The present invention provides: a solar cell module installation structure enabling safe installation on a wall surface of a building; a house; and a solar cell module.　A support member has a support surface extending substantially in a vertical direction. The support member also has a locking piece comprising a locking part facing the support surface with a gap therebetween and extending upward, and a connection part connecting the locking part and the support surface. The solar cell module has a frame member comprising: a holding recess for clamping a part of a body panel of the solar cell module while being in contact with a light receiving surface and a back surface of the body panel; and a mounting part provided on the back surface side, having higher stiffness than the body panel, and extending in the vertical direction with a length greater than or equal to one-half of one side of the body panel. The mounting part has a mounting-side engagement part in a lower end thereof in the vertical direction comprising a notch having a depth extending upward. The support member is configured to support the solar cell module so as to be inclinable at more than or equal to 10 degrees with respect to the support surface with the locking part inserted into the mounting-side engagement part.
