Abstract

A thin film solar cell including a substrate, an insulating layer, a first electrode layer, a photovoltaic conversion layer and a second electrode layer is provided. The insulating layer is disposed on the substrate and includes a plurality of microstructures. An orthographic projection of the plurality of microstructures is a regular geometric shape or an irregular geometric shape regarding to a normal direction of the substrate. The first electrode layer is disposed on the insulating layer. A thickness of the first electrode layer is less than 1 μm or is equal to 1 μm. The photovoltaic conversion layer is disposed on the first electrode layer. The second electrode layer is disposed on the photovoltaic conversion layer.
