Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of battery technology, and particularly to the field of solar cell technology, specifically to a solar cell module and its preparation method, as well as a solar cell. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most solar cells used in the market are single-type solar cells. Most single-type solar cells can only absorb light from one side. When they are made to absorb light from both sides, transparent oxides are often used as electrodes. At this time, the resistance of the device is very high, resulting in low conversion efficiency.
[0003] When single-sided solar cells are used in BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), outdoor light is often utilized, while indoor light is difficult to take advantage of. In small-sized electronic products, especially when bonded to a display screen, the brightness of the display screen is difficult to utilize. For weak light sources such as displays and indoor light, amorphous silicon cells absorb light very well and can provide a high open-circuit voltage for the device. However, strong outdoor light will affect amorphous silicon cells, and prolonged exposure to strong light will lead to performance degradation. On the other hand, cells made with materials such as perovskite, organic solar cells, and cadmium telluride have good strong light absorption and can effectively absorb strong outdoor light. However, these cells often use oxides as electrodes, which have high resistance and low conversion efficiency. How to provide a solar cell with double-sided light absorption, low resistance, and high stability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0070] Currently, most solar cells used in the market are single-type solar cells. Most single-type solar cells can only absorb light from one side. When they are made to absorb light from both sides, transparent oxides are often used as electrodes. At this time, the resistance of the device is very high, resulting in low conversion efficiency.
[0071] When single-sided solar cells are used in BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), outdoor light is often utilized, while indoor light is difficult to take advantage of. In small-sized electronic products, especially when bonded to a display screen, the brightness of the display screen is difficult to utilize. For weak light sources such as displays and indoor light, amorphous silicon cells absorb light very well and can provide a high open-circuit voltage for the device. However, strong outdoor light will affect amorphous silicon cells, and prolonged exposure to strong light will lead to performance degradation. On the other hand, cells made with materials such as perovskite, organic solar cells, and cadmium telluride have good strong light absorption and can effectively absorb strong outdoor light. However, these cells often use oxides as electrodes, which have high resistance and low conversion efficiency. How to provide a solar cell with double-sided light absorption, low resistance, and high stability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.
[0072] In view of this, the present invention provides a solar cell module. Figures 1 to 2 This is a schematic diagram of a structure of a solar cell module provided by the present invention. The solar cell module provided by the present invention can absorb light from both sides, and can absorb not only indoor light (weak light) but also outdoor light (strong light). It has low resistance, high efficiency and good stability, and is suitable for various occasions. The following description, in conjunction with the specific accompanying drawings, mainly focuses on the solar cell.
[0073] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The solar cell module 100 includes a glass substrate 1 and a plurality of individual cells. The plurality of individual cells are spaced apart on the glass substrate 1 in a left-right direction. A first insulating layer 2 is filled between two adjacent individual cells. Each individual cell includes a cadmium telluride cell layer 3, a connecting layer 4 and a perovskite cell layer 5 stacked sequentially from bottom to top. The connecting layer 4 includes an insulating layer 42 and a first metal layer 41. In every two adjacent individual cells, the individual cell closer to the left is connected to the individual cell closer to the right through the first metal layer 41.
[0074] In this invention, the solar cell module 100 can absorb both indoor light (weak light) and outdoor light (strong light), making it suitable for various applications. Simultaneously, the first metal layer 41 is connected by the gap between two individual cells, allowing the first metal layer 41 to connect adjacent individual cells. This effectively utilizes the "dead zone" between the solar cell module 100, further improving its performance. The first insulating layer 2 is used to isolate adjacent individual cells, preventing leakage current and short circuits in the solar cell module 100. The perovskite cell layer 5 absorbs both outdoor and indoor light, enabling the solar cell module 100 to operate in both strong and weak light environments. The cadmium telluride cell layer 3 absorbs sunlight, enhancing the solar cell module 100's efficiency in strong light conditions. Thus, the cadmium telluride cell layer 3 and the perovskite cell layer 5 work together to improve the efficiency of the solar cell module 100.
[0075] It should be noted that the connection method between multiple single cells is not limited and can be selected according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, two adjacent single cells are connected in series through the first metal layer 41 to form a closed loop, so that the solar cell module 100 can work normally.
[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 includes a first electrode layer 31, a window layer 32, an absorption layer 33, a back contact layer 34, and a metal back electrode layer, which are stacked sequentially from bottom to top; the perovskite battery layer 5 includes a second electrode layer 51, a perovskite layer 52, and a third electrode layer 53, which are stacked sequentially from bottom to top.
