[0043] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, along the thickness direction of the cell 10, the cell 10 has a front side and a back side that are arranged opposite to each other.

[0044] The first TCO layer 20 has transparent and conductive properties. That is, the first TCO layer 20 is a transparent conductive oxide film, and sunlight can pass through the first TCO layer 20 to reach the surface of the battery cell 10. In addition, the first TCO layer 20 can collect the current generated by the battery cell 10.
[0045] In the embodiment of the utility model, the first TCO layer 20 can be formed on the back of the cell 10 by deposition. The first TCO layer 20 can be an indium tin oxide layer, an indium-doped zinc oxide layer, an aluminum-doped zinc oxide layer, or a fluorine-doped tin oxide layer. In the embodiment of the utility model, there are no excessive restrictions on the specific material of the first TCO layer 20, and in actual applications, technicians can choose according to needs.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the first auxiliary grid 30 is connected to the side of the first TCO layer 20 away from the battery cell 10, and the current collected by the first TCO layer 20 is collected by the first auxiliary grid 30. Specifically, the first auxiliary grid 30 can be set on the side of the first TCO layer 20 away from the battery cell 10 by screen printing, electroplating, laser transfer, 3D printing, coating, etc.

Wherein, in the case where the cell 10 is a rectangular cell, the first direction A is the length direction of the cell 10, and the second direction B is the width direction of the cell 10. The current collected by the first TCO layer 20 is collected by the plurality of first auxiliary grids 30 to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.
[0049] Specifically, the number of the first sub-grids 30 may be set to be greater than or equal to 40 and less than or equal to 160. For example, the number of the first sub-grids 30 is 40, 80, 120, 160, and so on.
[0050] In addition, the width of the first sub-grid 30 in the embodiment of the utility model is greater than or equal to 15 μm and less than or equal to 80 μm. For example, the width of the first sub-grid 30 is 15 μm, 30 μm, 50 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, etc.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, on the plane where the cell 10 is located, the first TCO layer 20 has a first projection on the cell 10. In the embodiment of the utility model, the area of the first projection is set to be smaller than the area of the cell 10. In other words, the first projection of the first TCO layer 20 falls into the cell 10. This improves the reliability of the cell 10 and avoids the short circuit problem of the cell 10. Further, the projection of the first auxiliary grid 30 on the cell 10 is set to fall into the first projection, so that the first auxiliary grid 30 can be connected to the first TCO layer 20, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.
[0052] The photovoltaic module disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model includes a cell 10, a first TCO layer 20 and a first auxiliary grid 30. The first TCO layer 20 is stacked on the back of the cell 10, and the first auxiliary grid 30 is connected to the side of the first TCO layer 20 away from the cell 10. On the plane where the cell 10 is located, the first TCO layer 20 has a first projection, and the area of the first projection is set to be smaller than the area of the cell 10 to improve the reliability of the cell 10 and avoid the short circuit problem of the cell 10. Furthermore, by setting the projection of the first auxiliary grid 30 on the cell 10 to fall within the first projection, the first auxiliary grid 30 can be connected to the first TCO layer 20, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.
[0053] Alternatively, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the first auxiliary grid 30 includes a plurality of first auxiliary grids 30, and the plurality of first auxiliary grids 30 extend along the first direction A and are arranged at intervals along the second direction B, and the second direction B intersects the first direction A. Along the second direction B, the battery cell 10 has a first side surface 11 and a second side surface 12 that are arranged opposite to each other; the distance between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the first side surface 11 and the first side surface 11 is L1, and the distance between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the first side surface 11 and the first side surface 11 is L2, wherein L1>L2; the distance between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side surface 12 and the second side surface 12 is L3, and the distance between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the second side surface 12 and the second side surface 12 is L4, wherein L3>L4.
[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first auxiliary grid 30 in the embodiment of the utility model includes a plurality of first auxiliary grids 30 , which all extend along the first direction A and are arranged at intervals along the second direction B to collect the current generated by the battery cell 10 through the plurality of first auxiliary grids 30 .
