Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module production, and specifically, to a highly reliable and self-cleaning photovoltaic module. Background Art
[0002] As the current mainstream clean energy, solar energy has been widely used in various fields. The utilization of solar energy mainly relies on photovoltaic cells as carriers. Photovoltaic cells, also known as solar photovoltaic cells, can directly convert solar light energy into electrical energy. Among them, photovoltaic modules are one of the core parts of a photovoltaic power generation system, mainly composed of photovoltaic cell sheets, interconnection bars, bus bars, photovoltaic glass, encapsulant films, backsheets, aluminum frames, junction boxes, etc.
[0003] Currently, in the encapsulation process of photovoltaic modules, the glass plate is mainly bonded and sealed on both sides of the solar cell panel through an encapsulant film, which helps to reduce the contact of the solar cell panel with air and moisture and protect the solar cell panel. In related technologies, the encapsulant film materials can be divided into two major categories: uncrosslinked and pre-crosslinked. Among them, the uncrosslinked encapsulant film has high fluidity when melted by heat during lamination, thus causing the following problems: 1. It is easy to cause the offset of the photovoltaic module array, affecting the appearance of the module, increasing the manufacturing cost, and reducing the production yield; 2. The spacing between the battery strings of the photovoltaic module is poor, affecting the appearance of the module, reducing the production yield, and increasing the manufacturing cost; 3. The edge glue amount of the photovoltaic module is extruded, and less edge glue amount may cause edge delamination of the module during outdoor use; 4. The edge glue amount of the photovoltaic module is extruded and will also overflow onto the glass surface and the backsheet surface, and the lamination glue is difficult to clean, thus affecting the production rhythm and the appearance of the module, which is particularly prominent in black modules. And the fluidity of the pre-crosslinked encapsulant film decreases, reducing the filling and sealing effect at the wire-passing holes on the glass and the encapsulant film, and unable to bond the cell sheet, backsheet, and glass plate well.
[0004] Therefore, a design of the encapsulant film structure is needed, which can not only avoid the problem that the uncrosslinked encapsulant film causes the offset of the photovoltaic module array due to its strong fluidity when melted by heat during lamination, affecting the appearance of the module, increasing the manufacturing cost, and reducing the production yield, but also avoid the problem that the pre-crosslinked encapsulant film affects the sealing performance. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a highly reliable and self-cleaning photovoltaic module, which solves the problem that in the prior art, only by bonding the cell sheet and the glass plate and the backsheet through an uncrosslinked film, when the uncrosslinked encapsulant film is melted by heat during lamination, due to its strong fluidity, it causes the offset of the photovoltaic module array, affecting the appearance of the module, increasing the manufacturing cost, and reducing the production yield.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a highly reliable and self-cleaning photovoltaic module, which includes solar cells, and a glass plate and a back plate adhesively bonded to both sides of the solar cells through adhesive films respectively. At least an uncured adhesive film and a pre-cured adhesive film are provided between the solar cells and the glass plate and / or between the solar cells and the back plate. The uncured adhesive film covers the middle part of the solar cells and extends to a preset distance from the four edges of the solar cells. The pre-cured adhesive film covers the part of the corresponding side of the solar cells that is not covered by the uncured adhesive film.
[0007] Specifically, the uncured adhesive film corresponding to the solar cells is rectangular, and the distances between the four edges of the rectangular uncured adhesive film and the corresponding four edges of the solar cells are equal. Further, the pre-cured adhesive film is a hollow rectangular structure, and the uncured adhesive film fills the hollow part of the pre-cured adhesive film.
[0008] Preferably, the pre-cured adhesive film is provided between the glass plate and the solar cells, and the preset distance between the four edges of the uncured adhesive film and the four edges of the glass plate is 10 - 500 mm.
[0009] Preferably, the pre-cured adhesive film is provided between the back plate and the solar cells, and the preset distance between the four edges of the uncured adhesive film and the four edges of the back plate is 10 - 500 mm.
[0010] Preferably, the pre-cured adhesive film is provided between the glass plate and the solar cells, and between the solar cells and the back plate. The distances between the four edges of the uncured adhesive film and the four opposite edges of the glass plate and the back plate are the same. Further, the preset distance between the four edges of the uncured adhesive film and the four edges of the opposite glass plate or back plate is 10 - 500 mm.
[0011] Further, the pre-curing degree of the pre-cured adhesive film is 5% - 95%. The grammage of the pre-cured adhesive film is 10 - 1000 g. The uncured adhesive film can at least adopt one of POE, EPE, EVA, and PVB.
[0012] Adopting the technical solution provided by the utility model, compared with the existing well-known technologies, it has the following
[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Avoid the deviation of photovoltaic module array, ensure the appearance of modules, improve production yield and reduce manufacturing costs;
[0016] 2. Improve the poor spacing between photovoltaic module strings, ensure the appearance of the modules, increase production yield, and reduce manufacturing costs;
[0017] 3. Ensure that there is sufficient glue on the edge of the photovoltaic module to solve the problem of edge delamination when the module is used outdoors due to insufficient glue on the edge, and increase the reliability of the module in outdoor use;
