Description

[0002] Currently, with the gradual depletion of fossil fuels, solar cells are becoming increasingly widely used as a new energy alternative. A solar cell is a device that converts solar energy into electrical energy.

Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a membrane-coated busbar assembly provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of a battery string provided in an embodiment of the present invention, for reference. Figures 1-6 The solar cell module includes:

[0046] A plurality of battery strings 10, a first insulating film 20, and a film-coated busbar assembly 40.

[0047] Each battery string 10 includes multiple solar cells 11 and multiple first solder strips 12. The multiple solar cells 11 in each battery string 10 are arranged sequentially along a first direction X. The first solder strips 12 are disposed on the first surface of the solar cells 11, and the multiple solar cells 11 in each battery string 10 are connected in series through the first solder strips 12.

[0048] Each battery string 10 contains a plurality of solar cells 11 including edge cells 111 and a central cell 112 disposed between the edge cells 111. The first surface of the central cell 112 is provided with a first insulating film 20, which covers at least a portion of the area of ​​the first solder strip 12.

[0049] A fixing adhesive 50 is provided on the surface of the first solder strip 12 of the edge battery 111 away from the edge battery 11, and the fixing adhesive 50 is used to fix the first solder strip 12.

[0050] The membrane-coated busbar assembly 40 includes a busbar 41, multiple second welding strips 42, and a second insulating film 43; the multiple second welding strips 42 are connected to the busbar 21, and the second insulating film 43 is fixedly connected to the multiple second welding strips 42;

[0051] The coated busbar assembly 40 is used to connect adjacent battery strings 10 in series or in parallel; the second insulating film 43 of the coated busbar assembly 40 is disposed on the first surface of the edge battery 111, the second solder strip 42 of the coated busbar assembly 40 is electrically connected to the preset grid lines of the edge battery 111, the second insulating film 43 is disposed on the side of the second solder strip 42 and the fixing adhesive 50 away from the edge battery 111, the second insulating film 43 covers at least a portion of the fixing adhesive 50, the second solder strip 42 and at least a portion of the first solder strip 12, and the grid lines of the edge battery 111 other than the preset grid lines are electrically connected to the first solder strip 12.

[0052] The solar cell 11 can be a back-contact solar cell, and the solar cell can include a substrate and a first doped layer, a second doped layer, a first grid line, and a second grid line disposed on one side of the substrate. A cell string 10 can include multiple solar cells 11, and a first solder ribbon 12 is connected to the first grid line or the second grid line of the solar cell 11 to realize the series connection of multiple solar cells 11 in the cell string 10. Two solar cells 11 located at the two edges along the first direction X in a cell string 10 are edge cells 111, and the solar cells 11 other than the edge cells 111 are central cells 112. The second solder ribbon 42 is used to connect the edge cells 111 to the busbar 41. The solar cell module can include multiple cell strings 10, and the multiple cell strings 10 are connected in series and / or in parallel. For example, some cell strings 10 adjacent along the second direction Y are connected in series through a coated busbar assembly 40, and some cell strings 10 adjacent along the first direction X are connected in parallel through a coated busbar assembly 40.

[0053] The first insulating film 20 covers at least a portion of the first surface of the central cell 112, thereby fixing the first solder ribbon 12. For example, the first insulating film 20 can cover the portion of the first surface where the first solder ribbon 12 is located. Multiple solar cells 11 can be arranged sequentially along the first direction X, and the first solder ribbon 12 can be placed on the surface of the solar cells 11. After placing the first solder ribbon 12, the first insulating film 20 is placed on the surface of the first solder ribbon 12 of the central cell 112. A certain pressure is applied to the first insulating film 20 and it is heated to fix the first insulating film 20 to the first surface of the solar cell 11.

[0054] A fixing adhesive 50 is provided on the surface of the first solder strip 12 of the edge battery 112, which serves to fix the first solder strip 12. A mesh mold can be set on the surface of the battery assembly, and the fixing adhesive 50 is applied to the surface of the first solder strip 12 through the mesh of the mold. The position of the mold mesh can be set according to the required application location. Applying the fixing adhesive 50 to the surface of the first solder strip 12 through the mesh mold allows the fixing adhesive 50 to be precisely applied to the surface of the first solder strip 12.

