[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0039] Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is caused by the charging of the cover plate by ions in the surrounding environment and secondary electron emission between the interconnects and the cover plate, which raises the cover plate potential to the discharge threshold. Improving the electromagnetic protection capability of a solar array involves preventing the accumulation of charging charges on the cover plate surface and reducing the cover plate charging potential. Therefore, this invention provides an electromagnetic protection cover plate with surface conductivity, which is connected to the electrical ground terminal of the solar array, while simultaneously avoiding any impact on photovoltaic power generation.

[0063] Example 1
[0064] A method for manufacturing an electromagnetically protected solar cell module involves preparing a metal grid and an ITO thin film on a glass cover sheet, transforming the cover sheet surface from an insulator to a conductor while minimizing the impact on photovoltaic power generation performance. Irregularly shaped interconnect sheets are designed and fabricated, and an on-board welding process is used to connect the cover sheet surface to the electrical ground terminal of the substrate. The specific manufacturing steps are as follows:
[0065] (1) A layer of metallic copper with a thickness of 1 micrometer was deposited on the surface of the radiation-resistant glass cover using electron beam evaporation. A copper metal grid with a grid shape was prepared by photolithography and etching using a mask. The grid line width was 5 micrometers, and the size of the hollow unit was 100 micrometers × 100 micrometers. The lead-out electrodes were located at the four corners of the cover, forming a triangle shape. The etching was performed using a ferric chloride solution wet etching process.
[0066] (2) Infrared and visible transparent ITO thin films were prepared by magnetron sputtering. The preparation process is different from the traditional ITO thin film preparation process. The process parameters are: sputtering power 1500W, deposition temperature 150℃, oxygen flow rate 10sccm, which improves the transmittance in the near-infrared band.
[0067] (3) The aluminum honeycomb is the base material with a thickness of 20mm. Epoxy adhesive is used to attach a carbon fiber layer (230 micrometers) and a polyimide film layer (50 micrometers) to the surface of the aluminum honeycomb. Cylindrical copper metal is used as a pre-embedded conductor with a length of 15mm, which penetrates into the interior of the aluminum honeycomb layer and forms a good electrical contact with it. The copper pillar passes through the carbon fiber and polyimide to the surface of the substrate. Foam is filled around the aluminum honeycomb area around the copper pillar for fixation.
[0068] (4) The single cell is a gallium arsenide triple junction solar cell. First, a cover film adhesive is applied to the surface of the solar cell, and then an electromagnetic protection cover film is pressed onto the surface, so that the cover film is naturally horizontal. It is cured at room temperature plus 60°C. The cell string attachment process is a common process for space solar cell arrays. That is, first, a layer of fishbone-shaped cover film adhesive is brushed onto the substrate surface using a peel-off sticker as a template. Then, the cell string is attached to the cover film adhesive and fixed with a pressure block. After curing for 72 hours, the gas is removed.
[0069] (5) Two types of irregularly shaped interconnect sheets are fabricated: an "X"-shaped interconnect sheet used in the central area and a "Y"-shaped interconnect sheet used in the edge area. The "X"-shaped interconnect sheet enables interconnection between individual battery cells, while the "Y"-shaped interconnect sheet enables connection between the battery cover sheet and the pre-embedded conductor on the substrate. An Ω-shaped stress-reducing ring is fabricated on each interconnect sheet using a stamping process to reduce the damage to the interconnect sheet caused by tensile stress due to thermal deformation.
[0070] (6) The “X”-shaped interconnect pieces and “Y”-shaped interconnect pieces are welded to the corresponding positions of the battery module using a plate welding process. The “X”-shaped interconnect piece requires 4 welding points to achieve the interconnection between the cover pieces of the battery cells, and the “Y”-shaped interconnect piece requires 3 welding points to achieve the connection between the battery cover piece and the pre-embedded conductor of the substrate. The “X”-shaped interconnect pieces in the central area are resistance welded to connect the 4 adjacent cover pieces, and the “Y”-shaped interconnect pieces at the edge are resistance welded to connect the 2 adjacent cover pieces and the pre-embedded conductor of the substrate.
