[0050] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0051] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0052] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a flow chart of an automated testing method for a solar cell module provided in an embodiment of the present application. The automated testing method for a solar cell module comprises:

[0053] 100. Automatically place the solar cell modules on the test bench.

[0054] Specifically, the automatic transport device is controlled to place the solar panels on the loading and unloading assembly; when it is detected that the solar cell panels are placed at the loading and unloading assembly, the loading and unloading assembly is controlled to open the pallet at the set position; the solar cell panels on the pallet are automatically scanned to read the component numbers; after visual positioning compensation for the solar cell panels, the intelligent robotic arm is controlled to grab the components and place them on the test bench.

[0055] Therefore, the automatic control system controls the automatic transport device, visual positioning device and intelligent robotic arm to operate the solar cell modules, automating the entire process and improving the test efficiency.

[0056] 200. Perform a flash IV current and voltage test on the solar cell module to generate an IV curve.

[0057] Optionally, a flash IV current and voltage test is performed on the solar cell assembly, the current value is measured under different load voltage values, and the data set of the measured voltage value and current value is plotted to form an IV curve.

[0058] It should be noted that the flash IV test simulates sunlight exposure and uses a flash lamp to emit high-intensity light in a short period of time to excite electron-hole pairs in photovoltaic materials, thereby forming a photocurrent. By measuring the change in this current, the photoelectric conversion efficiency and other related performance parameters of the photovoltaic module can be evaluated.

[0059] Specifically, a light source simulator or flashlight is used to illuminate the solar cell module quickly and with high intensity to simulate the effect of sunlight. The intensity and spectral distribution of the light source should be as close as possible to actual sunlight to ensure the reliability of the test results. While the light source is irradiating, the IV tester will measure the current and voltage output of the solar cell module in real time. These data points will be recorded for subsequent drawing of the IV curve.

[0060] It should be noted that in order to ensure the integrity and accuracy of the data, the voltage value, current value and corresponding test conditions (such as light intensity, temperature, etc.) of each test point should be recorded in detail.

[0061] In addition, the collected current and voltage data are sorted from large to small according to the voltage value, and the corresponding current value is calculated to obtain a series of voltage-current corresponding data points. Use drawing software (such as Excel, Python's Matplotlib library, etc.) to plot the voltage-current data points on the coordinate system and connect them into a smooth curve, namely the IV curve. By observing the IV curve, key parameters of solar cell modules can be extracted, such as open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Isc), maximum power point (MPP) and fill factor (FF), which are crucial for evaluating the performance and efficiency of the module.

[0062] Performance analysis: Based on the shape of the IV curve and the values ​​of key parameters, the performance of the solar cell module can be analyzed. For example, higher open circuit voltage and short circuit current values ​​usually mean better output performance; while a higher fill factor indicates that the module has a higher efficiency near the maximum power point.

[0063] Thus, the IV curve of the solar cell module is obtained through testing, so as to evaluate the device parameters such as the performance and working status of the module.

[0064] 300. If there is an abnormality in the IV curve, a cyclic detection is performed, the position of the solar cell with the abnormal curve is marked, and then the solar cell module is subjected to an EL electroluminescence test.

[0065] Optionally, the abnormal solar cell panels can be screened out and marked by shortening the detection length of the abnormal solar cell modules.

[0066] It should be noted that EL electroluminescence testing is a non-destructive testing method that uses the weak light emitted by a solar cell when it is powered on to detect defects and damage inside the cell. When a solar cell is stimulated by a forward voltage, the defective and damaged areas inside it will emit brighter or darker light than normal areas, so problems can be identified by observing the distribution of light.

[0067] Specifically, connect the solar cell module to the EL tester and set appropriate test parameters (such as voltage, current, etc.). Then, observe the light emitted by the module in a dark room or light-shielding device. By comparing the light intensity distribution in normal and abnormal areas, the defects and damage inside the battery can be identified. Among them, based on the results of the EL test, the cause of the abnormal IV curve can be further confirmed. For example, if the EL image shows obvious dark spots or bright spots on a certain cell, there may be problems such as cracks, open circuits or short circuits inside the cell.

[0068] Optionally, the solar cell that needs to be repaired or replaced can be determined based on the results of the EL test and the abnormal performance of the IV curve, and then the repair or replacement work can be carried out accurately according to the marked position. After the repair or replacement is completed, the IV test and EL test need to be carried out again to ensure that the performance of the component has returned to normal. At the same time, the quality of the repair or replacement process needs to be monitored to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the work.

[0069] 400. If the IV curve is normal, directly perform EL electroluminescence test on the solar cell module.

[0070] 500. Evaluate the equipment parameters of the solar cell module according to the IV curve, obtain the defect characteristics of the solar cell module based on the results of the EL test, obtain the test results and archive them.

[0071] Optionally, analyze the IV curve to obtain the open circuit voltage, short circuit current and maximum power point of the solar cell module to evaluate the performance and working status of the solar cell module; determine whether the solar cell module has defect characteristics based on the EL image of the battery EL test, where the defect characteristics include hidden cracks and fingerprint defects.

[0075] Control the loading and unloading components to raise the next pallet to the set position and open the pallet.

[0076] It can be understood that after opening the next tray, the solar cell modules on the tray continue to be automatically scanned, the module numbers are read, and after visual positioning compensation of the solar cell modules, the intelligent robotic arm is controlled to grab the modules and place them on the test bench for testing the next solar cell module.

[0077] Thus, each time the tray that needs to be tested is raised to the set position, it is convenient for the intelligent robot arm to grab it for subsequent testing; the solar cell modules are tested automatically in sequence.

[0078] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the solar cell module automatic testing method of the embodiment of the present application can also be embodied as follows:

[0079] Record the module number of the abnormal solar cell module.

[0080] Shorten the detection length of abnormal solar cell modules, screen out abnormal solar cells and mark them.

[0081] The locations of abnormal solar cells are screened out and sent to the automation control system in combination with the component numbers.

[0082] Thus, the positions of abnormal solar cells are screened and recorded, which facilitates processing of the abnormal solar cells.

[0083] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the solar cell assembly automatic testing method of the embodiment of the present application can also be embodied as follows: after the solar cell assembly is automatically placed on the test bench, the method further includes:
