Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the cross - technical field of new energy and modern agriculture, and specifically relates to a design method for a transparent photovoltaic power - generating agricultural greenhouse. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of global energy transformation and agricultural modernization, the agro - photovoltaic complementary system, as a combination of renewable energy and modern agriculture, has received extensive attention in recent years. Traditional photovoltaic agricultural greenhouses mainly use crystalline silicon solar panels. Although they can achieve a certain degree of power - generation function, there are many technical limitations in practical applications.

[0003] Traditional photovoltaic modules generally adopt technical means such as colored semi - transparent photovoltaic materials or hollowed - out opaque photovoltaic materials. The visible light transmittance is low, seriously blocking the light energy required for crop photosynthesis, resulting in crop growth limitations and yield decline, and is not suitable for application in agricultural greenhouses.

[0004] Traditional photovoltaic modules mainly rely on the direct photon energy of sunlight for power generation. When light passes through the solar power - generation layer, part of the light energy is absorbed and attenuated. Since the photovoltaic material layer (including the power - generation layer and the light - absorption layer) needs to be completely or partially perpendicular to the incident light to effectively absorb light energy, this results in a corresponding reduction in the light flux transmitted by the module. Limited by this angle - dependent light - absorption characteristic, the utilization rate of sunlight by the system is low, which significantly affects the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the current technology, this project proposes a design and preparation method for a new type of transparent photovoltaic power - generating agricultural greenhouse. This method innovatively adopts a fully transparent photovoltaic module structure and breaks through the limitation of the light - absorption angle of traditional photovoltaic modules, thereby achieving efficient photovoltaic power generation on the premise of ensuring the normal growth of crops in the greenhouse and significantly improving the light - energy utilization rate of the photovoltaic agricultural greenhouse. At the same time, the project adopts an advanced greenhouse support - structure design, which further enhances the overall structural stability while maintaining the aesthetics of the agricultural greenhouse.

[0006] The specific design and preparation scheme adopted in this project is as follows:

[0007] (1) Use fully transparent photovoltaic power - generation components as the main building materials for the agricultural greenhouse.

[0008] (2) Adopt a modular greenhouse support structure for construction, and the fully transparent photovoltaic power - generation components are integrally arranged on the surface of the support structure in a detachable manner;

[0009] The fully transparent photovoltaic power - generation components include any one or several of fully transparent photovoltaic glass, fully transparent photovoltaic polycarbonate (PC) plates, and fully transparent photovoltaic fiber - reinforced plastic (FRP) plates.

[0010] The transparent photovoltaic power generation component adopts a multi-layer laminated structure design, and is at least composed of a first structural layer (such as glass or a plate), a second structural layer, and a photoluminescent material layer sandwiched between the two. The solar power generation layer is arranged at the edge of the component, and its receiving surface is parallel to the incident direction of sunlight. When sunlight shines, visible light and infrared rays can directly penetrate the component, while ultraviolet rays are scattered and redirected by the photoluminescent material layer, and then through the total reflection effect of the multi-layer laminated structure interface, the light wave is guided to the solar power generation layer at the edge position for photoelectric conversion.

[0011] Furthermore, the photoluminescent material layer can adopt two structural forms: one is composed of two single-layer photoluminescent compound material layers and a polymer film material layer in the middle layer; the other is a viscous photoluminescent material layer formed by mixing the photoluminescent material and the polymer film material.

[0012] Furthermore, the photovoltaic power generation component is composed of a single unit component layer or multiple stacked unit component layers. Each unit component layer includes a first structural layer, a second structural layer, and a photoluminescent material layer. The unit component layer firmly bonds the photoluminescent material layer and the structural layer into a whole through a vacuum hot pressing process.

