Problems solved by technology

[0003] The substrates of thin-film solar cells can be divided into rigid substrates (such as glass) and flexible (such as thin metal) substrates. Solar cells with flexible substrates are generally divided into two types. One is to divide the overall battery block into Each small battery unit connected in series or in parallel, the substrate of this solar cell cannot be separated; foreign patents (US6858461 and JP2003003956) disclose a method for obtaining series or parallel battery units on the substrate by means of laser etching; but This technology is limited by laser or mechanical scribing methods. For example, laser etching will cause a short circuit in the battery, and mechanical scribing will increase the dead zone of the battery and affect battery efficiency.
The other is to use the same substrate to prepare batteries, and then use interconnection technology to connect small batteries to form a whole module. This method has certain feasibility, but there are also shortcomings, such as difficult to achieve ohmic contact, complicated process, etc.; Domestic patents CN202332901U and CN102386251A respectively relate to flexible connection and connection methods of different materials
In addition, the patent CN201210483922 discloses a method for preparing interconnected flexible solar cells, which solves the problem of ohmic contact by overlapping and pressing small flexible solar cells, but is limited by the overlapping structure and lamination factors of the small cells themselves. , the separation of the battery cells cannot be achieved
