A solar cell assembly includes a plurality of solar cells and an inter-cell region provided between adjacent ones of the solar cells included in the plurality of solar cells. Each of the solar cells and the inter-cell region includes: a semiconductor substrate having a first conductivity type and having a first main surface and a second main surface that face away from each other; a first amorphous semiconductor layer having a second conductivity type and being provided on a first main surface side of the semiconductor substrate; an insulating layer provided on part of the first amorphous semiconductor layer; and a first transparent conductive film provided on the first amorphous semiconductor layer so as to cover the insulating layer. In a plan view of the solar cell assembly, the insulating layer is provided along the inter-cell region and partially overlapping the inter-cell region.

Solar cell assembly and method of manufacturing solar cell

In a method of manufacturing a solar cell, a groove is formed on a first surface of an n-type semiconductor substrate. A p-side transparent conductive film layer is formed on the first surface of the n-type semiconductor substrate formed with the groove. A non-deposition area, where the p-side transparent conductive film layer is not formed, is formed in at least a part of a side surface of the groove formed on the first surface of the n-type semiconductor substrate.
