Solar cell and method for manufacturing solar cell

Abstract

A solar cell is provided with: a photoelectric conversion unit; terminal sections for plating, which are formed on the light receiving surface of the photoelectric conversion unit; and a plated electrode formed on the light receiving surface by means of electrolytic plating using the terminal sections for plating. The terminal sections for plating are formed at positions separated from wiring material connecting sections of the plated electrode, said positions being on the light receiving surface. The plated electrode includes, for instance, a plurality of finger sections, and bus bar sections, each of which is formed to intersect the finger sections, and includes each of the wiring material connecting sections.
