The application relates to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly discloses a
solar cell and a preparation method thereof. The
solar cell comprises a
silicon substrate, the
silicon substrate comprises a front surface and a back surface, the front surface comprises a first
laser contact area, a second
laser contact area and a third
laser contact area, the first laser contact area and the third laser contact area are alternately and spacedly arranged on the front surface of the
silicon substrate; the second laser contact area and the first laser contact area are overlapped in a vertical direction, the width of the second laser contact area is smaller than that of the first laser contact area, the front surface further comprises a front surface
metal electrode, the front surface
metal electrode is in contact with the second laser contact area, and the
crystallization rate of the second laser contact area is higher than that of a non-overlapping area in the first laser contact area. The
solar cell has the advantages that the
contact resistance of the
metal grid line is reduced through gradient
crystallization treatment, filling
gain is brought, and the
photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar
cell is further improved.