[0077] Please see Figure 2The first metal layer 41 includes a first metal connection layer 411, a second metal connection layer 412, and a third metal connection layer 413. The first metal connection layer 411 and the second metal connection layer 412 are spaced apart on the upper surface of the back contact layer 34. In every two adjacent single cells, the second metal connection layer 412 on the single cell near the left extends to connect with the third electrode layer 53 on the single cell near the right. The third metal connection layer 413 is disposed above the first insulating layer 2. In every two adjacent single cells, one end of the third metal connection layer 413 is connected to the first electrode layer 31 on the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 of the single cell near the left, and the other end is connected to the first metal connection layer 411 on the perovskite battery layer 5 of the single cell near the right. In this embodiment, the first metal layer 41 is used to connect the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 and the perovskite battery layer 5. The first metal connection layer 411 is connected to the back contact layer 34, and the second metal connection layer 412 is connected to the second electrode layer 51. The purpose of providing the second metal connection layer 412 is to reduce the resistance of the second electrode layer 51, increase the carrier collection capability of the second electrode layer 51, reduce energy loss, and improve the efficiency of the perovskite battery layer 5. The first metal connection layer 411 is connected to the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 and forms the electrode of the cadmium telluride battery layer 3. The purpose of providing the third metal connection layer 413 is to connect two adjacent single-cell batteries to form the solar cell module 100. Furthermore, the arrangement of the first metal connection layer 411, the second metal connection layer 412, and the third metal connection layer 413 is not limited. They can be arranged separately, or they can be arranged in an integral manner, with the entire first metal layer 41 arranged above multiple single cells, and then the first metal layer 41 can be cut into the first metal connection layer 411, the second metal connection layer 412, and the third metal connection layer 413 by means of laser or other methods.
[0078] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In this embodiment, one function of the second metal connection layer 412 is to serve as the back electrode of the cadmium telluride battery layer 3, and another function is to connect the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 and the perovskite battery layer 5, which are arranged in the vertical direction and located on the same battery cell, in series; the first metal connection layer 411 is connected to the second electrode layer 51 to reduce the resistance of the perovskite battery layer 5.
[0079] It should be noted that the arrangement of the first metal connection layer 411 and the second metal connection layer 412 is not limited. Specifically, in actual operation, the first metal connection layer 411 and the second metal connection layer 412 can be integrally formed, and then etched apart by laser according to process requirements to form the first metal connection layer 411 and the second metal connection layer 412.
[0080] For further information, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 The insulating layer 42 includes a first insulating layer 421, a second insulating layer 422, and a third insulating layer 423. The first insulating layer 421 is disposed between the second metal connection layer 412 and the back contact layer 34 to separate the second metal connection layer 412 from the back contact layer 34. The second insulating layer 422 is disposed between the first metal connection layer 411 and the second metal connection layer 412 and is connected to the first insulating layer 421. The third insulating layer 423 is disposed below the first insulating layer 421, with one end connected to the first insulating layer 421 and the other end extending to connect to the first electrode layer 31. In this embodiment, the insulating layer 42 is used to separate the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 and the perovskite battery layer 5 in the same single cell, preventing the two layers from directly contacting each other and causing a short circuit. The first insulating layer 421 is filled between the first metal connection layer 411 and the second metal connection layer 412 to isolate them and prevent electron transfer, which could lead to a short circuit. Furthermore, the purpose of the second insulating layer 422 is to prevent the second metal connection layer 412 from contacting the back contact layer 34, etc. The purpose of the third insulating layer 423 is to prevent the back contact layer 34, the window layer 32, and the absorption layer 33 from short-circuiting with the third metal connection layer 413. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the arrangement of the first insulating layer 421, the second insulating layer 422, and the third insulating layer 423 is not limited. They can be arranged individually or in an integral molding manner, in which the entire insulating layer 42 is arranged on multiple single batteries, and then the entire insulating layer 42 is cut into the first insulating layer 421, the second insulating layer 422, and the third insulating layer 423 by means of laser or other methods.
[0081] Furthermore, one purpose of the insulating layer 42 is to fill the micropores on the absorption layer 33 and the back contact layer 34 of the cadmium telluride battery layer 3, so as to prevent electrons from the second electrode layer 51 from being transferred to the first electrode layer 31 through the micropores, causing the solar cell module 100 to short-circuit. Another purpose is to support the first metal layer 41 and prevent the first metal layer 41 from breaking due to height difference.
[0082] It should be noted that the first insulating layer 421, the second insulating layer 422 and the third insulating layer 423 can also play a protective role to a certain extent, in order to isolate water and oxygen in the air, prevent water and oxygen in the air from entering the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 and causing corrosion to the cadmium telluride battery layer 3, and improve the stability of the solar cell.
