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, and a second electrode electrically connected to the substrate. At least one of the plurality of first electrodes includes a first electrode layer, a plurality of first electrode auxiliaries separated from the first electrode layer, and a second electrode layer positioned on an upper surface and a lateral surface of the first electrode layer and on an upper surface and a lateral surface of each of the plurality of first electrode auxiliaries.
