Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic equipment, and more specifically, to a solar panel. Background Art

[0002] The core component of a solar cell is a photovoltaic module. With the update and iteration of products, in order to better collect current and achieve higher module power during the module manufacturing process, multi-grid cells are selected for the string soldering process of photovoltaic modules. However, during this process conversion, the following problems are likely to occur: for products of the same size, when the cell size increases, the string pitch decreases or even becomes a negative pitch. When the weight per square meter of the encapsulant film remains the same or is used at a low weight, there is a height difference between the cell and the solder ribbon. During the lamination process, stress is released, resulting in an obvious increase in hidden cracks at the edges of the solder ribbon and the cell. The increase in hidden cracks during module manufacturing will seriously affect a series of problems such as the service life and reliability of the module. Summary of the Utility Model

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] Combined with Figures 1 - 2 , a solar panel of this embodiment includes a plurality of battery cells 1, and the plurality of battery cells 1 are connected to each other in pairs to form a battery panel. In this embodiment, the battery cell 1 includes a first battery cell 11 and a second battery cell 12 connected together, where the first battery cell 11 represents the previous battery cell 1 and the second battery cell 12 represents the next battery cell 1, which does not mean that the battery panel is only composed of two battery cells 1. In this embodiment, the ends of the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12 overlap to form a connection point. A glue film 2 is coated on both sides of the battery panel. At the connection of the two battery cells 1, the thickness of the glue film 2 is greater than that at other positions. In this embodiment, the glue film 2 can be selected from a variety of materials such as EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), POE (ethylene-α-olefin copolymer), EPE (combination of EVA and POE), etc.

[0033] Combined with Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the glue film 2 includes a sheet body part 22 and a thickened part 21, and the thickened part 21 separates the sheet body part 22. The thickened part 21 is located at the connection of the two battery cells 1, and the sheet body part 22 is located at the sheet body of the battery cell 1. The thickened part 21 of this embodiment protrudes outward from the battery cell 1, and the thickened part 21 is flush with the sheet body part 22 on the side in contact with the battery cell 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12 are connected by welding. Specifically, a welding tape 3 is provided between the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12, and the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12 are welded together through the welding tape 3. At the same time, the connection point of the first battery cell 11 and the second battery cell 12 is located at the midpoint of the thickened part 21 of the glue film 2. The distance between the thickened part 21 and the battery cell 1 is centered and aligned. When the battery cells 1 are connected to form a battery panel in this embodiment, the glue film 2 is thickened at the connection of the battery cells 1, so as to eliminate the problem of uneven stress caused by the height difference of the battery cells 1. After lamination, the connection part of the battery cells 1 will not cause hidden cracks due to stress, so the battery panel is optimized without increasing the gram weight of the glue film 2, and the performance of the component is improved.

[0035] Embodiment 2

[0036] Combined with Figure 4 , the solar panel of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that the thickened part 21 protrudes towards the side of the battery cell 1, and the thickened part 21 is flush with the sheet body part 22 on the side that does not contact the battery cell 1.

[0037] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive.
