Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of batteries, in particular to a main-gridless solar cell. Background Art

[0002] At present, the metal electrode patterns of mainstream photovoltaic solar cells all have the design of main grids and sub-grids. One of the functions of the main grid is to firmly connect with the solder tape during the series soldering of components, thereby enhancing the reliability of the components. The metal electrode pattern of the existing main-gridless solar cell is modified based on the pattern of the main-grid cell, that is, the main-grid design is removed, and other designs are retained, such as Figure 1 As shown, the existing metal electrode pattern of the main-gridless cell only has the sub-grid design, and the printing width of the sub-grid lines is usually 20-30um. During the series soldering and interconnection process at the component end, there is a great risk of poor contact between the solder tape and the sub-grid lines, resulting in virtual soldering or desoldering phenomena, which are shown as shadows in the EL test image. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to design a main-gridless solar cell to solve the above problems.

[0004] The utility model realizes the above purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A main-gridless solar cell includes a cell and multiple groups of sub-grids, and also includes multiple groups of contact points. The multiple groups of contact points and the multiple groups of sub-grids are arranged along the first direction of the cell. One group of contact points is located between adjacent two groups of sub-grids. One group of contact points includes multiple contact points. The multiple contact points of the same group of contact points are arranged along the second direction of the cell. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are in the same plane.

[0006] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that contact points are added between the sub-grids. Since the size area of the contact points is much larger than that of the sub-grids, during the series soldering process of the components, the solder tape will mainly be interconnected with the contact points, thus avoiding the risks of virtual soldering and desoldering of the solder tape.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown in [figures not provided], a main-gridless solar cell includes a cell 1 and multiple sets of sub-grids 2, and also includes multiple sets of contact points 3. The multiple sets of contact points 3 and the multiple sets of sub-grids 2 are arranged along a first direction of the cell 1. One set of contact points 3 is located between two adjacent sets of sub-grids 2. One set of contact points 3 includes multiple contact points 3. The multiple contact points 3 of the same set of contact points 3 are arranged along a second direction of the cell 1. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first direction and the second direction are in the same plane.

[0021] The contact point 3 is of a rectangular structure.

[0022] The length of the contact point 3 is 1 mm and the width is 0.5 mm.

[0023] One set of sub-grids 2 includes multiple rows of sub-grids 2.

[0024] For the multiple rows of sub-grids 2 in one set of sub-grids 2, along the direction of the sub-grid 2, that is, Figure 2 in one set of sub-grids, the width of the sub-grid gradually becomes wider and then narrower from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

[0025] The width of the sub-grid 2 gradually changes from 25 μm to 60 μm and then narrows to 25 μm. The length of the sub-grid 2 is 1.2 mm.

[0026] The working principle of the main-gridless solar cell of the present utility model is as follows:

[0027] The sub-grid 2 is consistent with the existing pattern

[0028] The contact point 3 is rectangular, with dimensions of length 1 mm * width 0.5 mm, and there are 60 in total.

[0029] Gradually thickened, the sub-grid 2 with a width of 25 μm gradually widens to 60 μm and has a length of 1.2 mm. The number of this design is determined by the number of sub-grids 2, and usually the number is 2000 - 5000.

[0030] The cell 1 of the present utility model is increased with contact points 3, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, since the size and area of the contact point 3 are much larger than those of the sub-grid 2, during the component string soldering process, the solder tape will mainly be interconnected with the contact point 3, thus avoiding the risks of solder tape virtual soldering and desoldering.

[0031] The sub-grid 2 of the present utility model is increased with a gradually thickened design, as shown in Figure 4As shown, in the area where the auxiliary grid 2 is in interconnected contact with the solder strip, a gradually increasing and thickening design is added, which increases the welding contact area between the solder strip and the auxiliary grid 2. On the one hand, it reduces the risk of poor soldering, and on the other hand, it also reduces the risk of the solder strip fusing the auxiliary grid 2 during the high-temperature lamination process of the module, ultimately increasing the proportion of qualified EL products of the module.

[0032] The design of the present utility model can be applied to the front or back of a solar cell.

[0033] The technical solution of the present utility model is not limited to the limitations of the above specific embodiments. Any technical deformation made according to the technical solution of the present utility model falls within the protection scope of the present utility model.
