Abstract: A back-contact cell and a photovoltaic module are provided. The back-contact cell includes: a cell base; a plurality of busbars, at least one edge pad, a plurality of intermediate pads, at least one first interconnect line, a plurality of second interconnect lines, which are disposed on the cell base. The plurality of busbars include two edge busbars and a plurality of intermediate busbars positioned between the two edge busbars. A respective edge pad of the at least one edge pad is closest to and electrically connected to one of the two edge busbars via a respective one of the plurality of first interconnect line, intermediate pads in a respective column are in direct contact with a respective intermediate busbar, a respective edge busbar of the two edge busbars is electrically connected to at least one intermediate busbar of the plurality of intermediate busbars via one or more second interconnect lines.
