Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar crystalline silicon cells, in particular to a preparation process of a front laminated passivation film for a crystalline silicon cell. Background Art
[0002] Reducing production costs and improving photoelectric conversion efficiency are the eternal goals of solar cell production.
[0003] In order to reduce the loss of battery efficiency, a variety of new crystalline silicon battery structures have been developed. For example, OPCON batteries use silicon oxide films with tunneling effects and doped polysilicon films to passivate the back surface of n-type silicon batteries and the metal electrode contact area, significantly improving the open circuit voltage of the battery; compared with PERC batteries and HJT batteries, TOPCON batteries have a higher theoretical efficiency limit - 28.7% (the theoretical efficiency of converting electricity during battery charging and discharging), and its industrial efficiency is around 24% (the efficiency of charging and discharging batteries after actual production), which shows that there is still room for improvement; in addition, the manufacturing cost of TOPCON batteries is also rapidly declining, so the competitive advantage of batteries with this concept is becoming more and more obvious.
[0004] Currently, some companies on the market, such as Yingli, use TOPCON battery technology: conducting research on industrial process solutions, preparing high-quality back-surface tunneling passivation contact layers, and developing emitter stacked composite passivation layer technology and low-surface composite doping technology, which further improves the efficiency of TOPCON type batteries.
[0005] It should be noted that there are many factors that affect the conversion efficiency of solar cells, and the recombination loss in electrical loss is one of them. One of the main factors that affect the efficiency of existing N-type TOPCON cell technology is the recombination loss in electrical loss. The current means to solve this problem is to reduce the recombination loss of the cell through the passivation effect of silicon nitride film; however, the problem that still exists is that the passivation effect of silicon nitride is not able to completely and effectively reduce the recombination loss of the cell, and there is still some recombination loss that reduces the efficiency of the cell.
[0006] Therefore, our company takes reducing electrical composite loss as the research direction, and uses the structure of the laminated passivation film to explore the principle and process of improving the efficiency of N-type TOPCON cells. At present, a method for making a front laminated passivation film has been developed and is now protected. Summary of the invention