[0013] This application also provides a manufacturing method of the above-mentioned fully transparent photovoltaic power generation component. The preparation method includes:

[0014] S1, preparing a photoluminescent material layer, which can be a single-layer compound, or a viscous photoluminescent composite layer formed by mixing the photoluminescent material and the polymer film material;

[0015] S2, bonding the photoluminescent material layer and the structural layer (such as glass or a plate) into a unit component, and then stacking multiple unit components on both sides in the vertical direction of their surfaces to form the core main body part of the photovoltaic power generation component;

[0016] S3, covering the edge of the main body part with a packaging material, and attaching a solar power generation layer to the outer surface of the packaging layer. The solar power generation layer is connected to an external circuit.

[0017] Furthermore, the photoluminescent material layer and the structural layer are bonded through a vacuum hot pressing process to form a complete unit component.

[0018] Furthermore, the unit component layer is composed of a first structural layer, a second structural layer, and a photoluminescent material layer.

[0019] Furthermore, the solar power generation layer is arranged in an orthogonal direction to the photovoltaic power generation component.

[0020] Furthermore, the photovoltaic power generation component is composed of a single layer or multiple layers of unit components.

[0021] The present application also provides a technical solution for the application of a photoluminescent substance. The photoluminescent substance is applied in a solar light steering waveguide laminated photovoltaic power generation module. The photoluminescent substance is one or a combination of a metal halide luminescent material, a rare earth luminescent material, an organic luminescent material, a metal complex luminescent material, an organic-inorganic hybrid luminescent material, and an inorganic quantum dot luminescent material. The above substances absorb ultraviolet light with a wavelength of about 100 nm to 350 nm and emit visible light with a wavelength of about 400 nm to 780 nm.

[0022] Further, the photoluminescent substance combines with a structural layer to form a multi-layer structure; the photoluminescent substance is distributed at the interface between the structural layer and the polymer adhesive film layer through a coating or printing process, or is directly dispersed inside the polymer adhesive film layer.

[0023] Based on the manufacturing method of the above-mentioned fully transparent photovoltaic power generation module, the present fully transparent photovoltaic power generation module has the following technical characteristics compared with the existing traditional photovoltaic modules:

[0024] The fully transparent photovoltaic power generation module of the present application can efficiently absorb sunlight from any direction, breaking through the limitation of the incident angle of traditional photovoltaic modules and significantly improving the light energy conversion efficiency. At the same time, the module allows visible light and infrared light in sunlight to be completely transmitted, ensuring that the crops in the agricultural greenhouse obtain sufficient light conditions and heat to meet their normal growth and development needs.

[0025] The greenhouse support structure includes any one or several of a top ridge support frame, a roof support frame, a wall support frame, and a gutter height horizontal support frame.

[0026] Using the above greenhouse support structure, a transparent photovoltaic power generation agricultural greenhouse with four surrounding walls and a closed top in the shape of an approximate cube is built.

[0027] Further, an automatic irrigation system and other systems are equipped in the transparent photovoltaic agricultural greenhouse. The fully transparent photovoltaic power generation module can directly supply power to these systems through photovoltaics or connect this electricity to the national power grid.

[0028] Based on the design and preparation method of the above-mentioned transparent photovoltaic power generation agricultural greenhouse, the present invention has the following technical advantages:

[0029] First, the agricultural greenhouse is built with fully transparent photovoltaic power generation components, which have the function of transmitting visible light and infrared rays and can adapt to the normal growth of crops in the greenhouse. Secondly, the fully transparent photovoltaic power generation components used in the agricultural greenhouse break through the limitations of the light absorption angle of traditional power generation components, and achieve efficient photovoltaic power generation on the premise of ensuring the normal photosynthesis of crops in the greenhouse, with a higher theoretical photovoltaic conversion efficiency of solar cells. Finally, the agricultural greenhouse uses an advanced support structure, which not only has an aesthetic appearance but also has excellent structural stability. Moreover, the fully transparent photovoltaic power generation components can directly supply power to systems such as automatic irrigation through photovoltaics or connect this electricity to the national power grid to achieve the effect of energy conservation and emission reduction.
