Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of arc-shaped photovoltaic panel preparation, and more specifically, to a preparation process of an arc-shaped photovoltaic panel. Background Art
[0002] At present, with the continuous growth of global demand for clean energy, solar energy, as a renewable and pollution-free energy form, has an increasingly wide range of applications. Curved photovoltaic panels have unique advantages in building integration, circular facilities such as lighthouses, signal towers and some special energy collection devices because they can better fit curved structures. They have become one of the research hotspots in the field of solar photovoltaic technology.
[0003] However, the current preparation process of curved photovoltaic panels faces many challenges, such as: In terms of mold preparation, traditional molds are often difficult to accurately achieve complex arc molding, and the performance of mold materials is limited. It is difficult to meet the requirements of high temperature resistance, high strength and demoulding performance at the same time. There is a lack of effective temperature control methods, which affects the molding quality and production efficiency of photovoltaic panels. In addition, the backward mold surface treatment technology easily leads to adhesion of photovoltaic materials and increases the defective rate. In terms of photovoltaic materials, the types of existing flexible photovoltaic materials are limited, the photoelectric conversion efficiency needs to be improved, and there is a lack of effective means to further optimize its performance during the material preparation process. The pretreatment process of the material is not perfect, which affects the combination effect of the material and the subsequent process. In terms of molding technology, traditional molding methods make it difficult to ensure uniform filling and tight fitting of photovoltaic materials in arc-shaped molds, resulting in uneven internal structure of the product and unstable photoelectric conversion efficiency. The lack of effective auxiliary molding technology makes it impossible to regulate the microstructure of the material, limiting the improvement of product performance. The packaging process has deficiencies. The traditional packaging structure is simple and cannot effectively solve the heat dissipation problem, which easily causes the operating temperature of the photovoltaic panel to be too high, affecting its service life and power generation efficiency. The environmental control and bonding technology during the packaging process are not sophisticated enough, resulting in defects such as bubbles and delamination between the packaging layers, reducing product reliability. Rough edge treatment not only affects the appearance of the product, but also causes edge stress concentration, reduces the mechanical strength and safety of the product. The connection method is single and inflexible, which makes it difficult to meet the splicing and connection requirements of curved photovoltaic panels in different application scenarios, limiting its large-scale promotion and application.

[0022] Experimental test: The above-mentioned embodiments 1-3 are taken as examples, the curved photovoltaic panel prepared by the conventional process is taken as comparative example 1, and the photovoltaic panel prepared by the common mold and the partially improved process is taken as comparative example 2, and the performance tests are respectively carried out on them, and the test steps are as follows: Photoelectric conversion efficiency test: Use a solar simulator to simulate standard sunlight conditions (irradiance of 1000W / m², AM1.5 spectrum), place the curved photovoltaic panel sample on the test platform, adjust the photovoltaic panel angle to make it perpendicular to the incident light to ensure uniform illumination, connect the photovoltaic panel to the power analyzer, measure the output power of the photovoltaic panel under stable illumination, record the data, and calculate the photoelectric conversion efficiency according to the formula: Photoelectric conversion efficiency = (output power / incident light power) × 100%. Test each sample 3 times and take the average value; Flexibility test, using a bending test device that can accurately control the bending radius and angle, fix the curved photovoltaic panel sample on the test device, gradually reduce the bending radius from the initial state, keep it for a certain time (such as 5 minutes) after each bending, and observe whether there are cracks, delamination or other damage on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. Record the minimum bending radius that the photovoltaic panel can withstand, as well as the changes in appearance at different bending radii, to evaluate flexibility; Heat dissipation performance test: When the curved photovoltaic panel is in working state, use an infrared thermal imager to monitor its surface temperature in real time. After a period of stable operation (such as 1 hour), record the maximum and average temperatures on the surface of the photovoltaic panel. At the same time, install temperature sensors at key locations inside the photovoltaic panel (such as near the battery cells) to measure the internal temperature, compare and analyze it with the surface temperature data, and evaluate the heat dissipation performance. For the weather resistance test, accelerated aging test equipment is used to simulate the harsh environmental conditions of high temperature, high humidity and ultraviolet radiation. The curved photovoltaic panel samples are placed in the test equipment and aged according to the predetermined cycle period (such as high temperature 85℃ / high humidity 85%RH / ultraviolet radiation 8h, low temperature -40℃ / 4g as one cycle). The samples are taken out at regular intervals (such as 500h) for photoelectric conversion efficiency test, and the changes in the appearance of the samples (such as color fading, surface corrosion, cracking of the packaging layer, etc.) are observed. The data is recorded and the weather resistance is evaluated.
