(US5782994-A)      The solar cell module includes a surface covering material on the light receiving side of a solar cell element. The covering material includes a light transmitting resin in contact with an outer light transmitting surface protection film. The covering material displays a required indicating pattern on the light-receiving side of the solar cell element, with a patterned surface region which indicates the required display pattern and is adjacent to a differently patterned surface region of the covering material. Pref. the display indicating surface patterned region is a recessed or protruded surface pattern.    Both patterned surface regions of the covering material may have an uneven surface with small irregularities, in different patterns, or the non-display part of the indicator may have a plane surface. The display indicator is pref. formed by a sheet attached by thermocompression to the covering material resin.    USE -   Indicates positive or negative terminal of module or module's owner; suitable for building roof installation.    ADVANTAGE -   Maintains power generation efficiency.
