Provided is a method of manufacturing a photovoltaic solar cell, including: forming a first conductivity type region that contains a first conductivity dopant, on one surface of a semiconductor substrate and an opposite surface that is opposite to the one surface; removing the first conductivity type region formed on the opposite surface of the semiconductor substrate by performing dry etching; and forming a second conductivity type region that contains a second conductivity type dopant, on the opposite surface of the semiconductor substrate.
