Abstract
Imperfect filling sometimes occurs when a conductive material is filled into a through-hole formed on a solar cell. A method of manufacturing a solar cell of the invention employs a support wherein a conductive material is filled into a through-hole. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress occurrence of imperfect filling and thereby provide a method of manufacturing a solar cell with enhanced reliability. Moreover, a flat surface is provided on a solar cell of the present invention when a connector electrode is formed on a through-hole and this enables enhanced connection reliability.
