Abstract

Discussed is a method of manufacturing a solar cell including preparing a single crystalline silicon substrate having a first conductive type impurity; forming a non-single crystalline silicon emitter layer having a second conductive type impurity opposite to the first conductive type impurity on a first surface of the single crystalline silicon substrate; forming a first transparent conductive oxide layer on the first surface of the single crystalline silicon substrate; forming a first electrode electrically connected to the first transparent conductive oxide layer; and forming a second electrode electrically connected to the single crystalline silicon substrate, wherein the forming of the first electrode includes; forming a first seed layer on the first transparent conductive oxide layer, and forming a first plating layer over the first seed layer by plating a first conductive material.
