PURPOSE:To obtain a solar battery which has high conversion efficiency by aligning many solar batteries of rod shape in which rodlike articles having good conductivity on the side faces are as one electrodes, light active semiconductor layers are formed on the side faces and transparent conductive layers are laminated thereon, in parallel. CONSTITUTION:A rodlike substrate of good conductivity at least on the front surface is used, and a light active amorphous silicon semiconductor layer 3 is formed substantially on the entire periphery of the side face. A transparent conductive layer 4 is laminated on the layer 3. The solar batteries thus formed are collected in a flat plate shape. In other words, many rodlike solar batteries of basic units in which the semiconductor layer 3, a transparent conductive layer 4 and, as required, a good conductive layer 5 are formed on each substrate 1, are aligned in parallel with each other, and paired electrode layer 7 is formed on one surface (back surface on which no solar light is emitted) so as to electrically contact with the layer 4. |
