Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photovoltaic component manufacturing, and in particular to a photovoltaic component for testing and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the testing process of existing photovoltaic modules, it is necessary to first prepare a photovoltaic module of conventional size by laminating the components to be tested with other non-test components (for example, the battery array to be tested with other non-test cover plates, back plates, etc.) to meet the requirements of the test device and realize independent testing of the prepared photovoltaic modules. However, in order to reduce the test error, the specifications of conventional photovoltaic modules are often set larger, and it takes a lot of manpower and material costs to prepare independent photovoltaic modules for each component to be tested. Moreover, due to the material properties of the front film and the rear film, the existing photovoltaic modules are all laminated, and the front film and the rear film are fused through the lamination process to form an integral film layer sealed on the outside of the battery array. This results in the prepared test photovoltaic module being an integral structure, and after the test is completed, the components cannot be reused. Summary of the invention

[0037] A solar cell is a photoelectric semiconductor wafer that uses sunlight to generate electricity directly. It is also called a "solar chip" or "photovoltaic cell". As long as it is illuminated by light that meets certain illumination conditions, it can instantly output voltage and generate current in the presence of a circuit. In physics, it is called solar photovoltaic (PV), or photovoltaic for short. In order to conveniently and clearly describe the method for preparing a solar cell and the solar cell of the present invention, the following exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which include various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered to be merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a photovoltaic module for testing, and the preparation method may include the following steps:
[0039] Step S101, preparing each independent standard component; the standard component includes: at least one of a standard cover plate, a standard adhesive film, a standard battery array and a standard back plate;
[0040] Step S102, assembling a plurality of components to be tested with matching standard components respectively to obtain a plurality of stacked components 1; wherein the component to be tested is one of a cover plate to be tested, a battery array to be tested, and a back plate to be tested;
[0041] Step S103 , installing a splicing frame 2 on each stack 1 , and splicing a plurality of stacks 1 using the splicing frame 2 to obtain a photovoltaic module for testing.
[0042] In the actual testing of photovoltaic modules, a certain component in the module is usually used as a single variable for testing. For example, when testing a cover plate, the cover plate to be tested needs to be stacked with other standard adhesive films, standard battery arrays, and standard back plates to prepare a complete photovoltaic module before testing can be performed. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the component to be tested refers to the single component to be tested, and the matching standard component refers to other components that together with the single component constitute the photovoltaic module.
[0043] In the actual testing process of photovoltaic modules, the battery array, cover plate, and back plate in the photovoltaic module are usually tested, and the front film and the back film have little effect on the photovoltaic module, and the material is relatively universal, so the components to be tested in the embodiment of the present invention are mainly one of the cover plate to be tested, the battery array to be tested, and the back plate to be tested. In addition, for the standard component in step S101, it refers to the component whose performance and parameters meet the requirements prepared in accordance with the industry specification. Specifically, the standard film in step S101 can be used as both the front film and the back film when assembled with the component to be tested. Generally, the material of the front film and the back film is the same, so the embodiment of the present invention only prepares one standard film. It can be understood that when the front film and the back film are films of different materials in the actual application process, standard front films and standard back films can also be prepared separately, and for cover plates or back plates of different materials, multiple standard cover plates and standard back plates can also be prepared according to the different materials, so as to select according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present invention does not make specific restrictions on this.
[0044] In the process of preparing the standard adhesive film in step S101, in an optional embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, including:
[0045] Step S201, stacking a standard back plate, a first anti-adhesion layer, a film layer, a second anti-adhesion layer and a standard cover plate from bottom to top;
[0046] Step S202, laminating by using a laminator until the adhesive film layer is formed;
[0047] Step S203, after the lamination is completed, the standard cover plate, the second anti-adhesion layer, the first anti-adhesion layer and the standard back plate are removed in sequence to obtain a standard adhesive film.
