In addition, the use of the white glaze coating also increases the cost of the glass plate.

The incident light can be reflected by the reflective structure 2, and the reflected light is refracted by the second glass plate 32, the high-transmittance adhesive film 34 and the first glass plate 31 and then irradiates the front of the battery cell 33, thereby improving the absorption and utilization rate of part of the sunlight on the front of the battery cell 33, which is beneficial to improving the front power of the photovoltaic module.

[0069] At the same time, the incident light between the frame body 1 and the battery cell 33 is refracted by the first glass plate 31, the high-transmittance adhesive film 34 and the second glass plate 32 in sequence and then irradiates the reflective structure 2 on the bottom plate 11. The incident light can be reflected by the reflective structure 2, and the reflected light is refracted by the second glass plate 32 and the high-transmittance adhesive film 34 and then irradiates the back side of the battery cell 33, thereby improving the absorption and utilization rate of part of the sunlight on the back side of the battery cell 33, which is beneficial to improving the back side power of the photovoltaic module.

[0070] In addition, the design of the reflective structure 2 can reduce the amount of white glaze coating on the second glass plate 32 on the back of the photovoltaic cell 3, reduce the impact of the white glaze coating on the surface stress of the second glass plate 32, thereby avoiding the breakage of the second glass plate 32, reducing the cost of the second glass plate 32, and helping to increase the service life of the photovoltaic module.
