Abstract

A solar cell includes a semiconductor substrate, a first semiconductor region positioned at a front surface or a back surface of the semiconductor substrate and doped with impurities of a first conductive type, a first electrode on the first semiconductor region, a second electrode on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a second semiconductor region positioned between the semiconductor substrate and the second electrode and doped with impurities of a second conductive type opposite the first conductive type, wherein the second electrode is formed of a metal foil, and an air gap is formed between the second electrode formed of the metal foil and the back surface of the semiconductor substrate.
