Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, and in particular to a back-contact cell, a cell assembly and a photovoltaic system. Background Art
[0002] Existing back-contact cells typically alternate between P-type emitters and N-type back surface fields on the backlit side of a silicon wafer. Because there are no metal electrodes blocking the light-receiving side of the silicon wafer, these cells offer high light utilization, high short-circuit current, and high open-circuit voltage, making them a promising technology for future high-efficiency crystalline silicon cells. In some back-contact cells, such as HBC and TBC, a transparent conductive film is sputtered over the P-type emitter and N-type back surface fields. Laser-assisted isolation trenches are then created to isolate the PN regions, and metal electrodes are then formed on the transparent conductive film.
[0003] However, currently manufactured back-contact cells typically utilize wide isolation trenches, which reduces the conductive area and hinders the improvement of the cell's photoelectric conversion efficiency. Furthermore, because the P-type emitter and N-type back surface field of back-contact cells are both located on the same side of the cell, the staggered arrangement of opposite-sex electrodes and the denser arrangement of electrodes require higher alignment precision during each process, resulting in poor cell production yields and hindering the improvement of cell conversion efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a back-contact battery, battery assembly and photovoltaic system in response to the existing technical status.
[0005] In the present invention, by providing raised portions on the side walls at both ends of the first TCO segment and / or the second TCO segment, the area of the conductive region is effectively increased, so that both electrons and holes can be promptly conducted out, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the back contact cell. At the same time, the provision of the raised portions causes the edges at both ends of the first TCO segment and / or the second TCO segment to form a concave and convex morphology, which can improve the contrast of the dividing lines between different conductive regions, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of subsequent processes such as screen printing electrodes, effectively reducing the production difficulty, and improving the production yield and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the back contact cell.

[0051] First, refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a back-contact battery, comprising:
[0052] A substrate 1, the substrate 1 comprising a front surface and a back surface which are oppositely arranged, and the back surface having a plurality of first regions and second regions which are alternately arranged along a first direction;
[0053] A first semiconductor layer 2, disposed in the first region, comprising a first doped layer 21;
[0054] A second semiconductor layer 3, at least partially disposed in the second region, comprising a second doped layer 31, and the polarity of the second doped layer 31 being opposite to the polarity of the first doped layer 21;
[0055] A TCO layer 4, comprising a first TCO segment 41 disposed in the first region and a second TCO segment 42 disposed in the second region, at least a partial region of the first TCO segment 41 being electrically connected to the first doped layer 21, at least a partial region of the second TCO segment 42 being electrically connected to the second doped layer 31, the first TCO segment 41 and the second TCO segment 42 being arranged in an alternating and spaced manner in the first direction, and the first TCO segment 41 and / or the second TCO segment 42 each comprising a main body 43, and a plurality of protruding portions 44 being provided on the side walls at both ends of the main body 43 in the first direction and extending in a direction away from the main body 43.
[0056] Among them, the substrate 1 has a front side and a back side that are oppositely arranged. Generally, the front side refers to the side where the light-receiving surface of the battery is located, that is, the side of the battery that receives light. A second passivation layer 32, an antireflection layer, etc. that are common in the art may also be provided on its surface, but are not limited thereto. Generally, the back side refers to the side where the light-backing surface of the battery is located, that is, the side of the battery that faces away from the sun. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the back side can also absorb the light incident through the back side and then generate a photocurrent. In some embodiments, the front side and the back side may have certain morphological changes. For example, the front side can be a textured surface structure, and the back side can be set as a textured surface structure in a certain area and a planar structure in a certain area. Exemplarily, the substrate 1 can be an N-type silicon substrate or a P-type silicon substrate, but is not limited thereto.
[0057] In the first embodiment, the first TCO segment 41 includes a main body 43 (the first main body 431), and a plurality of protrusions 44 (the first protrusions 441) extending in a direction away from the main body 43 are provided on the side walls at both ends of the main body 43 in the first direction.
