ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a photovoltaic device in which a plurality of photovoltaic cells are connected in series on an insulative substrate, includes the steps of: forming on said insulating substrate a plurality of first electrodes (13a, 13b, 13c; 23a, 23b, 23c) having respective first extended portions (13ae, 13be, 13ce; 23ae, 23be, 23ce) (11; 21); covering the plurality of first electrodes with a photo-active semiconductor layer (14; 24); forming a plurality of second electrodes (15a, 15b, 15c; 25a, 25b, 25c) on the semiconductor layer. The second electrodes have respective second extended portions (15ae, 15be, 15ce; 25ae, 25be, 25cd) which overlap the corresponding first extended portions, to thereby the corresponding first electrodes; series connections are formed by causing an energy beam to irradiate regions where the second extended portions overlap the first extended portions.
