[0026] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] As Figure 1 、Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figure 3 , the photovoltaic glass of the embodiment of the present invention includes a top plate 1 and a substrate 2. The top plate 1 and the substrate 2 are arranged in parallel. A first film layer 3 is provided on the side of the top plate 1 away from the substrate 2. The first film layer 3 is an antireflection film layer. A groove 21 is provided on the side of the substrate 2 close to the top plate 1. A plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 22 are arranged in an array on the bottom surface of the groove 21. The protrusions 22 are used to focus the light reaching the protrusions 22 in the groove 21. The top plate 1 and the substrate 2 limit a sealed cavity 23 at the position of the groove 21.

[0028] The photovoltaic glass of the embodiment of the present invention is divided into a top plate 1 and a substrate 2 by layers. Before the light irradiates on the top plate 1, it first passes through the antireflection film layer, reducing the refraction of the light on the surface of the photovoltaic glass, increasing the absorption of light, and at the same time, the antireflection film layer can protect the glass surface, reducing the accumulation of dust, and at the same time increasing the light transmission effect of the top plate 1. The light passing through the top plate 1 reaches the sealed cavity 23. The light undergoes diffuse reflection in the groove 21. At the same time, the protrusions 22 in the groove 21 divide the substrate 2 into a plurality of convex lenses. The light reaches the position of the protrusions 22 and converges on the side of the substrate 2 away from the top plate 1 after passing through the protrusions 22, ensuring the absorption and conversion of light by the cell board located below the photovoltaic glass.

[0029] The photovoltaic glass of the embodiment of the present invention can improve the utilization efficiency of light, improve the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic panel, save floor space, make full use of solar energy and convert it into electric energy, and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency on the premise of ensuring the light transmission effect of the light.

[0030] It should be noted that the antireflection film layer of the photovoltaic glass, that is, the antireflection coating, is to coat an antireflection film on the surface of the photovoltaic glass substrate through a roll coating process. The antireflection film is mainly a porous film layer composed of nano-SiO2 particles, which has a good antireflection and antireflection effect. Then, it undergoes high-temperature tempering sintering to improve the bonding force between the film layer and the glass, enhance the strength of the glass, and at the same time improve the output power of the photovoltaic module.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a plurality of support columns 24 are arranged at intervals in the groove 21. The top surface of the support column 24 is flush with the top surface of the substrate 2. By providing the support columns 24, the top plate 1 is supported in the groove 21, improving the structural strength and connection reliability when the top plate 1 and the substrate 2 are fixed together, and ensuring the use quality and service life of the photovoltaic glass.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the cross-section of the support column 24 is circular, and the support column 24 is made of a transparent material. By setting the support column 24 as a cylinder, while ensuring the quality of the photovoltaic glass remains unchanged, the effective support area of a single support column 24 is increased, enhancing the connection strength between the top plate 1 and the substrate 2. At the same time, by setting the support column 24 as a transparent structure, it will not obstruct the light from entering through the top plate 1, ensuring the transmission of light in the sealed cavity 23, and then ensuring the light transmission efficiency of the photovoltaic glass, thereby losing less light and improving the power generation efficiency of the device.

[0033] In some embodiments, the top plate 1 and the substrate 2 are adhesively sealed, and the sealed cavity 23 is a vacuum cavity. The top plate 1 and the substrate 2 are adhesively bonded through a sealant, which can ensure the sealing effect of the sealed cavity 23. At the same time, the sealed cavity 23 is evacuated to form a heat insulation cavity, reducing the heat transfer between the top plate 1 and the substrate 2, ensuring that the temperature of the bottom plate meets the optimal working temperature of the cell board, facilitating the photoelectric conversion of the cell board, improving the power generation efficiency, and at the same time ensuring that there are no impurities and water vapor in the sealed cavity 23, avoiding the refraction and scattering of light after passing through the top plate 1 and then through the impurities or water vapor in the sealed cavity 23, and ensuring the penetration efficiency of light at the position of the substrate 2.

[0034] In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the groove 21 is frosted, and the height of the protrusion 22 is not greater than the radius of the sphere corresponding to the protrusion 22. By frosting the bottom surface of the groove 21, the diffuse reflection of light in the groove 21 is reduced, and then it is ensured that the light entering the sealed groove can be transmitted in the direction from the top plate 1 to the substrate 2, ensuring the light transmittance. At the same time, the size of the protrusion 22 is restricted to ensure the focusing effect of light, unifying the refraction direction of light after passing through the protrusion 22, facilitating the aggregation of light, and improving the photovoltaic power generation effect.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a second film layer 4 is provided on the side of the first film layer 3 away from the top plate 1, and the thickness of the second film layer 4 is not greater than the thickness of the first film layer 3. By providing the second film layer 4, the refraction of light when it reaches the top plate 1 is further reduced, ensuring the light transmittance, and the power generation power of the photovoltaic module can be improved.

[0036] In some embodiments, the second film layer 4 is an antireflection film layer. By providing the antireflection film layer, the light transmittance of the top plate 1 can be improved, ensuring the penetration efficiency of light at the position of the top plate 1, and then increasing the utilization efficiency of the photovoltaic module for light.

[0037] In some embodiments, the second film layer 4 is an anti-reflection film layer. The first film layer 3 is formed by directly coating the bottom coating solution on the top plate 1 of the photovoltaic glass. The bottom coating solution is cured into a film on the top plate 1 of the photovoltaic glass. The second film layer 4 is coated on the surface of the bottom film layer, and after curing and tempering treatments, a double-layer anti-reflection film layer is formed on the glass surface.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second film layer 4 is an anti-fouling film layer. An anti-fouling film layer is provided outside the first film layer 3. The anti-fouling film layer can reduce the accumulation of dust on the outside of the top plate 1, avoid interfering with the light transmittance of the top plate 1, and at the same time, the impurities on the anti-fouling film layer are relatively easy to clean, which is beneficial to ensuring the cleanliness of the surface of the photovoltaic glass and reducing the influence of external stains on the light transmittance of the photovoltaic glass.

[0039] In some embodiments, the anti-reflection film layer has a microporous structure layer for increasing the sunlight transmittance. The microporous structure layer has a number of micropores distributed in an array to improve the sunlight transmittance. Among them, the material of the anti-reflection film layer is SiO2.

[0040] In some embodiments, the thickness of the substrate 2 is greater than the thickness of the top plate 1, ensuring that the part of the substrate 2 below the groove 21 has the minimum thickness, ensuring the overall structural strength of the substrate 2, and the depth of the groove 21 is not greater than the thickness of the top plate 1, facilitating the processing of the inside of the groove 21 and ensuring the minimum size of the sealing cavity 23.

[0041] Optionally, the thickness of the substrate 2 is 8 - 12 mm, the thickness of the top plate 1 is 4 - 8 mm, and the thickness of the groove 21 is 2 - 4 mm.
