Abstract: A solar cell is provided that comprising a semiconductor substrate having a first conductivity type; a first semiconductor layer having the first conductivity type, and on a principal surface of the semiconductor substrate; an insulation layer on the first semiconductor layer; a protective layer on the insulation layer; and a second semiconductor layer having a second conductivity type, and on the semiconductor substrate and the protective layer. A recessed region is positioned at a lateral side of the insulation layer, the recessed region formed by recessing a side surface of the insulation layer inward from a side surface of the first semiconductor layer and a side surface of the protective layer, and the second semiconductor layer is positioned in the recessed region above the first semiconductor layer in the recessed region.

Abstract: A solar cell is equipped with: a wafer; an n-type laminated body that is provided on the first main surface side of the wafer; and a p-type laminated body, which is provided on the first main surface side of the wafer such that the p-type laminated body is adjacent to the n-type laminated body in the X direction, and which extends in the Y direction. The wafer has: a lightly doped region that is doped to be n type; and a plurality of first main surface-side highly doped regions, which have an n-type dopant concentration that is higher than that of the lightly doped region, and which are provided between the lightly doped region and the p-type laminated body. The first main surface-side highly doped regions are discretely provided at intervals in the Y direction.

Abstract: A solar cell module includes a plurality of solar cells. A plurality of finger electrodes for a first electrode are provided on a principal surface of a semiconductor substrate of the solar cell. A bus bar electrode for the first electrode is provided on the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate and is connected to the plurality of finger electrodes for the first electrode. The bus bar electrode for the first electrode extends beyond the semiconductor substrate toward an adjacent further solar cell. A portion of the bus bar electrode for the first electrode provided on the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate and a portion of the bus bar electrode for the first electrode extending beyond the semiconductor substrate are formed to be integrated with each other.

Abstract: A method of forming an electrode pattern includes: forming, on a base material, a seed layer having a pattern corresponding to the electrode pattern; forming an organic material layer on the seed layer; producing an electrode layer transfer sheet by forming an electrode layer on the organic material layer via an electroplating process using the seed layer as a seed; disposing the electrode layer transfer sheet on a substrate on which the electrode pattern is to be formed such that the electrode layer is in contact with the substrate and pressure bonding the electrode layer to the substrate; and in a state in which the electrode layer is pressure bonded to the substrate, removing the base material along with the organic material layer and the seed layer to transfer the electrode layer to the substrate.
