A thin-film compound photovoltaic cell includes a cell body including a photovoltaic cell stack including a plurality of compound semiconductor layers, first and second electrodes that are formed on a first surface of the photovoltaic cell stack, the first surface being on a light receiving side of the photovoltaic cell stack, and a third electrode that is formed on a surface of the photovoltaic cell stack that is opposite to the light receiving side; and a resin film formed on the cell body, the resin film being formed on the side opposite to the light receiving side. The photovoltaic cell stack includes a cell layer including a PN junction layer and a contact layer that is formed on part of a surface of the cell layer which surface is opposite to a light-receiving surface of the cell layer. The third electrode is formed on the contact layer.
