Abstract

Disclosed is a solar cell and a method for manufacturing the same, which facilitates to improve cell efficiency by smoothly drifting carrier such as hole or electron generated in a semiconductor wafer to first and second electrodes, the solar cell comprising a semiconductor wafer having a predetermined polarity; a first semiconductor layer on one surface of the semiconductor wafer; a first transparent conductive layer on the first semiconductor layer; a first electrode on the first transparent conductive layer; a second semiconductor layer on the other surface of the semiconductor wafer, wherein the second semiconductor layer is different in polarity from the first semiconductor layer; a second transparent conductive layer on the second semiconductor layer; a second electrode on the second transparent conductive layer; and at least one of first and second auxiliary layers, wherein the first auxiliary layer is formed between the first semiconductor layer and the first transparent conductive layer so as to smoothly drift carriers generated in the semiconductor wafer to the first transparent conductive layer, and the second auxiliary layer is formed between the second semiconductor layer and the second transparent conductive layer so as to smoothly drift carriers generated in the semiconductor wafer to the second transparent conductive layer.
