PURPOSE:To prevent the short circuit between an end electrode and a proximity electrode and increase the output per substrate area by a method wherein a plurality of solar battery units consisting of clear electrode layers, semiconductor layers, and metallic electrode layers are provided on a common insulation transparent substrate, and, when these adjacent electrodes are connected into a series circuit, the part other than end electrodes provided at both ends of the substrate is covered with a heat resistant insulation layer. CONSTITUTION:Discrete clear electrodes 2 corresponding to each unit are formed on the common glass substrate 1, and the semiconductor layers 3 respectively made of amorphous Si are provided said electrodes. Next, the metallic electrode layers 41 are adhered on these layers, one end of said electrode is extended to the side surface of the layer 3, and this end is connected to the electrode 2, resulting in the formation of the solar battery 10 of the series circuit. Thereafter, all the parts other than the end metallic electrodes 5 provided at both ends of the substrate 1 are covered with the heat resistant insulation layer 6, thus preventing the short circuit between the electrodes 5 and 41. Thus, the area of the substrate 1 is effectively utilized. |
