solar cell module has a pore in the region (R) directly below the wiring material.

Light receiving elements of a back connection type including first and second electrodes on their back sides are connected by an inter-element connecting body including a tabular main body section and an inter-element connecting section to form a light receiving element module. The main body section is selectively directly connected to the first electrode and arranged on the second electrode via an insulating layer. The main body section covers substantially the entire back side of each of the light receiving elements excluding a part of the second electrode. The second electrode is connected to the inter-element connecting section of an adjacent light receiving element. The main body section forms a reflecting section between the main body section and the light receiving element to enable reflected light to be made incident on the light receiving element from a gap between the first and second electrodes.
