Abstract
A photovoltaic element having a wire disposed on a surface of the photovoltaic element for outputting a power generated by the photovoltaic element, and an electrode electrically joined with the wire while forming a joining portion, wherein the joining portion of the wire and the electrode has at least a first joining portion and a second joining portion which is adjacent to the first joining portion, and the second joining portion has an elasticity which is greater than that of the first joining portion. A process for the production of the photovoltaic element. A method for forming an electrical continuity between a covered wire and a conductor, including a method of removing a cover portion of the covered wire and a method of joining the covered wire with the conductor.