[0023] According to the above test steps, the test data of each embodiment 1-3 and comparative example 1-2 are shown in the following table: It is worth noting that, in Comparative Example 1, the existing conventional arc-shaped photovoltaic panel preparation process is adopted, the mold is an ordinary steel mold, without special curvature adjustment and surface treatment; the photovoltaic material is traditional amorphous silicon, no special nano-additives are added and the pretreatment is simple; the molding process is conventional hot pressing molding, without magnetic field assistance; the packaging adopts an ordinary single-layer packaging structure, without special thermal conductive insulating material filling; the edge treatment is rough, and the connection method is simple welding.
[0024] In Comparative Example 2, in terms of mold preparation, an ordinary aluminum alloy mold is used, which has a certain curvature but cannot be adjusted, and the mold surface is not processed with micro-nano structure; copper indium gallium selenide is selected as the photovoltaic material, but it is not fully pretreated; step-by-step heating and pressurization are used in the molding process but without magnetic field assistance; the packaging structure is a double-layer structure, but the performance of the thermal conductive insulation material is average; the edge treatment is average, and the flexibility of the connecting components is poor.
[0025] From the data in the above table, we can know that: In terms of photoelectric conversion efficiency, the embodiments of the present invention optimize the crystal structure and electrical properties of the materials by selecting new and efficient flexible photovoltaic materials (such as amorphous silicon, copper indium gallium selenide and organic photovoltaic materials in the embodiments), adding nano additives and introducing magnetic field assist technology during the molding process, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is significantly improved. In contrast, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is relatively low due to the limitations of materials and processes; In terms of flexibility, the present invention focuses on the precise adjustment of the curvature in mold design, and adopts flexible photovoltaic materials in material selection, and considers flexibility in packaging and connecting components, so that the curved photovoltaic panel can maintain good performance without damage at a small bending radius. The conventional process of comparative example 1 performs poorly in terms of flexibility and is prone to cracks. Although comparative example 2 is partially improved, it is still not as good as the embodiment of the present invention. In terms of heat dissipation performance, the present invention fills special thermally conductive insulating materials (such as boron nitride, alumina ceramic powder and polyimide-based thermally conductive insulating composite materials) between the packaging layers, and combines the vacuum hot pressing process to effectively improve the heat dissipation performance and reduce the working temperature of the photovoltaic panel. Comparative Examples 1 and 2 have poor heat dissipation effects due to the packaging structure and materials, resulting in high surface temperatures, which affect the long-term stability and efficiency of the photovoltaic panel. In terms of weather resistance, the present invention improves the weather resistance of the curved photovoltaic panel through special treatment of the mold surface (super-hydrophobic and self-cleaning coating), optimal selection of materials, and improvement of packaging structure and process. It can still maintain a high photoelectric conversion efficiency after a long-term aging test. Comparative Examples 1 and 2 perform poorly in terms of weather resistance. The photoelectric conversion efficiency decreases significantly after aging, and the appearance shows more damage.
[0026] In summary, through comparative tests with the comparative examples, the present invention has significant outstanding progress in the preparation process of curved photovoltaic panels, and can prepare curved photovoltaic panels with better performance and better adaptability to various application scenarios.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
