This metal substrate for a dye-sensitized solar cell (2) includes a clad material including a nonporous first metal layer (21), arranged on an anode side of a dye-sensitized solar cell element (1), made of a metal having corrosion resistance against an electrolyte (14) of the dye-sensitized solar cell element and a second metal layer (22) made of a metal having lower electrical resistance than the first metal layer and bonded to a side of the first metal layer opposite to the dye-sensitized solar cell element.