[0055] Among them, along the second direction B, the battery cell 10 has a first side surface 11 and a second side surface 12 that are arranged oppositely. It can be understood that, in the case where the battery cell 10 is a rectangular battery cell, the first direction A is the length direction of the battery cell 10, and the second direction B is the width direction of the battery cell 10. Along the width direction of the battery cell 10, the battery cell 10 has a first side surface 11 and a second side surface 12 that are arranged oppositely. The first auxiliary grid 30 extends along the first direction A, that is, the first auxiliary grid 30 extends along the length direction of the battery cell 10.
[0056] In the embodiment of the utility model, the distance L1 between the first grid line 30 closest to the first side surface 11 of the cell 10 and the first side surface 11 is set to be greater than the distance L2 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the first side surface 11 and the first side surface 11. In this way, the first grid line 30 closest to the first side surface 11 of the cell 10 can be connected to the first TCO layer 20, so as to improve the performance of the photovoltaic module and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.
[0057] Furthermore, the distance L3 between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side surface 12 of the solar cell 10 and the second side surface 12 is set to be greater than the distance L4 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the second side surface 12 and the second side surface 12. Thus, the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side surface 12 of the solar cell 10 can be connected to the first TCO layer 20, so as to further improve the performance of the photovoltaic module and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.
[0058] Specifically, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, L1 and L3 are both set to be greater than or equal to 0.7 mm and less than or equal to 1.1 mm; L2 and L4 are both set to be greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 0.7 mm.
[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the distance L1 between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the first side surface 11 of the battery cell 10 and the first side surface 11 and the distance L3 between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side surface 12 of the battery cell 10 and the second side surface 12 are both set to be greater than or equal to 0.7 mm and less than or equal to 1.1 mm.
[0060] For example, the distance L1 between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the first side surface 11 of the battery cell 10 and the first side surface 11 can be set to 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, etc. The distance L3 between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side surface 12 of the battery cell 10 and the second side surface 12 can also be set to 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, etc.
[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the distance L2 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the first side surface 11 and the first side surface 11 and the distance L4 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the second side surface 12 and the second side surface 12 are both set to be greater than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 0.7 mm. So that the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the first side surface 11 of the battery cell 10 and the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side surface 12 of the battery cell 10 can be connected to the first TCO layer 20, so as to further improve the performance of the photovoltaic module and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.
[0062] For example, the distance L2 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the first side surface 11 and the first side surface 11 can be set to 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, etc. The distance L4 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the second side surface 12 and the second side surface 12 can also be set to 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, etc.
[0063] Preferably, the distance L1 between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the first side 11 of the cell 10 and the first side 11 and the distance L3 between the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side 12 of the cell 10 and the second side 12 can be set to 0.75 mm, and the distance L2 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the first side 11 and the first side 11 and the distance L4 between the surface of the first TCO layer 20 close to the second side 12 and the second side 12 can be set to 0.5 mm. In this way, when the first TCO layer 20 is offset, the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the first side 11 of the cell 10 and the first auxiliary grid 30 closest to the second side 12 of the cell 10 can still overlap the first TCO layer 20, thereby ensuring good contact between the first auxiliary grid 30 and the first TCO layer 20.
[0064] Alternatively, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the photovoltaic module in the embodiment of the utility model further includes a second TCO layer 40 and a second auxiliary grid 50, wherein the second TCO layer 40 is stacked on the front side of the battery cell 10, and the second auxiliary grid 50 is connected to the side of the second TCO layer 40 away from the battery cell 10; on the plane where the battery cell 10 is located, the second TCO layer 40 has a second projection on the battery cell 10, and the area of the second projection is equal to the area of the battery cell 10.

[0066] The second TCO layer 40 has transparent and conductive properties. That is, the second TCO layer 40 is the same as the first TCO layer 20, and is a transparent conductive oxide film. Sunlight can pass through the second TCO layer 40 and irradiate the surface of the cell 10. In addition, the second TCO layer 40 can also collect the current generated by the cell 10.
