Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solar photovoltaic module technology, specifically relating to a solar glass antireflective film gain liquid, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing public concern for climate, energy, and sustainable development, solar energy, as an inexhaustible and clean energy source, is receiving growing attention and utilization. Currently, solar photovoltaic (PV) glass modules are widely used in the solar power industry due to their advantages such as high efficiency, long lifespan, and ease of maintenance. The cover glass used in PV modules is typically coated with an anti-reflective film. This film contains artificially created pores or voids to reduce its refractive index, thereby minimizing sunlight reflection and further improving power generation efficiency. However, due to the hollow structure of the anti-reflective film, its hardness and weather resistance are generally poor, making it prone to scratches and adhesive residue, affecting product quality and shortening its lifespan.

[0003] In related technologies, some scholars have developed a polymer substrate with a high-hardness hard coating formed by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PE-CVD). The aim is to obtain a structure possessing all three properties: wear resistance comparable to inorganic glass, resistance to boiling water (including the "time-dependent" properties of adhesion), and excellent heat resistance. This structure could be used in automotive window materials, building components, and surface protection panels for solar cells. However, this hard coating aims to achieve the same hardness and weather resistance as acrylic glass, and only the wavenumber of 930 cm⁻¹ was investigated. -1 With 1020cm -1 Wavenumber 1280cm -1 With 1020cm -1 The study focused on the infrared absorbance ratio, neglecting the transmittance of the film layer to the 380–1100 nm solar spectrum. Other researchers designed a laminated structure with excellent optical properties, scratch resistance, and high hardness; however, the outermost layer of this laminated structure uses an active energy line curable resin composition, which has poor UV resistance and weather resistance. Still other researchers designed a high-gain, durable anti-reflective coating; however, this thin-film coating only considered abrasion resistance and did not address other weather resistance properties.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to develop a new material that can form antireflective films with better performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a gain-enhancing liquid for solar glass antireflective coatings. This liquid is uniformly coated onto the surface of the photovoltaic glass antireflective coating layer. After the glass is tempered, it can tightly bond with the original coating layer without significantly reducing the transmittance of the original coating layer, and can impart high hardness and high weather resistance to the coating layer. In particular, it improves its weather resistance in the extremely demanding PCT high-pressure accelerated aging test, which can significantly extend the service life of the original coating layer.

[0006] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a gain film liquid for an antireflective coating on solar glass.

[0007] The present invention also provides an anti-reflective coating for solar glass.

[0008] The first aspect of the present invention provides a gain film liquid for a solar glass antireflection film, comprising a pre-prepared liquid and a volatilization inhibitor. The raw materials for preparing the pre-prepared liquid include silicate ester, diluent, water and catalyst, wherein the mass ratio of silicate ester, diluent, water and catalyst is 10-25:25-55:5-15:0.1-1.0.

[0011] In order to improve the transmittance of traditional solar glass antireflective coatings, the porosity of the coating is usually increased. As a result, the coating has poor hardness, dirt resistance and weather resistance. In particular, it is difficult to pass the PCT high-pressure accelerated aging test, which is directly related to the service life of the coating.

[0012] The solar glass antireflective coating gain liquid of the present invention is prepared by adding diluent, volatilization inhibitor and stabilizer to the hydrolysis product of silicate under certain conditions.

For example, when the uniformity of the antireflective coating is insufficient, the solid content of the gain film liquid of this patent can be appropriately increased or the evaporation rate can be decreased, making its use more flexible.

The transmittance (ΔT) was obtained by subtracting the transmittance of the substrate glass from the measured transmittance.

[0108] (3) Hardness test: The hardness test of pencils was performed according to GB / T6739-2006;

[0109] (4) 3M tape imprint test: The Scotch 610-1PK tape from 3M was used for the test. The adhesive side of the 3M tape was laid flat and adhered to the surface of the test film. The tape and film were pressed together by pressing with the fingers. Then, the unadheded part and the adhered area were made to form a perpendicular angle, and the tape was torn apart. The imprint was divided into 1 to 5 levels according to the imprint. Level 1 is no imprint, Level 2 is a very slight imprint, Level 3 is a relatively obvious imprint, Level 4 is an obvious reflective imprint, and Level 5 is tape detachment. The higher the level, the worse the dirt resistance.

[0110] (5) PCT high pressure accelerated aging test: Cut the coated glass to be tested into square pieces of 300×300mm, and then place them vertically in the high pressure accelerated aging test chamber with a gap of 2-3cm between the glass pieces. Then, under the test conditions of temperature 121℃, humidity 100% and 2 standard atmospheres, test continuously for 48h. Passing the 48h test means that the service life of the film is about 20 years; passing two 48h tests means that the service life of the film is about 40 years.

[0111] The results are shown in Table 1.

[0114] In Comparative Example 2, the amount of water added was below the limit, resulting in a poor silica sol structure, insufficient film density, low hardness, and poor PCT weather resistance.

[0115] In Comparative Example 3, the amount of water added exceeded the limit. Although the hardness met the requirements, the membrane surface was too dense and brittle, making it prone to cracking during the PCT weathering test.

[0116] In Comparative Example 4, the use of N,N-dimethylformamide increased the pH of the silica sol, resulting in a less dense silica sol structure and poorer hardness and PCT weather resistance.

[0117] In order to improve the transmittance of traditional solar glass antireflective coatings, the porosity of the coating is usually increased. After tempering, the coating is prone to forming open-pore structures on the surface, resulting in poor scratch resistance, dirt resistance and weather resistance, and generally short service life, which increases the cost of replacement or maintenance.

[0118] This invention involves coating a gain film layer on the surface and then tempering it. The gain film layer can form a tightly bonded chemical structure with the antireflective film layer. At the same time, the gain film layer can form a dense surface structure, thereby completely covering any openings that may appear in the original film layer. This results in a sandwich structure of a dense layer, an antireflective film, and a glass layer, which tightly encapsulates the antireflective film and significantly improves the hardness, dirt resistance, and weather resistance of the original film layer.

[0119] Furthermore, by controlling the solid content of the gain film liquid, the dense layer can be made to form the optimal thickness for different types of antireflection films, without significantly reducing the original film layer's transmittance, thus not affecting the module's power generation efficiency.

[0120] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
