<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly reliable thin film solar battery that ensures a required insulating breakdown voltage property by a simple method, and to provide a method of manufacturing the same. <P>SOLUTION: The method includes: a string forming step for forming a string S1 of thin film photoelectric conversion elements 5 which are electrically connected in series and each of which has a first electrode layer 2, a photoelectric conversion layer 3, and a second electrode layer 4 which are successively layered on the surface of a translucent insulation substrate 1; a film removal step which removes the thin film photoelectric conversion portion formed on the outer circumference of the surface of the translucent insulation substrate 1 by a light beam and forms a non-conductive surface region 8 on the entire circumference; and a cleaning step which removes conductive foreign matters generated in the film removal step and attached to the non-conductive surface region 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
