PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photovoltaic element having a high photoelectric conversion efficiency at a low cost. SOLUTION: In the photovoltaic element having a first transparent conductive layer 103 on a support substrate 101, a semiconductor layer having an n-, i- and p-type semiconductor layer laminated in this order thereon as an nip type, and second transparent conductive layer 108 formed thereon, the n-type semiconductor layer of the nip-type laminated semiconductor layer is composed of an amorphous semiconductor layer 104 and microcrystal semiconductor layer 105 having a microcrystal volume ratio of 3-75% and the i-type semiconductor layer is formed from a microcrystal layer. |
