Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a back-contact solar cell sheet and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Back-contact solar cells, or BC (Back Contact) cells, do not refer to a type of battery, but a battery technology platform. In order to reduce front shading, all battery electrodes are directly integrated on the back of the battery, and the positive and negative metal grid lines are arranged in a cross-shaped pattern on the back of the battery. As a technology platform, back-contact solar cells can be combined with other batteries. Combining with heterojunction cells (HJT cells) is HBC, and combining with tunneling oxide passivation cells (Topcon) is TBC, etc. Through combination, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the corresponding battery can be effectively improved. Therefore, the optimization and improvement of the BC battery manufacturing process has positive social significance and economic value for the development of photovoltaic fields and solar cells.

[0003] The current manufacturing process of BC batteries is complicated, especially for the production of positive and negative metal grid lines and electrodes. If electroplating is used, it is necessary to first prepare a bottom electrode on the back of the battery cell, and then prepare a protective coating on the surface of the bottom electrode by electroplating. After that, the positive and negative metal grid lines are gradually manufactured through multiple steps. This is the current mainstream process for manufacturing BC battery grid lines.

[0004] However, the metal grid lines produced in this way are of poor quality, and the bonding strength between the grid lines and the battery cells is insufficient. At the same time, when using solder ribbons for connection, soldering is required, which generally requires relatively high temperatures, which may affect the temperature-sensitive parts inside the battery cells, resulting in reduced efficiency of the battery cells or partial failure. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention provides a back-contact solar cell and a preparation method thereof, which are used to solve the defects of the prior art such as complex process and poor product quality, and simplify the process while ensuring product quality.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a back-contact solar cell sheet, comprising a silicon substrate, wherein the backlight surface of the silicon substrate is provided with staggered P+ doped layers, N+ doped layers, N++ doped layers and open areas between the P+ doped layers and the N+ doped layers, and the backlight surface of the silicon substrate is also provided with an insulating film, wherein the insulating film covers the open areas, the N+ doped layers, part of the P+ doped layers and part of the N++ doped layers, and the uncovered parts of the P+ doped layers and the N++ doped layers are both provided with electrodes; the electrodes are higher than the insulating film.

[0007] In the prior art, the mask used for pattern transfer is generally removed, while the insulating film in the present invention is finally left on the battery cell, which not only simplifies the steps, but also plays an insulating and protective (weather-resistant, reflective, water-blocking, etc.) role, and further limits the electrode to be higher than the insulating film, which can ensure the lead-out of the electrode and facilitate the positioning of the electrode in subsequent processes.

[0008] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the insulating film is a cured product of an insulating resin composition, and when the insulating film is a transparent insulating film, its transmittance is greater than 82% within the wavelength range of 400 nm to 1200 nm; when the insulating film is a non-transparent insulating film, its reflectivity is greater than 78% within the wavelength range of 400 nm to 1200 nm.

[0009] The insulating resin composition of the present invention comprises: 20-45 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 8-10 parts by weight of epoxy curing agent, 2-6 parts by weight of curing agent accelerator, and 0-120 parts by weight of filler, dye and / or pigment.

[0011] Preferably, the insulating resin composition further comprises: 30 to 65 parts by weight of an alkali-soluble resin, 15 to 40 parts by weight of a photosensitive monomer and 1 to 5 parts by weight of a photoinitiator.

[0012] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the width of the open area is 10-100 μm.

[0013] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the width of the electrode is 5-100 μm.

[0014] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the thickness of the P+ doping layer and the N+ doping layer are both 100-500 nm.

[0015] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the thickness of the N++ doped layer is 15-35 nm.

[0016] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the thickness of the insulating film is 5-15 μm.

[0017] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the electrode is 3-5 μm higher than the insulating film.

[0018] In the above scheme, the structural firmness of the battery cell is enhanced by controlling the thickness of the insulating film and each layer, and it can also play the role of insulation and protection (weather resistance, reflection, water blocking, etc.).

[0019] In order to protect the electrode coating from water corrosion, it is preferred to use a protective film to fully cover the protective circuit metal.

[0020] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, a protective film is further provided on the outer surface of the insulating film, and the water vapor transmission rate of the protective film is ≤15 g / m 2 •day, volume resistivity ≥10 13 Ω•m; preferably, the thickness of the protective film is 25~35 μm.

[0021] The protective film of the present invention can adopt the formula of the insulating film, and can also be obtained through regular commercial channels to obtain a protective film that meets the above-mentioned water vapor permeability and volume resistivity.