[0058] In the second embodiment, the second TCO segment 42 includes a main body 43 (the second main body 432), and a plurality of protrusions 44 (the second protrusions 442) extending in a direction away from the main body 43 are provided on the side walls at both ends of the main body 43 in the first direction.
[0059] Preferably, in the third embodiment, the first TCO segment 41 includes a main body 43 (the first main body 431), and a plurality of protrusions 44 (the first protrusions 441) extending in a direction away from the main body 43 are provided on the side walls at both ends of the main body 43 in the first direction. The second TCO segment 42 includes a main body 43 (the second main body 432), and a plurality of protrusions 44 (the second protrusions 442) extending in a direction away from the main body 43 are provided on the side walls at both ends of the main body in the first direction.
[0060] It can be understood that in the following description, if not specifically specified, the descriptions of the main body 43 and the protrusions 44 can be applied to the main body 43 and the protrusions 44 of the first TCO segment 41, and can also be applied to the main body 43 and the protrusions 44 of the second TCO segment 42, and will not be repeated below.
[0061] It can be understood that the first TCO segment 41 and the second TCO segment 42 are arranged in an alternating and spaced manner in the first direction, which means that there is a discontinuity between adjacent first TCO segments 41 and second TCO segments 42, and the two are separated from each other.
[0062] In terms of the conduction type, the polarity of the first doping layer 21 and the polarity of the second doping layer 31 may be the same as that of the substrate 1 or opposite to that of the substrate 1, and it is only necessary to ensure that the polarity of the first doping layer 21 is opposite to that of the second doping layer 31. In terms of the arrangement of substances, the crystal phases of the first doping layer 21 and the second doping layer 31 may be amorphous, microcrystalline, nanocrystalline, single crystal, polycrystalline, etc.
[0063] In the prior art, both ends of the transparent conductive layer corresponding to the P-type region and the transparent conductive layer corresponding to the N-type region have regular planar structures. In the present invention, by providing a first TCO segment 41 electrically connected to the first doping layer 21 and a second TCO segment 42 electrically connected to the second doping layer 31, the two are arranged at intervals and staggered in a first direction, and a plurality of protrusions 44 extending in a direction away from its main body 43 are provided on both side walls at both ends of the first TCO segment 41 and / or the second TCO segment 42. On the premise of suppressing leakage, by providing the protrusions 44 on both side walls at both ends of the first TCO segment 41 and / or the second TCO segment 42, the conductive area is effectively increased, so that both electrons and holes can be timely exported, improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the back contact battery. At the same time, the setting of the protrusions 44 makes the two ends of the first TCO segment 41 and / or the second TCO segment 42 form an uneven topography, which can improve the contrast of the boundary line between different conductive regions, thereby improving the alignment accuracy of subsequent processes such as screen printing electrodes, reducing the difficulty of precise alignment, effectively reducing the production difficulty, and improving the production yield and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the back contact battery.
[0064] It can be understood that the first TCO segment 41 and the first doping layer 21 can be electrically connected through direct contact or indirectly through a conductive material layer. The contact can be that a partial area of the first TCO segment 41 contacts the first doping layer 21, or the entire area of the first TCO segment 41 contacts the first doping layer 21. Similarly, the second TCO segment 42 and the second doping layer 31 can be electrically connected through direct contact or indirectly through a conductive material layer. The contact can be that a partial area of the second TCO segment 42 contacts the second doping layer 31, or the entire area of the second TCO segment 42 contacts the second doping layer 31.
[0065] In some embodiments, the material of the first TCO segment and / or the second TCO segment can be any one of ITO, IWO, and AZO.
[0066] In some embodiments, the first TCO segment and / or the second TCO segment can be a single-layer material layer or a composite TCO material layer formed by stacking multiple material layers.
