Abstract

The present invention aims to provide a solar cell having high durability against deterioration due to moisture ingress from the side surfaces. The solar cell 10 of the present invention includes: first and second electrodes 12 and 17; a perovskite layer 14 provided between the first and second electrodes 12 and 17 and containing an organic-inorganic perovskite compound (A) represented by the formula RMX3 where R is an organic molecule, M is a metal atom, and X is a halogen atom; and a side-surface-protecting layer 15 provided on a peripheral side of the perovskite layer 14 to coat at least part of a side surface of the perovskite layer 14, the side-surface-protecting layer 15 containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal halide (B1) and an organometal halide (B2) or containing an organohalide (C).