[0048] It should be noted that in the prior art, although the front film and the rear film are laminated by lamination, the front film and the rear film are both non-transparent and fluid before lamination, and cannot be used as an independent component. Instead, they must go through a lamination process to make the film undergo a physical change, from a non-transparent fluid material to a transparent solidified material, and bonded to the battery array as a whole, thereby obtaining the final photovoltaic module. Different from the prior art, the independent standard film prepared by the embodiment of the present invention is itself in a transparent form after curing, and can be directly used as a component for assembly, and will not be bonded to the battery array during the assembly process of the photovoltaic module, nor will it undergo physical changes during the assembly process. After the test is completed, it can be disassembled into independent components and reused.
[0049] Among them, the purpose of the first anti-adhesion layer and the second anti-adhesion layer is to separate the adhesive film layer from the back plate and the cover plate, so that during the lamination process, the adhesive film layer can be formed separately to obtain a standard adhesive film, so the material of the first anti-adhesion layer and the second anti-adhesion layer should be a material that does not adhere to the adhesive film layer. In an optional embodiment, the material of the first anti-adhesion layer and / or the second anti-adhesion layer is anti-adhesion polytetrafluoroethylene cloth or an adhesive release film.
[0050] For the specific process of lamination in step S202, in an optional embodiment, the lamination temperature is 100°C to 160°C, such as 100°C, 120°C, 130°C, 150°C, 160°C, etc. Specifically, the lamination process is divided into multiple processes:
[0051] (1) First, the upper chamber and the lower chamber are set to a vacuum state for a vacuum treatment for 60 seconds to 420 seconds, so that the pressure of the upper chamber and the lower chamber is -110 kPa to -90 kPa, for example, -110 kPa, -100 kPa or -90 kPa;
[0052] (2) converting the upper chamber into an inflated state, inflating the upper chamber to a pressure of -90 kPa to -75 kPa, such as -90 kPa, -80 kPa or -75 kPa, while ensuring that the lower chamber is always in a vacuum state and the pressure is maintained at -110 kPa to -90 kPa, such as -110 kPa, -100 kPa or -90 kPa; laminating for 10 s to 60 s, such as 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 40 s, 50 s or 60 s;
[0053] (3) adjusting the pressure of the upper chamber to -55 kPa to -45 kPa, such as -55 kPa, -50 kPa or -45 kPa, and maintaining the pressure of the lower chamber unchanged, and continuing the lamination for 10 s to 60 s, such as 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 40 s, 50 s or 60 s;
[0054] (4) adjusting the pressure of the upper chamber to -35 kPa to -25 kPa, for example, -35 kPa, -20 kPa or -25 kPa, and maintaining the pressure of the lower chamber unchanged, and continuing the lamination for 180 s to 600 s, for example, 180 s, 200 s, 300 s, 400 s, 500 s or 600 s;
[0055] (5) The upper chamber and the lower chamber are both adjusted to an inflated state, and the lamination is continued for 30s to 60s, for example, 30s, 40s, 50s or 60s. Through the above process, the lower chamber can be used to discharge the air in the film layer, eliminate the bubbles generated during the lamination process and realize the formation of the film layer. At the same time, the pressure difference between the upper chamber and the lower chamber is used to completely dissolve the film layer, thereby obtaining a transparent standard film.
[0056] After obtaining each standard component, the standard components matching the component to be tested can be assembled according to the requirements of the component to be tested to obtain the stack 1. For example, when the component to be tested is a cover plate to be tested, the cover plate to be tested, the standard adhesive film, the standard battery array and the standard back plate are assembled to obtain the stack 1, and when the component to be tested is a battery array to be tested, the standard cover plate, the standard adhesive film, the battery array to be tested and the standard back plate are assembled to obtain the stack 1.