[0055] After applying adhesive 50 to the surface of the first solder ribbon 12 of the edge battery 111, the coated busbar assembly 40 is disposed on the first surface of the edge battery 111. The second solder ribbon 42 of the coated busbar assembly 40 is connected to the grid lines on the edge battery 111 that are not connected to the first solder ribbon 12. The second insulating film 43 of the coated busbar assembly 40 covers at least a portion of the second solder ribbon 42, the adhesive 50, and at least a portion of the first solder ribbon 12. For example, the second insulating film 43 may cover the first surface of the edge battery 111, covering the portions of the first solder ribbon 12 and the second solder ribbon 42 located on the first surface. Pressure and heat may be applied to a portion or the entire second insulating film 43 to fix the second insulating film 43 to the edge battery 111, thereby fixing the first solder ribbon 12 and the second solder ribbon 42 on the surface of the edge battery 111.

[0056] In this embodiment of the invention, a first insulating film 20 is provided on the surface of the central battery 112 to fix the first solder strip 12 on the surface of the central battery 112. A fixing adhesive 50 is provided on the surface of the first solder strip 12 of the edge battery 111 to fix the first solder strip 12 of the edge battery 111, preventing the first solder strip 12 from falling off or moving before the coated busbar assembly 40 is installed. Furthermore, the coated busbar assembly 40 of this embodiment integrates the busbar 41, the second solder strip 42, and the second insulating film 43 into a single component, forming a coated busbar assembly. After component 40 is disposed on the surface of the edge cell 111, it can simultaneously connect the second solder ribbon 42 to the edge cell 111 and fix the second solder ribbon 42 and the first solder ribbon 41 with the second insulating film 43. Furthermore, the second insulating film 42 can fix the second solder ribbon 42 before the coated busbar assembly 40 is disposed on the edge cell 111, thus fixing the gap between the second solder ribbons 42 and the shape of the second solder ribbon 42. This reduces the alignment difficulty when placing the second solder ribbon 42 onto the edge cell 111 and improves the alignment accuracy between the second solder ribbon 42 and the grid lines. Therefore, the embodiments of the present invention can better avoid solder ribbon misalignment or movement, improving the reliability of the solar cell module.

[0057] It should be noted that, for solar cells with a main grid, the grid line in this embodiment refers to the main grid connected to the solder ribbon in solar cell 11. For solar cells without a main grid, in one case, the extension direction of the solder ribbon is perpendicular to the extension direction of the grid line, and one solder ribbon is welded to multiple grid lines through a connection structure on each grid line, which can be a pad on the grid line; in another case, the extension direction of the solder ribbon is parallel to the extension direction of the grid line, and one solder ribbon is welded to one grid line.

[0058] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the fixing adhesive 50 is arranged at intervals on the surface of the first welding strip 12 along the first direction X.

[0059] Specifically, by spaced-apart fixative 50 on the surface of the first solder ribbon 12, fixative 50 is provided at different positions along the entire length of the first solder ribbon 12, allowing the fixative 50 to better fix the first solder ribbon 12. Furthermore, by spaced-aparting the fixative 50, after the coated busbar assembly 40 is installed, the second insulating film 43 can better adhere and fix to the first surface of the edge battery 111, allowing the second insulating film 43 to better fix the first solder ribbon 12 and the second solder ribbon 42.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, in the coated busbar assembly 40, multiple second welding strips 42 are disposed on the same side of the busbar 41; the busbar 41 is disposed on the central battery 112 adjacent to the edge battery 111, and is disposed on the side of the first insulating film 20 of the central battery 112 away from the central battery 112.

[0061] A third insulating film 30 is provided between the busbar 41 and the first insulating film 20, and the third insulating film 30 extends from the central battery 112 where the busbar 41 is located to the first surface of the edge battery 111 adjacent to the busbar 41.

