This photovoltaic apparatus comprises a second groove for electrically isolating first and second back electrodes from each other, a third groove formed on a region located between a first groove and the second groove to cut at least an intermediate layer from the upper surface of the second back electrode, a first insulating member embedded in the third groove to cover at least a cut portion of the intermediate layer and a conductive member electrically connected to the first substrate electrode on a region located between the second and third grooves and electrically connected to the second back electrode across the third groove.
