Abstract: A method for producing a solar battery cell which hardly causes an electric short circuit at the cut end surface of a solar battery element is provided. A method for producing a solar battery cell in which a solar battery cell is obtained from an elongated solar battery element including an elongated flexible base material, a first electrode layer, a light absorbing layer, and a second electrode layer in this order, and the method includes a partial removal step of forming one or more partial removal portion each extending like a belt at a plurality of parts in the surface of the solar battery element by partially removing layers of the second electrode layer through to the light absorbing layer or the second electrode layer through to the first electrode layer, and a cutting step of cutting the solar battery element at the partial removal portion.
