Abstract
A method for manufacturing a solar cell which simplifies the formation of a transparent electrode layer. The method includes forming conductive semiconductor layers on the back surface side of a substrate, forming a transparent conductive film on the conductive semiconductor layers, forming an uncured film of a metal electrode layer on the conductive semiconductor layers, patterning the transparent conductive film to form transparent electrode layers, and forming the metal electrode layers, in this order. In the metal electrode layer uncured film forming, a printing material is printed and dried to form the uncured film of the metal electrode layer; in the transparent electrode layer forming, the uncured film of the metal electrode layer is used as a mask to pattern the transparent conductive film; and in the metal electrode layer forming, the uncured film of the metal electrode layer is fired and cured to form the metal electrode layers.
