It is shown that the metal abundance in the solar interior is constrained from the current solar neutrino experiment, even if one allows neutrino conversion in the sun due to neutrino oscillation. The result shows that the metal abundance in the interior should be within the range 0.4 - 1.4 times that in the surface, supporting the idea that the sun formed by a contraction of a gas cloud with an almost homogeneous composition.