[0057] As for the specific process of assembly, it is actually achieved through lamination. However, compared with the lamination process of preparing the standard adhesive film in step S202, the lamination in step S102 is only for assembling multiple parts, and does not need to change the physical properties of the adhesive film. Therefore, room temperature lamination technology can be used. Compared with the lamination process in step S202, the pressure of the upper chamber and the lower chamber can be appropriately reduced, and the lamination time can be shortened to achieve the purpose of assembly. Specifically, it can include:
[0058] (1) The upper chamber and the lower chamber are set to a vacuum state, the pressure is -40 kPa to -20 kPa, for example, -40 kPa, -30 kPa or -20 kPa, and the vacuum time is 30 s to 70 s, for example, 30 s, 40 s, 50 s, 60 s or 70 s;
[0059] (2) The upper chamber is adjusted to an inflated state, and the pressure is set to -15 kPa to -5 kPa, such as -15 kPa, -10 kPa or -5 kPa, etc. The pressure of the lower chamber is kept unchanged, and the lamination is performed for 30 s to 600 s, such as 30 s, 100 s, 300 s, 500 s or 600 s, etc.;
[0060] (3) The upper chamber and the lower chamber are both set to an inflated state, and the lamination is performed for 10 seconds to 30 seconds, for example, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc.
[0061] It should be noted that in the prior art, each stack 1 is tested, so the test equipment needs to be installed separately with each stack 1, which invisibly increases the complexity of the test. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention utilizes a splicing frame 2 to splice multiple stacks 1. Only one test equipment needs to be installed to test multiple stacks 1 at the same time, which greatly improves the test efficiency.
[0062] For step S103, in an optional embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, including:
[0063] Step S301, installing a splicing frame 2 around each stacking piece 1, and filling a sealing layer between the splicing frame 2 and the stacking piece 1;
[0064] Step S302, using the slots 211 and the sockets 212 respectively provided on the side of the splicing frame 2, a plurality of stacked components 1 are serially connected into a stacked component 1 as a whole;
[0065] Step S303 , installing an outer frame 3 on the outer periphery of the stack 1 as a whole, and using an interlocking member 4 to fix the outer frame 3 and the stack 1 as a whole into one, so as to obtain a photovoltaic module for testing.
[0066] In order to ensure the sealing performance of each stack 1 during the test, the splicing frame 2 is arranged around the stack 1, and the stack 1 is sealed by a sealing layer between the splicing frame 2 and the stack 1.
[0067] For the slots 211 and the sockets 212 in step S302, in an optional embodiment, when multiple stacks 1 need to be connected in series, the slots 211 and the sockets 212 can be respectively arranged on two symmetrical sides of the stack 1, such as Figure 4 As shown, the left stack 1 can be plugged into the socket 212 of the right stack 1 through the slot 211 set on the right, so that multiple stacks 1 are connected in series. It can be understood that in the actual test process, multiple rows of stacks 1 can be set, such as Figure 5 As shown, each row of stacked components 1 is connected in series as a whole, and multiple rows of stacked components 1 are fixed together as a whole using an outer frame 3 and an interlocking member 4.
[0068] In summary, the method for preparing a photovoltaic module for testing provided by an embodiment of the present invention can prepare each independent standard component, and can select standard components that match the components to be tested according to the needs of the components to be tested for assembly to obtain different multiple stacked parts, thereby improving the flexibility of the photovoltaic module preparation process. Then, the assembly after splicing multiple stacked parts is used as the photovoltaic module for testing, and multiple different stacked parts can be tested simultaneously at one time, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the photovoltaic module. In addition, since each standard component is relatively independent and will not undergo deformation and chemical changes during the test process, it can still be reused after the test is completed, thereby improving the reuse rate of the photovoltaic module.
[0069] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The specific structure of the photovoltaic module for testing provided by the embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 5 and Figure 6 All of them are top views of the overall structure of the photovoltaic module, but Figure 5 Mainly to illustrate the location of the splicing assembly 21 and the connection relationship between the stacking member 1, the outer frame 3 and the interlocking member 4, the specific structures of the stacking member 1 and the splicing frame 2 are simplified. Figure 6 Mainly to illustrate the positional relationship between the splicing frame 2 and the stacking member 1, Figure 6 The external structures such as the outer frame 3 and the interlocking parts 4 are not shown.
