Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a method for repairing grid line failure of a solar cell. Background Art

[0002] With the rise in energy prices, the development and utilization of new energy has become a major research topic in the energy field today. Since solar energy has the advantages of being pollution-free, not geographically restricted, and inexhaustible, research on solar power generation has become the main direction for the development and utilization of new energy. Using solar cells to generate electricity is a major way for people to use solar energy today. Traditional solar cells have a main grid structure with electrodes on both sides, especially the main grid of the front electrode, which will block part of the sunlight and reduce the overall conversion efficiency of the cell. In addition, the traditional main grid is welded with welding ribbons. Once the components have hidden cracks, the overall efficiency of the components will decrease rapidly, and even cause the components to fail completely or be scrapped. Hidden cell grid refers to irregular hidden cracks at the grid of the cell. When the hidden cracks cause the grid to break, the current cannot be effectively collected, resulting in partial or even complete failure of the cell. It may also cause fragments, hot spots, etc., and cause power attenuation of the component.

[0003] The main reasons for the hidden grid lines are material defects or process problems during the manufacturing process. In order to avoid the hidden grid lines of the battery cells, the quality control and detection during the production process are generally strengthened to avoid the hidden grid lines. Once the battery cells have hidden grid lines, they can only be scrapped or downgraded, resulting in economic losses. However, there is a lack of remedial measures for hidden grid lines in the prior art, which makes a large number of battery cells waste due to scrapping. Therefore, it is urgent to provide a method for repairing hidden grid lines of battery cells, so as to avoid the scrapping or downgrading of battery cells due to hidden grid lines. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that there is a lack of remedial measures for gate line failure in the prior art, resulting in a waste of resources. The purpose is to provide a method for repairing gate line failure of a cell, thereby avoiding the scrapping or downgrading of the cell due to gate line failure.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for repairing a grid line failure of a battery cell comprises the following steps:

[0011] As a possible design, during the above sintering, the battery cells are placed on a conveyor belt, and the sintering belt speed is 1.8 to 3.8 m / min.

[0012] As a possible design, the above-mentioned light injection annealing treatment is divided into 5 temperature zones, the temperature of temperature zone 1 is 600-640°C, the temperature of temperature zone 2 is 600-640°C, the temperature of temperature zone 3 is 550-600°C, the temperature of temperature zone 4 is 540-580°C, and the temperature of temperature zone 5 is 520-560°C.

[0018] The present invention can achieve a repair rate of grid line type failure of more than 60% without significant loss of photoelectric conversion efficiency by subjecting the cell to sintering, light injection and laser assisted sintering. This may be due to the reconstruction of the material structure of the cell crack after sintering, light injection and laser assisted sintering, thereby repairing the grid line type failure.

It should be understood that the following drawings only illustrate certain embodiments of the present invention and should not be regarded as limiting the scope.

[0021] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] A method for repairing a grid line failure of a battery cell comprises the following steps:

[0023] The cell with hidden grid lines is sequentially subjected to sintering, light injection and laser-assisted sintering processes.

[0024] The present invention can achieve a repair rate of over 60% for grid line type hidden defects without significant loss of photoelectric conversion efficiency by subjecting the cell to sintering, light injection and laser assisted sintering treatments. This may be because irregular hidden cracks are filled and connected by the slurry of the cell after sintering, light injection and laser assisted sintering treatments, which improves the adhesion of the cell hidden cracks, thereby repairing grid line type hidden defects.

[0025] Preferably, the cells are subjected to an EL test before processing to select cells with hidden gate lines.

[0026] As a possible design, the battery cell is dried before sintering. After the slurry on the battery cell is dried, the organic matter in the slurry will be volatilized and the slurry will be changed from a solid-liquid mixed state to a solid state.

[0027] Preferably, the drying and sintering of the battery cells are both carried out in a roller sintering furnace.

[0028] As a possible design, the drying treatment temperature is 350-450° C., and the drying is carried out on a conveyor belt with a drying belt speed of 1.8-3.8 m / min.

[0029] At this belt speed, the battery cells can be fully dried while ensuring a certain repair efficiency.

[0030] As a possible design, the above sintering is specifically to place the battery cell in a sintering furnace for sintering. During sintering, the temperature of the upper temperature zone is 450-510°C, and the temperature of the lower temperature zone is 420-480°C.

[0031] By sintering, the slurry can form a good ohmic contact with the silicon substrate, so that a low-resistance contact interface is formed between the silicon wafer and the slurry, which is beneficial to the input and output of current and improves the overall performance of the device. In addition, sintering at this temperature can improve the bonding strength between the slurry and the battery cell. At the same time, the inventor speculates that sintering at this temperature may play a certain role in repairing irregular hidden cracks in the battery cell.

[0032] As a possible design, the battery cell is placed on a conveyor belt during the sintering process, and the sintering belt speed is 1.8-3.8 m / min. Sintering at this speed can ensure full contact between the slurry and the battery cell, thereby improving the ohmic contact effect.

[0033] As a possible design, the above-mentioned light injection annealing treatment is divided into 5 temperature zones, and the battery cell will pass through 5 temperature zones in turn. The temperature of temperature zone 1 is 600-640℃, the temperature of temperature zone 2 is 600-640℃, the temperature of temperature zone 3 is 550-600℃, the temperature of temperature zone 4 is 540-580℃, and the temperature of temperature zone 5 is 520-560℃. Hydrogen passivation can be achieved by zoning the light injection treatment of the battery. H atoms in the silicon nitride passivation film are activated by annealing; irradiation controls the valence state of H atoms so that they combine with the recombination center (defect) at the P+ emitter and the N-type substrate to form a non-recombination center. Finally, a good passivation effect is achieved to achieve the purpose of improving Voc and FF, so the overall effect of light injection annealing + irradiation is to play a role in hydrogen passivation.

[0034] As a possible design, during the above light injection, the cell is placed on a conveyor belt and passes through five temperature zones in sequence at a belt speed of 1.8 to 3.8 m / min, and then cooled.

[0035] As a possible design, the irradiation power of the above light injection is 90% of the maximum power.

[0036] Preferably, the maximum irradiation power is 45.5KW.

[0037] As a possible design, the deflection voltage of the above laser-assisted sintering is -13 to -19 V, and the power is 17% of the maximum power.

[0038] Preferably, the above maximum power is 45.5KW.

[0039] As a possible design, the above cell was also checked by EL test (electroluminescence test) after laser assisted sintering process.
