Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular relates to a photovoltaic cell and a photovoltaic module. Background Art

[0002] In order to avoid abrasion and scratching of photovoltaic cells during production and transportation, battery isolation paper is usually used to protect photovoltaic cells. However, conventional battery isolation paper is expensive and has no gain effect on photovoltaic modules. Therefore, in order to avoid scratching of the cells, the surface of the cells needs to be protected.

[0003] In current technology, in order to prevent the blue film of the battery cell from being scratched, the following options are available: 1. Place an isolation pad between two battery cells to separate the two adjacent battery cells through the isolation paper, thereby preventing the blue film of the battery cell from being scratched. 2. Print a number of glue dots on the surface of the blue film of the battery cell to protect the blue film of the battery cell through the glue dots. 3. Set a number of isolation parts with air bags on the surface of the battery cell to protect the blue film of the battery cell.

[0004] For the first solution mentioned above, during the continuous operation of the battery cell, the isolation paper will have creases or the isolation paper will cause certain scratches to the blue film during the handling process, resulting in increased costs, and it is impossible to effectively solve the scratch problem caused by the blue film during the continuous operation. The scratched blue film will reduce the absorption rate of the light source, and during the feeding process, the contact area between the isolation paper and the battery cell is large, and the isolation paper will be with the battery cell or the battery cell will be with the isolation paper, which will seriously affect the beat of the equipment. For the second solution mentioned above, bubbles are easily generated in the printed glue dots. In the third solution, the airbag dots will cause partial shading. Although it can effectively solve the scratch problem caused by the blue film during the continuous operation, it will reduce the absorption rate of the light source and affect the power generation effect of the photovoltaic module.

[0064] Battery Cell

[0065] Therefore, the present invention provides a photovoltaic cell, including a cell body and a plurality of tape protrusions arranged on the light-receiving surface of the cell body; the tape contains a substrate and an adhesive; the raw materials of the adhesive contain epoxy acrylic resin, a silane coupling agent, a stabilizer, and an inorganic filler and a solvent.

[0067] In some embodiments, the cell body is a back-contact crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell. The PN junction and metal contact of the cell are both located on the back of the cell, while the front side uses a SiNx / SiOx double-layer anti-reflection passivation film, and there is no grid line on the front side. Therefore, the front side of the cell is more easily scratched during transportation and production, and it is necessary to focus on protecting the front side of the cell from scratches.

[0068] In some embodiments, the thickness of the adhesive tape is 30 μm-55 μm, for example 36-45 μm or 47-55 μm, and the light transmittance is above 90%.

[0069] In some embodiments, the height of the tape attached to the surface of the battery cell is 30 μm-110 μm.

[0070] In some embodiments, the width of the tape is 5-15 mm, which can be adjusted appropriately according to actual usage.

[0071] In some embodiments, the number of tapes in the main grid direction of the battery cell body is 0-20 or 3-10, such as 3-5; the number perpendicular to the main grid direction is 0-20 or 3-10, such as 3-5. Appropriate adjustments are made according to different battery cell sizes to better achieve the protection effect. In some embodiments, the tapes are arranged in a grid array or a strip array on the light-receiving surface of the battery cell body, with 3-5 and / or 3-10 tapes perpendicular to the main grid and parallel to the main grid.

[0072] In some embodiments, the length of the tape covers at least one grid line, and at most covers all grid lines in the horizontal or vertical direction of the battery cell body. The specific length of the tape can be appropriately adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0073] In some embodiments, the tape needs to withstand a high temperature of at least 300° C. to ensure that the battery does not deform or warp after entering the basket dryer after the insulating adhesive is printed.

[0074] The present invention also provides a photovoltaic module, which comprises glass-adhesive film-cell protected by a tape grid-adhesive film-glass, or glass-adhesive film-cell protected by a tape grid-adhesive film-back plate arranged in sequence.

[0075] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the encapsulated photovoltaic module includes a front glass 3, an upper adhesive film 4, a battery cell 5 with a tape grid array on the surface, a lower adhesive film 6 and a back glass 7 stacked in sequence. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a battery cell body 2 and an adhesive tape 1 arranged in a grid on the battery cell body.

[0076] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a photovoltaic module, which includes: placing the cells with adhesive tape in a stacked manner, then printing adhesive film on the cells, and then encapsulating and laminating according to glass-adhesive film-cell with adhesive tape grid protection-adhesive film-glass, or glass-adhesive film-cell with adhesive tape grid protection-adhesive film-backplane. In some specific embodiments, the method includes: placing the cells with adhesive tape in a stacked manner, controlling a feeding machine manipulator to grab the cells to an insulating adhesive printer, printing insulating adhesive on the cells by the printer, and drying the cells with printed insulating adhesive by a basket dryer or an oven.

[0077] In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module is a back-contact crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell (BC cell). The preparation method of the BC cell is as follows: a film is covered on the top of the tape, and after lamination, the tape is embedded in the film. Light is emitted into the cell through the film-tape. Since the refractive index of the tape layer is between the refractive index of the cell surface and the refractive index of the film, a refractive index gradient can be formed to form a light trapping structure, which can effectively improve the conversion efficiency of the cell. The material of the film layer covering the top of the tape is a photovoltaic film such as EVA or POE, and the light transmittance of the film is not less than 90%; the refractive index of the film layer is greater than the refractive index of the tape.

The battery cells printed with the insulating glue are tested, and those with no abnormal printing effect are transported to the conductive glue printer by a conveyor belt, and the battery cells printed with the conductive glue are tested, and those with no abnormal printing are transported to the stringing machine by a conveyor belt; the welded battery cells are sorted, and the qualified battery cells are arranged and packaged and laminated according to glass-film-battery cells protected by a tape grid-film-glass.

[0116] Relevant performance test data and its test methods and conditions:

[0117] The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module corresponding to the embodiment was tested according to IEC61215; the measured photoelectric conversion efficiency is shown in Table 3 below.
