A solar cell (16) is provided with: an n-type single crystal silicon substrate (22); an n-type amorphous silicon layer (26) disposed on a first main surface of the n-type single crystal silicon substrate (22); a light receiving surface electrode (28) disposed on the n-type amorphous silicon layer (26); a p-type amorphous silicon layer (32) disposed on a second main surface of the n-type single crystal silicon substrate (22); and a rear surface electrode (34) disposed on the p-type amorphous silicon layer (32). The n-type single crystal silicon substrate (22) has a resistivity within a range of 3.5-13 Ωcm. An i-type amorphous silicon layer (24) may be provided between the n-type single crystal silicon substrate (22) and the n-type amorphous silicon layer (26), and another i-type amorphous silicon layer (30) may be provided between the n-type single crystal silicon substrate (22) and the p-type amorphous silicon layer (32).
