A solar cell production method, whereby: a plurality of solar cell strings connecting a prescribed number of solar cells in series are formed; a plurality of solar cell strings are lined up along a second direction intersecting a first direction in which the solar cell strings extend, and the same are arranged such that the interval at one end of the first direction between adjacent solar cell strings is smaller than the interval at the other end; the arranged plurality of solar cell strings are connected to each other and a solar cell connection body is formed; a first filling material sheet, the solar cell connection body, a second filling material sheet, and a second protective member are laminated upon a first protective member having a curved surface; pressure is applied from above the second protective member; and a solar cell module having a curved surface shape is formed.