[0070] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the photovoltaic component for testing provided by the present invention includes: a plurality of stacks 1 and a splicing frame 2 arranged on the periphery of the stacks 1; wherein the stacks 1 are assembled from components to be tested and a plurality of independent standard components matching the components to be tested; the components to be tested are mainly one of a cover plate to be tested, a battery array to be tested, and a back plate to be tested, and the standard components include: at least one of a standard cover plate, a standard adhesive film, a standard battery array and a standard back plate; wherein, each two adjacent stacks 1 are spliced by the splicing frame 2 to obtain a stack as a whole.
[0071] During the assembly process, standard components can be selected according to the components to be tested to assemble a complete stack 1. For example, the arrangement structure of the multi-layer components in the stack 1 is as follows: Figure 7As shown, from top to bottom are: cover plate 500, front adhesive film 400, battery array 300, rear adhesive film 200, back plate 100. When the component to be tested is a cover plate to be tested, the cover plate to be tested, the standard adhesive film, the standard battery array and the standard back plate are stacked and assembled to obtain a photovoltaic module to be tested. In addition, in order to ensure the sealing performance and insulation performance between the stack 1 and the splicing frame 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, a sealing layer is also provided between the stack 1 and the splicing frame 2, which can be specifically as follows: Figure 7 Specifically, the sealing layer can be obtained by injecting a sealing material into the gap between the stacking member 1 and the splicing frame 2 and drying it after the splicing frame 2 is installed on the outside of the stacking member 1. It can also be a pre-prepared film structure, in which a film-like sealing layer is first attached to the outside of the stacking member 1, and then the outermost splicing frame 2 is installed, so that under the action of the external force of the splicing frame 2, the film-like sealing layer is sandwiched between the splicing frame 2 and the stacking member 1, thereby achieving a sealing effect.
[0072] In an optional embodiment, adjacent stacked pieces 1 are actually spliced by splicing components 21 on the splicing frame 2, that is, the splicing frames 2 on each two adjacent stacked pieces 1 are spliced by at least one group of splicing components 21. For example, one or more groups of splicing components 21 can be set between two adjacent splicing frames 2 according to the firmness of the splicing. In an optional embodiment, in order to facilitate splicing, a splicing frame 2 with a splicing component 21 can be directly produced, and different styles of splicing frames 2 are generated for different setting positions and different setting numbers, so that in the actual application process, the installer can directly select the splicing frame 2 according to the needs of the splicing orientation.
[0073] In a further optional embodiment, if Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the splicing assembly 21 includes a slot 211 arranged on a splicing frame 2 and a socket 212 arranged on another splicing frame 2 and matching the slot 211; wherein the position of the slot 211 corresponds to the position of the first welding strip in the adjacent stack 1, and is used to place the first welding strip. From the above, it can be seen that the splicing assembly 21 in the present invention actually includes slots 211 and sockets 212 arranged on different splicing frames 2, so as to realize the connection between the two splicing frames 2 by plugging the slots 211 and the sockets 212, and then realize the connection between the two stacks 1. It can be understood that in order to connect multiple stacks 1 in series and then test them together, it is necessary to connect the welding strips between different stacks 1 in series as a whole, so as to realize the electrical connection between the multiple stacks 1 by using the welding strips. Therefore, the slot 211 in the embodiment of the present invention needs to correspond to the position of the first welding strip in the adjacent stack 1, so as to facilitate the insertion of the first welding strip in the adjacent stack 1 into the slot 211, and then through the plugging of the slot 211 and the socket 212, the Figure 8 The first welding strip of the left stack 1 is electrically connected to the welding strip in the right stack 1 .
[0074] The slots 211 and the sockets 212 are not necessarily arranged symmetrically on both sides of the splicing frame 2. Figure 5 For the stacked components 1 located in the middle of each row, it is necessary to use the slots 211 and the sockets 212 on the splicing frame 2 to realize the electrical connection between the multiple stacked components 1 in the horizontal row, so the slots 211 and the sockets 212 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the splicing frame 2. For the stacked components 1 located at the head and tail ends of each row, in an optional embodiment, the S-shaped electrical connection of multiple rows of stacked components 1 can also be realized by the slots 211 and the sockets 212 arranged above and below the splicing frame 2. Therefore, splicing frames 2 of various shapes can be produced according to the different setting positions of the slots 211 and the sockets 212, and in actual application, the series connection between multiple stacked components 1 can be realized according to the positions of the stacked components 1 that need to be electrically connected.