[0022] When the insulating film formula is adopted, the raw material composition of the protective film includes: 20-45 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 8-10 parts by weight of epoxy curing agent, 2-6 parts by weight of curing agent accelerator, and 0-120 parts by weight of filler, dye and / or pigment.

[0023] The epoxy resin includes one or more of bisphenol A epoxy resin, bisphenol F epoxy resin, bisphenol S epoxy resin, biphenyl epoxy resin, novolac epoxy resin, epoxy resin containing naphthalene ring, alicyclic epoxy resin, and sulfur-containing epoxy resin; The epoxy curing agent includes one or more of hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer, isophorone diisocyanate trimer, hydrogenated xylylene isocyanate trimer, phenolic resin curing agent, naphthol curing agent with phenolic resin structure, and phenolic curing agent containing triazine skeleton; The curing accelerator includes one or more of imidazole derivatives, pyridine compounds, imidazole quaternary ammonium salts, pyridine quaternary ammonium salts, and urea derivatives.

[0024] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the light-facing surface (also referred to as the front surface) of the silicon substrate is provided with a velvet structure and an anti-reflection layer to increase light capture and reduce reflection. The velvet structure may be a pyramid velvet structure.

[0025] Preferably, a front passivation layer is further provided between the suede structure and the anti-reflection layer.

[0026] Further preferably, the anti-reflection layer is selected from one or more of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon nitride. The front passivation layer is selected from one or more of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide, and the thickness of the front passivation layer is preferably 80-200 nm.

[0027] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned back-contact solar cell.

[0028] The preparation method provided by the present invention comprises the step of providing an insulating film on the backlight surface of a silicon substrate, wherein the step of providing the insulating film adopts one of the following two methods: Method 1: Use film lamination to apply the photosensitive insulating film to the back of the cell, and then form an electrode pattern through exposure and development; The remaining photosensitive insulating film portion after the above treatment is subjected to secondary curing at 130-150° C. for 5-15 minutes to fix the pattern.

[0029] Method 2: Printing the insulating resin composition on the back of the battery cell by screen printing to form an insulating resin composition film layer; The insulating resin composition film layer is thermally cured at 130-150° C. for 5-15 minutes to fix the pattern.

[0030] Specifically, when the insulating resin composition is a photosensitive resin composition, method one can be used, i.e. transferring the pattern by laminating, exposing and developing, and then thermally curing and shaping; method two can also be used, i.e. thermally curing and photocuring after screen printing.

[0031] When the insulating resin composition is a non-photosensitive resin composition, the second method is used, that is, the pattern is transferred by screen printing and then thermally cured to fix the shape.

[0032] The preparation of the insulating resin composition includes: according to the formula, the components are mixed evenly in proportion, a certain amount of butanone or other solvents that can evenly disperse the components are added, and then stirred until they are evenly dispersed to prepare an insulating resin composition glue with a solid content of 45-75%.

[0033] In method 1, a photosensitive insulating film needs to be prepared in advance before film lamination, and the preparation steps include: The insulating resin composition glue is evenly coated on the surface of the support film, and pre-baked at 70-85°C for 5-15 minutes to form an insulating resin composition film layer with a thickness of 10-15 μm; then, a release protective film is attached to the surface to obtain a photosensitive resin composition film with double-sided protection, which is placed in a freezer for storage and taken out for thawing when used, and the support film and the release protective film are peeled off to obtain the photosensitive insulating film.

[0034] After the photosensitive insulating film is obtained, a vacuum laminating machine, a roller laminating machine or a fast laminating machine may be used for laminating.

[0035] According to the method for preparing a back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, after providing an insulating film,

[0036] Grooving the exposed electrode sites, providing an N++ doping layer at the grooves, and performing HF activation treatment; Electroless metal plating is performed on the N++ doped layer by chemical deposition; After the metal layer is plated by chemical deposition, the coating thickness is thickened by electroplating to ensure that the coating reaches the required level.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, chemical metal plating is performed on the N++ doped layer by chemical deposition, including: The cell after HF activation treatment is further subjected to catalytic activation treatment to form activation sites; Chemical deposition is used to chemically plate metal on the exposed electrode sites and the N++ doped layer. Metals such as Ni, Cu, and Ag can be chemically plated. 0.5~1.5 μm of metal is chemically plated.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the coating is increased by electroplating to ensure that the coating reaches the required thickness, including: Electrodes with 0.5~1.5μm metal deposited by chemical deposition already have good conductivity and can be further electroplated to quickly attach to electrodes of required thickness, generally 5~20μm.

