PURPOSE:To manufacture a thin film solar cell connecting solar cells serially out of a solar cell structure laminated on a strip of an insulating substrate corresponding with desired voltage. CONSTITUTION:A transparent second electrode layer 4 on a surface of a lamination of a solar cell structure is connected with a third electrode layer 5 at the back side of a substrate through holes 13 arranged at uniform pitches in the direction of the length of the substrate, the laminations are isolated at the range containing number of the though holes in reverse proportion of number of serially connected, at the adjoining region with an isolating groove between them the first electrode layer 2 is connected through the through holes 13 of the substrate or through a conductor contacting the side of the substrate with the third electrode layer 5 and the third electrode layer 5 is isolated. Another method of forming through holes to connect the first electrode layer 2 with the third electrode layer 5 is to arrange them with the uniform pitches with the through holes 13 to connect the second electrode layer 4 with the third electrode layer 5 beforehand and then to remove them leaving the necessary through holes. |
