Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic panel testing, specifically a large-format module PL testing system. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the photovoltaic industry has experienced rapid development. To pursue higher efficiency and reduce production costs, the industry's production processes and technologies are constantly evolving. During the production of photovoltaic panels, problems such as microcracks, uneven diffusion, and false printing may occur. These defects can affect the photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells, reduce cell lifespan, and impact the stability of the photovoltaic system. Photoluminescence (PL) testing can detect and analyze various process stages, including silicon wafers, diffusion, etching, electrode printing, and cell fabrication. It can quickly and effectively locate problems in the production process, providing a reliable guarantee for product quality. The principle of PL photoluminescence is as follows: using a laser of a specific wavelength as the excitation source, it provides photons of a certain energy. Ground-state electrons in the silicon wafer absorb these photons and enter the excited state, releasing near-infrared light with a peak at around 1150nm. A high-sensitivity, high-resolution CCD infrared camera is then used for photosensitive imaging. After imaging, the light intensity is proportional to the non-equilibrium minority carrier concentration at the corresponding location. Since defects will reduce the minority carrier concentration in the region, thus weakening its fluorescence effect, it will appear as dark dots, lines or certain areas after imaging. Therefore, photoluminescence can be used to determine whether there are defects, impurities, and other factors that ultimately affect the battery efficiency.

[0003] Traditional EL testing methods are inefficient, inconvenient, and inaccurate. With the increasing prevalence of cadmium telluride and perovskite solar cells and the gradual increase in module size, EL testing methods are becoming more limited. Therefore, a large-format module PL testing system is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
