[0040] In the related art, solar cells utilize the photovoltaic effect to excite electrons by absorbing photons, and conduct these electrons to generate current through a built-in electric field.

[0041] Embodiment 1
[0042] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3, a solar cell 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application, the solar cell 100 includes a cell substrate 10, a first fine grid 20, a second fine grid 30, a busbar structure 50, and a first bending structure 60. The first fine grid 20 is disposed on the cell substrate 10 and extends along a first direction. The second fine grid 30 is disposed on the cell substrate 10. The first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30 are disposed along a second direction. The busbar structure 50 is disposed on the cell substrate 10. At least a part of the first fine grid 20 is connected to the busbar structure 50. The first bending structure 60 connects the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50. The first bending structure 60 extends along the first direction and is at least partially bent toward the second direction. The width of the contact portion between the busbar structure 50 and the first bending structure 60 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction.
[0043] In the solar cell 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the solar cell 100 includes a cell substrate 10, a first fine grid 20, a second fine grid 30, a busbar structure 50, and a first bending structure 60. The first fine grid 20 is disposed on the cell substrate 10 and extends along a first direction. The second fine grid 30 is disposed on the cell substrate 10. The first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30 are disposed along a second direction. The busbar structure 50 is disposed on the cell substrate 10. At least a part of the first fine grid 20 is connected to the busbar structure 50. The first bending structure 60 connects the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50. The first bending structure 60 extends along the first direction and is at least partially bent toward the second direction. The width of the contact portion between the busbar structure 50 and the first bending structure 60 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction. Thus, the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 are connected by the first bending structure 60, so that the busbar structure 50 has a certain movement margin on the plane of the cell substrate 10. The first bending structure 60 can elastically change when the solder strip is connected to the busbar structure 50 to ensure stable connection. At the same time, the width of the contact portion between the first bending structure 60 and the busbar structure 50 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction, further improving the connection stability and avoiding stress concentration from breaking the first fine grid 20.
[0044] Specifically, the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 are connected by the first bending structure 60, so that the busbar structure 50 has a certain movement margin on the plane of the cell substrate 10. That is to say, when the busbar structure 50 moves slightly relative to the cell substrate 10, it can pull the first bending structure 60 to elastically change and move slightly to avoid breaking the connection between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 during the process preparation, thereby improving the connection stability.
[0045] Further, in the second direction, the width of the bus bar structure 50 is greater than the widths of the first bending structure 60 and the first fine grid 20. Since the first bending structure 60 bends downward in the second direction relative to the first fine grid 20, that is to say, the first bending structure 60 has a certain slope relative to the first fine grid 20. In this way, the width of the contact portion between the bus bar structure 50 and the first bending structure 60 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction. The first bending structure 60 and the bus bar structure 50 have a larger connection area, which can improve the connection stability between the first bending structure 60 and the bus bar structure 50, eliminate the problem of stress concentration, and avoid the first fine grid 20 being broken by stress concentration.
[0046] It can be understood that when the first fine grid 20, the bus bar structure 50, and the first bending structure 60 are arranged on the battery substrate 10, the relative positions of the first fine grid 20, the bus bar structure 50, and the first bending structure 60 and the battery substrate 10 do not change. However, during the connection process between the bus bar structure 50 and the solder strip, stress concentration often occurs, causing a relative movement tendency of the bus bar structure 50 relative to the first fine grid 20. At this time, at least part of the first bending structure 60 has a slope with the first fine grid 20 and is connected to the bus bar structure 50, and can move slightly with the bus bar structure 50. In this way, the slight movement distance of the first bending structure 60 relative to the battery substrate 10 is very small, and the problem of stress concentration can be eliminated. At the same time, the first bending structure 60 and the bus bar structure 50 have a larger connection area, which can effectively reduce the tensile pressure and further avoid the problem of stress concentration.
[0047] Furthermore, during the welding and lamination processes of the battery substrate 10, the first bending structure 60 effectively disperses stress, reduces the risk of fine grid fracture, thereby improving the overall reliability and service life of the solar cell 100. It not only improves the mechanical performance of the solar cell 100, but also improves the electrical performance of the solar cell 100, ensuring higher power generation efficiency and longer service life.