[0039] The present invention provides a back-contact solar cell and a method for preparing the same. A permanent insulating film is provided for pattern transfer, and the back electrode of the cell is formed in one step. Meanwhile, the solder strip structure is reduced, and a high-temperature process flow is avoided, thereby effectively improving the production efficiency of the cell and ensuring the functional effectiveness of the cell.

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] If no specific techniques or conditions are specified in the examples, the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the field or the product instructions are used. If no manufacturer is specified for the reagents or instruments used, they are all conventional products that can be purchased through regular channels.

[0046] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a back-contact solar cell sheet, comprising a silicon substrate, wherein the backlight surface of the silicon substrate is provided with staggered P+ doped layers, N+ doped layers, N++ doped layers and open areas between the P+ doped layers and the N+ doped layers, and the backlight surface of the silicon substrate is also provided with an insulating film, wherein the insulating film covers the open areas, the N+ doped layers, part of the P+ doped layers and part of the N++ doped layers, and the uncovered parts of the P+ doped layers and the N++ doped layers are both provided with electrodes; the electrodes are higher than the insulating film.

[0047] In the prior art, the mask used for pattern transfer is generally removed, but the insulating film in the present invention is finally left on the battery cell, which not only simplifies the steps, but also plays an insulating and protective (weather-resistant, light-reflective, water-blocking, etc.) role.

[0048] It should be noted that N+ doping and P+ doping are doping modes with slightly higher doping concentrations than N doping and P doping. In the field of solar cells, there are also N++ doping and P++ doping, which are doping with higher concentrations. N doping and P doping are common doping of substrate silicon wafers.

[0049] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the insulating film is a cured product of an insulating resin composition. The insulating film may be a transparent insulating film or a non-transparent insulating film, and typical non-transparent insulating films are white insulating films or black insulating films. When it is a white insulating film, the white insulating film can reflect light (visible, infrared, etc. can be reflected) so that it is reabsorbed by the cell, thereby improving the light utilization rate of the cell, and ultimately improving the efficiency of the module. When it is a black insulating film, the aesthetics of the module can be improved, which is more in line with the requirements of BIPV (building integrated photovoltaics) for the appearance of the module. The black insulating film of a specific black pigment can also reflect infrared so that it is reabsorbed by the cell, thereby improving the light utilization rate of the cell, ultimately improving the efficiency of the module, and can also reduce the phenomenon of heating of the module due to the absorption of infrared by other hierarchical structures in the module.

[0050] Specifically, when the insulating film is a transparent insulating film, its average transmittance within the wavelength range of 400 nm to 1200 nm is greater than 82%; when the insulating film is a non-transparent insulating film, its average reflectivity within the wavelength range of 400 nm to 1200 nm is greater than 78%.

[0051] The insulating resin composition of the present invention comprises: 20-45 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 8-10 parts by weight of epoxy curing agent, 2-6 parts by weight of curing agent accelerator, and 0-120 parts by weight of filler, dye and / or pigment.

[0052] The epoxy resin includes one or more of bisphenol A epoxy resin, bisphenol F epoxy resin, bisphenol S epoxy resin, biphenyl epoxy resin, novolac epoxy resin, epoxy resin containing naphthalene ring, alicyclic epoxy resin, and sulfur-containing epoxy resin. Novolac epoxy resin and bisphenol A epoxy resin are preferred, and examples thereof include BNE-200 (bisphenol A novolac epoxy resin, epoxy equivalent 190-200 g / eq, softening point 60-68°C); SH series (SH-3000, SH-7500, etc., bisphenol A epoxy resin, epoxy equivalent 220-250 g / eq, Hunan Servi Technology Co., Ltd.).

[0053] The epoxy curing agent includes one or more of hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer, isophorone diisocyanate trimer, hydrogenated xylylene isocyanate trimer, phenolic resin curing agent, naphthol curing agent with phenolic resin structure, and phenolic curing agent containing triazine skeleton.

[0054] The curing accelerator includes one or more of imidazole derivatives, pyridine compounds, imidazole quaternary ammonium salts, pyridine quaternary ammonium salts, and urea derivatives.

