Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a solar cell, an emitter layer is formed on a front surface of a substrate, a rear surface protective layer is formed on the emitter layer, and a plurality of recesses is formed in the rear surface protective layer. Then, a front electrode is formed on the emitter layer, and a rear surface electrode layer is formed on the rear surface protective layer. A substrate is heated to form a rear surface electric field layer. Since a portion of the rear surface protective layer is removed when the recesses are formed, the substrate may be prevented from being damaged, and thus photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell may be improved.