[0071] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, nine radiation-resistant glass coverslips, each 40mm × 60mm in size and 120 micrometers thick, were selected. A 1-micrometer thick layer of copper was deposited on the coverlip surface using electron beam evaporation. A copper metal grid, shaped like a grid, was fabricated using photolithography and etching. The grid line width was 5 micrometers, and the cutout unit size was 100 micrometers × 100 micrometers. The lead-out electrodes were located at the four corners of the coverlip, forming a triangle with two right-angled sides of 4mm. A wet etching process using ferric chloride solution was then used to remove the copper metal layer, excluding the metal grid and lead-out electrodes, after photolithography.
[0072] Figure 1 In the diagram, 1 is a triangular electrode, 2 is a grid-shaped metal grid, and 3 is the area where the copper metal layer needs to be etched away.
[0073] An ITO thin film was deposited on the surface of the glass cover after the metal grid was prepared using magnetron sputtering. The preparation process parameters were: sputtering power 1500W, deposition temperature 150℃, oxygen flow rate 10sccm, and ITO thickness of 200nm. This improved the transmittance in the near-infrared band. In this embodiment, the transmittance in the visible and near-infrared bands was greater than 80%. This completed the preparation of 9 electromagnetic protection glass cover sheets.
[0074] Select a 40mm × 60mm triple-junction gallium arsenide solar cell wafer. First, apply a cover adhesive to the surface of the solar cell, then press the electromagnetic shielding cover onto the surface, ensuring the cover is naturally horizontal. Curing is then performed at room temperature for 24 hours followed by a high-temperature curing process at 60℃ for 2 hours. This completes the fabrication of 9 electromagnetic shielding solar cells.
[0075] By selecting resistance welding, three electromagnetically protected battery strings are prepared by connecting three individual cells of nine electromagnetically protected batteries in series.
[0076] Fabricating irregularly shaped cover plates for interconnection, such as Figure 2 As shown, the "X"-shaped interconnect is made of silver, and the four welding strips are 5mm wide with an included angle of 90 degrees. Figure 3 As shown, the "Y"-shaped interconnect has two thin welding rods with a width of 5mm and a thick welding rod with a width of 8mm. An Ω-shaped stress-reducing ring is fabricated on each interconnect using a stamping process to reduce damage to the interconnect caused by tensile stress due to thermal deformation. The "X"-shaped interconnect enables the interconnection of the cover plates between individual battery cells, while the "Y"-shaped interconnect connects the battery cover plates to the pre-embedded conductors on the substrate. In this embodiment, the protective solar cell strings are attached to corresponding positions on the substrate, meaning that a pair of pre-embedded conductor structures correspond to the ends of adjacent battery strings.
[0077] Figure 2 In the diagram, 1 represents a welding rod, and 2 represents an Ω-shaped stress-reducing ring.
[0078] Figure 3 In the diagram, 1 represents a fine welding rod, 2 represents an Ω-shaped stress-reducing ring, and 3 represents a coarse welding rod.
[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, aluminum honeycomb material with a thickness of 20mm was selected and cut into dimensions of 240mm × 180mm. Copper pillars with a length of 15mm and a diameter of 8mm were vertically placed into the aluminum honeycomb, with one end of the copper pillar flush with the surface of the aluminum honeycomb substrate. Foam was used to fill and fix the aluminum honeycomb area around the copper pillar. A carbon fiber layer (230 micrometers) and a polyimide film layer (50 micrometers) were then attached to the surface of the aluminum honeycomb using epoxy adhesive. The carbon fiber and polyimide materials in the corresponding areas of the copper pillars were then removed, exposing the copper pillar surface. A layer of herringbone-shaped cover adhesive was brushed onto the polyimide surface of the substrate using a peel-off sticker as a template. The battery string was then attached to the cover adhesive and fixed with a pressure block. After curing for 72 hours, the gas was removed.
[0080] Figure 4 In the diagram, 1 is a "Y"-shaped interconnect sheet, 2 is an "X"-shaped interconnect sheet, 3 is an electromagnetically protected solar cell, 4 is an aluminum honeycomb panel with a carbon fiber layer and a polyimide layer attached to its surface, and 5 is a pre-embedded copper conductor column.
