Abstract: A method of fabricating a solar cell with a connecting sheet includes a fixing step of bonding at least a portion of a peripheral region of a back electrode type solar cell (8) to a connecting sheet (10). A method of fabricating a solar cell module includes the step of sealing the solar cell with a connecting sheet obtained by the method on a transparent substrate (17) by a sealing material (18). A solar cell with a connecting sheet has a first adhesive arranged between a back electrode type solar cell (8) and a connecting sheet (10), and a second adhesive arranged at at least a portion of a peripheral region of the back electrode type solar cell (8) to bond a back electrode type solar cell (8) with a connecting sheet (10). A solar cell module has the solar cell with a connecting sheet sealed on a transparent substrate (17) by a sealing material (18).

Abstract: A solar battery string is provided that suppresses a lowering in the mounting density of solar battery cells, that can shorten manufacturing time, and that can prevent solar battery cells from being destroyed. The solar battery string (1) has a plurality of solar battery cells (2) and a circuit board (3). The solar battery cells (2) have a semiconductor substrate (10), which has an n-type conductivity region (10c) and, formed on the reverse face (10b) side of the semiconductor substrate, an n+-type conductivity region (10d) and p-type conductivity regions (10e and 10f). The circuit board electrically connects the n+-type conductivity region of a solar battery cell (2a) to the p-type conductivity regions (10e) of a solar battery cell (2b), and electrically connects the p-type conductivity regions (10f) of the solar battery cell (2a) to the n+-type conductivity region (10d) of the solar battery cell (2b).