[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the polarities of the first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30 are not limited, and the polarities of the first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30 are opposite to each other to meet different requirements. Exemplarily, the first fine grid 20 is a positive grid line, the second fine grid 30 is a negative grid line, the first fine grid 20 can be connected to the bus bar structure 50, and the bus bar structure 50 can be connected to the solder strip to connect to an external load, thereby realizing the power generation operation. The solder strip can be connected to multiple bus bar structures 50, thereby converging the currents of multiple first fine grids 20. Of course, it can also be that the first fine grid 20 is a negative grid line and the second fine grid 30 is a positive grid line.
[0049] It can be understood that the "first" and "second" in the first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30 are relative concepts, indicating that the two grid lines are different.
[0050] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the specific material type of the first bending structure 60 is not limited to meet different requirements. In one example, the first bending structure 60 may be a part of the busbar structure 50. That is to say, when the busbar structure 50 is prepared on the battery substrate 10, the first bending structure 60 is prepared at the same time, and the first bending structure 60 is made of the same material as the busbar structure 50. When the busbar structure 50 is solder paste, the first bending structure 60 can be made of solder paste, further increasing the connection stability between the first bending structure 60 and the busbar structure 50. In another example, the first bending structure 60 may be a part of the first fine grid 20. That is to say, when the first fine grid 20 is prepared on the battery substrate 10, the first bending structure 60 is prepared at the same time, and the first bending structure 60 is made of the same material as the first fine grid 20.
[0051] In this embodiment, the solar cell 100 may be a main-gridless cell. The fine grid directly conducts the current to the solder strip through the busbar structure 50, and the solder strip conducts the current to an external load to perform the power generation operation.
[0052] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the corresponding relationship between the first fine grid 20 and the first bending structure 60 is not limited. For example, some of the first fine grids 20 are not connected to the busbar structure 50, so the first bending structure 60 is not provided at the end of this part of the first fine grid 20 to meet different requirements.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first bending structure 60 may be selectively provided at the ends of some of the first fine grids 20, and the first bending structure 60 is not provided at the ends of the other part of the first fine grids 20. In other embodiments, the first bending structure 60 may be provided at one end of the first fine grid 20, and not provided at the other end. In still other embodiments, the first bending structure 60 may be provided at both ends of all of the first fine grids 20.
[0054] Embodiment 2
[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, in some alternative embodiments, the maximum bending distance of the first bending structure 60 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction is 100 μm - 400 μm. For example, the maximum bending distance of the first bending structure 60 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction can be 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, 170 μm, 180 μm, 190 μm, 200 μm, 210 μm, 220 μm, 230 μm, 240 μm, 250 μm, 260 μm, 270 μm, 280 μm, 290 μm, 300 μm, 310 μm, 320 μm, 330 μm, 340 μm, 350 μm, 360 μm, 370 μm, 380 μm, 390 μm, 400 μm.
[0056] In this way, setting the maximum bending distance of the first bending structure 60 relative to the first fine grid 20 within this range can not only ensure that the busbar structure 50 has a margin of movement to avoid disconnection between the busbar structure 50 and the first bending structure 60, but also prevent the first bending structure 60 from affecting other fine grids.
[0057] Exemplarily, the maximum bending distance of the first bending structure 60 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction can be 200 μm, which can not only ensure that the busbar structure 50 has sufficient movement margin to avoid disconnection between the busbar structure 50 and the first bending structure 60 due to stress or external force, but also effectively prevent the first bending structure 60 from interfering with or affecting adjacent fine grids.
[0058] Furthermore, during the process of process preparation, the solder tape needs to be welded to the busbar structure 50, so that the solder tape connects multiple first fine grids 20 to achieve current convergence. However, during the connection process between the solder tape and the busbar structure 50, the problem of stress concentration often occurs, and even leads to the problem of fracture or disconnection at the connection between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50. The busbar structure 50 of the embodiment of the present application can be connected to the first fine grid 20 through the first bending structure 60, ensuring the flexibility and adaptability of the busbar structure 50 on the battery substrate 10 and improving the connection stability between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50. In this way, by reasonably controlling the bending distance of the first bending structure 60, the mechanical strength and flexibility of the connection part with the busbar structure 50 can be better balanced, thereby improving the reliability during the welding and use processes and extending the service life of the solar cell 100.
