We fabricated the effective $Cu_2S$/CdS solar cells with large area by a spray pyrolysis method. In preparation process, we investigated the process parameters which directly influenced the efficiency of solar cell, such as the grid contact for electrodes, the temperature condition of CdS spray and the junction characteristics of $Cu_2S$ layer, by scanning electron microscope(SEM), x-ray diffraction(XRD) and temperature dependent optical absorption and photoconductivity. The $Cu_2S$/CdS solar cell with area of 1$ extrm{cm}^2$ showed the efficient of 3.15% under air mass 2(AM2) spectrum irradiation with 75mW/$ extrm{cm}^2$.
