Abstract

A metallic material is rolled to provide a conductor 3 having a rectangular cross section. A surface of the rectangular conductor 3 is plated with a plating layer 14. A thickness of the plating layer 14 at a surface facing to the Si cell is not more than 5 μm to provide a connecting lead wire 12 for a solar battery. The connecting lead wire 12 for a solar battery has 0.2% proof stress of not more than 60 MPa. The connecting lead wire 12 for a solar battery is connected to a predetermined contact region of a Si cell 1 of a solar battery at a high temperature.
