Abstract
A solar cell capable of preventing short-circuiting during signaling connection and a method for manufacturing the solar cell. A solar cell includes a semiconductor substrate, a first semiconductor layer having a conductivity type different from that of the semiconductor substrate. The first semiconductor layer includes a main functional portion which has a first base end portion on one side in a first direction of the semiconductor substrate over an entire length in a second direction and a plurality of first collecting portions extending from the first base end portion toward the other side in the first direction and on which a first electrode pattern is stacked, and an isolation portion which is formed linearly at an end portion on the other side in the first direction of the semiconductor substrate over an entire length in the second direction and on which the first electrode pattern is not stacked.
