1. A solar cell module installation structure comprising:
a solar cell module; and
a support member that installs the solar cell module on a wall surface of a building,
wherein the support member includes a support surface and a locking piece,
the support surface spreading out substantially in a vertical direction,
the locking piece including:
a locking part that extends upward and faces the support surface with an interval therebetween; and
a connection part that connects the locking part to the support surface,
wherein the solar cell module includes a main body panel and a frame member,
the frame member including a holding recess and a mounting part,
the holding recess sandwiching a part of the main body panel, thereby being in contact with a light receiving surface and a back surface of the main body panel,
wherein the mounting part is provided on a back surface side of the main body panel,
the mounting part having rigidity higher than rigidity of the main body panel, extending vertically with a length longer than or equal to one half of a length of a side of the body panel,
wherein the mounting part includes a mounting-side engagement part,
the mounting-side engagement part being a notch having a depth in an upward direction, provided at a lower end part of the mounting part in the vertical direction, and
wherein the locking part of the support member is inserted into the mounting-side engagement part to support the solar cell module in a tiltable manner with an inclination angle more than or equal to 10 degrees with respect to the support surface.