[0055] The fillers include commonly used fillers such as silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. Among them, titanium dioxide can be used as a filler (a small amount of it is added to the insulating film, and the film is still transparent), and can also be used as a white pigment to make the insulating film appear white. A small amount of silicon dioxide is added to the insulating film, and the insulating film is still transparent, but if it is added more, the insulating film may also appear white. That is, in theory, fillers can be added to transparent insulating films, but in actual operation, fillers, dyes, pigments and other additives are not required.

[0056] It is understandable that when the insulating film is a transparent insulating film, the insulating resin composition contains no or a small amount of dyes and / or pigments, and when the insulating film is a non-transparent insulating film, the insulating resin composition contains certain dyes and / or pigments to make the insulating film present the expected color. For example, when it is a white insulating film, white pigments such as titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, and calcium carbonate can be added alone, or white pigments and blue colorants can be added, because blue colorants can reduce the yellowing of white films; when it is a black insulating film, direct light-fast dyes, direct diazo dyes, direct cross-linking dyes, perylene black, carbon black and other dyes and / or pigments can be added, and color pigments (such as red, yellow, and blue, red, green, and blue, etc.) that make the film appear black after compounding can also be added, or black pigments + other color pigments can be added.

[0057] In order to allow the insulating film formed by curing to be photolithographically processed, preferably, the resin composition further comprises: 30 to 65 parts by weight of an alkali-soluble resin, 15 to 40 parts by weight of a photosensitive monomer and 1 to 5 parts by weight of a photoinitiator.

[0058] The alkali-soluble resin refers to a carboxyl-containing methacrylic acid and / or acrylic acid-modified epoxy resin, including (meth) acrylic acid-modified (including methacrylic acid modification and / or acrylic acid modification) bisphenol A epoxy resin, (meth) acrylic acid-modified bisphenol F epoxy resin, (meth) acrylic acid-modified bisphenol AF oligomer epoxy resin, (meth) acrylic acid-modified phenolic epoxy resin or (meth) acrylic acid-modified cresol phenolic epoxy resin. Examples include DIC's UE-9090, Nippon Kayaku's CCR series, UXE series, ZAR series, ZFR series, etc. For example, ZFR1401H in the ZFR series (bisphenol F epoxy acrylic resin, Nippon Kayaku, solid acid value 100 mgKOH / g).

[0059] The photosensitive monomer includes an acrylic ester monomer with a refractive index of 1.45 to 1.58. The refractive index affects the subsequent reflection. Too low or too high will affect the reflectivity, and it needs to be controlled within the range of 1.45 to 1.58. Specifically, one or more of the following monomers can be selected: Monofunctional (meth)acrylates such as (ethoxy)phenol (meth)acrylate, ethoxy (propoxy)nonylphenol (meth)acrylate, ethoxy (propoxy)tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate; trifunctional (meth)acrylates such as 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, tricyclohexanedimethanol diacrylate, dioxanediol diacrylate, ethoxylated (propoxylated) bisphenol A di(meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate, ethoxy (propoxy) trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol triacrylate, tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanuric acid triacrylate; dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, ethoxylated pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, aliphatic polyurethane hexaacrylate).

[0060] The photoinitiator can be a conventional photoinitiator in the art. Preferably, when there is a requirement for whether the insulating film turns yellow, for example, if the white insulating film needs to consider whether it turns yellow, a non-yellowing photopolymerization initiator is used, such as 1-hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanone, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphine oxide, bis (2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phenylphosphine oxide, 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl phenylphosphonic acid ethyl ester, oxime ester photoinitiator, etc. Because some photoinitiators will produce yellowing fragments after absorbing light energy and cracking. On this basis, considering the effect of improving the photocuring performance of the insulating resin composition and improving the photosensitivity, the two types of photopolymerization initiators, acylphosphine oxide and oxime ester, are preferred.

[0061] In order to meet other performance requirements, additives may be appropriately added according to specific circumstances. That is, the insulating resin composition further includes 0 to 8 parts by weight of other additives. The other additives include one or more of ultraviolet absorbers, antioxidants, defoamers, leveling agents, etc.

[0062] Specifically, the ultraviolet absorber can be benzophenone and / or benzotriazole. The antioxidant can be selected from phenolic antioxidants, hindered amine antioxidants, etc. The defoamer can be one or more of an organosilicon defoamer, a polyether defoamer, and a paraffin defoamer. The leveling agent can be one or more of a modified polysiloxane leveling agent and a long-chain resin leveling agent.

