PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL AND SOLAR CELL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a photovoltaic cell and a solar cell with a lead wire, by which the extensibility is fully secured, to reduce warpage of the photovoltaic cell, after the lead wires have been connected. SOLUTION: The photovoltaic cell comprises a cell light-receiving surface and a cell rear surface. The cell light-receiving surface has lead junction electrodes 3, 4, in which grid electrodes 2 of the cell light-receiving surface are arranged almost in parallel, and which are arranged almost perpendicularly intersecting with the electrodes 2, and having lead wires 5, 6 jointed to the lead junction electrodes 3, 4. In the cell rear face, strip conductors 8, 11 are positioned at a rear face side of the cell light-receiving surface, and include a plurality of openings 9, 12. The cell rear face are fitted by each division of the openings 9, 12 via lead junction electrodes 7, 10. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