[0059] Of course, the distance between the first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30 should be greater than the maximum bending distance of the first bending structure 60 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction to avoid the problem of short circuit.
[0060] Embodiment III
[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some alternative embodiments, the height of the first bending structure 60 in the third direction is 35 μm - 200 μm, where the third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. For example, the height of the first bending structure 60 in the third direction can be 35 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, 170 μm, 180 μm, 190 μm, 200 μm.
[0062] In this way, by setting the height of the first bending structure 60 relative to the battery cell substrate 10 in the third direction within this range, the stable connection between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 can be ensured, and the influence of the too-high height of the first bending structure 60 on the thickness of the battery module 300 can be avoided.
[0063] Exemplarily, the height of the first bending structure 60 in the third direction can be 80 μm. By setting the first bending structure 60 at this height, the connection stability between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 can be ensured, and the influence of the too-high height of the first bending structure 60 on the overall thickness of the battery module 300 can be avoided.
[0064] Furthermore, the height of the first fine grid 20 in the third direction can also be 35 μm - 200 μm. The heights of the first fine grid 20 and the first bending structure 60 in the third direction can be the same to ensure the connection stability between the first fine grid 20 and the first bending structure 60. In this embodiment, the heights of the first fine grid 20 and the first bending structure 60 in the third direction can both be 80 μm, which can minimize the influence on the thickness of the battery module 300 while ensuring the mechanical connection reliability, and contribute to optimizing the overall performance and appearance of the battery module 300.
[0065] Embodiment Four
[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some alternative embodiments, the solar cell 100 further includes a second fine grid 30 and a third fine grid 40 disposed on the battery cell substrate 10. The second fine grid 30, the first fine grid 20, and the third fine grid 40 all extend along the first direction and are arranged along the second direction. In the second direction, the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 are adjacent to the first fine grid 20;
[0067] The first bending structure 60 includes a first bending segment 61 and a second bending segment 62. The first bending segment 61 bends relative to the first fine grid 20 in a direction approaching the second fine grid 30, and the second bending segment 62 bends relative to the first fine grid 20 in a direction approaching the third fine grid 40.
[0068] In this way, the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first fine grid 20. The segment of the first bending structure 60 that approaches the second fine grid 30 relative to the first fine grid 20 is the first bending segment 61, and the segment that approaches the third fine grid 40 relative to the first fine grid 20 is the second bending segment 62. At the same time, the first bending segment 61 and the second bending segment 62 can be alternately connected. In this way, without increasing the maximum bending distance in the second direction, the movement margin of the first bending structure 60 on the plane of the battery substrate 10 can be improved, ensuring the stable connection between the busbar structure 50 and the first fine grid 20.
[0069] In this embodiment, the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the first fine grid 20 and are adjacent to each other. The first bending structure 60 is composed of a first bending segment 61 and a second bending segment 62. Among them, the first bending segment 61 bends relative to the first fine grid 20 in a direction approaching the second fine grid 30, and the second bending segment 62 bends relative to the first fine grid 20 in a direction approaching the third fine grid 40. Dividing the first bending structure 60 into the first bending segment 61 and the second bending segment 62 can increase the bending length of the first bending structure 60 and avoid affecting other fine grids.
[0070] In an example, the first fine grid 20 is a positive electrode fine grid. At this time, both the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 are negative electrode fine grids. In this way, the positive electrode fine grid and the negative electrode fine grid can be alternately arranged along the second direction. In addition, the first fine grid 20, the second fine grid 30, and the third fine grid 40 only define the relative positional relationship. For example, please refer to Figure 1 ., the number of the first fine grid 20, the second fine grid 30, and the third fine grid 40 is multiple. In such a case, the second fine grid 30 is above the first first fine grid 20, and the fine grid below the first first fine grid 20 is the third fine grid 40, and this fine grid is also the second fine grid 30 of the second first fine grid 20, and so on, forming a form of alternately arranging one positive electrode fine grid and one negative electrode fine grid.
[0071] Embodiment Five
[0072] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some alternative embodiments, the maximum bending distance of the first bending segment 61 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction is less than the distance between the first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30;
[0073] The maximum bending distance of the second bending section 62 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction is less than the distance between the first fine grid 20 and the third fine grid 40.
