Solar cell module and method for manufacturing same

A method for manufacturing a solar cell module, the method comprising steps of:

• providing a first solar cell and a second solar cell;
• forming an insulating member on a light-receiving surface of the first solar cell;
• and
• stacking the first solar cell and the second solar cell with an electroconductive member interposed therebetween such that at least a part of the electroconductive member directly interfaces with the light-receiving surface of the first solar cell, wherein
• the first solar cell and the second solar cell each have:
• a photoelectric conversion section that includes a crystalline silicon substrate of first conductivity-type;
• a collecting electrode provided on the light-receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion section;
• and a back electrode provided on a back surface of the photoelectric conversion section,
• in the first solar cell, the crystalline silicon substrate of first conductivity-type has a first principal surface on a light-receiving side, a second principal surface on a back side, and a cleaved surface extending from the first principal surface to the second principal surface,
• the insulating member is arranged side-by-side with the electroconductive member on a part of a cleaved surface-side periphery on the light-receiving surface of the first solar cell, where the collecting electrode is not provided,
• the first solar cell and the second solar cell are stacked in such a manner that the cleaved surface-side periphery on the light-receiving surface of the first solar cell overlaps the periphery on the back surface of the second solar cell,
• at a stacked section where the first solar cell and the second solar cell are stacked, the collecting electrode of the first solar cell and the back electrode of the second solar cell are electrically connected to each other by coming into contact with the electroconductive member;
• wherein the first principle surface, the second principle surface, and a non-cleaved surface opposite the cleaved surface each have a first surface texturization, and
• wherein the cleaved surface has a second surface texturization that is disordered and different than the first surface texturization.
