A method for manufacturing a thin film solar cell is characterized by including a string formation step for forming a string of thin film photoelectric conversion elements which are electrically connected in series and each of which has a first electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer and a second electrode layer which are successively laminated on a surface of a translucent insulation substrate; a film removal step for removing the thin film photoelectric conversion element portion formed on the outer circumference of the surface of the translucent insulation substrate by a light beam to form a non-conductive surface region on the entire circumference; and a cleaning step for removing conductive extraneous matters generated in the film removal step and attached to the non-conductive surface region. |
