Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of solar cells, and in particular to a method for repairing a half-cut surface of a solar cell, a half-cell cell, a battery pack and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Driven by global energy transition goals, the photovoltaic industry's demand for high-power modules continues to climb. Compared to conventional full-cell modules, half-cell technology significantly reduces series resistance and improves fill factor (FF) by optimizing the cell layout, resulting in multiple advantages in power generation efficiency, levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), and system economics. This technology approach not only reduces costs for mounting systems and land by increasing per-watt output efficiency, but also reduces power generation losses caused by shading and dust and snow accumulation. Combined with its high maturity in large-scale mass production and manageable additional costs, it has become a core solution for replacing traditional energy sources.

[0003] The current mainstream half-cell module process uses laser cutting of whole cells to form symmetrical halves. While this process improves power output through parallel / series connection combined with bypass diodes, it faces inherent technical bottlenecks. Damage to the cell sides caused by the cutting process reduces conversion efficiency, offsetting some of the gains from the half-cell structure and limiting the power increase. Furthermore, the existing process requires secondary processing of the sorted, intact cells. Cutting defects can introduce the risk of hidden cracks, impacting the long-term reliability of the module and further limiting the performance optimization potential of half-cell technology.

[0004] The industry urgently needs to maintain the advantages of half-cell technology while overcoming the negative impact of existing processes on cell efficiency. The core conflict lies in the fact that while laser cutting simplifies the production process, physical damage and cell efficiency loss create a technical backlash. How to maximize conversion efficiency while achieving cell slicing through process innovation or structural optimization, thereby increasing the power gain of half-cell modules, remains a pressing technical challenge in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferably, the plane reflectivity after the alkali polishing treatment is 35-45%, and the surface roughness Ra is 0.5-1 μm.

[0011] The present invention also provides a half-cell solar cell, which includes a half-cell cell cut by laser, a polished plane formed on the cut surface using the above-mentioned cutting surface repair method, an oxide layer formed on the polished plane, and a silicon nitride layer formed on the oxide layer.

[0018] (2) laser cutting the good solar cell to form multiple half-cell cells;

[0028] PL (Photoluminescence) testing involves irradiating photovoltaic materials with light of a specific wavelength. Electrons in the material absorb the photon energy and are excited to a high-energy state. When these excited electrons return to their ground state, they emit light of a specific wavelength. This emitted light is then used to analyze the material's properties. PL testing can provide a preliminary assessment of cell performance, detecting defects, impurities, and inhomogeneities in the material. It can also be used to assess crystal quality. High-quality crystals typically exhibit strong PL signals and specific luminescence characteristics.

[0029] EL (electroluminescence) testing involves applying a voltage across a photovoltaic cell, causing electrons and holes in the cell to recombine and emit light under the action of the electric field. EL testing can also be used to detect defects in photovoltaic cells, such as cracks and broken gates. It can also evaluate the performance and efficiency of the cell and study the carrier transport and recombination processes within the cell.

[0030] Cell efficiency testing refers to the ability to convert solar energy into electrical energy. It is calculated using the following formula: Cell efficiency = output power / cell area.

[0031] Output power is measured using an IV tester. An IV tester (current-voltage tester) is a precision instrument that applies voltage and measures the current, plotting an IV characteristic curve (current-voltage relationship). It's used to evaluate the electrical performance and stability of electronic devices. The "IV" in its name stands for current (I) and voltage (V). Its core functions include measuring key parameters such as open-circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Isc), and maximum power (Pmax).

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0033] The present invention adopts alkali polishing technology, laser oxidation repair technology and combines it with deposition passivation technology to sequentially form a polishing plane, an oxide layer and a silicon nitride layer on the cut surface of a half-cell battery, thereby passivating defects, microcracks and impurities on the cut surface, repairing the composite damage caused by cutting damage, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the battery cell and ultimately increasing the power of the solar cell module; at the same time, the alkali polishing technology adopted by the present invention polishes and removes the cutting damage layer and microcracks, limits the plane reflectivity and roughness, and makes the cut surface smooth and flat after alkali polishing, which is conducive to the subsequent growth of the oxide layer.

[0034] The laser oxidation repair technology adopted in the present invention limits the parameters of the laser, so that the high-energy laser beam can be more accurately focused on the polished cut surface, generating instantaneous high temperature, ensuring the precise control and uniformity of the oxide layer thickness during continuous processing, and reducing the heat-affected zone to avoid damage to the surface layer other than the cut surface; and the laser acts in an oxygen atmosphere, and the photon energy breaks the diatomic bond of O2, generating atomic oxygen (O), ionic oxygen (O + , O -) and ozone (O3). These reactive oxygen species have significantly greater oxidizing power than ordinary oxygen. After polishing the cut surface, the smoother surface facilitates the formation of a more stable and uniform silicon oxide layer. The silicon oxide formed after oxygen atoms repair dangling silicon bonds after polishing, combined with post-treatments such as high-temperature rapid annealing (CVD deposition of silicon nitride), can further reduce surface micro-defects (such as thermal donors and stacking faults), improve lattice integrity and gettering capacity, and thus achieve defect repair and passivation of side cuts.
