Solar cell and method of manufacturing solar cell

A method of manufacturing a solar cell, comprising:

• forming a first semiconductor layer in a first region on one principal surface of a crystalline semiconductor substrate of a first conductivity type;
• forming a second semiconductor layer in a second region of the one principal surface different from the first region;
• and
• forming a transparent electrode layer on the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer, wherein
• the first semiconductor layer includes a first amorphous semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type and a first crystalline semiconductor part extending from the one principal surface toward the transparent electrode layer, and
• the second semiconductor layer includes a second amorphous semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type different from the first conductivity type, and the first amorphous semiconductor layer and the first crystalline semiconductor part are formed at the same time.
