Description

Technical Field

[0002] "Metal Wrap Through Cell", referred to as MWT cell, is a cell in which both the emitter contact electrode and the base contact electrode are located on the back of the cell. In the MWT cell structure, the emitter contact electrode located on the light-receiving side of the cell is guided from the silicon substrate to the back of the cell, and both the emitter contact electrode and the base contact electrode are located on the back of the cell, so that the current collected by the surface emitter flows out from the back of the cell. Compared with traditional solar cells, the conductive main grid line on the front of traditional solar cells is replaced by the emitter electrode located on the back of the MWT cell. Therefore, the shading area on the front of the MWT cell is reduced, and the area receiving light is increased, which effectively increases the short-circuit current of the cell, thereby improving the energy conversion efficiency of the cell.

[0003] Usually, in the packaging of MWT solar cell modules, adjacent MWT cells are interconnected in series, for example, using welding ribbons. However, the existing welding ribbon interconnection technology requires a large welding ribbon area and a large resistance, resulting in large transmission losses of module power on the welding ribbon; especially when using high-efficiency MWT cells with high voltage and high short-circuit current, most of the energy will be lost in the form of heat instead of being converted into electrical energy, and the high conversion efficiency obtained at the battery end cannot be fully reflected at the module end.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the front electrode contact points 9 on the backlight surface are distributed in 6 arrays, and the back electrode contact points 10 are also distributed in 6 arrays. The front electrode contact points 9 and the back electrode contact points 10 on the backlight surface are distributed in 7 columns as a whole, wherein the electrode contact points in each of the 2nd to 6th columns are alternately arranged by the front electrode contact points and the back electrode contact points. Preferably, the number of the front electrode contact points and the back electrode contact points in each column is the same or differs by 1( Figure 2 The difference shown is 1).

[0053] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the spacing between each column is the same, so that MWT solar cell units 100 with the same area can be formed after cutting.

[0061] F. Preparing a front passivation anti-reflection layer 4 and a back passivation protective layer 8: Next, 70 nm and 120 nm silicon nitride (SiNx) films are prepared on the front and back sides respectively to form a front passivation anti-reflection layer 4 and a back passivation protective layer 8;

[0062] G. Laser grooving: Use laser to make grooves on the surface of the back passivation protective film, with a groove width of 20um and a line spacing of 500um;

[0063] H. Printing and sintering: This step mainly includes the following steps:

[0065] b) Contact point printing: Printing on the back surface to form front electrode contact points 9 and back electrode contact points 10 at the same time, wherein the front electrode contact points 9 are distributed in a 6-array, and the back electrode contact points 10 are also distributed in a 6-array. The front electrode contact points 9 and the back electrode contact points 10 on the backlight surface are distributed in 7 columns as a whole, wherein the electrode contact points in each column from the 2nd to the 6th column are alternately arranged by the front electrode contact points and the back electrode contact points;

[0066] c) Printing a local back field 12: Printing a back aluminum line on the back grooved area to form a local back field 12 after sintering as described below;

[0067] d) Printing the front electrode 5: Then, the front electrode is printed on the front emitter layer;

[0068] e) Sintering: Finally, sintering is performed to form a back local back field 12 and a back aluminum layer 11, and to make the front electrode contact point 9 and the back electrode contact point 10 form contact characteristics respectively, wherein the back aluminum wire and the silicon substrate in the opening area react to form an aluminum-silicon alloy and a back local back field 12, and a back aluminum layer 11 is formed in the ungrooved area, thereby obtaining the above-mentioned MWT solar cell.

[0069] Next, the above MWT solar cell sheet, such as Figure 2 As shown, according to Figure 2 By cutting along the laser cutting line shown, six MWT solar cell units 100 can be formed, wherein the two side edges of each of the MWT solar cell units 100 are respectively provided with a front electrode contact point 9 and a back electrode contact point 10, and the edges after cutting are in an alternating positive and negative arc shape.

[0070] It should be noted that the concave-convex shape formed after cutting is not limited to this. By designing different laser cutting lines, the concave-convex shape can also be, for example, a trapezoidal shape with alternating positive and negative directions (such as Fig.15 As shown), square (including rectangular, square), triangle, etc., detailed description is omitted here.

