[0040] In the present invention, descriptions such as "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes, and do not particularly refer to the order or sequence. Nor are they used to limit the present invention. They are only used to distinguish components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.
[0041] An organic solar cell module, comprising: a substrate 101, an organic solar cell module, a first electrode extraction part 1, a second electrode extraction part 2, and a packaging layer 105;
[0042] The organic solar cell module is located above the substrate 101; the organic solar cell module includes n organic solar cell units connected in series, and each organic solar cell unit includes a lower electrode layer 102, an upper electrode layer 104, and a photoelectric conversion layer 103 located between the lower electrode layer 102 and the upper electrode layer 104.

However, it should be noted that the first electrode extraction part 1 and the second electrode extraction part 2 are two parts and are not connected. For example, when the electrode corresponding to the first electrode extraction part 1 is the cathode, the electrode corresponding to the second electrode extraction part 2 is the anode. Similarly, when the electrode corresponding to the first electrode extraction part 1 is the anode, the electrode corresponding to the second electrode extraction part 2 is the cathode.
[0048] Furthermore, the first organic solar cell unit and the nth organic solar cell unit are respectively located on the outermost sides of the organic solar module along the series connection direction.

The "insulating channel P1" divides the lower electrode layer 102 into multiple lower electrode layer units, such that the multiple lower electrode layer units are disconnected and not connected to each other. The function of the "insulating channel P1" is to divide the lower electrode layer into multiple independent lower electrode layer units so that they are not electrically conductive to each other.
[0055] The "connection channel P2" divides the optoelectronic conversion layer 103 into multiple optoelectronic conversion layer 103 units, such that the multiple optoelectronic conversion layers 103 are disconnected and not connected to each other. The function of the "connection channel P2" is to establish an electrode connection channel between adjacent two organic solar cell units. The upper electrode layer of the second organic solar cell unit is connected to the lower electrode layer of the first organic solar cell unit through the "connection channel P2" to form a conductive circuit.
[0056] The "partition channel P3" divides the upper electrode layer 104 into multiple upper electrode layer units, such that the multiple upper electrode layer units are disconnected and not connected to each other.

Further, the two disconnection channels P4 are located on opposite sides of the organic solar cell module, and the disconnection channels P4 are located above the substrate 101 (i.e., at the upper surface of the substrate 101). Furthermore, the two disconnection channels P4 are perpendicular to the direction of the channel assembly, that is, perpendicular to the insulating channel P1, the connection channel P2, and the partition channel P3, and the disconnection channels P4 penetrate through the first electrode extraction portion 1 located on the substrate 101 until the substrate 101.

The substrate 101, the first electrode extraction portion 1, the second electrode extraction portion 2, the sealant layer 110, and the upper cover plate 109 form a sealed space, and the organic solar cell module is located in the sealed space. Thus, the organic solar cell module is encapsulated.

[0095] The preparation method of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but not limited thereto.
[0096] Example 1:
[0097] As Figure 1-7As shown, for the organic solar cell module of the present application, the preparation method includes the following steps:
[0098] S1. A transparent ITO bottom electrode layer 102 is prepared on a glass substrate 101, and an insulating channel P1 is etched on the bottom electrode by 20 - nanosecond green light. Then, a first charge transport layer 106, a photoactive layer 107, and a second charge transport layer 108, namely a photoelectric conversion layer 103 (see Figure 7 ) are sequentially prepared by slot coating, and a connection channel P2 is etched by green nanosecond laser.
[0099] S2. Then, by laser etching, the bottom electrode layer 102 and the photoelectric conversion layer 103 of the organic solar cell module on both the upper and lower sides of the substrate 101, which are 5 mm away from the edge and 5 mm away from the left edge and 10 mm away from the right edge, are removed, so as to leave a first electrode extraction part 1, a second electrode extraction part 2, and a sealing position around the substrate 101 (see Figure 1 ).
[0100] S3. Subsequently, the upper metal silver electrode layer 104, the first electrode lead - out part 1, and the second electrode extraction part 2 are simultaneously prepared by vacuum evaporation. The silver layer covers the entire device (that is, the silver layer not only covers the organic solar cell module but also covers the positions around the substrate 101 where there is no organic solar cell module). A partition channel P3 is etched on the upper electrode by green nano - laser, and at the same time, a disconnection channel P4 is etched by 20 - nanosecond green light to complete the preparation of the organic solar cell module to be encapsulated, the first electrode lead - out part 1, and the second electrode extraction part 2.
[0101] S4. When encapsulating the organic solar cell module, the upper cover plate 109 is placed on the platform. The upper cover plate 109 is a transparent glass, and its length along the series connection direction of the organic solar cell module is 2.5 mm shorter than that of the substrate glass, so that the end part of the lead - out electrode is exposed, and the other dimensions are the same as those of the lower encapsulation layer 105. UV - curable glue is coated on the upper cover plate 109 by dot - coating, and the UV - curable glue is spaced 2 mm from the edge of the upper cover plate 109 to prevent the overflow of the encapsulation glue during the lamination process. Subsequently, the organic solar cell module to be encapsulated is placed face - down and aligned with the upper cover plate, and part of the end 11 of the first electrode extraction part 1 and the end 21 of the second electrode extraction part are exposed. A certain pressure is applied on the upper cover plate to tightly bond the upper and lower encapsulation layers 105 and the UV encapsulation glue together, and the UV encapsulation glue is cured by irradiating with a 365 - nm ultraviolet light source with an energy of 6 J / cm2 for 70 s, thereby obtaining the encapsulation structure as shown in Figure 2 .
[0102] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of patent protection of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