[0062] For details, please refer to Figure 2 After a first insulating film 20 is provided on the central battery 112 of the battery string 10, a third insulating film 30 is provided on the surface of the first insulating film 20 of the central battery 112 where the busbar 41 needs to be installed. (Reference) Figure 1 Then, the coated busbar assembly 40 is disposed on the surface of the edge battery 111, so that the second solder strip 42 of the coated busbar assembly 40 is connected to the grid line of the edge battery 111, and the second insulating film 42 of the coated busbar assembly 40 is fixedly connected to the edge battery 111.

[0063] refer to Figures 1-5Multiple second solder strips 42 are disposed on the same side of the busbar 41 and connected to the busbar 41. That is, multiple second solder strips 42 extend along the first direction X, and the busbar 41 extends along the second direction Y. Along the first direction X, the second solder strips 42 are disposed on the same side of the busbar 41. This arrangement allows the busbar 41 to be disposed on the surface of the central battery 112 adjacent to the edge battery 111 after the coated busbar assembly 40 is disposed on the surface of the edge battery 111. This allows the second solder strips 42 to be connected to all grid lines of the same polarity in the edge battery 111. This avoids the situation where the grid lines below the busbar 41 cannot be connected to the second solder strips 42 when the busbar 41 is disposed on the surface of the edge battery 111, resulting in some current not being collected. For example, in a gridless solar cell, when the extension direction of the solder ribbon is perpendicular to the extension direction of the grid line, and a solder ribbon is welded to multiple grid lines through the connection structure on each grid line, if the busbar 41 is located on the surface of the edge cell 111, the connection structure located below the busbar 41 cannot be connected to the second solder ribbon 42, resulting in the current of the grid line connected to the connection structure not being collected.

[0064] Furthermore, the third insulating film 30 extends from the central battery 112 where the busbar 41 is located to the first surface of the edge battery 111 adjacent to the busbar 41. That is, the third insulating film 30 covers a designated area on the central battery 112 where the busbar 41 is located, the gap between the central battery 112 and the edge battery 112, and at least a portion of the first surface of the edge battery 111 adjacent to the central battery 112. The busbar 41 is located within the designated area, and the designated area includes a first edge and a second edge opposite each other along a first direction. The second edge is located at the edge of the central battery 112 adjacent to the edge battery 111, and the first edge is located on the side of the busbar 41 away from the edge battery. This arrangement ensures that the second solder strip 42 is insulated from the heterogeneous grid lines of the central battery 112 where the busbar 41 is located, preventing short circuits.

[0065] The following is a brief description of the entire manufacturing process of the battery assembly:

[0066] 1. Arrange solar cells into strings.

[0067] 2. Place the first solder strip on the second preset grid area of ​​the battery string, and simultaneously apply the first insulating film to the surface of the central battery, and pre-fix it by heating.

[0068] 3. Place a perforated thin mesh on the first surface of the edge battery of the coated battery string (the battery string after the first insulating film is applied) to fix the first welding strip. Apply a fixing adhesive on the first welding strip and remove the perforated thin mesh after curing. For example, the fixing adhesive can be a UV adhesive or a thermosetting pressure-sensitive adhesive, and the thickness of the perforated thin mesh can be 0.5-2mm.

[0069] 4. Lay the coated battery strings on the front panel and front adhesive film assembly according to the preset layout, and at the same time, fix the coated battery strings by hot stamping according to the preset hot stamping area to fix the solar cells to the front adhesive film.

[0070] 5. Lay the third insulating film in the preset area of ​​the arranged battery components.

[0071] 6. Weld the second welding strip to the busbar, and at the same time lay the second insulating film to fix the second welding strip to form a membrane busbar assembly.

[0072] 7. After the third insulating film is applied, apply the film-coated busbar assembly to the battery assembly and fix it with hot stamping to fix the busbar and the third insulating film, and fix the second insulating film and the edge battery.

[0073] 8. After laying the adhesive film and backsheet, the battery assembly to be laminated is obtained.

[0074] 9. Lamination is performed by welding the solder strip and the solar cell to obtain a cell laminate. For example, the lamination temperature can be 145°C-155°C.

