Heterojunction cell piece has symmetric double-sided cell structure, and the middle is N type crystalline silicon. The front surface of the heterojunction cell piece is sequentially deposited intrinsic amorphous silicon film and P type amorphous silicon film, thereby forming P-N junction;The back surface of the heterojunction cell piece is sequentially deposited intrinsic amorphous silicon film and N type amorphous silicon film to form a back surface field.
