Problems solved by technology

Although the mechanical lamination method can realize solar materials with different band gaps to absorb light in different bands, it has great limitations. For example, the adhesive material will inevitably absorb part of the sunlight, resulting in a certain optical loss. The method also poses some risks to the long-term stability of the entire battery
The sealant used in CN101097968A is used as the connection between the top layer and the bottom battery, the transmittance will be relatively poor, and the service life will be relatively low
The problem that the nano-metal film cannot adjust the current passing and light transmittance well

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of thin-film solar cells, in particular to a laminated thin-film solar cell and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] In order to broaden the absorption range of solar cell materials, stacked structures of solar materials with different band gaps are often used. The solar spectrum can be regarded as several segments, using narrow-bandgap materials for long-wavelength absorption and wide-bandgap materials for short-wavelength absorption can greatly improve performance and stability. [0003] For thin-film cells, the continuous growth stack structure is mainly used in silicon-based and III-V compound solar cells. Among them, the world record of silicon-based tandem solar cells is held by LG, the basic structure is a-Si:H / nc-Si:H / nc-Si:H, and a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 13.4% has been achieved; III-V group The world record for compound stacked cells is Sharp's InGaP / GaAs / InG...