[0074] In this way, the first bending structure 60 is connected between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50. At the same time, the maximum bending distances of the first bending section 61 and the second bending section 62 are less than the distances from other fine grids, which can prevent the first bending section 61 and the second bending section 62 from being short-circuited with other fine grids and improve the connection stability between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50.
[0075] Specifically, the maximum bending distance of the first bending section 61 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction is less than the distance between the first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30; the maximum bending distance of the second bending section 62 relative to the first fine grid 20 in the second direction is less than the distance between the first fine grid 20 and the third fine grid 40. In this way, not only the possibility of short-circuit between the bending section and other fine grids is avoided, but also the connection stability between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 is enhanced, and the range of the movement margin of the busbar structure 50 is increased, which helps to improve the structural reliability and electrical conductivity of the overall solar cell.
[0076] Of course, in other embodiments, insulating glue can be provided between the first bending structure 60 and the second fine grid 30, and at the same time, insulating glue can be provided between the first bending structure 60 and the third fine grid 40. In this way, the first fine grid 20 can be prevented from being short-circuited with other fine grids through the first bending structure 60.
[0077] Embodiment Six
[0078] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some alternative embodiments, a plurality of first bending sections 61 and a plurality of second bending sections 62 are alternately arranged along the first direction.
[0079] In this way, a plurality of first bending sections 61 and a plurality of second bending sections 62 are alternately arranged along the first direction, which increases the movement margin of the busbar structure 50 while avoiding short-circuiting with other fine grids, thereby ensuring stable connection between the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50.
[0080] Exemplarily, the number of the first bending segments 61 and the second bending segments 62 is two each. When the first fine grid 20 approaches the bus bar structure 50, the first of the first bending segments 61 is connected to the first of the second bending segments 62, the first of the second bending segments 62 is then connected to the second of the first bending segments 61, the second of the first bending segments 61 is then connected to the second of the second bending segments 62, and the second of the second bending segments 62 is finally connected to the bus bar structure 50. In this way, the multiple first bending segments 61 and second bending segments 62 are alternately distributed in the first direction, which not only significantly increases the movement margin of the bus bar structure 50 on the plane of the cell substrate 10, but also effectively disperses the stress during the welding and heat treatment processes. This alternating arrangement further improves the connection stability between the first fine grid 20 and the bus bar structure 50, ensures the durability and conductivity of the cell during actual use, reduces the risk of fracture caused by stress concentration, and improves the overall reliability and service life of the solar cell 100.
[0081] Embodiment VII
[0082] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some alternative embodiments, the first bending structure 60 is wavy.
[0083] In this way, the first bending structure 60 can be bent up and down in a wavy shape, increasing the movement margin of the bus bar structure 50 without increasing the maximum bending distance, thereby ensuring the stable connection between the first fine grid 20 and the bus bar structure 50.
[0084] Specifically, the first bending structure 60 is wavy, that is to say, the connection positions of the first bending segments 61 and the second bending segments 62 can be rounded to avoid the problem of stress concentration caused by sudden changes at the connection positions of the first bending segments 61 and the second bending segments 62.
[0085] Furthermore, the first bending segments 61 and the second bending segments 62 themselves are also arc-shaped, significantly increasing the movement margin of the bus bar structure 50 without increasing the maximum bending distance. This wavy structure can better buffer the stress changes generated during the welding and heat treatment processes, avoid fractures between the first bending segments 61 and the second bending segments 62 or within the bodies of the first bending segments 61 and the second bending segments 62, and thus effectively ensure the connection stability between the first fine grid 20 and the bus bar structure 50.
[0086] Embodiment VIII
[0087] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some alternative embodiments, the solar cell 100 further includes main grid lines 70 disposed on the cell substrate 10, the bus bar structure 50 is formed on the main grid lines 70, and the multiple main grid lines 70 extend along the second direction and are distributed along the first direction;
[0088] The first fine grid 20 is connected to the main grid line 70 or the bus bar structure 50;
[0089] The second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 are disconnected at the main grid line 70.
[0090] In this way, the first fine grid 20 can be connected to the main grid line 70 through the first bending structure 60 and the bus bar structure 50, so as to conduct the collected current to the external load through the main grid line 70 and the solder strip, thereby realizing the power generation action.
