Abstract

A solar cell includes: a photoelectric converter in which a first electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a second electrode layer are stacked on a substrate in order; and a texture layer that is disposed between the substrate and the first electrode layer, made of a transparent material in a visible light region, and has a continuous irregular configuration on a face that is in touch with the first electrode layer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a solar cell and a method for manufacturing the solar cell. [0002] This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-235067 for which it applied in Japan on September 12, 2008, and takes in the content here. Background technique [0003] In recent years, from the viewpoint of efficient use of energy, solar cells have been widely used. Silicon-based solar cells such as silicon solar cells using monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon solar cells using polycrystalline silicon layers, and amorphous silicon solar cells using amorphous silicon are known as such solar cells. [0004] For example, a silicon-based solar cell is composed of a surface electrode formed on a glass substrate as a transparent electrode and a photoelectric converter formed by laminating a semiconductor layer (photoelectric conversion layer) made of silicon on the surface electrode. The back electrode is made o...