[0063] The insulating resin composition provided by the present invention can form a battery cell electrode pattern by photolithography and / or screen printing, and then form electrodes by chemical deposition and electroplating, thereby simplifying the electrode manufacturing process and effectively improving the quality of the electrode and the bonding strength with the battery cell. At the same time, the process flow does not have a high-temperature treatment section, which can effectively protect the internal structure of the battery cell from the influence of high temperature, thereby effectively maintaining the functional utility of the battery cell.

[0064] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the width of the open area is 10-100 μm.

[0065] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the width of the electrode is 5-100 μm.

[0066] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the thickness of the P+ doped layer and the N+ doped layer are both 100-500 nm, the thickness of the N++ doped layer is 15-35 nm, the thickness of the insulating film is 5-15 μm, and the electrode is 3-5 μm higher than the insulating film.

[0067] The present invention controls the thickness of the insulating film and each layer so that the layers can play a synergistic role and strengthen the structural firmness of the battery sheet. In order to protect the electrode coating from water corrosion, it is preferred to use a protective film to fully cover the protective circuit metal.

[0068] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, a protective film is further provided on the outer surface of the insulating film, and the water vapor transmission rate of the protective film is ≤15 g / m 2 •day, volume resistivity ≥10 13 Ω•m; preferably, the thickness of the protective film is 25~35 μm.

[0069] The protective film of the present invention can adopt the formula of the insulating film, and can also be obtained through regular commercial channels to obtain a protective film that meets the above-mentioned water vapor permeability and volume resistivity.

[0070] When the insulating film formula is used, the raw material composition of the protective film includes: 20-45 parts by weight of epoxy resin, 8-10 parts by weight of epoxy curing agent, 2-6 parts by weight of curing agent accelerator, and 0-120 parts by weight of filler, dye and / or pigment. The specific types of each component are the same as those in the insulating film formula, and will not be repeated here.

[0071] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the light-facing surface (also referred to as the front surface) of the silicon substrate is provided with a velvet structure and an anti-reflection layer to increase light capture and reduce reflection. The velvet structure may be a pyramid velvet structure.

[0072] Preferably, a front passivation layer is provided between the velvet structure and the anti-reflection layer. The passivation layer can significantly improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery and enhance the stability and durability of the battery. The passivation layer can be used on the light-facing side of the battery cell or on the backlight side of the battery cell.

[0073] Further preferably, the anti-reflection layer is selected from one or more of silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, and silicon nitride. The front passivation layer is selected from one or more of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide, and the thickness of the front passivation layer is preferably 80-200 nm.

[0074] According to the back-contact solar cell provided by the present invention, the backlight surface of the silicon substrate is also provided with a tunneling oxide layer and a back passivation layer, the tunneling oxide layer is located at the innermost side of the backlight surface of the silicon substrate, and the back passivation layer is located between the P+ doped layer and the electrode, and between the N+ doped layer, the N++ doped layer and the electrode.

[0075] Preferably, the tunneling oxide layer is silicon oxide; the back passivation layer is selected from one or more of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, aluminum oxide, and silicon carbide, and the thickness of the back passivation layer is 60-180 nm.

[0076] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned back-contact solar cell.

[0077] The preparation method provided by the present invention comprises the step of providing an insulating film on the backlight surface of a silicon substrate, wherein the step of providing the insulating film adopts one of the following two methods: Method 1: Use film lamination to apply the photosensitive insulating film to the back of the cell, and then form an electrode pattern through exposure and development; The remaining photosensitive insulating film portion after the above treatment is subjected to secondary curing at 130-150° C. for 5-15 minutes to fix the pattern.

[0078] Method 2: Printing the insulating resin composition on the back of the battery cell by screen printing to form an insulating resin composition film layer; The insulating resin composition film layer is thermally cured at 130-150° C. for 5-15 minutes to fix the pattern.

[0079] It should be noted that in method one, a window is opened in the photosensitive insulating film through exposure and development, and the shape of the window is consistent with the shape of the electrode, so it is called forming an electrode pattern.

[0080] Specifically, when the insulating resin composition is a photosensitive resin composition, method one can be used, i.e., transferring the pattern by film lamination, exposure and development, and then thermally curing and shaping; method two can also be used, i.e., screen printing, thermal curing and photocuring and shaping. When the insulating resin composition is a non-photosensitive resin composition, method two is used, i.e., screen printing, transferring the pattern, and then thermally curing and shaping. When the thickness of the insulating film is above 10 μm, method one is generally used; when the thickness of the insulating film is less than 10 μm, method two is generally used.
