Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic power generation glass technology, specifically, it relates to a thin-film power generation glass that supports communication signal transmission and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Photovoltaic glass is widely used on building surfaces, effectively reducing building carbon emissions and greatly supporting the achievement of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals. Under the dual-carbon context, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is an inevitable path to achieving zero-carbon buildings. However, photovoltaic glass, a key material in BIPV, significantly shields wireless communication signals. In today's era of booming 5G and the imminent arrival of 6G communication, this will greatly impact quality of life and daily work. How to solve the interference of photovoltaic glass on wireless communication signals has become a critical issue that must be addressed in the information age under the dual-carbon context.
[0003] Photovoltaic power-generating glass is made by attaching photovoltaic thin-film power-generating modules, such as cadmium telluride thin-film modules or copper indium gallium selenide thin-film modules, onto a glass substrate. However, the power generation layer and electrode layer of the thin-film module can hinder the propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic signals. Currently, there is no technology that integrates wireless communication signal transmission characteristics into photovoltaic power-generating glass. Current technologies that combine transparent glass substrates with electromagnetic signal transmission characteristics do not have power generation capabilities, and electromagnetic devices integrating photovoltaic thin films and communication antennas cannot achieve wireless communication signal transmission, making them unsuitable for transparent windows and surfaces in applications such as buildings and automobiles.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies still need to be improved and developed. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] A type of thin-film photovoltaic glass that supports communication signal transmission, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base glass and a power generation functional layer disposed on the base glass. The power generation functional layer is provided with signal anti-reflection unit slots 1 that are distributed in a two-dimensional periodic array and penetrate the power generation functional layer. The signal anti-reflection unit slot 1 is centrally symmetrical. The signal anti-reflection unit slot 1 includes two straight slots 1-1 that intersect perpendicularly at their centers. Each straight slot 1-1 has a spiral slot 1-2 at both ends that rotates from the outside inward and has the same width as the straight slot 1-1.
[0038] This embodiment provides signal anti-reflection unit slots arranged in a two-dimensional periodic array on the power generation functional layer, which penetrate the power generation functional layer. This ensures basic power generation efficiency while achieving dual-polarization transmission for Sub-6GHz band communication (frequency from 4GHz to 5GHz) and millimeter-wave band communication (frequency from 22GHz to 25GHz).
[0039] In some embodiments, the area of the signal antireflection unit groove 1 as a percentage of the total area of the power generation functional layer is the area etching ratio, denoted as A, where A ≤ 50%. Because the etching groove structure directly prevents the etched portion from generating electricity, A ≤ 50% is required to ensure the basic power generation function of the power generation glass behind the etching groove structure.
[0040] It should be noted that the length of the straight groove 1-1 is l0, the width of the straight groove 1-1 is denoted as 2w, and the half width of the straight groove 1-1 is w. The so-called half width is half of the width.

The cyclone straight segments are arranged perpendicular to the cyclone forward direction of the preceding cyclone straight segment, and the two are connected by cyclone arc segments. The number of bends and cyclones in the cyclone groove 1-2 can be adjusted according to the target frequency band for enhanced signal transmission. When the number of bends and cyclones in the cyclone groove 1-2 is n, the cyclone groove 1-2 contains n cyclone arc segments and n cyclone straight segments, where the order of the cyclone straight segments is set according to the connection order. For example, the first cyclone straight segment is the 1st cyclone straight segment with a length of l1, the nth cyclone straight segment is the nth cyclone straight segment with a length of l n .
[0046] In one implementation, the target frequency band for enhancing communication signal transmission is the millimeter-wave band (frequency from 22 GHz to 25 GHz). The spacing D between two adjacent signal anti-reflection unit slots 1 is between 0.6mm and 1.5mm, i.e. 0.6mm≤D≤1.5mm; Preferably, n is 3; Preferably, the length l0 of the straight groove 1-1 is between 0.2 mm and 0.55 mm; the half width w of the straight groove 1-1 is between 0.02 and 0.06 mm.

[0050] It should be noted that the values of all geometric parameters, including D, l0, l1, l2, l3, w, and p, must be selected according to specific communication requirements and power generation efficiency, while also meeting the shape constraints of the gyro groove pattern and not disrupting the overall geometry.
[0051] In one implementation, the target frequency band for enhancing communication signal transmission is a dual-band band comprising a Sub-6GHz band (frequency from 4GHz to 5GHz) and a millimeter-wave band (frequency from 24GHz to 25GHz). The spacing D between two adjacent signal anti-reflection unit slots 1 is between 2mm and 6mm, that is, 2mm≤D≤6mm; Preferably, n is 6; The length l0 of the straight groove 1-1 is between 0.1 mm and 2.8 mm; the half width w of the straight groove 1-1 is between 0.03 and 0.12 mm.
