Abstract: This solar module has: a base member that is curved in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction; strings each constituted from a plurality of solar cells and first wiring members connecting adjacent solar cells in the vertical direction, wherein a plurality of the strings are arranged side by side on the base member; and a string group constituted from a plurality of the strings and second wiring members, which are disposed at both sides in the vertical direction of the strings and connected to the first wiring members, thereby connecting adjacent strings to one another in the horizontal direction. The string group is divided into at least two blocks that are side by side in the vertical direction. Second wiring members are disposed adjacent in the horizontal direction, or second wiring members are disposed adjacent in the vertical direction between the blocks, and are secured to one another.

Abstract: A detector detects a peak of a power value in a current-voltage characteristic curve to DC power output from a solar battery module. A setting device, when a plurality of peaks is detected, when a current value is greater than a threshold value in a first peak having a maximum voltage value of the plurality of peaks, sets an operation point based on the first peak. The setting device, when the current value in the first peak is equal to or less than the threshold value, sets the operation point based on a second peak in which the voltage value is less than that in the first peak and the current value is greater than the threshold value, of the plurality of peaks. A power regulator regulates output of the DC power of the solar battery module in accordance with the operation point set.

Abstract: A solar cell module comprising: a first protective member having a curved surface having a prescribed radius of curvature set in at least a first direction; a first filling material arranged upon the first protective member; a plurality of solar cell strings arranged in the first direction upon the first filling material and connected in parallel to each other; a second filling material arranged upon the solar cell strings; and a second protective member arranged upon the second filling material. The solar cell strings have connected in series a plurality of solar cells that are arranged in a second direction. The solar cells have end cross-sections along at least the first direction that have a waveform shape.
