1. A solar cell module including:
a solar cell panel;
a frame positioned around an outer peripheral portion of the solar cell panel having an extension unit adjacent to an upper end portion of the solar cell panel; and
a distributing box electrically connected to the solar cell panel and mounted on the upper end portion of the rear side of the solar cell panel by the extension unit of the frame,
wherein the distributing box includes a circuit unit including a circuit board, a case accommodating the circuit unit and having a residual empty space beside the circuit unit and consisting of air, and an air discharge member mounted on the case, connecting the residual empty space to the outside, to enable the air to flow inside and outside the residual empty space,
wherein the air discharge member comprises:
a fixing unit having a portion outside the case that is fixed from a side surface of the case to an upper end portion of the case,
a cover unit fixed to the fixing unit and positioned outside the case, and
a membrane having pores that is mounted on a position of the fixing unit and formed between the fixing unit and the cover unit,
wherein the cover unit comprises a front end part formed to be parallel to the membrane and a plurality of extension parts that are partially extended from the front end part toward the fixing unit, such that an air flow path is formed between the plurality of extension parts,
wherein the fixing unit includes a fixing part having an extension part which is extended to the inside of the case by passing through a through-hole, which is a burring hole in the case, and an engagement structure, which is engaged with an inner surface of the through-hole and an outer surface of the extension part,
wherein a close contact member is positioned between the case and the fixing unit, surrounding the extension part, to block a gap while being deformed.
