Abstract

A photovoltaic device includes a silicon substrate of a first conduction type that includes an impurity diffusion layer on one surface side; a light-receiving-surface side electrode that includes a plurality of grid electrodes electrically connected to the impurity diffusion layer; and a back-surface side electrode formed on the other surface side of the silicon substrate wherein the impurity diffusion layer includes a first impurity diffusion layer and a second impurity diffusion layer, and wherein the first impurity diffusion layer is formed so that a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the grid electrodes is a longitudinal direction thereof, and so that an area ratio of the first impurity diffusion layer to a band region is equal to or lower than 50%.
