Solar cell and method of manufacturing the same

A solar cell comprising:

• a substrate formed of a first semiconductor;
• a plurality of emitter layers on the substrate, the plurality of emitter layers being formed of a second semiconductor different from the first semiconductor;
• a plurality of first electrodes electrically connected to the plurality of emitter layers;
• and
• a plurality of second electrodes electrically connected to the substrate,
• wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is formed using a plating method.

A method of manufacturing a solar cell comprising:

• forming an emitter layer of a second conductive type opposite a first conductive type on a substrate of the first conductive type;
• and
• forming a first electrode electrically connected to the emitter layer and a second electrode electrically connected to the substrate,
• wherein the forming of the first and second electrodes includes plating a conductive material to form at least one of the first and second electrodes, and
• the substrate and the emitter layer are formed of different semiconductors.
