The invention discloses lead-free glass powder, a preparation method thereof, silver paste containing the glass powder and a crystal silicon solar cell manufactured by using the silver paste. The lead-free glass powder comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 20-30 percent of SiO2, 2-15 percent of B2O3, 40-70 percent of Bi2O3, 1-10 percent of ZnO, 1-10 percent of Al2O3 and 1-5 percent of BaO. The preparation method comprises the following steps of: (1) weighing the components for preparing a mixture; (2) putting the mixture into a crucible for melting; (3) performing water quenching on molten glass; (4) drying; (5) smashing the mixture into powder by planetary ball milling; and (6) screening. The needed silver paste is prepared from the lead-free glass powder, silver powder, an additive and an organic carrier. A solar panel front face electrode and a grid line are manufactured by performing screen printing and sintering on conductive silver paste on a cell substrate, so that the needed solar cell is obtained. The lead-free glass powder has low melting temperature, low softening temperature and low linear expansion factor.
