Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a solar cell wafer and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous update and iteration of photovoltaic cell technology, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of PERC solar cells (passivated emitter and rear cell) is getting higher and higher. According to the photoelectric efficiency calculation formula: photoelectric conversion efficiency = open circuit voltage * current * fill factor / area / light intensity, it can be seen that the photoelectric efficiency is positively correlated with the current. Therefore, the higher the photoelectric conversion efficiency, the higher the current. At present, the circuits in some solar energy application areas are severely aged and the short-circuit current is low. Therefore, when applying PERC solar cells with high current and high conversion rate to these areas, safety problems such as short circuit and fire are likely to occur. Therefore, for safety reasons, low-current PERC solar cells are often used in these areas.

[0003] The battery efficiency of low-current PERC solar cells is low. Therefore, in order to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of low-current PERC solar cells, related technical solutions have also been disclosed in the prior art. For example, a method for manufacturing a solar cell module disclosed in CN102185007A determines the photoelectric conversion efficiency range and current threshold that a solar cell can withstand by detecting the components of the battery, and assembles appropriate solar components according to the detection results to ensure that the solar cell selects a suitable photoelectric conversion efficiency solar cell within the optimal short-circuit current range, and improves the utilization rate of the photoelectric conversion efficiency battery on the premise of ensuring safety. Another example is a high-power and low-hot-spot photovoltaic module disclosed in CN209071342U. This technical solution increases the light intensity of the battery through a high-transmittance film and a high-reflection material, and then combines multiple low-current segments to significantly reduce the current and significantly increase the light intensity, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery remains basically unchanged, ensuring that the battery has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency while having a low current.

[0004] In the above prior art, mainly low-current PERC solar cell wafers are used and the high photoelectric conversion efficiency of low-current PERC solar cells is improved by adjusting other battery components. However, since low-current PERC solar cells are used, the upper limit of their photoelectric conversion efficiency is low. Therefore, in some areas with low short-circuit current, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is still at a low level. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the problem that the upper limit of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of low-current PERC solar cells is low while ensuring the battery safety in the prior art, the present invention provides a solar cell and a preparation method thereof.

[0009] Preferably, the width of the conductive grid lines is 10-100 μm, and the height is 5-25 μm.

[0010] The present invention provides a solar cell, which has the characteristics of small current and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. When the solar cell is applied in a low short-circuit current region, it has high safety and high battery power, and significantly improves the power of the solar cell while improving the safety.

[0011] A preparation method of the above-mentioned solar cell comprises the following steps: performing an alkaline wet etching texturing treatment on the silicon wafer to make a pyramidal-textured silicon wafer, then performing a high-temperature diffusion treatment on the pyramidal-textured silicon wafer to make a phosphorus-doped silicon wafer, then performing a chemical vapor deposition treatment on the phosphorus-doped silicon wafer to make an antireflection film silicon wafer, and then performing a screen printing treatment on the antireflection film silicon wafer to make a solar cell.

[0012] Preferably, the conditions of the alkaline wet etching texturing treatment include: the thinning amount is 0.2-0.9 mg / pcs.

[0013] Preferably, the conditions of the high-temperature diffusion treatment include a first deposition, a second deposition and a third deposition.

[0014] Preferably, the conditions of the first deposition are: the time is 100-500 s, and the nitrogen phosphorus source flow rate is 1000-3000 sccm.

[0020] Preferably, the conditions for the middle film deposition include: time 100 - 500 s, NH3 flow rate 5000 - 10000 sccm.

[0021] Preferably, the conditions for the outer film deposition include: time 100 - 200 s, NH3 flow rate 5000 - 10000 sccm.

[0022] Preferably, the conditions for the chemical deposition treatment further include: pressure 100 - 500 mbar, temperature 400 - 600 °C, SiH4 flow rate 500 - 2000 sccm, power 10000 - 20000 W, effective pulse width 0 - 10, ineffective pulse width 0 - 200.

