Solar cell element and method for manufacturing solar cell element

Abstract

A solar cell element is provided with a semiconductor substrate, a passivation layer, and an electrode. The semiconductor substrate has a first surface and a second surface that is positioned on a back side of the first surface. The passivation layer is positioned on the second surface of the semiconductor substrate. The electrode is positioned on the passivation layer and positioned in the state of being electrically connected to the semiconductor substrate. The electrode includes a linear electrode part that is positioned along a peripheral edge of the semiconductor substrate when the semiconductor substrate is seen from the second surface side in plane perspective view, and is positioned in the state of penetrating the passivation layer in a thickness direction.
