AI Technical Summary
Existing interconnection methods for grid-less back-contact battery modules suffer from low yield and poor reliability. This is mainly due to the complex process, which leads to cell warping and grid breakage caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the solder ribbons on the fine grid lines, thus affecting the power generation performance and reliability of the battery modules.
The conductive adhesive, consisting of a soldering flux and a conductive connector, is used in conjunction with insulating adhesive to simplify the process. The conductive connector ensures the continuity of current collection and prevents breakage of fine grid lines.
The process was simplified, the risk of cell warping was reduced, the yield and reliability of the cells were improved, and the stability of current collection was ensured.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery production, in particular to a method for interconnecting a back contact battery module without main grid. BACKGROUND
[0002] In solar applications, photovoltaic power generation is an important application method, which is gradually widely used due to its advantages of no noise, maintenance-free, no emission, etc. Crystalline silicon solar cells dominate the photovoltaic power generation field, which is mainly due to the rich reserves of silicon material in the earth's crust, relatively mature photovoltaic power generation technology and lower cost.
[0003] At present, the main method for interconnecting the battery module without main grid back contact battery in the photovoltaic industry is to use the laminated welding method of battery pieces, which can be referred to as the prior art. Figures 1-3 That is, tin paste, insulating glue, and curing glue are printed on the battery piece in turn, and then the solder strip is laid on the battery piece to be fixed, and the welding of the solder strip and the fine grid is completed in the laminating process. The function of the insulating glue is to avoid short circuit caused by direct contact of the solder strip with the fine grid line with opposite polarity; the function of the tin paste is to increase the height of the welding part, thereby assisting welding; the function of the curing glue is to fix the solder strip to avoid its deviation during lamination. The specific steps are as follows: near the position (welding part) where the fine grid of the battery piece contacts the solder strip, insulating glue is printed on the fine grid line with opposite polarity, and drying treatment is performed. Then, tin paste is printed on the welding part, and drying is performed again. Finally, curing glue is printed at the position where the solder strip contacts the battery piece with a certain gap, the solder strip is laid on the battery piece, the battery string is heated and dried, and then glass, film, battery string, film, and back plate are laminated in turn, and then sent into the laminator for lamination, thereby completing the interconnection welding of the back contact module without main grid.
[0004] The disadvantage of the above interconnection method is low yield and poor reliability. Since the battery piece needs to be printed and dried three times, the process is complex, and the battery piece undergoes three cold and hot cycles, which causes the battery piece to warp, affects the mechanical strength of the battery piece, and thus leads to a decrease in the yield of the battery module. In addition, since the battery piece no longer has a main grid, the solder strip can only collect current through the fine grid, and the width of the fine grid is small. The solder strip welded thereon frequently applies shear stress to the fine grid due to thermal expansion and contraction during outdoor cold and hot cycles, and the fine grid is prone to breakage under the action of this stress, causing the current of the entire fine grid to be unable to be collected, which seriously affects the power generation performance of the battery module and leads to a lack of reliability of the battery module. Based on this, a method for interconnecting a back contact battery module without main grid is proposed. SUMMARY
