SOLAR CELL, SOLAR CELL MODULE, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SOLAR CELL, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SOLAR CELL MODULE

摘要

[Problem] An object of the present invention is to improve conversion efficiency of a solar cell and to reduce a manufacturing cost of the solar cell. [Solution] An electrode layer formation step of forming an electrode layer including the first electrode and a removal-target body on a first main surface side of a photoelectric conversion part; an insulating layer formation step of forming an insulating layer so as to cover at least the removal-target body; an opening formation step of forming an opening in the insulating layer by utilizing the removal-target body; and a metal layer formation step of forming a metal layer on the electrode layer through the opening of the insulating layer by a plating method are performed in this order. In the opening formation step, at least a part of the removal-target body is removed by irradiation by a laser beam, so that the opening of the insulating layer is formed.
