Abstract

According to the present invention, an electrode is formed on a first region of a light receiving surface of a solar battery element and an end portion of an interconnector is connected to a part of the surface region of the electrode, while an adhesive layer is provided on the light receiving surface, the surface of the electrode and the end portion of the interconnector. Further, one or more through holes are provided in a region of the interconnector being adjacent to the end portion. Thus, even if an adhesive agent forming the adhesive layer flows out during formation of the adhesive layer, the outflow parts of the adhesive agent are trapped in the through holes, whereby the solar battery device can be reduced in size.
