A solar cell (51) includes a light transmissive substrate (1), a supporting substrate (2), a photoelectric conversion part (5) and a counter electrode (6) disposed between the light transmissive substrate and the supporting substrate in such a manner that they are spaced from each other; an electrolyte part (7) disposed between the light transmissive substrate (1) and the supporting substrate (2) while being in contact with the photoelectric conversion part (5) and the counter electrode (6), and a sealing part (4) that surrounds and seals the electrolyte part (7) in such a manner that the electrolyte part (7) is retained within an electrolyte disposition region that is definable by a long axis and a short axis. First openings (8a, 8b) that make the electrolyte part (7) communicate with the outside are provided at least in one end part in the direction of the long axis in the electrolyte disposition region, and at least one second opening (9) that makes the electrolyte part (7) communicate with the outside is provided in the middle part in the direction of the long axis in the electrolyte disposition region. The first and second openings (8a, 8b, 9) are sealed. |
