The finger portion 12p2 is opposed to the > portion of the bus bar portion in the y direction. That is, the front end x direction of the finger electrode portion reaches the position of the bus bar portion 13n. In the present embodiment, the front end on the x1 side of the finger electrode portion 12p2 is flush with the end side on the x1 side of the bus bar portion 13n. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. The χ1 side front end of the finger f pole portion 12p2 can be located in the quotation "it strip. The xi side of the 卩13η is located closer to the χ2 side, and may be located closer to the χ1 side than the leading end of the bus bar portion 13n on the x1 side. However, as described in the above Patent Document 1, when each of the n-side electrode and the p-side electrode is constituted by one comb-shaped electrode, it is difficult to sufficiently improve the photovoltaic efficiency. This may be because the electricity 323796 201242053 hole which is generated as a minority carrier in the portion below the bus bar portion of the n-side electrode of the solar cell substrate has to be moved a long distance before being collected by the P-side electrode, so that it is easy It disappeared because of recombination. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the n-side electrode 11n is divided into a plurality of comb-shaped electrode portions 14. Further, the finger electrode portion 12pl on the p side is located between the bus bar portions 13n. Therefore, the area of the bus bar portion 13n on the n side is small. Further, the hole which is a minority carrier generated at a portion below the bus bar portion 13n of the solar cell substrate 1 is required to move a short distance before being collected by the p-side electrode lip. Therefore, this embodiment can effectively suppress the disappearance of the hole due to recombination. Thereby, the photoelectric conversion efficiency can be improved. Further, in the present embodiment, similarly to the finger electrode portion 12p1, the finger electrode portion 12p2 is also provided to face the bus bar portion 1311 in the y direction. Thereby, it is possible to effectively suppress the disappearance of the hole due to recombination. Thereby, the improved photoelectric conversion efficiency can be further realized. From the viewpoint of further improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency, it is preferable to reduce the area of the bus bar portion 13n. Therefore, it is preferable to increase the shortest distance between the bus bar portions 13n by one. Specifically, the shortest distance between the bus bar portions 13n is preferably 0.001 mm or more. However, if the shortest distance between the bus bar portions 13n is too long, the photoelectric conversion efficiency may be lowered due to an increase in the number of electric shunts. Therefore, the shortest distance between the bus bar portions is preferably 10 mm or less, more preferably 4 mm or less. Hereinafter, another example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following description, members having substantially the same functions as those of the above-described first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted. 323796 201242053 (Second embodiment) Fig. 2 is a schematic plan view of a solar cell according to a second embodiment. The shape of the bus bar portion 13n and the shape of the finger electrode portion 12pl in the solar battery 2 of the present embodiment are different from those of the solar battery 1 of the first embodiment described above. In the solar battery 2, the width of the bus bar portion 13n is narrowed from the χ2 side in the X direction toward the x1 side. Specifically, the bus bar portion ι3η is formed in a trapezoidal shape in which the bottom portion faces the χ2 side. The width of the tip end portion of the finger electrode portion 12p1 is widened from the χ2 side in the X direction toward the χΐ side. Specifically, the front end portion of the finger electrode portion 12pl has a trapezoidal shape in which the lower bottom faces the crotch side. Therefore, compared with the solar cell cartridge of the first embodiment described above, the solar cell 2 reduces the area of the bus bar portion 13n. Further, the width of the finger electrode portion 12pl is widened toward the χΐ side, and therefore the distance that the hole generated in the portion below the bus bar portion 13n of the solar cell seat panel 10 must move before being collected by the p-side electrode lip Will become shorter. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the hole from disappearing due to recombination. Thereby, the photoelectric conversion efficiency after further improvement can be obtained. Further, the bottom corner of the bus bar portion 13n (and the bottom corner of the front end portion of the finger electrode portion i2pi) is preferably 〇. To 9 〇. (180. to 9〇.), more preferably 3〇. To 丨沁. (150. to 120.). k Third Embodiment) Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view showing a solar cell according to a third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, in the solar cell 3 of the present embodiment, a plurality of finger electrode portions 2pl are disposed between the adjacent comb-shaped electrode portions 14 in the y direction, and the solar energy of the first embodiment described above is used. Battery 1 is different. 323796 12 201242053 In this case as well, the improved photoelectric conversion efficiency can be realized in the same manner as in the first embodiment described above. (Fourth embodiment) Fig. 4 is a schematic plan view showing a solar cell according to a fourth embodiment. As shown in Fig. 4, in the solar battery 4 of the present embodiment, the front end portions of the bus bar portion i3n and the finger electrode portion I2pl are formed in a trapezoidal shape, as in the second embodiment. The solar cell 3 of the embodiment is different. Therefore, the solar cell 4 of the present embodiment has higher photoelectric conversion efficiency than the solar cell 3. (Fifth Embodiment) Fig. 5 is a schematic plan view showing a solar cell according to a fifth embodiment. Fig. 6 is a schematic plan view showing a part of the solar cell of the fifth embodiment in an enlarged manner. As shown in Fig. 5, the solar cell 5 of the present embodiment is different from the solar cell 1 of the first embodiment in that the P-side electrode Πρ has the electrode portion 15p. The electrode portion 15p is electrically connected to the finger electrode portion 12pl. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the electrode portion 15p is connected to the distal end portions of the plurality of finger electrode portions 12ρι. The electrode portion 15p is provided to extend in the y direction on the 侧 side of the bus bar portion 13n. For example, in the solar battery 1 of the first embodiment, as shown in Fig. 7, the hole 16 generated in the portion of the solar cell substrate 10 at the side of the side of the bus bar portion 13 (four) is attached to the finger electrode. Department] 2p must move a long distance before it is removed. Therefore, the hole 16 is easily recombined. 323796 13 201242053 Therefore, the state of the electrode is set. In the solar cell substrate 1 (), the hole generated in the portion below the X1 side portion of the bus bar = 13 η! 6 The distance that must be moved before being collected by the electrode portion 15p of the p-side electrode Up is short. Therefore, the hole 16 is difficult to disappear due to recombination. Thereby, the photoelectric conversion efficiency which is further improved can be realized. Further, in the above embodiment, a case where one conductivity type is _ and the other conductivity type is p type will be described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a configuration in which one conductivity type is a 卩 type and another conductivity type is an η type polarity may be used. In this case, electrons become a minority carrier, and thus an electron can be obtained. The same effect as when the hole is a minority carrier.