[0091] Specifically, the polarities of the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 can be the same. Therefore, it is necessary to disconnect at the position of the main grid line 70 to avoid short - circuiting with the main grid line 70. The main grid line 70 can connect and collect the current on multiple first fine grids 20. At the same time, the bus bar structure 50 is formed on the main grid line 70, and part of the first fine grids 20 can be connected to the bus bar structure 50 through the first bending structure 60, thereby converging the current of all the first fine grids 20 on the main grid line 70. The solder strip can be connected to the bus bar structure 50 by welding and extend along the direction of the main grid line 70, thereby conducting the current of the main grid line 70 to the external load.
[0092] It can be understood that there is another main grid connected to the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40, and the first fine grid 20 is disconnected here. Other bus bar components and solder strips can also be provided on this main grid. In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the shape of the bus bar structure 50 is not limited either to meet different requirements.
[0093] Of course, in some embodiments, the polarities of the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 are the same, and the polarity of the first fine grid 20 is the same as that of the main grid line 70. An insulating adhesive can be provided between the second fine grid 30 and the third fine grid 40 and the main grid line 70 to avoid short - circuit problems.
[0094] Embodiment Nine
[0095] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in some alternative embodiments, the solar cell 100 further includes a second bending structure 80. The second bending structure 80 connects the main grid line 70 and the bus bar structure 50, and the second bending structure 80 extends along the second direction and is at least partially bent towards the first direction.
[0096] In this way, the main grid line 70 is connected to the busbar structure 50 through the second bending structure 80, so that the busbar structure 50 has a certain movement margin on the plane of the cell substrate 10. The second bending structure 80 can elastically change when the solder tape is connected to the busbar structure 50 to ensure stable connection. At the same time, the width of the contact part between the second bending structure 80 and the busbar structure 50 in the first direction is greater than the width of the main grid line 70 in the first direction, further improving the connection stability and avoiding the main grid line 70 being pulled off due to stress concentration.
[0097] In this embodiment, a second bending structure 80 is also formed between the main grid line 70 and the busbar structure 50, further increasing the movement margin of the busbar structure 50 on the plane of the cell substrate 10. That is to say, when the busbar structure 50 moves slightly relative to the cell substrate 10, it can pull the second bending structure 80 to elastically change and move slightly to avoid breaking the connection between the main grid line 70 and the busbar structure 50 during the process preparation, improving the connection stability.
[0098] Further, in the first direction, the width of the busbar structure 50 is greater than the widths of the second bending structure 80 and the main grid line 70. Since the second bending structure 80 bends left and right relative to the main grid line 70 in the first direction, that is to say, the second bending structure 80 has a certain slope relative to the main grid line 70. In this way, the width of the contact part between the busbar structure 50 and the second bending structure 80 in the first direction is greater than the width of the main grid line 70 in the first direction. The second bending structure 80 and the busbar structure 50 have a larger connection area, which can improve the connection stability between the second bending structure 80 and the busbar structure 50, eliminate the problem of stress concentration, and avoid the main grid line 70 being pulled off due to stress concentration.
[0099] Please refer to Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the second bending structure 80 can be wavy.
[0100] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the corresponding relationship between the main grid line 70 and the second bending structure 80 is not limited to meet different requirements. In some embodiments, the second bending structure 80 can be selectively provided at the ends of some of the main grid lines 70, and the ends of the other part of the main grid lines 70 are not provided with the second bending structure 80. In other embodiments, the second bending structure 80 can be provided at one end of the main grid line 70 and not provided at the other end. In still other embodiments, the second bending structure 80 can be provided at both ends of all of the main grid lines 70.
[0101] Embodiment Ten
[0102] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , in some alternative embodiments, the maximum bending distance of the second bending structure 80 relative to the main grid line 70 in the first direction is 100 μm - 400 μm;
[0103] The height of the second bending structure 80 in the third direction is 35 μm - 200 μm, where the third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction at the same time.
[0104] In this way, the maximum bending distance of the second bending structure 80 relative to the main grid line 70 in the first direction is set within this range, which can not only ensure that the busbar structure 50 has a margin of movement to avoid disconnection between the busbar structure 50 and the second bending structure 80, but also prevent the second bending structure 80 from affecting other fine grid lines. At the same time, the height of the second bending structure 80 relative to the cell substrate 10 in the third direction is set within this range, which can not only ensure the stable connection between the main grid line 70 and the busbar structure 50, but also prevent the height of the second bending structure 80 from being too high to affect the thickness of the battery module 300.
