A groove is cut along a line between adjacent solar cells of a wafer. A coating powder is processed to form a coating layer on the surface of the groove. The solar cells are thereafter physically separated from each other along the groove, with the coating layer serving as an edge coat. The solar cells are electrically connected in series and packaged in a solar module.
