NOVELTY - Making solar cell module involves pressing first silicone gel sheet (3) provided on sunlight receiving surface of solar cell string (5) and second silicone gel sheet provided on opposite side sunlight non-receiving surface of the string in vacuum; disposing the sunlight receiving surface side on one surface of transparent light receiving panel, or disposing the sunlight non-receiving surface side on one surface of light non-receiving panel or back sheet; and laying both panels or back sheet over each other with the silicone gel sheet-encapsulated solar cell string, and pressing them.    USE - For manufacturing a solar cell module (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method ensures a vacuum laminator, which is an equipment used for manufacturing a solar cell module using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) films in the related art, can be employed in carrying out a step of encapsulating a solar cell string between silicone gel sheets and a step of encapsulating the silicone gel sheets (with the solar cell element encapsulated between them) between a light receiving panel and a light non-receiving panel or back sheet. The solar cell module is manufactured without preparing a liquid silicone applying device.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Manufacturing a solar cell module involves pressing first silicone gel sheet (3) provided on sunlight receiving surface of solar cell string (5) and second silicone gel sheet provided on opposite side sunlight non-receiving surface of the solar cell string in vacuum to encapsulate the solar cell string with the first and second silicone gel sheets; disposing the sunlight receiving surface side of the first silicone gel sheet on one surface of transparent light receiving panel which is to be sunlight incidence surface and disposing butyl rubber in picture frame-like shape along outer peripheral portion of the first silicone gel sheet, or disposing the sunlight non-receiving surface side of the second silicone gel sheet on one surface of light non-receiving panel or back sheet which is to be sunlight non-incidence side and disposing butyl rubber in picture frame-like shape along outer peripheral portion of the second silicone gel sheet; and laying the light receiving panel and the light non-receiving panel or back sheet over each other with the silicone gel sheet-encapsulated solar cell string on the inside, and pressing them at 100-150 degrees C in vacuum to press bond the light receiving panel and the light non-receiving panel or back sheet to each other through the butyl rubber.
