Method for manufacturing a solid oxide fuel cell device

To provide a method for manufacturing SOFC, capable of preventing breakage of fuel cell electrodes, and of securing an electrical connection between fuel cells and a current collector. Step for forming electrode protective layers (152) on electrodes formed on fuel cells (16), modularization step for forming a cell array, and attaching step for attaching a current collector (82)to the cell array, wherein current collector (82) is a metal plate on which attaching holes (84) are formed for the insertion of fuel cells (16), elastic pieces (84a) are formed at each attaching hole (84), fuel cells (16) are inserted into attaching holes (84), and current collector (82) is attached to the cell array by the elastic force; and protective layer (152) is constituted to prevent damage to electrodes caused by contact with elastic pieces.
