Abstract
The solar cell includes: a first metal seed layer and a first plating layer provided on a first surface of a photoelectric conversion section; a second metal seed layer provided on a second surface of the photoelectric conversion section; and a third metal seed layer and a third plating layer provided on the lateral surface and the peripheral edge of the second surface of the photoelectric conversion section. The first metal seed layer is in electrical continuity with the third metal seed layer, while the second metal seed layer is in electrical non-continuity with the third metal seed layer. By supplying electricity to at least one of the first metal seed layer and the third metal seed layer, the first plating layer and the third plating layer are formed simultaneously.
