There is disclosed a polycrystalline silicon solar cell, utilizing a continuous polycrystalline silicon film consisting of single crystals grown from a plurality of small nucleation surfaces provided on a non-nucleation surface. The semiconductor junction, providing the photoelectromotive force of the solar cell, is formed on the single crystals, avoiding the areas of grain boundaries formed by mutual contact of the single crystals, in order to eliminate the drawbacks resulting from such boundaries. The semiconductor junction is formed by masking the areas of the grain boundaries with a suitable masking material, such as photoresist.
