A thin film solar cell comprises a metal rear surface electrode layer formed on a substrate, a p-type CZTS light-absorbing layer formed on the electrode layer, an n-type high-resistance buffer layer containing a zinc compound as a material and formed on the p-type CZTS light-absorbing layer, and an n-type transparent electroconductive film formed on the n-type high-resistance buffer layer. When the Cu-Zn-Sn composition ratio (atom ratio) of the p-type CZTS light-absorbing layer is represented by coordinates with the Cu/(Zn+Sn) ratio shown on the horizontal axis and the Zn/Sn ratio shown on the vertical axis, the ratio is within the region formed by connecting point A (0.825, 1.108), point B (1.004, 0.905), point C (1.004, 1.108), point E (0.75, 1.6), and point D (0.65, 1.5), and the Zn/Sn ratio of the p-type CZTS light-absorbing layer surface in the n-type high-resistance buffer layer is 1.11 or less. |
