Abstract:
In a manufacturing method for a solar cell, the solar cell includes: a solar cell substrate; and first and second collection electrodes formed on the solar cell substrate. At least one of the first and second collection electrodes includes: grid electrodes formed in a distributed manner over a whole surface of the solar cell substrate; and a bus electrode that is in contact with the grid electrodes and from which current is drawn. The method comprises forming a shape pattern of the bus electrode and the grid electrodes by performing a screen printing a plurality of times in such a manner that the bus electrode is divided in a longitudinal direction and that the divided bus electrodes include an overlapping region only in the longitudinal direction.

Claim (Index 2):
The manufacturing method for a solar cell according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the screen printing comprises:\n printing a first conductive paste in part of a region that is to be the bus electrodes and forming a first conductor layer by using a first printing plate having a first opening that includes a discontinuous portion extending in the longitudinal direction; and \n printing a second conductive paste and forming a second conductor layer by using a second printing plate having a second opening partially overlapping with the first opening and a third opening corresponding to the grid electrodes, and \n the bus electrodes have an overlapping region in which the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer partially overlap with each other in the longitudinal direction.
