PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To completely remove or insulate by oxidizing the short-circulated part by Joule heat generated when the inverse voltage lower than withstand voltage is applied, in the case where a short-circuited part is formed between an electrode on the side of a substrate and the electrode on the back side pinching a semiconductor layer. SOLUTION: In a device described above, the voltage lower than the withstand voltage is applied in reverse direction to both positive and negative poles of a solar battery cell 12 in a solar battery 14 consisting of one or a plurality of solar battery cells 12 (12a to 12d), on which a first electrode layer 16 (16a to 16c), a semiconductor layer 18 (18a to 18c) and a second electrode layer 20 (20a to 20d) are successively formed on an insulated substrate 10, and a short-circuited part is removed. In this case, one or two kinds of application members selected from the application members 30 and 32 having a plurality of dot-like contacting parts, or the application members having a plurality of linear contacting parts, and the application member having one or a plurality of planar contacting parts, are brought into contact with the positive and the negative electrodes of the solar battery 12, respectively. |
