This invention provides a light-weight laminate, which can withstand heat treatment in a battery production process and, at the same time, has practically satisfactory durability, and a solar battery using the laminate. The laminate comprises a glass plate having a first surface and a second surface, an electroconductive film provided on the first surface of the glass plate, and a photoactive layer provided on the electroconductive film. The laminate is characterized in that the glass plate is formed of a glass having a distortion point of 400 DEG C or above and a thickness of 10 mu m to 2.2 mm, and a resin is provided on the second surface of the glass plate. The solar battery is characterized in that it comprises: a laminate comprising a glass plate having a first surface and a second surface, an electroconductive film provided on the first surface of the glass plate, and a photoactive layer provided on the electroconductive film; a light transparent base material; a transparent electrode provided on one side of the light transparent base material; and an electrolysis solution sealed between the laminate and the transparent electrode, the glass plate is formed of a glass having a distortion point of 400 DEG C or above and a thickness of 10 mu m to 2.2 mm, and a resin is provided on the second surface of the glass plate.