[0067] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the protrusion 44 has a single-peak structure or a multi-peak structure. The multi-peak structure includes several single-peak structures that are at least partially connected. The single-peak structure is a sharp-peak structure or a hump-shaped structure. Among them, the sharp-peak structure refers to a mountain-shaped structure with a sharp angle, and its contour is triangular or approximately triangular. The hump-shaped structure refers to a mountain-shaped structure in which the end far from the main body 43 is in an arc-shaped curve rather than a sharp angle. It can be understood that on the same side wall of the same main body 43, there can be both the protrusion 44 with a peak structure and the protrusion 44 with a multi-peak structure at the same time.
[0068] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 as shown, in the first direction, the relative distance h between the end of the protrusion 44 far from the main body 43 to which it is connected and the main body 43 to which it is connected is:
[0069] h = a × w G
[0070] wherein, w G is the width distance between the main body 43 of the adjacent first TCO segment 41 and the main body 43 of the second TCO segment 42 in the first direction, and a is 0.7% to 3.5%.
[0071] When the protrusion amplitude of the protrusion 44 is too small, the formed uneven topography is not obvious, and the increase in the area of the conductive region and the improvement of the contrast of the boundary line between different conductive regions are limited, which affects the alignment accuracy. When the protrusion amplitude of the protrusion 44 is too large, the risk of short circuit between different conductive regions in contact is likely to increase.
[0072] In some embodiments, in the first direction, the relative distance h between the end of the protrusion 44 far from the main body 43 to which it is connected and the main body 43 to which it is connected is 5 μm to 25 μm.
[0073] Exemplarily, h is 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, 20 μm, 22 μm, 24 μm or 25 μm, but not limited thereto.
[0074] Currently, there are certain ranges of differences in the width dimensions and interval dimensions of the back contact battery on different conductive regions of the transparent conductive layer in the market. When h is 5 μm to 25 μm, it can adapt to different specifications of the back contact battery, can effectively separate adjacent different conductive regions while increasing the area of the conductive region, and form a distinct uneven topography, improve the alignment accuracy, reduce the difficulty of precise alignment, and thus effectively improve the production yield and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery.
[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 3As shown, the convex portion 44 includes a first convex 441 located on the first TCO segment 41. In the first direction, the relative distance h1 between one end of the first convex 441 away from the main body 43 it is connected to and the main body 43 it is connected to is:
[0076] h1 = b × w1
[0077] In the formula, w1 is the width distance of the main body 43 to which the first convex 441 is connected in the first direction, and b is 1% to 6.25%.
[0078] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the convex portion 44 includes a second convex 442 located on the second TCO segment 42. In the first direction, the relative distance h2 between one end of the second convex 442 away from the main body 43 it is connected to and the main body 43 it is connected to is:
[0079] h2 = c × w2
[0080] In the formula, w1 is the width distance of the main body 43 to which the second convex 442 is connected in the first direction, and c is 1% to 6.25%.
[0081] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it further includes a protective ink layer 5. The protective ink layer 5 includes a first ink portion 51 and a second ink portion 52. At least part of the first ink portion 51 and at least part of the second ink portion 52 are provided on the side of the first TCO segment 41 facing away from the substrate 1, and the first ink portion 51 and the second ink portion 52 are respectively provided at both ends of the first TCO segment 41 in the first direction. The sides of the first ink portion 51 and the second ink portion 52 that are away from each other in the first direction form a serrated edge, and a number of first protrusion units 55 are provided on both the first ink portion 51 and the second ink portion 52 outside the edge of the first TCO segment 41.
[0082] That is to say, partial regions of the first ink portion 51 and the second ink portion 52 are located on the first TCO segment 41, and there are first protrusion units 55 provided outside the edge of the first TCO segment 41 in the partial regions. Compared with the solution of only providing the convex portion 44 on the TCO layer 4, adopting the convex portion 44 provided on the TCO layer 4 in combination with the protective ink layer 5 with the first protrusion units 55 can further improve the contrast of the boundary line between different conductive regions. Cooperating with the concave-convex undulating morphology formed by the convex portion 44 of the first TCO segment 41, it can effectively improve the alignment accuracy of subsequent processes and reduce the alignment difficulty.