[0075] 10. Assemble the junction box, frame, and cure to obtain the battery assembly. Optionally, based on the above embodiment, the thickness of the third insulating film 30 is greater than the thickness of the first insulating film 20.

[0076] Specifically, a first insulating film 20 and a third insulating film 30 are located between the busbar 41 and the first solder strip 12. The first insulating film 20 serves to fix the first solder strip 12, while the third insulating film 30 mainly serves an insulating function, insulating the busbar 41 and the surface of the first solder strip 12 of the central cell 112. By setting the thickness of the third insulating film 30 to be greater than that of the first insulating film 20, the third insulating film 30 can provide better insulation, thereby improving the reliability of the solar cell module.

[0077] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the thickness of the third insulating film 30 is greater than or equal to 100 micrometers and less than or equal to 250 micrometers;

[0078] The thickness of the first insulating film 20 is greater than or equal to 60 micrometers and less than or equal to 100 micrometers.

[0079] Specifically, if the thickness of the first insulating film 20 is too small, it will increase the difficulty of lamination and may not provide a good fixing effect. If the thickness of the first insulating film 20 is too large, it will increase the thickness of the entire battery assembly and cause material waste. By setting the thickness of the first insulating film 20 to be greater than or equal to 60 micrometers and less than or equal to 100 micrometers, the lamination difficulty of the first insulating film 20 can be reduced while ensuring that the first insulating film 20 can provide a good fixing effect, and the battery assembly can be kept to a smaller thickness, thus reducing material costs.

[0080] If the thickness of the third insulating film 30 is too small, it cannot provide adequate insulation. If the thickness of the third insulating film 30 is too large, it will cause an excessive height difference when the second solder ribbon 42 extends from the surface of the busbar 41 to the first surface of the edge cell 111, resulting in significant bending of the second solder ribbon 42 and affecting its service life. By setting the thickness of the third insulating film 30 to be greater than or equal to 100 micrometers and less than or equal to 250 micrometers, while ensuring that the third insulating film 30 can provide adequate insulation, the height difference when the second solder ribbon 42 extends from the surface of the busbar 41 to the first surface of the edge cell 111 can be reduced, thus avoiding significant bending of the second solder ribbon 42, extending its service life, and improving the reliability of the solar cell module.

[0081] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the first insulating film 20 and the second insulating film 43 are made of the same material.

[0082] Specifically, both the first insulating film 20 and the second insulating film 43 serve to fix the welding strip. By using the same material for the first insulating film 20 and the second insulating film 43, costs can be reduced. Furthermore, both films can be coated using the same coating process and fixed using the same fixing process (e.g., they can be heated to the same temperature under the same pressure), which reduces process costs.

[0083] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the first insulating films 20 of adjacent central batteries 112 are disconnected from each other, or at least some of the first insulating films 20 of adjacent central batteries 112 are an integral structure.

[0084] Specifically, the first insulating film 20 of adjacent central batteries 112 is disconnected from each other, that is, each central battery 111 has its own first insulating film 20. At least some of the first insulating films 20 of adjacent central batteries 112 are integral structures, that is, some of the adjacent central batteries 112 use the same first insulating film 20. For example, two central batteries 11 can use one first insulating film 20, or multiple central batteries 111 can use one first insulating film 20.

[0085] The smaller first insulating film 20 adheres more smoothly to the battery after being applied, and is less prone to bulging. Therefore, the first insulating films 20 of adjacent central batteries 112 are disconnected from each other, which can prevent the first insulating film 20 from bulging and causing the first solder strip 12 to detach from the central battery 112.

[0086] Two or more central batteries 112 use a larger first insulating film 20, which allows two or more central batteries 112 to be coated together, reducing the number of coating times and improving coating efficiency.

[0088] The solar cell module includes a first edge 101 and a second edge 102 opposite each other along a first direction X.

