Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of photovoltaics, and particularly relates to a curved photovoltaic module with high power generation. Background Art
[0002] Solar energy is a renewable and clean energy source that is not restricted by geography. In recent years, with the development of photovoltaic technology, the cost of photovoltaic power generation has decreased rapidly. Photovoltaic power generation technology has been used in a wider range, and the combination of photovoltaics and buildings has also become one of the fields of photovoltaic applications.
[0003] Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a technology that integrates photovoltaic products into buildings. The photovoltaic power generation device is used as an inseparable building component of the building, replacing some building materials. With the continuous development of building integrated photovoltaics, the demand for curved photovoltaic modules is also increasing day by day.
[0004] Because the surface of the curved photovoltaic module is curved, the light intensity received by the solar cells at different positions is different under light, which leads to current mismatch. Moreover, affected by the incident light angle, the battery cells in the wave peak area will block the battery cells in the wave trough area during some time periods, resulting in the hot spot effect, which seriously affects the normal operation of the battery and the overall performance of the system. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a curved photovoltaic module with high power generation to solve the technical problem that the battery cells in the wave peak area will block the battery cells in the wave trough area during some time periods, resulting in the hot spot effect, which seriously affects the normal operation of the battery and the overall performance of the system. The manufacturing process is simple, and it can reduce the influence of current mismatch and occlusion, so as to achieve the purpose of improving power generation.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a curved photovoltaic module with high power generation, which includes the following components that are fully bonded in sequence:
[0007] A front curved panel, a front encapsulant layer, a power generation unit layer, a rear encapsulant layer, and a rear curved panel. The front curved panel, the front encapsulant layer, the power generation unit layer, the rear encapsulant layer, and the rear curved panel are wavy. The wavy front curved panel, front encapsulant layer, power generation unit layer, rear encapsulant layer, and rear curved panel are divided into several wave peak areas and wave trough areas. A single wave peak area and two adjacent wave trough areas form a wavelength curved surface;
[0008] The power generation unit layer is composed of several power generation unit bodies. The several power generation unit bodies are rectangular, and the length directions of the several power generation unit bodies are perpendicular to the wavy extension direction of the front curved panel;
[0009] Diodes are connected in parallel to the power generation unit bodies located in the wave trough areas of the front curved panel.
[0010] Further, a plurality of the power generation unit bodies are laid along the wave extension direction of the front curved panel, and a plurality of the power generation unit bodies perpendicular to the wave extension direction of the front curved panel are connected in series to form a power generation unit strip, and a plurality of the power generation unit strips are laid side by side between the front curved panel and the rear curved panel;
[0011] Within one curved surface period, the power generation unit strip is connected in parallel with the adjacent power generation unit strip.
[0012] Further, adjacent power generation unit layers are connected in parallel or in series.
[0013] Further, the diode adopts a planar diode, and the number of the planar diodes is the same as the number of series strings of the power generation unit strip blocked by the wave crest region.
[0014] Further, the front encapsulant layer and the rear encapsulant layer adopt one of EVA, POE or PVB.
[0015] Further, the front curved panel adopts a curved glass with a high light transmittance.
[0016] Further, the power generation unit body adopts a plurality of crystalline silicon or amorphous silicon.
[0017] Further, the length of the power generation unit body is less than half of the chord length of the front curved panel.
[0018] Further, the rear curved panel adopts one of a backsheet or glass.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0020] 1. Within one curved surface period, the power generation unit strip is connected in parallel with the adjacent power generation unit strip, which can reduce the current mismatch problem caused by different currents of the power generation unit strips at different curved surface positions.
[0021] 2. Diodes are connected in parallel at the power generation unit bodies in the trough region. When the power generation unit bodies are blocked, the diodes are turned on so that the blocked power generation unit bodies are bypassed, and it will not affect the unblocked power generation unit bodies in the same string to continue generating electricity, thereby reducing the power generation loss of the curved surface photovoltaic module caused by occlusion, and thus improving the overall power generation.

[0037] Embodiment:
[0038] Such as Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a curved photovoltaic module with high power generation includes the following components that are fully adhered in sequence: a curved front panel 1, a front encapsulant layer 2, a power generation unit layer 3, a rear encapsulant layer 4, and a curved back panel 5. The curved front panel 1, the front encapsulant layer 2, the power generation unit layer 3, the rear encapsulant layer 4, and the curved back panel 5 are wavy. The wavy curved front panel 1, the front encapsulant layer 2, the power generation unit layer 3, the rear encapsulant layer 4, and the curved back panel 5 are divided into several peak regions 7 and valley regions 8. A single peak region 7 and two adjacent valley regions 8 form a wavelength curved surface.
[0039] In this embodiment, the front encapsulant layer 2 and the rear encapsulant layer 4 are made of one of EVA, POE, or PVB. The curved front panel 1 is made of curved glass with high light transmittance. The power generation unit body 31 is made of several crystalline silicon or amorphous silicon. The length of the power generation unit body 31 is less than half of the chord length of the curved front panel 1. The curved back panel 5 is made of one of a back panel or glass.
[0040] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in the figure, the power generation unit layer 3 is composed of several power generation unit bodies 31. The several power generation unit bodies 31 are rectangular. The length direction of the several power generation unit bodies 31 is perpendicular to the wavy extension direction of the curved front panel 1. Diodes 6 are connected in parallel at the power generation unit bodies 31 located in the valley region 8 of the curved front panel 1. By connecting diodes 6 in parallel at the power generation unit bodies 31 in the valley region 8, when a power generation unit body 31 is blocked, the diode turns on, causing the blocked power generation unit body 31 to be bypassed, and it will not affect the unblocked power generation unit bodies 31 in the same string to continue generating electricity, thereby reducing the power generation loss of the curved photovoltaic module caused by occlusion.
[0041] As Figures 1 to 3 shown in the figure, several power generation unit bodies 31 are laid along the wavy extension direction of the curved front panel 1. Several of the power generation unit bodies 31 perpendicular to the wavy extension direction of the curved front panel 1 are connected in series to form a power generation unit strip 32. Several power generation unit strips 32 are laid side by side between the curved front panel 1 and the curved back panel 5. Within one curved surface period, the power generation unit strips 32 are connected in parallel with their adjacent power generation unit strips 32. Connecting adjacent strings in parallel within one curved surface can reduce the current mismatch problem caused by different currents in different position strings, thereby increasing the power generation of the curved photovoltaic module.
[0042] In this embodiment, the diode 6 is a planar diode 6, and the number of planar diodes can be determined according to the number of blocked strings of the power generation unit strips in the peak region.
[0043] In summary: By connecting adjacent power generation unit strips 32 in parallel within one curved surface period and connecting diodes 6 in parallel at the power generation unit bodies 31 in the valley region 8, the current mismatch and the influence of occlusion can be reduced, thereby increasing the power generation of the curved photovoltaic module.