[0083] Among them, the protective ink layer 5 can be formed in the process of forming the isolation region that isolates the first TCO segment 41 from the second TCO segment 42. Exemplarily, ink is printed on the TCO layer 4, and then the TCO layer 4 in the area not covered by the ink is removed through a wet chemical process. Subsequently, the ink is cleaned, and during the cleaning process, local ink is retained to form the above-mentioned protective ink layer 5.
[0084] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 as shown, it further includes a protective ink layer 5. The protective ink layer 5 includes a third ink portion 53 and a fourth ink portion 54. At least a part of the third ink portion 53 and at least a part of the fourth ink portion 54 are disposed on the side of the second TCO segment 42 facing away from the substrate 1, and the third ink portion 53 and the fourth ink portion 54 are respectively disposed at two ends of the second TCO segment 42 in the first direction. The third ink portion 53 and the fourth ink portion 54 form a serrated edge on the side away from each other in the first direction, and a plurality of second protrusion units 56 disposed outside the edge of the second TCO segment 42 are provided on both the third ink portion 53 and the fourth ink portion 54.
[0085] That is to say, local areas of the third ink portion 53 and the fourth ink portion 54 are located on the second TCO segment 42, and there are second protrusion units 56 disposed outside the edge of the second TCO segment 42. The second protrusion units 56 can cooperate with the edge of the second TCO segment 42 to jointly form an edge morphology with higher contrast, further improving the contrast of the boundary line between different conductive regions.
[0086] It can be understood that the protective ink layer 5 can be composed of a first ink portion 51 and a second ink portion 52, or can be composed of a third ink portion 53 and a fourth ink portion 54, or can be composed of the first ink portion 51, the second ink portion 52, the third ink portion 53 and the fourth ink portion 54.
[0087] In some embodiments, the second semiconductor layer 3 is completely disposed in the second region.
[0088] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 as shown, the second semiconductor layer 3 includes a first segment 3A disposed in the first region and a second segment 3B disposed in the second region. The first segment 3A is connected to the second segment 3B. The first segment 3A is disposed on the side of the first semiconductor layer 2 facing away from the substrate 1, and an insulating protective layer 6 is provided between the first segment 3A and the first semiconductor layer 2. An avoidance hole 7 is provided in the first region. The avoidance hole 7 penetrates through part of the first segment 3A and part of the insulating protective layer 6. At least a part of the first TCO segment 41 is disposed in the avoidance hole 7 and is in contact with the side of the first doping layer 21 facing away from the substrate 1.
[0089] The insulating protective layer 6 plays an isolation and protection role, and the material of the insulating protective layer 6 can be any one of PSG (phosphosilicate glass) and SiN x (silicon nitride).
[0090] On the one hand, the insulating protective layer 6 can electrically isolate the first doped layer 21 and the second doped layer 31. On the other hand, during the preparation process, laser grooving can be performed first to remove a part of the first segment 3A at the position corresponding to the avoidance hole 7, so that the insulating protective layer 6 is exposed. Then, a wet chemical process is used to remove a part of the insulating protective layer 6 at the position corresponding to the avoidance hole 7, so that the first doped layer 21 is exposed. Then, the TCO layer 4 is deposited. In this way, high-energy laser can be avoided from directly acting on the first doped layer 21 during the preparation process, effectively avoiding the short-circuit risk of the PN region inside the battery.
[0091] The second semiconductor layer 3 retains the first segment 3A in the first region and is stacked on the insulating protective layer. Compared with the part of the second semiconductor layer 3 in the first region completely, this stacking method can simplify the process and improve production efficiency.
[0092] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the first TCO segment 41 includes a first extension segment 411 and a second extension segment 412 connected to each other. The first extension segment 411 is disposed in the avoidance hole 7 and is in contact with the first doped layer 21. The second extension segment 412 is disposed on the side of the second doped layer 31 facing away from the substrate 1.