[0067] In the embodiment of the utility model, a deposition method can be used to form a second TCO layer 40 on the front side of the cell 10 and a first TCO layer 20 on the back side of the cell 10. During the deposition process, a mask is used to cover part of the back side of the cell 10, while the front side of the cell 10 does not need to be covered.
[0068] The second TCO layer 40 may be an indium tin oxide layer, an indium-doped zinc oxide layer, an aluminum-doped zinc oxide layer, or a fluorine-doped tin oxide layer. In the embodiment of the utility model, there are no excessive restrictions on the specific material of the second TCO layer 40, and in actual applications, technicians can select it according to needs.
[0069] In addition, along the thickness direction of the cell 10, the thickness of the second TCO layer 40 is greater than or equal to 50nm and less than or equal to 180nm. Specifically, the thickness of the second TCO layer 40 can be 50nm, 70nm, 90nm, 110nm, 130nm, 150nm, 170nm, etc.

Specifically, the second auxiliary grid 50 can be disposed on the side of the second TCO layer 40 away from the battery cell 10 by screen printing, electroplating, laser transfer, 3D printing, coating, etc.
[0071] It should be noted that the second auxiliary grid 50 in the embodiment of the utility model includes a plurality of second auxiliary grids 50, and the plurality of second auxiliary grids 50 extend along the first direction A and are arranged at intervals along the second direction B. Wherein, in the case where the battery cell 10 is a rectangular battery cell, the first direction A is the length direction of the battery cell 10, and the second direction B is the width direction of the battery cell 10. The current collected by the second TCO layer 40 is collected by the plurality of second auxiliary grids 50 to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.
[0072] Specifically, the number of the second sub-grids 50 may be set to be greater than or equal to 40 and less than or equal to 160. For example, the number of the second sub-grids 30 is 40, 80, 120, 160, and so on.
[0073] In addition, the width of the second sub-grid 30 in the embodiment of the utility model is greater than or equal to 15 μm and less than or equal to 80 μm. For example, the width of the second sub-grid 30 is 15 μm, 25 μm, 40 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, 80 μm, etc.
[0074] On the plane where the cell 10 is located, the second TCO layer 40 has a second projection on the cell 10. In the embodiment of the utility model, the area of the second projection is set to be equal to the area of the cell 10. The current generated on the front side of the cell 10 is collected by the second TCO layer 40, thereby further improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module.

The current collected by the first TCO layer 20 or the second TCO layer 40 is collected by the plurality of busbars 60 to improve the current collection efficiency.
[0077] Specifically, the plurality of main grids 60 may be disposed on a side of the first TCO layer 20 or the second TCO layer 40 away from the battery cell 10 by screen printing, electroplating, laser transfer, 3D printing, coating, or the like.

The plurality of main grids 60 extend along the second direction B, and are arranged at intervals along the first direction A. That is, the plurality of main grids 60 extend along the width direction of the battery cell 10, and are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the battery cell 10.
[0079] Alternatively, if Figures 4 to 10As shown, in an embodiment of the utility model, along the first direction A, the battery cell 10 has a third side surface 13 and a fourth side surface 14 arranged opposite to each other, and the distance between two adjacent main grids 60 is equal, both are L5; the distance between the main grid 60 closest to the third side surface 13 of the battery cell 10 and the third side surface 11 is L6, wherein L6>L5; the distance between the main grid 60 closest to the fourth side surface 14 of the battery cell 10 and the fourth side surface 12 is L7, wherein L7>L5.
[0080] like Figures 4 to 10 As shown, along the first direction A, the cell 10 has a third side surface 13 and a fourth side surface 14 arranged opposite to each other. A plurality of main grids 60 are arranged at equal distances on the surface of the cell 10, and the plurality of main grids 60 extend along the second direction B and are arranged at intervals along the first direction A. The distance between two adjacent main grids 60 is L5. The distance L6 between the main grid 60 closest to the third side surface 13 of the cell 10 and the third side surface 13 is set to be greater than the distance L5 between the two adjacent main grids 60, and the distance L7 between the main grid 60 closest to the fourth side surface 14 of the cell 10 and the fourth side surface 14 is set to be greater than the distance L5 between the two adjacent main grids 60. As a result, the main grid 60 closest to another adjacent cell 10 on one cell 10 is spaced larger than the main grid 60 closest to the cell 10 of another adjacent cell 10, thereby reducing the risk of leakage of the photovoltaic module.
