[Problem] To provide a photovoltaic element, solar cell module, photovoltaic power generation system, and photovoltaic element manufacturing method. [Solution] A photovoltaic element 10 is provided with: a crystalline silicon substrate 12 of one conductivity type (n type); an amorphous n-type silicon layer 16 of the one conductivity type, said layer being laminated on a first main surface 12a of the silicon substrate 12; a first transparent conductive film 18 laminated on the n-type silicon layer 16; an amorphous p-type silicon layer 24 of the other conductivity-type (p type), said layer being laminated on a second main surface 12b of the silicon substrate 12; and a second transparent conductive film 26 laminated on the p-type silicon layer 24. The photovoltaic element is characterized in that: the second transparent conductive film 26 is provided in a region further toward the inner side than a peripheral end of a main surface of the p-type silicon layer 24; a collecting electrode 20 is provided on the first transparent conductive film 18; and a rear surface electrode 28 is provided on the second transparent conductive film 26. |
