[0027] Embodiment
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , this embodiment provides a photovoltaic module, including a photovoltaic frame 600, a glass back plate 500, a battery cell 300 and a special-shaped photovoltaic glass. The special-shaped photovoltaic glass includes a glass body 100. The glass body 100 and the glass back plate 500 are respectively arranged on both sides of the battery cell 300. The glass back plate 500 and the battery cell 300 are both attached to the glass body 100. The glass body 100 is installed on the sunny side of the photovoltaic frame 600. The glass body 100 and the glass back plate 500 sandwich the battery cell 300 in the middle to form the main photoelectric conversion element, which can convert solar energy into electrical energy. The front and rear glass body 100 and glass back plate 500 can provide good protection for the battery cell 300, playing the functions of dust prevention and rain and snow prevention. At the same time, the glass material will not cause blockage to the battery cell 300, which is beneficial to the battery cell 300 to perform the photoelectric conversion function.
[0029] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, The special-shaped photovoltaic glass is used to be installed on the sunny side of the photovoltaic frame 600, that is, the special-shaped photovoltaic glass directly receives sunlight. The glass body 100 includes a flat part 110, and the flat part 110 plays a role in absorbing light energy. On both sides of the flat part 110, curved parts 120 are connected respectively. The curved parts 120 bend and extend towards the backlight side. The end surface of the free end of the curved part 120 is parallel to the flat part 110, so that the arc range of the curved part 120 is large enough to produce an enclosing effect and can sufficiently cover the photovoltaic frame 600. The outer curved surface of the curved part 120 is smoothly transitioned with the outer side surface of the photovoltaic frame 600, so that the edge of the curved part 120 covers the edge of the photovoltaic frame 600, and water accumulation, dust, etc. directly slide down from the outer side surface of the curved part 120 and will not enter the gap between the curved part 120 and the photovoltaic frame 600, which is convenient for cleaning and drainage.
[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 , a shielding layer 130 is provided on the inner side surface of the curved part 120. The shielding layer 130 can shield the overflow of the colloid during the lamination of the photovoltaic module, reducing the burden on the edge trimming process. The shielding layer 130 is completely attached to the inner side surface of the curved part 120, which can avoid generating a gap between the shielding layer 130 and the inner side of the curved part 120 and prevent the colloid from contaminating the inner side of the curved part 120. Specifically, the structure adopted by the shielding layer 130 is a screen printing coating. The screen printing coating can adapt to the curved surface environment and is not restricted by the shape and size of the curved part 120. In addition, the screen printing coating has good light resistance performance and can overcome the influence of temperature and sunlight, being suitable for outdoor environments. The screen printing coating adopts the same color as the photovoltaic frame 600 to improve the aesthetics of the photovoltaic module.
[0031] In this embodiment, please continue to refer to Figure 1 , the sizes of the battery chip 300 and the glass backplane 500 are not larger than the size of the flat part 110, which can make the ranges of the battery chip 300 and the glass backplane 500 not exceed the range of the flat part 110, avoiding the contact between the battery chip 300, the glass backplane 500 and the curved part 120 and reducing the lamination difficulty. A first adhesive film 200 is provided between the glass body 100 and the battery chip 300, and a second adhesive film 400 is provided between the battery chip 300 and the glass backplane 500. The first adhesive film 200 and the second adhesive film 400 mainly play a role in bonding the glass body 100, the battery chip 300 and the glass backplane 500. The main function is to protect the battery chip 300 and encapsulate it into a photovoltaic module that can output direct current. The POE adhesive film is adopted in this embodiment. It uses POE resin as the raw material and is used for single-piece PERC double-sided and N-type battery modules. It is widely used especially in the double-glass modules of high-efficiency batteries and has a higher water vapor barrier rate, better weather resistance performance and stronger anti-PID performance.
[0032] Furthermore, a plurality of lead holes are formed in the glass backplane 500. The solar cell 300 is connected with a bus bar lead 310, and the bus bar lead 310 passes through the lead holes. The lead holes are arranged on the glass backplane 500. With respect to the sunny side, it can be avoided that the lead holes directly contact rain, snow and dust, thereby increasing the reliability of the photovoltaic module.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a recessed retreat portion 610 is provided on the sunny side of the photovoltaic frame 600. The curved surface of the glass body 100 covers the retreat portion 610. The retreat portion 610 can provide sufficient space for the positioning and installation of the curved surface of the glass body 100. A gap groove 611 is provided in the retreat portion 610, and an adhesive is provided in the gap groove 611. The adhesive bonds the glass body 100 and the photovoltaic frame 600. The adhesive used is silica gel. The silica gel has high bonding strength, high temperature resistance, ultraviolet resistance, and good thermal stability, and is suitable for the solar light environment faced by the photovoltaic module.
