Abstract

A solar cell and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The solar cell includes a first conductive type substrate, an emitter layer of a second conductive type opposite the first conductive type, the emitter layer and the substrate forming a p-n junction, a plurality of first electrodes electrically connected to the emitter layer, at least one current collector connected to the plurality of first electrodes, and a second electrode electrically connected to the substrate. Each of the plurality of first electrodes includes a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer on the first electrode layer. The at least one current collector includes a plurality of first current collector layers having a plurality of first portions and at least one second current collector layer on the plurality of first current collector layers.
