Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and more specifically, to a superparamagnetic conductive fluid material, its preparation method, and a magnetically connected stacked photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous consumption of energy leading to rising energy prices, the development and utilization of new energy sources has become a major research topic in the energy field. Due to its numerous advantages, such as being pollution-free, not geographically limited, and inexhaustible, solar energy research has become one of the most popular directions in new energy development. Currently, using solar cells to generate electricity is a primary way for people to utilize solar energy. With the continuous development of photovoltaic technology, photovoltaic modules, which are semiconductor devices that convert solar energy into electrical energy, have been rapidly developed and their application areas are becoming increasingly broad.

[0003] Solar power generation is a technology that directly converts light energy into electrical energy by utilizing the photovoltaic effect at semiconductor interfaces. Photovoltaic modules, as the core unit of solar power generation, are generally composed of a cover glass, encapsulating film, solar cells, encapsulating film again, and a back panel. To reduce the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of solar power generation, tandem modules are a module structure that can significantly reduce incident light loss. Their basic principle is to cut the solar cells into several small pieces, which are directly interconnected by conductive adhesives. Matrix tandem modules have a photovoltaic module topology with two-dimensional current transport characteristics. Through the staggered arrangement of the solar cells, a mesh-like hybrid circuit connection method is achieved, connecting the cells in series vertically and in parallel horizontally. When the current transport of a cell string in the module encounters an obstruction (shading or cell damage), the current can continue to be transmitted through the parallel channel to the adjacent string, achieving detour around the obstruction point. This solves the problems of reduced power generation revenue caused by the decrease in photovoltaic module and system output power under shading conditions, as well as the safety hazards caused by hot spots.

[0004] Currently, crystalline silicon tandem photovoltaic modules utilize staggered cascading technology. This module design features a topological structure that enables two-dimensional current transport. It employs a staggered arrangement of slender strip cells (see tandem matrix module). Figure 1As shown, this is a photovoltaic module structure that relies on the grid lines of the solar cells to form parallel connection points, thereby achieving two-dimensional current transport. Adjacent two thin, elongated solar cells are connected by conductive adhesive applied via electroplating and extrusion through a stencil. There is an overlapping area between the long sides of the two adjacent solar cells, and the conductive adhesive is bonded to this overlapping area. The conductive adhesive has high viscosity, easily curing and clogging the nozzle. Furthermore, the extruded adhesive is difficult to control during the bonding of two solar cells, resulting in uneven spreading and potential overflow. This can cause short circuits in the solar module, affecting production yield and performance. During processing, solar cells may experience damage and cracking, and traditional conductive adhesives are difficult to swell and decompose after curing, sometimes requiring the scrapping of multiple solar cells or reducing the overall module performance.

[0070] Example 1

[0071] (1) Weigh 0.043 mol (8.55 g) of ferrous chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2·4H2O) and 0.086 mol (23.25 g) of ferric chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O) to prepare an iron salt solution. First, add ferric chloride hexahydrate to a beaker containing 250 ml of distilled water and stir at 500 rpm until dissolved.

[0073] Application Examples

[0074] The superparamagnetic conductive fluid material obtained by the preparation method provided in Example 1 was coated onto the connection site of the crystalline silicon solar cell using a template coating method. (See below) Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the battery cell processing in an application embodiment of the present invention; wherein, a strip-shaped structure with a width of 0.35mm and a distance of 0.2mm from the right edge is coated on one side (right side) of the front of the battery cell, which is the front magnetic grid, and a strip-shaped structure with a width of 0.35mm and a distance of 0.2mm from the left edge is also coated on the other side (left side) of the back of the battery cell, which is the back magnetic grid; then, after heating, drying and curing, a crystalline silicon battery cell with controllable magnetic connection is obtained.

[0075] Then, several controllably magnetically connected crystalline silicon solar cells are magnetically connected, see [link to documentation]. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the magnetic connection in an application embodiment of the present invention; the electromagnetic chuck used in the figure is an energized electromagnet, which serves to attract a single cell or two adjacent overlapping battery cells at the same time; the superparamagnetic conductive fluid material has conductive properties and serves to collect electrons and connect the metal electrodes of the battery cells in series.

[0076] The aforementioned controllable magnetically connected crystalline silicon solar cells are attracted to the primary stacking stage by an electromagnetic chuck, and then demagnetized and de-adsorbed. The primary stacking stage is equipped with pores and positioning electromagnetic points. During the stacking process, the cells are attracted and fixed by the pores. After stacking, the electromagnetic field is activated, and the electromagnetic points have sufficient magnetic strength to simultaneously attract two adjacent stacked solar cells and transfer them to a larger secondary stacking stage. The first layer of the secondary stacking stage is a strongly magnetic positioning plate (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 (A schematic diagram of the cell stacking platform and magnetic positioning plate) Then, glass and EVA film are applied in sequence; busbars are welded onto the placed cells, then covered with film and glass, and finally transported to the laminator feed inlet. The magnetic positioning plate is demagnetized and removed, and after lamination, magnetically connected stacked photovoltaic modules are obtained.

[0077] Magnetic-connected laminated photovoltaic modules can be uniformly coated with a thin layer of adhesive on the edges of the cells, avoiding short circuits and shading caused by excess adhesive. It also reduces the proportion of non-conductive materials such as organic matter, improving conductivity and effectively increasing module efficiency. The magnetic fluid itself has a certain degree of adhesion, and adding conductive adhesive improves the relative stability of the cells in the absence of a magnetic field, reducing positional deviations after cell arrangement. Furthermore, this material allows for simple and effective disassembly. In conventional production, if even one cell is damaged, the entire module is scrapped; however, magnetic connections allow for removal and replacement, significantly reducing cell waste and loss on the production line.

[0081] Calculations show that the average yield is 95%, the cost of a single 540MW module is 1080 yuan, and the 10MW production line saves 1 million yuan in costs.
