[0060] The silicon wafers for solar cells prepared in the above embodiments and comparative examples were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0061] Table 1 (Data on the effect of reducing the silicon wafer fragmentation rate and the effect of reducing the silicon wafer reflectivity of Examples 1-11 are obtained by taking Comparative Example 1 as a reference)
[0062] The data in the above table show that, taking Example 1 as an example, the silicon wafer fragmentation rate in Example 1 is reduced by 0.55% compared with that in Comparative Example 1; the silicon wafer reflectivity in Example 1 is reduced by 0.21% compared with that in Comparative Example 1. Referring to the detection data of the above Examples 1-11, it can be seen that in the technical solution of the present application, the silicon wafer is subjected to the first and second texturing in sequence, and the process parameters of the first and second texturing are controlled, which can improve the interaction between the texturing liquid and the silicon wafer, improve the uniformity of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure, and modify the pyramid-shaped velvet structure to make the lines of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure more rounded, forming a pyramid-shaped velvet structure with a curved surface structure on the side. When the silicon wafer is bent, the curved pyramid-shaped velvet structure is not easy to break, which plays a role in reducing the silicon wafer fragmentation rate, thereby improving the long-term stability and reliability of the solar cell. It can also further reduce light loss, thereby improving the light absorption effect.
[0063] Referring to the test data of the above-mentioned Examples 1-3 and Examples 4-5, it can be known that optimizing the concentration of the texturing additive in the texturing liquid can improve the interaction between the texturing liquid and the silicon wafer, so that a higher reaction rate difference is formed between the top and bottom of the tower, which is helpful to modify the pyramid-shaped velvet structure, making the lines of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure more rounded, forming a pyramid-shaped velvet structure with a curved surface structure on the side, and when the silicon wafer is bent, the curved pyramid-shaped velvet structure is not easy to break, which further reduces the fragmentation rate of the silicon wafer, thereby further improving the long-term stability and reliability of the solar cell. It can also further reduce light loss, thereby improving the light absorption effect.
[0064] Referring to the test data of the above-mentioned embodiment 3, embodiment 6-7, it can be known that optimizing the concentration of alkali in the texturing liquid can improve the interaction between the texturing liquid and the silicon wafer, so that a higher reaction rate difference is formed between the top and bottom of the tower, which is helpful to modify the pyramid-shaped velvet structure, making the lines of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure more rounded, forming a pyramid-shaped velvet structure with a curved surface structure on the side, and when the silicon wafer is bent, the curved pyramid-shaped velvet structure is not easy to break, which plays a role in further reducing the fragmentation rate of the silicon wafer, thereby further improving the long-term stability and reliability of the solar cell. It can also further reduce light loss, thereby improving the light absorption effect. .
[0065] Referring to the test data of the above-mentioned embodiment 3, embodiment 8-9, it can be known that optimizing the temperature of texturing can improve the interaction between the texturing liquid and the silicon wafer, so that a higher reaction rate difference is formed between the top and bottom of the tower, which is helpful to modify the pyramid-shaped velvet structure, making the lines of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure more rounded, forming a pyramid-shaped velvet structure with a curved surface structure on the side, and when the silicon wafer is bent, the curved pyramid-shaped velvet structure is not easy to break, which plays a role in further reducing the fragmentation rate of the silicon wafer, thereby further improving the long-term stability and reliability of the solar cell. It can also further reduce light loss, thereby improving the light absorption effect.
[0066] Referring to the test data of the above-mentioned embodiment 3 and embodiments 10-11, it can be known that optimizing the content of isopropyl alcohol and additives in the velvet additive can improve the interaction between the velvet liquid and the silicon wafer, so that a higher reaction rate difference is formed between the top and bottom of the tower, which is helpful to modify the pyramid-shaped velvet structure, making the lines of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure more rounded, forming a pyramid-shaped velvet structure with a curved surface structure on the side, and when the silicon wafer is bent, the curved pyramid-shaped velvet structure is not easy to break, which plays a role in further reducing the fragmentation rate of the silicon wafer, thereby further improving the long-term stability and reliability of the solar cell. It can also further reduce light loss, thereby improving the light absorption effect.
[0067] In summary, in the technical solution of the present application, the silicon wafer is subjected to the first and second texturing processes in sequence, and the process parameters of the first and second texturing processes are controlled, which can improve the interaction between the texturing liquid and the silicon wafer, improve the uniformity of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure, and modify the pyramid-shaped velvet structure to make the lines of the pyramid-shaped velvet structure more rounded, forming a pyramid-shaped velvet structure with a curved surface structure on the side. When the silicon wafer is bent, the curved pyramid-shaped velvet structure is not easy to break, which plays a role in reducing the fragmentation rate of the silicon wafer, thereby improving the long-term stability and reliability of the solar cell. It can also further reduce light loss, thereby improving the light absorption effect.
[0068] In addition, when the silicon wafer is textured according to the method in comparative example 1, in order to ensure the quality of the silicon wafer, the drying must be carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere, which will increase the drying cost of the silicon wafer; when the silicon wafer is textured according to the method in the embodiment of the present application, the final drying step can be carried out in an air atmosphere, which is relatively cheaper. It can be seen that referring to the texture making process of the present application is beneficial to the subsequent drying step.
[0069] The present application can provide a silicon wafer for solar cells, which is prepared by the above method. The silicon wafer for solar cells also has the advantages possessed by the silicon wafer for solar cells prepared by the above method.

The above-mentioned advantages of the silicon wafer for solar cells are also possessed by the silicon wafer for solar cells. The photoelectric device includes a crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0071] The present application may provide a photovoltaic system, including the above-mentioned optoelectronic device (such as a crystalline silicon solar cell). The advantages of the above-mentioned solar cell are also possessed by the photovoltaic system, which will not be repeated here. The above-mentioned photovoltaic system has a wide range of applications, not only limited to photovoltaic power stations, such as ground power stations, rooftop power stations and water power stations, but also includes various equipment and devices that use solar energy to generate electricity, such as user solar power supplies, solar street lights, solar cars and solar buildings. Of course, it can be understood that the application scenarios of the photovoltaic system are not limited to this, that is, the photovoltaic system can be used in all fields where solar energy is required for power generation. Taking the photovoltaic power generation system network as an example, the photovoltaic system may include a photovoltaic array, a junction box and an inverter. The photovoltaic array may be an array combination of multiple photovoltaic components. For example, multiple photovoltaic components may form multiple photovoltaic arrays. The photovoltaic array is connected to the junction box. The junction box can converge the current generated by the photovoltaic array. The converged current flows through the inverter and is converted into the alternating current required by the mains power grid, and then connected to the mains network to realize solar power supply.