[0083] Please continue reading. Figure 2 The connecting layer 4 further includes a second insulating layer 43, which covers the first metal connecting layer 411, a portion of the second metal connecting layer 412, and the third metal connecting layer 413, and exposes a portion of the second metal connecting layer 412. In this embodiment, the second insulating layer 43 covers the first metal connecting layer 411 to prevent the cadmium telluride cell layer 3 on the single cell near the left end from short-circuiting with the perovskite cell layer 5. The second insulating layer 43 covers the third metal connecting layer 413 to prevent the perovskite cell layer 5 on the single cell near the left end from short-circuiting with the perovskite cell layer 5 on the single cell near the right end. Exposing a portion of the second metal connecting layer 412 allows the second metal connecting layer 412 to contact the second electrode layer 51, thereby reducing the resistance of the second electrode layer 51 and improving the efficiency of the solar cell.
[0084] The material of the second insulating layer 43 is not limited, as long as it can prevent short circuits inside the solar cell module 100. Considering the light absorption capacity of the solar cell module 100 itself, a transparent material is preferred as the material of the second insulating layer 43. In some embodiments, the material of the second insulating layer 43 is a transparent organic resin. In other embodiments, the material of the second insulating layer 43 is a photosensitive resin.
[0085] Similarly, the material of the insulating layer 42 is not selected, as long as it can prevent short circuits inside the solar cell module 100. Considering the light absorption characteristics of the solar cell module 100, a transparent material is preferred as the material of the insulating layer 42. Specifically, in some embodiments, the material of the insulating layer 42 is a transparent organic resin; in other embodiments, the material of the insulating layer 42 is a photosensitive resin.
[0086] It should be noted that the materials of the second insulating layer 43 and the insulating layer 42 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the fabrication of the solar cell module 100, the materials of the second insulating layer 43 and the insulating layer 42 are the same. As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the materials of the second insulating layer 43 and the insulating layer 42 are both photosensitive resin.
[0087] In some embodiments, the window layer 32 is made of CdS; in other embodiments, the window layer 32 is made of CdSe; the absorption layer 33 is made of CdTe; the back contact layer 34 is made of ZnTe; and the second electrode layer 51 is made of aluminum. In still other embodiments, the second electrode layer 51 is made of copper.
[0088] Please continue reading. Figure 2 The perovskite solar cell layer 5 further includes a second metal layer 54, which is disposed above the third electrode layer 53. It should be noted that the second metal layer 54 can be optionally provided or not. When the solar cell module 100 is used in a strong light environment, the second metal layer 54 is provided on the third electrode layer 53 to reduce the resistance of the third electrode layer 53 and improve the efficiency of the cell. When the solar cell module 100 is used in a weak light environment, the second metal layer 54 is omitted to ensure the light transmittance of the solar cell module 100.
[0089] Furthermore, the material of the second metal layer 54 is preferably selected to have a resistance lower than that of the third electrode layer material 53. Specifically, the material of the second metal layer 54 is preferably gold.
[0090] Please refer to the following: the angle between the upper surface of the first insulating layer 2 and the upper surface of the glass substrate 1 is α, where α < 70°. Specifically, in actual production, when setting the first metal layer 41, coating and printing technology is often required. To avoid breakage during coating or metal oxide film formation, the first insulating layer 2 needs to be tilted at an angle not exceeding 70° to avoid open circuits and improve the stability of the solar cell module 100.
[0091] Furthermore, considering the light transmittance of the solar cell module 100, in some embodiments, the first insulating layer 2 is made of transparent organic resin; in other embodiments, the first insulating layer 2 is made of photosensitive organic resin.
[0092] Furthermore, this invention also proposes a method for preparing a solar cell module, used to prepare the aforementioned solar cell module 100. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 The method for preparing the solar cell module includes the following steps:
[0093] Step S10: Deposit a cadmium telluride battery layer 3 on the glass substrate 1.
[0094] It should be noted that, for ease of preparation, in this embodiment, the entire cadmium telluride battery layer 3 is deposited on the glass substrate 1, and then the entire cadmium telluride battery layer 3 is cut into multiple individual cadmium telluride battery layers along the front-back direction. In another embodiment, the layers can also be deposited separately, with one individual cadmium telluride battery layer deposited at a time.
