Abstract
A solar cell lead wire includes a conductive material, and a solder plated layer on a periphery of the conductive material. The solder plated layer is formed flat by rolling. A method of manufacturing a solar cell lead wire includes feeding an elongate conductive material from a feed reel, the elongate conductive material including a rectangular conductor or a round conductor, soaking the conductive material in a molten solder in a molten solder plating bath, cooling the conductive material to have a plated wire with a solder plated layer formed on the conductive material, and winding the plated wire on a winding reel. The plated wire is formed flat by rolling after the solder plated layer of the plated wire is solidified by the cooling.
