Abstract: A thin film photovoltaic cell has an insulating substrate divided into a plurality of unit cells by alternately forming patterning lines in layers stacked on two faces of the insulating substrate; a rear face electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a transparent electrode layer stacked in order on one face of the insulating substrate accordingly; and a back face electrode layer deposited on the other face of the insulating substrate. The photovoltaic cell further has a first penetrating hole penetrating the insulating substrate to electrically connect the transparent electrode layer and the back face electrode layer; a second penetrating hole penetrating the insulating substrate to electrically connect the rear face electrode layer and the back face electrode layer; and a transparent electrode layer removal portion in which the transparent electrode layer at least in a region surrounding the second penetrating hole is removed by an ultraviolet pulsed laser.

By using a laser to remove a transparent electrode on the periphery of the second penetrating hole in the region in which the protective layer is formed, the two electrode layers are electrically insulated.

Abstract: A thin-film photovoltaic cell includes a rear-face electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a transparent electrode layer stacked in order on one face of an insulating substrate. A first back-face electrode layer and a second back-face electrode layer are stacked in order on the other face of the insulating substrate. Further, the transparent electrode layer and the second back-face electrode layer are electrically connected to each other via first through holes passing through the insulating substrate, and the rear-face electrode layer and the first back-face electrode layer are electrically connected to each other via second through holes passing through the insulating substrate. In accordance with the present invention, the transparent electrode layer around the second through holes is separated by grooves, and the transparent electrode layer and the second back-face electrode layer are electrically insulated from each other.
