Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of photovoltaic modules, and particularly relates to a photovoltaic module. Background Art

[0002] A solar cell module, also known as a photovoltaic module, is one of the core components of a solar power generation system. The power generation of the photovoltaic module affects the cost per kilowatt-hour of the entire power station system. The system voltage where the photovoltaic module is located has undergone multiple upgrades and changes from 600V to 1000V and then to 1500V. Currently in the market, the system voltage resistance of the photovoltaic module is 1500V. However, in the future, the increase in system voltage will be the development direction after a period of time. If the system voltage is increased to 2000V, the installed capacity of a single module string will increase by more than 30%, significantly saving equipment usage, significantly reducing the system BOS cost and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE); and effectively reducing AC and DC line losses; reducing power loss and construction and operation and maintenance costs.

[0003] A conventional photovoltaic module is formed by encapsulating and assembling solar cells with a front panel glass, an upper encapsulation film, a lower encapsulation film, a backplane / backplane glass, silicone, and a frame material, and leading out the current according to the circuit connection with a welding tape, a bus bar, and a junction box. With the increase of the system voltage, the conventional photovoltaic modules in the current market do not meet the ability to withstand a 2000V system voltage.

The horizontal section is located between the first encapsulation film and the opening-blocking insulating film, and the vertical section passes through the openings at the corresponding positions of the opening-blocking insulating film, the second encapsulation film, and the back plate in sequence.

[0022] The L-shaped conductive metal matrix forms an electrical connection with the cell, collects the current collected by the cell, and conducts it to an external circuit.
