The invention discloses a
solar cell and a photovoltaic module, and relates to the field of photovoltaic technology,
doping is carried out on a light-facing surface of a
semiconductor substrate to form a first
semiconductor layer, and the first
semiconductor layer is provided with a first region and a second region; the
passivation layer at least covers one side, deviating from the semiconductor substrate, of the first semiconductor layer; a first
barrier layer and a first grid line, the first grid line is conductively connected with the first
barrier layer, and the first grid line and the first
barrier layer are arranged on one side, departing from the semiconductor substrate, of the first region; at least a part of the first barrier layer passes through the
passivation layer and is conductively connected with at least a part of the first region; the surface
doping concentration of the first region is a, the surface
doping concentration of the second region is b, and a / b is greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to 20; the
junction depth of the first region is c, the
junction depth of the second region is d, and c-d is larger than or equal to 0.2
micrometer and smaller than or equal to 4 micrometers. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the
solar cell is reduced while the power generation efficiency of the
solar cell is ensured.