[0081] Preferably, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the main grid 60 in the embodiment of the present utility model includes 18 bars, L5 is equal to 9.5 mm, and L6 and L7 are equal to 10.35 mm.
[0082] It should be noted that the battery cell 10 in the embodiment of the utility model is a rectangular structure, and the length of the battery cell 10 is 182.2 mm and the width is 95.8 mm. The first direction A is the length direction of the battery cell 10, and the second direction B is the width direction of the battery cell 10.
[0083] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the main grid 60 in the embodiment of the utility model includes 18 bars, the distance L5 between two adjacent main grids 60 is 9.5 mm, the distance L6 between the main grid 60 closest to the third side 13 of the cell 10 and the third side 13 is 10.35 mm, and the distance L7 between the main grid 60 closest to the fourth side 14 of the cell 10 and the fourth side 14 is 10.35 mm. Thus, the distance L6 between the main grid 60 closest to the third side 13 of the cell 10 and the third side 13 is increased, and the distance L7 between the main grid 60 closest to the fourth side 14 of the cell 10 and the fourth side 14 is increased, so as to reduce the risk of leakage of the photovoltaic module.
[0084] It should be noted that the above setting of 18 main grids 60, L5 equal to 9.5 mm, L6 and L7 equal to 10.35 mm is only an individual example of the embodiment of the utility model, and is not a limitation of the utility model. In actual applications, technicians can set the number of main grids 60 and the gap between two adjacent main grids 60 as needed.
[0085] Alternatively, if Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the battery cells 10 in the embodiment of the utility model include a plurality of battery cells 10, and the plurality of battery cells 10 are arranged at intervals, and a first gap L8 is provided between two adjacent battery cells 10, wherein L8+L6+L7>2*L5.
[0086] like Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the photovoltaic module generally includes a plurality of cells 10, which are arranged at intervals along a first direction A, and two adjacent cells 10 are connected in series via welding rods. A first gap L8 is formed between two adjacent cells 10.
[0087] The sum of the first gap L8 between two adjacent cells 10, the distance L6 between the main grid 60 closest to the third side 13 of the cell 10 and the third side 13, and the distance L7 between the main grid 60 closest to the fourth side 14 of the cell 10 and the fourth side 14 is greater than twice the distance L5 between two adjacent main grids 60, so as to enhance the reliability of the photovoltaic module and reduce the risk of leakage of the photovoltaic module.
[0088] Optionally, the battery cell 10 in the embodiment of the present invention includes a heterojunction battery cell.
[0089] Since heterojunction cells have the characteristics of high conversion efficiency, low temperature coefficient, no light-induced degradation, low process temperature, etc. Therefore, the cell 10 in the embodiment of the utility model can be a heterojunction cell.
[0090] Of course, the above method of setting the cell 10 as a heterojunction cell is only an individual example of the present invention and is not intended to be a limitation of the present invention. In actual applications, technicians can also select appropriate cells for use in the photovoltaic module disclosed in the present invention as needed.
[0091] The photovoltaic module disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model includes a battery cell, a first TCO layer and a first auxiliary grid, wherein the first TCO layer is stacked on the back of the battery cell, and the first auxiliary grid is connected to the side of the first TCO layer away from the battery cell. On the plane where the battery cell is located, the first TCO layer has a first projection, and the area of the first projection is set to be smaller than the area of the battery cell to improve the reliability of the battery cell and avoid short circuit problems in the battery cell. Furthermore, by setting the projection of the first auxiliary grid on the battery cell to fall within the first projection, so that the first auxiliary grid can be connected to the first TCO layer, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module is improved.
