MULTI-JUNCTION COMPOUND SOLAR CELL, MULTI-JUNCTION COMPOUND SOLAR BATTERY, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

摘要

The purposes of the present invention are: to eliminate an electrode on a top cell of a multi-junction compound solar cell, said electrode blocking solar light; to provide a multi-junction compound solar cell having a structure that is not easily broken in manufacture steps; and to shorten a manufacture lead time of a multi-junction compound solar battery. A multi-junction compound solar cell has: a multi-junction cell laminate having the top cell and a bottom cell; a transparent electrode, which is disposed on the light incoming surface of the top cell; a lower electrode having potential of the bottom cell; and a side-surface electrode, which is disposed on the side surface of the solar cell with an insulating layer therebetween, and is electrically connected to the transparent electrode. In the multi-junction compound solar cell, the side-surface electrode is led out to the lower electrode.
