To provide a solar cell element having improved power generation efficiency.
The solar cell element 100 includes a substrate 110, a mask pattern 120, a plurality of semiconductor nanorods 130, a first electrode 150, and a second electrode 160. The semiconductor nanorods 130 are disposed in a triangular lattice form as viewed in plane on the substrate 110, wherein the ratio p/d of the center-to-center distance p between each adjacent pair of the semiconductor nanorods 130 to the minimum diameter d of the semiconductor nanorods 130 lies within the range from 1 to 7. Each semiconductor nanorod 130 comprises a central nanorod 131 formed of a semiconductor of a first conductivity type, a first cover layer 132 formed of an intrinsic semiconductor and covering the central nanorod 131, and a second covering layer 138 formed of a semiconductor of a second conductivity type and covering the first cover layer 132.