[0105] For example, the maximum bending distance of the second bending structure 80 relative to the main grid line 70 in the first direction can be 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, 170 μm, 180 μm, 190 μm, 200 μm, 210 μm, 220 μm, 230 μm, 240 μm, 250 μm, 260 μm, 270 μm, 280 μm, 290 μm, 300 μm, 310 μm, 320 μm, 330 μm, 340 μm, 350 μm, 360 μm, 370 μm, 380 μm, 390 μm, 400 μm.
[0106] Again, for example, the height of the second bending structure 80 in the third direction can be 35 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm, 150 μm, 160 μm, 170 μm, 180 μm, 190 μm, 200 μm.
[0107] Exemplarily, the maximum bending distance of the second bending structure 80 relative to the main grid line 70 in the first direction can be 300 μm. At the same time, the height of the second bending structure 80 in the third direction can be 100 μm. In this way, it can be ensured that the busbar structure 50 has sufficient movement margin on the plane of the cell substrate 10. Effectively avoid the problem of disconnection between the busbar structure 50 and the second bending structure 80 caused by stress concentration. In addition, proper control of the bending distance can also prevent the second bending structure 80 from interfering with or affecting the normal functions of other fine grid lines or the main grid line. At the same time, the height of the second bending structure 80 in the third direction is controlled within a reasonable range, which can not only ensure the connection stability between the main grid line 70 and the busbar structure 50, but also prevent the height of the bending structure from being too high, thus affecting the overall thickness and structural integrity of the battery module 300.

The width of the contact portion of the busbar structure 50 and the first bending structure 60 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction. In this way, the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 are connected through the first bending structure 60, so that the busbar structure 50 has a certain margin of movement on the plane of the cell substrate 10. The first bending structure 60 can elastically change when the solder tape is connected to the busbar structure 50 to ensure stable connection. At the same time, the width of the contact portion of the first bending structure 60 and the busbar structure 50 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction, further improving the connection stability and avoiding the first fine grid 20 being broken due to stress concentration.
[0111] It can be understood that in the battery string 200, the battery string 200 may include two serially connected cells, three serially connected cells, or other more numbers of cells. Specifically, the number of cells to be connected in series can be determined according to the actual use situation.

[0113] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 , the battery module 300 provided by the embodiment of the present application includes the battery string 200 as described in the above embodiment.
[0114] In the solar cell 100, cell string 200, and solar cell module 300 according to the embodiments of the present application, the solar cell 100 includes a cell substrate 10, a first fine grid 20, a second fine grid 30, a busbar structure 50, and a first bending structure 60. The first fine grid 20 is disposed on the cell substrate 10 and extends along a first direction. The second fine grid 30 is disposed on the cell substrate 10, and the first fine grid 20 and the second fine grid 30 are arranged along a second direction.

The first bending structure 60 connects the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50, and the first bending structure 60 extends along the first direction and is at least partially bent toward the second direction. The width of the contact portion between the busbar structure 50 and the first bending structure 60 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction. Thus, the first fine grid 20 and the busbar structure 50 are connected by the first bending structure 60, so that the busbar structure 50 has a certain margin of movement on the plane of the cell substrate 10, and the first bending structure 60 can elastically change when the solder ribbon is connected to the busbar structure 50 to ensure stable connection. At the same time, the width of the contact portion between the first bending structure 60 and the busbar structure 50 in the second direction is greater than the width of the first fine grid 20 in the second direction, further improving the connection stability and avoiding the first fine grid 20 being broken due to stress concentration.

[0116] The photovoltaic glass may cover the encapsulant film on the front surface of the cell substrate 10. The photovoltaic glass may be ultra-clear glass, which has a high light transmittance, high transparency, and excellent physical, mechanical, and optical properties. For example, the light transmittance of the ultra-clear glass can reach more than 92%, and it can protect the cell as much as possible without affecting the efficiency of the cell. At the same time, the encapsulant film can bond the photovoltaic glass and the cell together, and the presence of the encapsulant film can seal and insulate the cell and prevent water and moisture.
[0117] The backsheet can be attached to the adhesive film on the back of the cell substrate 10.