[0075] Regarding how to place the first solder strip in the slot 211, in a further optional embodiment, as Fig.12 As shown. A first welding strip through hole for placing the first welding strip is provided on one side of the slot 211 adjacent to the splicing frame 2; a conductive member 213 corresponding to the first welding strip through hole is provided on one side of the slot 211 adjacent to the socket 212; wherein the interior of the conductive member 213 is a hollow structure; after the first welding strip is placed in the first welding strip through hole of the slot 211, the first welding strip is located in the hollow structure of the conductive member 213, so that the first welding strip is electrically connected to the conductive member 213. It can be seen that by providing the first welding strip through hole and the conductive member 213 corresponding to the first welding strip through hole, the first welding strip in the stack 1 provided on one side of the slot 211 can be inserted into the hollow structure of the conductive member 213, so that the position of the first welding strip is fixed by the conductive member 213, and because the conductive member 213 has the conductive ability, it can be electrically connected to the first welding strip inside the conductive member 213, so that after being plugged into the socket 212, it can be electrically connected to the adjacent stack 1 (that is, another stack 1 adjacent to the socket 212). Exemplarily, the conductive member 213 may be a hollow cylinder or a hollow prism, and the hollow structure is circular, and its radius is slightly larger than the radius of the first welding strip, so as to avoid displacement of the first welding strip after the conductive member 213 is placed, thereby causing the problem of poor electrical connection. It is understandable that the above-mentioned setting only fixes the first welding strip on one side of the slot 211. In order to ensure the effective connection between the first welding strip of the stack 1 on one side of the slot 211 and the welding strip of the other stack 1 on the side of the socket 212, the welding strip on one side of the socket 212 also needs to be fixed to ensure that it can be electrically connected to the first welding strip. Therefore, in a further optional embodiment, such as Fig.12As shown, a second welding strip through hole 214 for placing the second welding strip in the stack 1 adjacent to the socket 212 is provided on the socket 212; wherein the second welding strip through hole 214 is provided through and corresponds to the position of the conductive member 213; after an adjacent slot 211 is spliced with a socket 212, the conductive member 213 on the slot 211 is inserted into the second welding strip through hole 214 on the socket 212, and is electrically connected to the second welding strip located in the second welding strip through hole 214. That is, for the second welding strip through hole 214 provided through, one end is used to insert the conductive member 213, and the other end is used to insert the second welding strip, so that the conductive member 213 located in the second welding strip through hole 21 is in contact with the second welding strip, thereby achieving electrical connection. It can be understood that in order to ensure the effectiveness of the connection, the apertures at both ends of the second welding tape through hole 214 can be different, that is, the aperture for inserting one end of the conductive member 213 corresponds to the cross-sectional diameter of the conductive member 213, and the aperture for inserting one end of the second welding tape corresponds to the cross-sectional area of the second welding tape, and the center line of the second welding tape can coincide with the axis of the second welding tape through hole 21, so that the second welding tape is located in the middle of the second welding tape through hole 21, so as to ensure that the second welding tape and the conductive member 213 are not misaligned and cannot be connected.
[0076] In order to further ensure the firmness of the plug-in connection between the slot 211 and the socket 212, in an optional embodiment, the slot 211 further includes a plurality of concave structures 215 located on one side of the conductive member 213 and a plurality of plug-in bodies 216 located on the side opposite to the concave structures; the socket 212 further includes a plurality of convex structures 217 matching the concave structures 215, and a plurality of plug-in slots 218 plugged with the plug-in bodies 216. That is, in the process of realizing the plug-in connection between the slot 211 and the socket 212, in addition to inserting the conductive member 213 into the second solder strip through hole 21, the plug-in connection between the convex structure 217 and the concave structure 215, and the plug-in body 216 and the plug-in slot 218 is also realized simultaneously, further ensuring the firmness of the plug-in connection.