[0089] The second insulating film 43 of the first component 401 is disposed on the surface of the edge battery 111 at the first edge 401 or the second edge 402. The first component 401 is used to connect two adjacent battery strings 10 along the second direction Y. The second insulating film 43 of the second component 402 and the second insulating film 43 of the third component 403 are disposed on the surface of the adjacent edge battery 111 of the adjacent battery strings 10. The second component 402 is used to connect four battery strings 10 arranged in an array along the first direction X and the second direction Y. The third component 403 is used to connect two adjacent battery strings 10 along the first direction X. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0090] The second insulating film 43 of the first component 401 includes two first sub-films 431 spaced apart along the second direction Y, each first sub-film 431 covering an edge battery 111. Figure 3 Alternatively, the first component 401 may include only one second insulating film 43, which covers all edge cells connected to the first component 401. Figure 8 );

[0091] The second insulating film 43 of the second component 402 includes two second sub-films 432 spaced apart along the first direction X, each second sub-film 432 covering two adjacent edge cells along the second direction Y. Figure 9 Alternatively, the second insulating film 43 of the second component 402 includes two third sub-films 433 spaced apart along the second direction Y, each third sub-film 433 covering two adjacent edge cells 111 along the first direction X. Figure 10 Alternatively, the second insulating film 43 of the second component 402 includes four fourth sub-films 434 arranged in an array, each fourth sub-film 434 covering an edge cell. Figure 4 Alternatively, the second component 402 may include only one second insulating film 43, which covers all edge cells connected to the second component 402.

[0092] The second insulating film 43 of the third component 403 includes two fifth sub-films 435 spaced apart along the first direction X, each fifth sub-film 435 covering an edge cell 111. Figure 5 Alternatively, the third component 403 may consist of only one second insulating film 43, which covers all edge cells 111 connected to the third component 403. Figure 11 ).

[0093] Specifically, each coated busbar assembly 40 may include a single piece of second insulating film 43, which covers all edge cells 111 connected to the coated busbar assembly 40, such as... Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the second insulating film 43 of the first component 401 covers two adjacent edge cells 111, and the second insulating film 43 of the third component 403 covers two adjacent edge cells 111. Each coated busbar assembly 40 may include a single piece of second insulating film 43, such that the second insulating film 43 fixes the positions of all the second solder strips 42 of the coated busbar assembly 40, reducing the alignment difficulty when the coated busbar assembly 40 is attached to the edge cells 111.

[0094] The second insulating film 43 of each membrane busbar assembly 40 can also be divided into several sub-films, each sub-film corresponding to cover an edge battery 111. This arrangement can avoid the second insulating film 43 being too large, causing bulges when it is attached to the edge battery 111, which would cause the bulges to cause the second solder strip 42 to shift.

[0095] Optionally, the length of the second solder strip 42 of the first component 401 is less than the length of the second solder strip 42 of the second component 402; and the length of the second solder strip 42 of the first component 401 is less than the length of the second solder strip 42 of the third component 403.

[0096] Specifically, the second solder strip 42 extends along the first direction X, and the length of the second solder strip 42 is the dimension of the second solder strip 42 along the first direction X. The first component 401 is used to connect two adjacent battery strings 10 along the second direction Y. The second solder strip 42 of the first component 401 only needs to connect one edge battery 111 along the first direction X, and the length of the second solder strip 42 of the first component 401 is close to the dimension of one edge battery 111 along the first direction X. The second component 402 and the third component 403 both connect adjacent edge batteries 111 along the first direction X. The second solder strip 42 of the second component 402 and the third component 403 need to connect two edge batteries 111 along the first direction X, and the length of the second solder strip 42 of the second component 402 and the third component 403 is close to the dimension of two edge batteries 111 along the first direction X. Based on the above embodiments, optionally, refer to Figure 1Two adjacent battery strings 10 along the second direction Y are connected in series through a membrane busbar assembly 40, and two adjacent battery strings 10 along the first direction X are connected in parallel through a membrane busbar assembly 40.

[0097] Specifically, along the second direction Y, every two adjacent battery strings 10 are connected in series through a membrane busbar assembly 40, and then connected in parallel through membrane busbar assemblies 40 disposed between adjacent battery strings 10.
