Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of tape materials, and particularly relates to a positioning tape for a battery string of a photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic module. Background Art

[0002] In the manufacturing process of solar cell modules, adjacent battery strings are generally fixed in the form of a positioning tape to prevent them from moving during the process of running on the production line and lamination, thus avoiding the problem of parallel string short circuit. Therefore, fixing the positioning tape is a very important link, which can make the combination of solar cells more firm and ensure its accuracy and stability.

[0003] On the one hand, the main function of the positioning tape is to position the solar cells and ensure the accuracy of the solar cells. During the combination of solar cells, any deviation of a single cell module will affect the performance of the entire cell module, while the positioning tape can accurately position each solar cell, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the entire solar cell. On the other hand, the positioning tape can also provide a protective film for the solar cells while ensuring accuracy. During the production of solar cells, pasting the positioning tape can avoid possible scratches and damages, making the surface of the solar cells smoother and avoiding the impact of surface damage on the performance of the cells.

[0004] However, the surface layer of the traditional positioning tape is relatively hard, and there is a certain risk of battery fragmentation during the subsequent lamination process of the module. At the same time, the traditional positioning tape itself has a certain specular reflection effect, which is prone to cause optical losses during use, thereby reducing the photoelectric performance of the photovoltaic module.

[0005] Therefore, in this field, there is an urgent need to develop a positioning tape for a battery string of a photovoltaic module to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a positioning tape for a battery string of a photovoltaic module and a photovoltaic module. The positioning tape for a battery string of a photovoltaic module provided by the utility model can not only reduce the specular reflection loss, but also improve the output power and power generation of the photovoltaic module.

[0007] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the following technical solutions are adopted:

[0008] In the first aspect, the utility model provides a positioning tape for a battery string of a photovoltaic module, which includes an adhesive layer and a substrate layer, and the adhesive layer is arranged on the surface of the substrate layer;

[0009] The substrate layer includes a white polymer layer spliced into one body and transparent polymer layers disposed on both sides of the white polymer layer.

[0010] First, the material of the battery string positioning tape for photovoltaic modules provided by the present utility model is relatively soft, which can avoid the risk of hidden cracks in the battery chips during the subsequent lamination of the modules. Second, the substrate layer obtained by splicing a white polymer layer with a high reflectivity in the middle and transparent polymer layers with a high transmittance on both sides not only allows incident light to enter the battery string to the greatest extent, reducing specular reflection loss, but also can utilize the white diffuse reflection effect generated in the area between adjacent battery strings to increase optical gain, thereby further improving the output power and power generation of the photovoltaic module. Finally, during the subsequent lamination and fixing of the module, the substrate layer can have a crosslinking effect with the module adhesive film to avoid delamination.

[0011] In summary, the battery string positioning tape for photovoltaic modules provided by the present utility model can not only play the role of positioning the battery string, but also has the advantages of improving the reliability and optoelectronic performance of the photovoltaic module.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the white polymer layer is disposed between two adjacent strings of photovoltaic module battery strings.

[0013] In the present utility model, the white polymer layer is disposed between two adjacent strings of photovoltaic module battery strings, so that the incident light in this part of the area is fully utilized, and the white diffuse reflection is used to promote the light absorption on the front and back of the battery, thereby further improving the output power of the photovoltaic module.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the thickness of the white polymer layer is 45 - 55 μm, and for example, it can be 45 μm, 48 μm, 50 μm, 52 μm, 55 μm, etc.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the white polymer layer is a white ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer layer.

[0016] In the present utility model, the raw materials of the white ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer layer include ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, crosslinking agent, antioxidant, light stabilizer, silane coupling agent, and titanium dioxide.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the transparent polymer layer is attached to the surface of the photovoltaic module battery string.

[0018] In the present utility model, the transparent polymer layer with a high transmittance is disposed on adjacent battery strings to ensure that incident light enters the battery string to the greatest extent, reducing optical loss.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the thickness of the transparent polymer layer is 45 - 55 μm, and for example, it can be 45 μm, 48 μm, 50 μm, 52 μm, 55 μm, etc.

[0020] In the present utility model, by regulating the thicknesses of the white polymer layer and the transparent polymer layer, the prepared substrate can simultaneously meet the fixing effect between adjacent battery strings and the filling effect of the area between the battery strings. If the thickness is too small, the fixing effect between adjacent battery strings will be poor; on the contrary, if there is too much filling, it will cause fragmentation between the battery strings.

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the transparent polymer layer is a transparent ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer layer.

[0022] In the present utility model, the raw materials of the transparent ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer layer include ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer, cross - linker, antioxidant, light stabilizer, and silane coupling agent.

[0023] In the present utility model, by selecting the materials of the white polymer layer and the transparent polymer layer, both of them have relatively soft materials, avoiding the risk of hidden cracks in the battery chips during the subsequent lamination process of the module.

[0024] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the adhesive layer is located on the side of the substrate layer facing the battery strings of the photovoltaic module, thereby improving the bonding effect between the spliced substrate layer and the battery strings.

[0025] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the adhesive layer is an acrylic adhesive layer.

[0026] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the thickness of the adhesive layer is 45 - 55 μm, and for example, it can be 45 μm, 48 μm, 50 μm, 52 μm, 55 μm, etc.

[0027] In the second aspect, the present utility model provides a preparation method of the photovoltaic module battery string positioning tape according to the first aspect, which includes the following steps: extruding and splicing the transparent ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer layer, the white ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer layer, and the transparent ethylene - vinyl acetate copolymer layer in sequence, and then uniformly coating the adhesive layer on the surface of the formed product, and obtaining the photovoltaic module battery string positioning tape after winding and packaging.

[0028] In the third aspect, the present utility model provides a photovoltaic module, and the photovoltaic module includes the photovoltaic module battery string positioning tape according to the first aspect.

[0029] The battery string positioning tape for photovoltaic modules provided by the present utility model can not only play a role in positioning the battery string, but also has the advantages of improving the reliability and optoelectronic performance of the photovoltaic module.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] The present utility model provides a battery string positioning tape for photovoltaic modules. First, the material of the battery string positioning tape for photovoltaic modules provided by the present utility model is relatively soft, which can avoid the risk of hidden cracks in the battery chips during the subsequent lamination process of the module. Second, the substrate layer of the present utility model is obtained by splicing a white polymer layer with a high reflectivity in the middle and transparent polymer layers with a high transmittance on both sides. This not only allows the incident light to enter the battery string to the greatest extent, reducing the loss of specular reflection, but also can utilize the white diffuse reflection effect generated in the area between adjacent battery strings to increase the optical gain, thereby further improving the output power and power generation of the photovoltaic module.
