Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cell sheets, and in particular to a multi-busbar solar cell and a photovoltaic module. Background Art

[0002] Solar cells convert sunlight energy directly into electrical energy without producing any pollutants, so solar cells are becoming more and more popular. Metallization is a key step in the production process of solar cells. It is to print electrode paste on the surface of solar cells and dry it to form metallized contact to conduct current. Solar cells include cells. The front of the cell is usually printed with multiple criss-crossing main grids and fine grids. The fine grids can collect the photocurrent converted by the cell. The photocurrent collected by the fine grids is collected on the main grid, and the main grid is then connected to the external solder ribbon component material through the pads on it. There are solder points or pads on the grid, but the pads or solder points on the grid generally occupy a large proportion of the space of the main grid. Therefore, if a main grid with solder points or pads is used, the main grid itself is relatively thick, then the pads and solder points on the main grid will cause shading and increase the cost of silver paste.

[0003] The existing announcement number is CN107170844A, and the name is a main grid-free solar cell, including a substrate with a front and a back side, a front electrode formed on the front side of the substrate, the front electrode is composed of a plurality of fine grids arranged on the front side of the substrate, and the solar cell also includes a plurality of columns of welding strips for collecting and transmitting the current collected by each fine grid, each column of welding strips is connected to the front side of the substrate through a column of welding points arranged on the front side of the substrate, and each fine grid is in contact with at least one column of welding strips to be conductive, the main grid on the traditional front electrode is completely removed, and a plurality of columns of welding points are designed, so that after the welding strips are welded at the component end, a grid-distributed main grid-free front electrode can be formed, which can effectively optimize the current transmission path, increase the effective conduction of current, and avoid the influence of broken grids on current collection.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned main grids are all provided with welding points or welding pads, but the welding pads or welding points on the group grid generally occupy a large proportion of the space of the main grid. Therefore, if a main grid with welding points or welding pads is used, the outer diameter of the main grid itself is large, then the welding pads and welding points on the main grid will cause shading and increase the amount of silver paste used. The shading phenomenon of the welding pads and welding points reduces the power generation efficiency of the solar cell panel, and the increase in the amount of silver paste used increases the production cost of the solar cell.
