[0039] A photovoltaic module comprises the photovoltaic glass described above.

[0040] (1) First, the content of Bi2O3 and SrO2 is set to control the impact resistance and weather resistance of the black glazed photovoltaic glass. When other components and process parameters remain unchanged, the weight percentage of the specific components of the flux is controlled as shown in Table 1 below:

[0041] Table 1.

[0042] serial number <![CDATA[SiO2]]> <![CDATA[Na2O]]> <![CDATA[B2O3]]> <![CDATA[Bi2O3]]> <![CDATA[SrO2]]> H001 52% 16% 15% 1.2% 15.8% H002 52% 16% 15% 2.2% 14.8% H003 52% 16% 15% 3.2% 13.8% H004 52% 16% 15% 4.2% 12.8%

[0043] By adjusting the content of Bi2O3 and SrO2, the specific performance analysis is as follows:

[0044] 1) Adhesion: Select three points on the coating and use a scriber with a 1mm interval to make a 10mm*10mm horizontal and vertical grid. The scratches should be deep enough to reach the original glass surface. After removing the scratched object, use tape to stick to the scratched surface of the coating and quickly pull it up in a 90° direction. Repeat 5 times in a row and observe the surface changes and defects of the glaze coating grid.

[0045] 2) Hardness: Use a Chinese pencil with a hardness of 5H to test the surface of the photovoltaic glass. After erasing the scratches with a soft eraser, visually inspect the surface for scratches after the coating test.

[0046] 3) Acid Resistance: Four types of photovoltaic glass were placed in a 0.1 M HCl solution and soaked for 1 h, 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, and 10 h. The glasses were then removed from the solution, rinsed with distilled water, and dried at 100°C. The reflectivity of the four types of photovoltaic glass was then measured using a Konica Minolta CM-26dG / 26d / 25d spectrophotometer to investigate their stability in acidic solutions.

[0047] 4) Alkali resistance: Four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers were placed in a 0.1 M NaOH solution and soaked for 1 h, 3 h, 5 h, 7 h, and 10 h. The glasses were then removed from the solution, rinsed with distilled water, and dried at 100°C. The reflectivity of the four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers was then measured to investigate their stability in alkaline solutions.

[0048] 5) Salt immersion resistance: Four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers were placed in a 0.1M NaCl solution and soaked for 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours, 7 hours, and 1 hour, then removed and rinsed with distilled water. After drying at 100°C, the reflectivity of the four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers was tested to study the stability of the photovoltaic glass in salt solution.

[0049] 6) Boiling resistance: Four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers were placed in 80°C hot water for 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours, 7 hours, and 10 hours. After being removed, they were rinsed with distilled water and dried at 100°C. The reflectivity of the four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers was then tested to study the stability of the photovoltaic glass in hot water.

[0050] 7) Moisture resistance: Four photovoltaic glasses with different numbers were placed in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at a temperature of 65°C and a humidity of 95%. After 168 hours, they were taken out and cooled at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reflectivity changes of the four photovoltaic glasses with different numbers were then measured.

[0051] 8) Resistance to hot and cold cycles: Four photovoltaic glasses with different numbers were placed in a constant temperature box. The temperature was set to 80±1°C and kept warm for 3 hours. Then the temperature was set to 40±1°C and kept warm for 3 hours. Then the temperature was raised to 80±1°C. This cycle was repeated. The temperature rose or fell for 2 hours. A total of 20 cycles were tested to detect the reflectivity changes of the four photovoltaic glasses with different numbers.

[0052] 9) Anti-ultraviolet radiation: Eight UV150W lamps were used to irradiate four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers at 60°C for 5 hours and then condense at 50°C for 5 hours. This constituted one cycle. A total of 10 cycles were conducted to test the reflectivity of the four types of photovoltaic glass with different numbers. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0053] Table 2.

[0054]

[0055] From the specific test results in Table 2, it can be seen that the glaze coating on H003 (i.e., when the Bi2O3 and SrO2 contents are 3.2% and 13.8% respectively) will not fall off and has excellent stability.

[0056] (2) The type of resin in the ink will affect the quality of the ink coating, which in turn will have a significant impact on the power generation efficiency and impact resistance of the photovoltaic module. If the resin decomposes during drying, the ink coating will have insufficient adhesion and fall off. If the resin has not decomposed after the glass base material softens, the ink coating will turn black, produce pinholes, and reduce the adhesion of the coating after sintering. Therefore, it is necessary to select an ink resin with a suitable decomposition temperature. While keeping the Bi2O3 and SrO2 contents at 3.2% and 13.8% respectively, the effects of four different resins on the power generation efficiency and impact resistance of the photovoltaic module are explored. The test results are shown in Table 3.

[0057] Table 3.

[0058]

[0059]

[0060] From the specific test results in Table 3, it can be seen that polyurethane resin has the greatest impact on the power generation efficiency and impact resistance of photovoltaic modules.

[0061] (3) The next step is to find the appropriate polyurethane resin content. Therefore, five types of ink varnishes were designed. The content of polyurethane resin in the ink varnishes is shown in Table 4. The effects of different polyurethane resin contents on the power generation efficiency and impact resistance of photovoltaic modules were explored.

[0062] Table 4.

[0063]

[0064] From the test results in Table 4, it can be seen that when the polyurethane resin content in the varnish is 4.5 wt %, its impact resistance and power generation efficiency can reach the optimal level.

[0065] In summary, when the Bi2O3 and SrO2 contents in the flux are 3.2% and 13.8% respectively, and the polyurethane resin in the varnish is used as a synthetic raw material and its content is 4.5wt%, the photovoltaic module can have the best power generation efficiency and stability.

[0066] The above embodiments are preferred implementation modes of the present invention, but the implementation modes of the present invention are not limited to the above embodiments. Any other changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, and simplifications that do not deviate from the spirit and principles of the present invention should be considered as equivalent replacement methods and are included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