[0095] Specifically, in step S10, the following steps can be performed: depositing a first electrode layer 31 on the glass substrate 1 using vapor deposition; depositing a window layer 32 on the first electrode layer 31 using vapor deposition; depositing an absorption layer 33 on the window layer 32 using vapor transport deposition or vacuum sublimation; and depositing a back contact layer 34 on the absorption layer 33 using vapor deposition, thereby obtaining a cadmium telluride battery layer. The specific operation methods for vapor deposition, vacuum sublimation, and vapor transport deposition can be referred to conventional methods in the art, and will not be elaborated here.
[0096] Step S20: Cut the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 sequentially along the front-back direction to obtain multiple individual cadmium telluride battery layers.
[0097] In step S20, the following steps can be used: the cadmium telluride battery layer 3 is sequentially cut along the front-back direction using laser etching to obtain multiple individual cadmium telluride battery layers. During the cutting process, the width of the first electrode layer 31 is greater than the width of any one of the window layer 32, the absorption layer 33, and the back contact layer 34.
[0098] It should be noted that during the actual cutting process, it is necessary to ensure that the window layer 32, the absorption layer 33, and the back contact layer 34 are aligned on both sides to ensure the light transmittance of the final solar cell module 100. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the width of the first electrode layer 31 is greater than the width of any one of the window layer 32, the absorption layer 33, and the back contact layer 34 to facilitate the overlapping of the third metal connection layer 413 in subsequent steps.
[0099] Step S30: Sequentially, a first insulating layer 2 is provided between every two adjacent cadmium telluride battery cells.
[0100] In step S30, the specific steps are as follows: a first insulating layer 2 is sequentially applied between every two adjacent cadmium telluride cell layers using a coating method. The height of the right end of the first insulating layer 2 is not lower than the height of the adjacent cadmium telluride cell layer on the right, and the height of the left end is not lower than the height of the first electrode layer 31 on the adjacent cadmium telluride cell layer on the left. This arrangement of the first insulating layer 2 serves two purposes: firstly, it facilitates the application of the third metal interconnect layer 413 on the first insulating layer 2 in subsequent steps, preventing cracking of the third metal interconnect layer 413 during the drying and film formation process; secondly, it also prevents directional short circuits between adjacent single cells.
[0101] Step S40: Sequentially deposit a connecting layer 4 on each of the individual cadmium telluride battery layers.
[0102] Step S40 can be performed using the following steps:
[0103] Step S401: A first insulating layer 421 is disposed above a portion of the back contact layer 34, and a third insulating layer 423 is disposed below the first insulating layer 421.
[0104] Step S402: A first metal connection layer 411 is provided on another part of the back contact layer 34, and a second metal connection layer 412 is provided on the first insulating layer 421.
[0105] Step S403: Fill the space between the first metal connection layer 411 and the second metal connection layer 412 with the second insulating layer 422;
[0106] Step S404: A third metal connection layer 413 is provided above the first insulating layer 2 to obtain the connection layer 4.
[0107] It should be noted that, in actual operation, when setting the first isolation layer 421, the second isolation layer 422 and the third isolation layer 423, the entire isolation layer 42 can be set first, and then laser etching or other methods can be used to etch and divide the entire isolation layer 42 into the first isolation layer 421, the second isolation layer 422 and the third isolation layer 423.
[0108] Similarly, when setting the first metal interconnect layer 411, the second metal interconnect layer 412 and the third metal interconnect layer 413, the entire first metal layer 41 can be set first, and then laser etching or other methods can be used to etch and divide the entire first metal layer 41 into the first metal interconnect layer 411, the second metal interconnect layer 412 and the third metal interconnect layer 413.
[0109] Step S50: Sequentially deposit a second insulating layer 43 on each of the connecting layers 4.
[0110] When performing step S50, the following steps can be taken:
[0111] Step S501: Apply a second insulating layer 43 sequentially to the first metal layer 41, the second metal bonding layer 412, and the third metal bonding layer 413 using a slot coating method or a screen printing method.
[0112] Step S502: Use laser etching to etch away part of the second insulating layer 43 located on the second metal interconnect layer 412, exposing part of the second metal interconnect layer 412.
[0113] Step S60: Perovskite cell layers 5 are sequentially deposited on each of the second insulating layers 43 to obtain a solar cell module 100.
[0114] When performing step S60, the following steps can be taken:
[0115] Step S601: A second electrode layer 51, a perovskite layer 52 and a third electrode layer 53 are sequentially disposed on each of the second insulating layers 43 from bottom to top;
[0116] Step S602: A second metal layer 54 is disposed on each of the third electrode layers 53 to obtain a solar cell module 100.
[0117] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes a solar cell, which includes a plurality of solar cell modules 100, which are connected in parallel or in series. Since the solar cell described herein adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0118] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