[0024] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned solar cell. Firstly, the main method for reducing the current of the solar cell is to reduce the amount of light entering the silicon. When the number of photons entering the silicon decreases, the carriers in the silicon wafer will decrease, thereby reducing the current of the silicon wafer. The methods for reducing the light entering the silicon wafer include reducing the intensity of light in the external environment, such as setting a glass encapsulation film with low light transmittance on the cell. However, using this method will significantly reduce the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell, resulting in a very low upper limit of the solar cell. In addition, the current of the battery can also be reduced by increasing the reflectivity of the silicon wafer. After further research on the process of increasing the reflectivity of the silicon wafer, the present invention finds that by changing the chemical deposition method, it is possible to achieve the effect of significantly reducing the current of the silicon wafer without significantly increasing the reflectivity of the silicon wafer. The chemical deposition process of the present invention adopts the methods of bottom film deposition, middle film deposition and outer film deposition. The bottom film deposition is the same as the existing process. By changing the ammonia flow rate and deposition time of the middle film deposition and outer film deposition, the thickness of the middle film and outer film can be changed, so as to achieve the technical effect of significantly reducing the current of the silicon wafer without significantly reducing the reflectivity of the silicon wafer.

[0025] In addition, in order to ensure that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is not significantly changed, the present invention also optimizes the high-temperature diffusion process and the wire electroprinting process, and improves the open-circuit voltage and fill factor of the solar cell by optimizing the high-temperature diffusion process and the wire electroprinting process.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following technical effects: (1) The present invention provides a solar cell, which has the characteristics of small current and high photoelectric conversion efficiency. When the cell is applied in a low short-circuit current region, it has high safety and high cell power, significantly improving the power of the solar cell while improving safety; (2) The present invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned solar cell. By changing the ammonia flow rate and deposition time of the middle film deposition and outer film deposition, the thickness of the middle film and outer film can be changed, so as to achieve the technical effect of significantly reducing the current of the silicon wafer without significantly reducing the reflectivity of the silicon wafer. By optimizing the high-temperature diffusion process and the wire electroprinting process, the open-circuit voltage and fill factor of the solar cell are improved, and the current is significantly reduced while the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell has no significant change.

[0038] Comparative Example 6: Compared with Example 1, in Comparative Example 6, the conditions for high-temperature diffusion are changed, increasing the sheet resistance of the silicon wafer, and the remaining conditions are the same as those in Example 1.

[0039] Detection Example: The photoelectric conversion efficiency and current of the solar cell wafers prepared in Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to are tested: Test method: Assemble 10 solar cells into a solar battery. Use a xenon lamp to simulate sunlight and irradiate for 30 ms. Measure the current, power generation, and calculate the photoelectric conversion efficiency. The photoelectric conversion efficiency = electric power / (illumination area * illumination intensity). The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0040] Table 1 Test Results Current (A) Fill factor (%) Power generation (W) Photoelectric conversion efficiency (%) Example 1 9.42 78.12 301.46 22.41 Example 2 9.50 77.82 298.43 21.36 Example 3 9.49 77.61 299.69 21.47 Example 4 9.52 78.12 300.74 22.21 Example 5 9.49 77.70 298.65 22.35 Comparative example 1 9.85 78.66 314.65 22.50 Comparative example 2 9.69 78.12 304.95 21.58 Comparative example 3 9.72 78.12 305.21 21.63 Comparative example 4 9.78 78.12 308.94 21.89 Comparative example 5 9.42 77.61 300.54 21.93 As shown in Table 1, the current of the solar cells prepared in Examples 1 to 5 can reach 9.42 - 9.52 A, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is 21.36 - 22.41%. Compared with high-current solar cells (Comparative Example 1), the photoelectric conversion efficiency has not decreased significantly, but the current value has decreased significantly, which can be reduced by 430 - 330 mA. The above results show that the solar cells provided by the present invention can significantly reduce the current of the cells while ensuring the conversion efficiency.

[0041] In Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4, the deposition conditions of the middle film and the outer film were adjusted respectively. It was found that the current of the adjusted solar cells could not be significantly reduced. The above results show that the deposition conditions will change the thickness of the middle film and the outer film, and the middle film and the outer film with different film thicknesses will produce a special refraction effect on light, so as to achieve the technical effect of not significantly changing the reflectivity but significantly reducing the current.

[0042] In Comparative Example 5, the height of the grid line was reduced. It was found that reducing the grid line would lead to a decrease in filling and a decrease in the final photoelectric conversion efficiency. The above results show that it is necessary to increase the filling factor by adjusting the grid line height so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency can not change significantly.

[0043] In Comparative Example 6, the high-temperature diffusion conditions were changed, and the sheet resistance of the silicon wafer was increased. It was found that the photoelectric conversion efficiency also decreased significantly after the sheet resistance increased. The above results show that it is necessary to adjust the high-temperature diffusion conditions to reduce the sheet resistance of the silicon wafer so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency can not change significantly.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modifications, changes, and equivalent transformations made to the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention still belong to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
