PURPOSE:To allow stabilized formation of a photovoltaic element having high mechanical strength and equipped with a low resistance current collecting electrode. CONSTITUTION:In the method for forming a photovoltaic element wherein a linear current collection electrode comprising at least two conductive layers is formed on the electrode forming face (photoelectric conversion layer or transparent conductive layer), a first conductive layer is formed in linear pattern on the electrode forming face using a conductive paste. A second conductive pattern wider than the linear pattern is then formed using a low melting point metal exhibiting wettability not for the electrode forming face but for the first conductive layer. The second conductive layer is then thermally fused while inclining in the longitudinal direction of the linear pattern thus forming a low melting point metal layer having uniform shape. |
