[0002] A traditional photovoltaic module preparation method is to first lay a glass adhesive film, then perform cell piece welding and laying, then lay an adhesive film, and finally lay glass or a back plate on the adhesive film and perform lamination. A new photovoltaic module manufacturing process is to lay an adhesive film on the front glass and perform primary lamination at the same time, then embed a solder strip and lay a cell piece, and the back glass or back plate is placed on the adhesive film to embed the solder strip and perform secondary lamination. However, the solder strip is prone to deviation during the lamination process, and the reliability of the module is at risk. However, the new photovoltaic module manufacturing process has problems such as deviation of the solder strip during lamination and inability to meet the reliability of the module. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the problems in the prior art, the application provides a preparation process of a photovoltaic module. The preparation process of the photovoltaic module avoids the problem of deviation of the solder strip during secondary lamination of the photovoltaic module, and can effectively improve the reliability of the photovoltaic module.

[0004] The application achieves the above technical purpose through the following technical means.

Laying an insulator on the photovoltaic glass, then laying a first photovoltaic encapsulant film on the insulator, and performing primary lamination; then embedding at least two bus bars and a plurality of photovoltaic solder strips on the first photovoltaic encapsulant film, the bus bars being perpendicular to the ends of the photovoltaic solder strips; then removing the insulator and laying a second photovoltaic encapsulant film at the position of the insulator;

[0007] S2. Obtaining a photovoltaic front plate and a photovoltaic back plate through step S1, laying a photovoltaic cell piece on the photovoltaic solder strips of the photovoltaic front plate, and then laying a photovoltaic back plate on the photovoltaic cell piece;

[0008] S3. Laminating the photovoltaic front plate, the photovoltaic cell piece, and the photovoltaic back plate to obtain a photovoltaic module.

[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the insulator comprises a non-adhesive high molecular material, such as a polytetrafluoroethylene high-temperature cloth or a heat-debonding high molecular film material.

[0010] Preferably, in step S1, the first photovoltaic encapsulation adhesive film and the second photovoltaic encapsulation adhesive film comprise any one of transparent EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate polymer), white EVA, polyolefin POE (polyolefin), co-extrusion POE, Silicon organic silicon film, PVB (polyvinyl butyral) adhesive film or TPU (polyurethane rubber) adhesive film.

[0011] Preferably, in step S1, the length and width of the first photovoltaic encapsulation adhesive film are smaller than the length and width of the photovoltaic glass.

[0012] Preferably, in step S1, the length and width of the second photovoltaic encapsulation adhesive film are larger than the length and width of the first photovoltaic encapsulation adhesive film and smaller than the length and width of the photovoltaic glass.

[0015] Preferably, in step S2, the photovoltaic solder strip of the photovoltaic back plate is aligned with the thin grid of the photovoltaic cell piece.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] In the present application, the preparation process of the new photovoltaic module is optimized, and the high-temperature-resistant separator is laid on the photovoltaic glass to effectively avoid the problem that in the prior art, after the encapsulation material is once laminated and pre-crosslinked, the second lamination of the solder strip is prone to deviation after a period of stagnation, and the reliability of the photovoltaic module can be improved.

[0018] In the present application, the circuit components for connecting all the cell pieces in the module are made into prefabricated parts, and the connection between the cell pieces is completed in the lamination process, which simplifies the cell piece welding process and improves the connection process speed between the cell pieces. In the present application, the solder strip and the bus bar are embedded into the pre-laminated and crosslinked adhesive film to form a solder strip carrying film, the carrying film is not bonded together with the glass, but is bonded and encapsulated between the carrying film and the glass through another layer of adhesive film, so that the flowability of the carrying film can be reduced and the hardness can be improved. Therefore, during the second lamination, the solder strip and the bus bar on the carrying film are not prone to displacement with the flow of the film, thereby reducing the deviation of the solder strip on the cell piece.
