Abstract

In this solar battery cell string, a plurality of solar battery cells (20) arranged along a first direction (D1) are electrically connected by inter-cell wiring (32). The inter-cell wiring (32) comprises a first wiring part (31) extending in the first direction (D1), and a second wiring part (32) connected to the first wiring part (31) and extending in a second direction (D2), and is disposed at least between the solar battery cells (20) adjacent to each other in the first direction (D1). The first wiring part (31) is connected to an electrode of the solar battery cell (20). The second wiring part (32) is provided so as to be longer than the length of the solar battery cell (20) in the second direction (D2) and shorter than 1.5 times the length of the solar battery cell (20) in the second direction (D2), and at least one end (321, 322) of the second wiring part in the second direction (D2) extends more than the solar battery cell (20).
