1. A tandem solar battery comprising:
a pair of solar battery modules each of which has
at least one solar battery panel in which a solar battery cell is formed,
a flexible substrate which is directly or indirectly connected to the at least one solar battery panel, on which a bypass diode is mounted, and which forms a bypass line of the at least one solar battery panel, and
a package which accommodates the at least one solar battery panel,
wherein the flexible substrate includes
a base material, and
a wiring which is supported by the base material,
wherein the wiring includes
a flying lead which protrudes from the base material and is connected to the at least one solar battery panel, and
a terminal which is provided on an outward side of the package,
wherein the pair of solar battery modules include a first solar battery module and a second solar battery module,
wherein the at least one solar battery panel of the first solar battery module includes a bottom solar battery panel,
wherein the at least one solar battery panel of the second solar battery module includes a top solar battery panel which is laminated at a position facing a light receiving surface of the bottom solar battery panel, and
wherein the top solar battery panel is larger than the bottom solar battery panel and overlaps the bottom solar battery panel in its entirety in a plan view.
