Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, in particular to a high-temperature-resistant and acetic acid-resistant conductive paste and a photovoltaic module. BACKGROUND

[0002] EVA is a transparent adhesive with good flexibility and bonding performance, good light transmission performance and aging resistance. It encapsulates the crystalline silicon module with "upper cover and lower pad", and is bonded into one body with the upper protective material glass and the lower protective material TPT by vacuum laminating technology to form a crystalline silicon module. The single-glass photovoltaic module absorbs solar energy from one side of the module, and the double-glass photovoltaic module absorbs solar energy from both sides and is composed of two tempered glasses, POE or EVA adhesive film and battery pieces.

[0003] The formal name of EVA resin is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and the content of vinyl acetate in EVA used in photovoltaic modules is usually 28-33%. In a high-temperature and high-humidity environment, the hydrolysis of EVA to produce acetic acid is inevitable, and the acetic acid accumulated in the photovoltaic module becomes an important inducement for most of the quality problems of the photovoltaic module. In a high-temperature and high-humidity acetic acid environment, the solar energy minority life is affected, the metal electrode contact site and the Ag-Si ohmic contact are greatly reduced, and the power of the module is seriously attenuated with the increase of the wet heat time. Therefore, the acetic acid produced under high-temperature conditions leads to the reduction of battery performance, interacts with the electrode, causes the degradation of the metalization site and the battery piece interface, increases the contact resistance, and the EL imaging is a dark area, which seriously affects the battery efficiency.

[0027] The embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to examples thereof as illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, same numbers refer to same elements in all figures unless otherwise described. The embodiments described in the following examples do not represent all the implementations consistent with the present application. They are merely examples of systems and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the claims.

[0028] In order to solve the problem that the acetic acid produced by decomposition of EVA under high temperature conditions affects the efficiency of the battery of the double-sided EVA assembly packaged battery, the application provides a high-temperature-resistant and acetic acid-resistant conductive paste and a photovoltaic module. The paste comprises a main glass powder and a secondary glass powder, the mass fraction of the main glass powder in the paste is 1.5% to 2.5%, the mass fraction of the secondary glass powder is 0.2% to 1%, the secondary glass powder is a Bi-Si-B-Al system glass, and the total molar percentage content of the secondary glass powder is 100%, the secondary glass powder comprises Bi2O3 and TeO2, the total content of which is 10% to 50%, SiO2 and GeO2, the total content of which is 15% to 30%, B2O3 18% to 30%, Al2O3 0% to 20%, and a modified additive 1% to 20%.

[0029] EVA plays a role of air and electrical insulation in the assembly, protects it from mechanical damage and prevents corrosion from the external environment. However, under the action of photosynthetic heat, acetic acid is the decomposition product of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) as a module packaging material. Acetic acid solution does not basically corrode pure aluminum under normal temperature conditions, but as the temperature rises, the corrosion rate accelerates, and the corrosion rate of 1% dilute acetic acid solution on aluminum at boiling temperature is 100 times that at normal temperature; the corrosion rate of acetic acid on aluminum is also related to the purity of aluminum, and the aluminum with low purity, such as containing iron, silicon, aluminum salt and other impurities on the surface, forms a loose and non-dense oxidation protective film, and has low corrosion resistance.

[0030] The minority carrier lifetime of solar cells is also increasing, i.e. the diffusion length of the minority carriers is increasing, and when the diffusion length of the minority carriers is comparable to or exceeds the thickness of the silicon wafer, the recombination at the back surface becomes significant for the solar cell properties. The back surface field is formed by sintering a silicon-aluminum alloy, and the aluminum acts as a P-type dopant in silicon, which reduces the recombination of the minority carriers at the metal-silicon interface, thereby increasing the open circuit voltage and the short circuit current. The quality of the aluminum back surface field directly influences the output properties of the solar cell.

[0031] The solder strip is soaked in dilute acetic acid solution at 60℃ for one week, the front main grid lines of the cell become yellow, the back grid lines of the cell become black, and the aluminum back field of the cell back falls off. The acetic acid produced by EVA can cause electrochemical corrosion of the tin-coated copper solder strip, and at the same time, it can corrode and oxidize the silver grid lines on the surface of the cell, making them black, and it can also corrode the aluminum back field of the cell, reducing the adhesion of the aluminum back field to the silicon wafer, which seriously affects the electrical performance of the cell. Further reduce the electrical performance of the module. Therefore, in the future development of photovoltaic modules, new packaging materials, new EVA formulations or other measures to reduce the generation of acetic acid by EVA aging need to be studied to protect the cell from the harm of acetic acid and have a longer service life.

[0032] More importantly, acetic acid interacts with metallization, often leading to degradation of the interface between the front metallization contacts and the underlying silicon (Si) substrate. This results in loss of cell performance and contact adhesion, increased contact resistance, and dark areas seen in electroluminescence (EL) imaging, so it is urgent to develop new pastes that are more resistant to acetic acid.

[0033] The introduction of Ti can improve the acetic acid performance of the glass, and the application adjusts the low solubility of the electrode grid line in acetic acid through the secondary glass (Pb-Ti-Si-B system glass), improves the good chemical stability of the electrode, and resists the erosion of acetic acid.