[0077] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the photovoltaic assembly provided by the present invention further includes: a plurality of outer frames 3 arranged around the entire stack and an interlocking member 4 arranged at the connection between each two adjacent outer frames 3; wherein the two ends of the interlocking member 4 are respectively connected to the two adjacent outer frames 3 to fix the two adjacent outer frames 3 into one body. Figure 5 It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present invention, an interlocking member 4 is provided at the connection between each two outer frames 3. When the outer frames 3 are enclosed in a rectangle, the interlocking members 4 are provided at the four corners of the rectangle. By providing the interlocking members 4, the outer frames 3 and the multiple stacking members 1 can be fixed as a whole to ensure the stability of the connection between the multiple stacking members 1 during the test process.
[0078] In a further optional embodiment, if Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, one or more interlocking holes 31 are provided on the outer frame 3, and interlocking wings 41 matching the interlocking holes 31 are provided on the interlocking member 4; the interlocking wings 41 are engaged with the interlocking holes 31 to connect the two ends of each interlocking member 4 to the two adjacent outer frames 3. Fig. 9 The positional relationship between the interlocking hole 31 and the interlocking wing 41 is shown. Fig.10 The installation position between the interlocking member 4 and the outer frame 3 is shown. Fig. 9 It can be seen that the positions of the interlocking holes 31 and the interlocking wings 41 are arranged correspondingly, and through the engagement between the interlocking holes 31 and the interlocking wings 41 , the interlocking member 4 can be used to effectively fix the plurality of outer frames 3 into one.
[0079] Further, Fig.11 The three-dimensional structure diagram of the interlocking member 4 according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown. Fig.11 It can be seen that in an optional embodiment, the interlocking wing 41 on the interlocking part 4 can be a strip or columnar structure with a certain elasticity. When the interlocking wing 41 and the interlocking hole 31 are engaged, the interlocking wing 41 is deformed to a certain extent by an external force so as to pass from one side of the interlocking hole 31 to the other side, and after passing through the interlocking hole 31, the elastic deformation is restored, thereby realizing the interlocking part 4 being engaged on the outer frame 3 by utilizing the strip or columnar structure of the interlocking wing 41.
[0080] In summary, the photovoltaic module for testing provided by the embodiment of the present invention can prepare each independent standard component, and can select standard components that match the components to be tested according to the needs of the components to be tested for assembly to obtain different multiple stacked parts, thereby improving the flexibility of the photovoltaic module preparation process. Then, the assembly after splicing multiple stacked parts is used as the photovoltaic module for testing, and multiple different stacked parts can be tested simultaneously at one time, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the photovoltaic module. In addition, since each standard component is relatively independent and will not undergo deformation and chemical changes during the test process, it can still be reused after the test is completed, thereby improving the reuse rate of each component in the photovoltaic module for testing.

[0111] type <![CDATA[P MPP (In)]]> <![CDATA[I sc (A)]]> <![CDATA[U oc (V)]]> <![CDATA[I MPP (A)]]> <![CDATA[U MPP (V)]]> FF(%) <![CDATA[R s (Oh)]]> <![CDATA[R sh (Oh)]]> Example 3 541.5 13.80 49.15 13.14 41.21 79.84 0.14 2311 Example 4 541.3 13.82 49.00 13.10 41.16 79.76 0.14 2311 Comparative Example 1 535.1 13.86 48.89 13.04 41.05 79.00 0.16 2310
[0112] It can be seen from the above test results that the photovoltaic module for testing provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a slightly higher current than the photovoltaic module in the prior art. This may be due to the larger distance between battery cells in the battery array, which increases the reflected light. At the same time, the increase in the distance between battery cells causes the welding strip to be extended, resulting in a slightly higher series resistance and a slightly reduced voltage and fill factor. However, the test results of the overall photovoltaic module are within a reasonable range and meet the test requirements of the photovoltaic module.
