These cells are known for their excellent energy conversion efficiency and stability, making them an ideal choice for solar power generation. However, in the preparation and packaging process of busbar-less cells, especially in the low-temperature solder tape dispensing and laying step, the traditional film packaging technology has some problems.

[0003] In the process of low-temperature solder tape dispensing and laying, traditional film packaging often has problems such as EL blackening and cold solder joints due to the high fluidity of the film packaging: due to the high fluidity of traditional film, the film may flow into the tiny gap between the solder tape and the battery cell during lamination or aging, resulting in cold solder joints. Cold solder joints will seriously affect the performance and stability of the battery cell and reduce the efficiency of the battery cell.

[0027] See also Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a composite adhesive film for photovoltaic module encapsulation, which is composed of a pre-crosslinked adhesive film layer 1 and an uncrosslinked adhesive film layer 2 to form a cast co-extruded layer; the pre-crosslinked adhesive film layer 1 is an ultraviolet light catalytic crosslinking layer, and the pre-crosslinked adhesive film layer 1 has a thickness of 0.05mm-0.20mm; the uncrosslinked adhesive film layer 2 has a thickness of 0.3mm-0.60mm.

[0028] Specifically, see Figure 1 The pre-crosslinked film layer 1 is a first EVA film layer, the uncrosslinked film layer 2 is a second EVA film layer, the first EVA film layer and the second EVA film layer are integrally formed by cast co-extrusion, and the first EVA film layer and the second EVA film layer substantially become a whole after cast extrusion, wherein a photocatalyst and a thermal crosslinking agent are added to the first EVA film layer, the first EVA film layer has both ultraviolet light catalytic crosslinking function and thermal crosslinking function, the first EVA film layer is both an ultraviolet light catalytic crosslinking layer and a thermosetting film; and a thermal crosslinking agent is added to the second EVA film layer, and the second EVA film layer is a thermosetting film.

[0029] After the composite film for photovoltaic module encapsulation is co-extruded by cast film, the composite film is irradiated with 400W ultraviolet light for 1min-3min, and the pre-crosslinking degree of the first EVA film layer is 20%-60%, while there is no ultraviolet catalyst in the second EVA film layer, and the second EVA film layer is not cross-linked. When the composite film is subsequently encapsulated into a main grid-free battery cell array, the uncross-linked film layer is a buffer layer.

[0030] See Table 1, which is a performance comparison table of the composite film and the traditional film.

[0031] Table 1 Performance comparison between composite film and traditional film

[0032]

[0033] The photovoltaic module in Table 1 includes a stacked front transparent encapsulation layer 3, a composite adhesive film for photovoltaic module encapsulation described in Example 1, a busbarless cell array 4, a composite adhesive film for photovoltaic module encapsulation described in Example 1, and a back encapsulation layer 5; the pre-crosslinked adhesive film layer 1 of the composite adhesive film for photovoltaic module encapsulation contacts the busbarless cell array 4, the busbarless cell array 4 can be a busbarless TOPCon or HJT cell, the uncrosslinked adhesive film layer 2 of the composite adhesive film for photovoltaic module encapsulation contacts the front transparent encapsulation layer 3 or the back encapsulation layer 5, and the front transparent encapsulation layer 3 is glass. During encapsulation, the photovoltaic modules of Examples 1 to 6 are vacuumed at 145°C for 5 minutes and then laminated for 10 minutes, and the appearance of the cell modules obtained after lamination is observed; during the lamination process, the lamination temperature is 145°, the pre-crosslinked adhesive film layer 1 undergoes thermal crosslinking and increases its crosslinking degree to 75%-95%, and the uncrosslinked adhesive film layer 2 reaches a thermal curing crosslinking degree of 75%-95%. The photovoltaic modules of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 are assembled and laminated in the same manner.

[0034] The performance of the encapsulation films provided in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were tested. The test method was as follows: the peeling force was tested in accordance with GB / T 29848-2018. The peeling force between the pre-crosslinked film layer and the glass in Examples 1 to 6 was 80N / cm-180N / cm, which met the requirements; and the EL (electroluminescence) test after lamination was performed in accordance with IEC

[0035] The EL after TC200 is also tested according to IEC 61215&61730. The appearance of component lamination (whether there are cracks or wrinkles on the battery cell) is obtained by observation.

[0036] Through comparative tests, it was found that although comparative example 1 also used a pre-cross-linked adhesive film layer and a non-cross-linked adhesive film layer, comparative example 1 was formed by independently forming two layers and then compounding them, which was prone to bubbles and stratification; comparative example 2 had EL cold soldering after lamination, and the EL turned black after TC200; comparative example 3 had EL blackening after TC200 and the battery cell was cracked; comparative example 4 had EL cold soldering after lamination, and the EL turned black after TC200. Through comparison, it was found that after the composite adhesive films of embodiments 1 to 6 were applied to photovoltaic modules, the EL did not have cold soldering after lamination, and the EL did not turn black after TC200, and there were no cracks or wrinkles on the battery cell. At the same time, the peeling strength between the composite adhesive film and the glass met the requirements.
