(JP2000150944-A)   NOVELTY - A thin film solar cell module comprises: a first electrode layer (2), a semiconductor layer (4), and a second electrode layer (6), which are deposited on a substrate (1) and at least part of which is worked to partition these layers into a number of cells which are electrically connected with each other and sealed with an encapsulant (9); at least part of at least one of these layers which is located at the periphery of the substrate is removed by mechanical means or by laser beam.    USE - Solar cell module.    ADVANTAGE - Solar cell module excellent in dielectric strength, which can be manufactured by making use of very simple process. It is possible to obtain a solar cell module which is free from deterioration of power-generating property due to a corrosion after sealing and which can be manufactured with high productivity.
