Because the bus layer 400 is arranged on the backlight surface of the solar cell and the protruding lug 410 protruding through the bus layer 400 passes through the anti-reflection layer 300 to be in electrical contact with the first transparent conductive layer 200, the backlight surface of the solar cell in the application does not need to be additionally provided with the grid line 700 which is in electrical contact with the first transparent conductive layer 200 and is prepared by silver paste, the processing technology of the back surface of the whole cell is simpler, the mass production is easy, the consumption of the silver paste can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the whole solar cell is lower. Meanwhile, since the contact area between the first transparent conductive layer 200 and the bus layer 400 is small, it is possible to further reduce sputtering damage to the first transparent conductive layer 200 when the bus layer 400 is prepared by deposition. And the anti-reflection layer 300 is arranged between the first transparent conductive layer 200 and the bus layer 400, so that light entering from the front surface to the back surface can be more incident into the substrate 110, optical plasma absorption of the first transparent conductive layer 200 and the bus layer 400 is effectively reduced, the photocurrent density is further improved, and optical loss between the first transparent conductive layer 200 and the bus layer 400 is reduced, so that the optical loss of the whole solar cell is further reduced, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is effectively improved.
