Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaic modules, and in particular relates to a solar cell back panel and a preparation method thereof, and a photovoltaic module. Background Art

[0002] Polyvinylidene fluoride has good weather resistance, chemical resistance and processability and is widely used in the field of solar cell backplane film. Currently, PVDF / PET / PVDF backplane is widely used. As a double-sided fluorine-containing composite backplane, it has excellent resistance to environmental erosion, UV aging and moisture and heat. At the same time, it has obvious cost advantages over the widely used TPT (PVF / PET / PVF) backplane in the market. Therefore, with the continuous expansion of the solar energy market, its demand is also increasing. However, its structure is a three-layer composite film, and the interfacial bonding strength is improved by coating adhesives between the layers. In the later use process, it faces the problem of interface detachment, which will reduce the battery life. In addition, the adhesive contains solvents, which will cause environmental pollution during the production process. In addition, PVDF also has poor surface tension, poor adhesion with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) film, and insufficient water vapor barrier performance, which makes it difficult to be used in high temperature and high humidity environments. These problems limit the wide application of PVDF in the field of solar cell backplanes.

[0003] Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) is one of the three major high barrier polymer materials. It has excellent barrier properties against water vapor. However, the EVOH molecular chain contains hydroxyl groups that are easy to absorb moisture. It is generally located in the inner layer and is widely used in the field of food and pharmaceutical packaging. However, it has not been widely used in the field of solar photovoltaic backplanes. The melting point of EVOH is similar to that of PVDF, which creates conditions for the blending and modification of the two. However, PVDF and EVOH are incompatible. PVDF is a hydrophobic polymer and EVOH is a hydrophilic polymer. It is necessary to add a compatibilizer or graft modification on the surface of PVDF to promote the compatibility of the two. Summary of the invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: In view of the problems and shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention proposes a solar cell backplane and a preparation method thereof, and a photovoltaic module.

[0015] Further, before S1, including:

[0016] The polyvinylidene fluoride and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer are dried at 60-80° C. for 12-24 hours and then cooled to room temperature.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] In the present application, EVOH replaces the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer in the solar cell backplane used in the market. At the same time, in order to improve the compatibility of the two and reduce the use of adhesives, the present invention grafts methacrylate and maleic anhydride on the PVDF molecular chain respectively by melt grafting, and adopts a three-layer co-extrusion method to obtain the solar cell backplane, wherein the PVDF grafted with glycidyl methacrylate is located in the outer layer.

Moreover, glycidyl methacrylate and maleic anhydride can both chemically react with the hydroxyl group of the EVOH molecular chain. There is no need to use adhesives. The prepared solar panel can be widely used in high-humidity environments such as offshore solar power generation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0074] Comparative Example 1

[0075] Conventional PVDF / PET / PVDF backsheets purchased on the market were used for comparison.

[0076] The adhesion and water vapor transmission rate performance tests of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1 with EVA were carried out according to the following standards:

[0077] Adhesion with EVA: The test method is peel strength test. Use a knife to cut a 1cm wide strip between the back panel and the EVA, and make sure to cut through it. Use a tensile testing machine to pull the peeling layer in a 180° direction at a speed of 100mm / min. Take points when the material is peeled off at a uniform speed and take the minimum value. The peel strength between the EVA and the back panel is determined to be 40N / cm to be qualified.

[0078] Water vapor transmission rate test: According to GB / T 21529-2008 standard, the test was conducted using the W3 / 330 water vapor transmission rate test system. The test area was 108 mm x 108 mm, the test temperature was 40°C, the test humidity was 90%, and three samples were tested for each solar cell back panel to take the average value.

[0079] The water vapor transmission rate test results of the solar cell back sheet and the EVA adhesion test results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0080] Table 1

[0081]

[0082] It can be seen from the table that the water vapor permeability of the solar cell backsheets prepared in Examples 1 to 6 is significantly lower than that of conventional PVDF backsheets on the market, and the adhesion to the EVA film is significantly enhanced.

[0083] Beneficial effects:

[0084] In the present application, EVOH replaces the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer in the solar cell backplane used in the market. At the same time, in order to improve the compatibility of the two and reduce the use of adhesives, the present invention grafts methacrylate and maleic anhydride on the PVDF molecular chain respectively by melt grafting, and adopts a three-layer co-extrusion method to obtain the solar cell backplane, wherein the PVDF grafted with glycidyl methacrylate is located in the outer layer. Since glycidyl methacrylate is a hydrophobic group, the grafting does not impair its water vapor barrier ability. The PVDF grafted with maleic anhydride is located in the inner layer. Maleic anhydride can chemically react with the ester group of EVA to improve its adhesion. Moreover, glycidyl methacrylate and maleic anhydride can both chemically react with the hydroxyl group of the EVOH molecular chain. There is no need to use adhesives. The prepared solar panel can be widely used in high-humidity environments such as offshore solar power generation.
