SOLAR CELL, SOLAR CELL MODULE USING SOLAR CELL, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR SOLAR CELL

摘要

The present invention is to grant a margin in the control of a depth of a groove when removing a transparent insulation layer after the transparent insulation layer is formed on the entire surface of the transparent conductive layer, thereby provide a solar cell which has superior productivity in mass manufacturing. A solar cell includes an n-type amorphous silicon layer 11 formed on a front-surface side of an n-type monocrystalline silicon the substrate 10; a front-surface side transparent conductive layer 12 formed on the n-type amorphous silicon layer 11; a p-type amorphous silicon layer 13 formed on a rear-surface-side of the substrate 10; and a rear-surface-side transparent conductive layer 14 formed on the p-type amorphous silicon layer 13. A front-surface side collector electrode 30 is formed by plating on the front-surface side transparent conductive layer 12 whereas a rear-surface-side collector electrode 4 is formed on the rear-surface-side transparent conductive layer 14 by printing.
