Patent ID: 8535969

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a solar cell, comprising: providing a photovoltaic layer, wherein the photovoltaic layer has a first surface and a second surface; forming an electrode material layer on the first surface of the photovoltaic layer; forming at least one gap on the electrode material layer, wherein the at least one gap exposes a portion of the photovoltaic layer; forming an electrode on the second surface of the photovoltaic layer; forming an insulating layer on the photovoltaic layer exposed by the at least one gap, and forming a plurality of pores exposing a portion of the photovoltaic layer on the insulating layer; and forming a light-transparent conductive layer on the insulating layer, wherein the light-transparent conductive layer is connected to the first electrode layer, and is connected to the photovoltaic layer through at least a part of the pores.