[0071] Afterwards, if Figure 3 As shown, the cut 6 MWT solar cell units 100 are laid flat on a plane, so that the multiple MWT solar cell units 100 are arranged in a row, so that one side of the opposite edges of two adjacent MWT solar cell units 100 forms a front electrode contact point 9 and the other side forms a back electrode contact point 10, and the front electrode contact point 9 and the back electrode contact point 10 form a row. Here, it should be noted that the so-called forming a row means roughly forming a row, and a certain degree of deviation can be allowed according to the specific width of the conductive material 13 (such as the welding strip) described later, the process accuracy requirements, etc.

[0072] Next, the six MWT solar cell units are connected in series through a conductive material 13 (e.g., five solder strips, or printed conductive adhesive) to obtain Figure 3 A MWT solar cell string 200 is shown.

[0073] By further connecting a plurality of MWT solar cell strings 200, MWT solar cell strings can be formed. Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of MWT solar cell strings 200 are connected in parallel to form a first group of strings 301. Specifically, a plurality of MWT solar cell strings 200 are arranged in the same arrangement direction (the so-called same arrangement direction means that the front electrode contact points 9 and the back electrode contact points 10 at both sides of the back edge of each MWT solar cell string 200 are respectively located on the same side to form a row), and then the electrode contact points of the same polarity are connected through the conductive material 13, that is, the back electrode contact points 10 of each MWT solar cell string 200 are connected through the conductive material 13 to form a negative electrode, and the front electrode contact points 9 are connected through the conductive material 13 to form a positive electrode.

[0074] Then, if Figure 5 As shown, 10 (there is no special regulation on the number of the first group of strings, which can be set as needed) first group of strings 301 are arranged vertically in a row, connected in series with each other, and then connected to a junction box, packaged, and other processes to form an MWT solar cell module.

[0075] Example 2

[0076] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, the multiple MWT solar cell strings 200 formed in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can also be connected in series to form a second group of strings 302. Specifically, the multiple MWT solar cell strings 200 are arranged vertically in a manner in which two adjacent arrangement directions are opposite (the so-called arrangement directions are opposite, that is, in two adjacent MWT solar cell strings 200, the front electrode contact point 9 on the back of one is located in a row with the back electrode contact point 10 of the other, and at the same time, the back electrode contact point 10 of the one is located in a row with the front electrode contact point 9 of the other). Thereafter, the upper and lower MWT solar cell strings 200 are connected in series through the conductive material 13, and the back electrode contact point 10 of the MWT solar cell string 200 located first in the vertical direction is led out through the conductive material 13 to form a negative electrode, and the front electrode contact point 9 of the MWT solar cell string 200 located at the lowest position in the vertical direction is connected through the conductive material 13 to form a positive electrode.

[0077] Then, if Figure 7As shown, the six second strings 302 are arranged in a row horizontally, the negative electrodes are connected to each other, and the positive electrodes are connected to each other, so as to connect the six second strings 302 in parallel, and then connected to a junction box, packaged, etc. to form an MWT solar cell module.

[0078] Of course, other forms of strings can be formed as needed, which will not be listed here.

[0079] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned MWT solar cell assembly, the specific number of the first string group 301 and the second string group 302, and the number of the MWT solar cell strings 200 contained in the first string group 301 and the second string group 302 are not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiments, and can be appropriately set as needed.

The front electrode contact points 9 and the back electrode contact points 10 on the backlight surface are distributed in 4 columns as a whole, wherein the electrode contact points of each of the second column and the third column are alternately arranged by the front electrode contact points 9 and the back electrode contact points 10.

[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, the MWT solar cell sheet can be cut into three MWT solar cell units, wherein the back of each cell unit 100' has a column of front electrode contact points 9 and a column of back electrode contact points 10, which are respectively located at the two side edges of the back of the MWT solar cell unit 100'.

[0085] Thereafter, in the same manner as in Example 1, Fig. 9 As shown, a MWT solar cell string 200 ′ is formed.

[0086] Next, if Fig.10 As shown, the MWT solar cell strings 200' are connected in parallel to form a first string 301'.
