Abstract

In the adhesive layer (3) for adhering the solar cell body (1) and the cover glass (2), convexly-shaped adhesive convex members (6) are applied and hardened before application of the adhesive layer (3). The convex adhesive members (6) support the cover glass (2) parallel to the upper surface of the solar cell body (1), whereby the thickness of the adhesive layer (3) on the solar cell body is substantially uniform.
