Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the field of photovoltaics, it is necessary to conduct test on the reliability of photovoltaic module products. The reliability test is an activity carried out to ensure that the photovoltaic module products maintain functional reliability during the specified service life under the expected use, transportation or storage environments. During the reliability test, mainly through various environmental test equipment to simulate the high temperature, low temperature, high humidity, low humidity and other conditions in the climate environment, accelerating the reaction of the photovoltaic module products in the use environment, to verify whether they meet the expected quality objectives in research and development, design and manufacturing, so as to evaluate the overall photovoltaic module products to determine the reliability life of the products. For photovoltaic modules in the R & D stage, using complete photovoltaic modules for reliability testing, especially for long-time testing projects such as DH1000 and DH2000, the time cost is too high. Therefore, generally small components are used for PCT48 to simulate the reliability of photovoltaic modules in a damp heat environment.
[0003] In the prior art, during the reliability test of small components of photovoltaic module products, the glass of small components is easily broken during the framing process, and there is no bus bar lead-out hole in the glass of conventional small components, and there are difficulties in EL monitoring before and after the test. In addition, after the silicone rubber is coated and cured around the small components, high-temperature cooking simulation is carried out immediately. The small components lack a frame and cannot effectively simulate a normal photovoltaic module, resulting in inaccurate reliability test results. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a small sample structure for verifying the damp heat aging of a photovoltaic module. The small sample structure for verifying the damp heat aging of the photovoltaic module of the utility model can effectively simulate the reliability test of the finished photovoltaic module, and the sample preparation is simple and fast.

The moisture and oxygen barrier films on the two surfaces of the lamination protrude beyond the edge of the lamination. There is the seal between the protruding parts of the moisture and oxygen barrier films on the two surfaces of the lamination, and the seal is used to seal and connect the moisture and oxygen barrier films on the two surfaces of the lamination.
[0007] In some of these embodiments, the moisture and oxygen barrier film is a copper foil.
[0008] In some of these embodiments, the water and oxygen barrier films on each surface of the laminate are connected to form an annular structure.
[0009] In some of these embodiments, the width of the water and oxygen barrier film is 2 mm to 20 mm.
[0010] In some of these embodiments, the distance that the water and oxygen barrier film protrudes from the edge of the laminate is 1 mm to 10 mm.
[0011] In some of these embodiments, a seal is provided between the inner edge of the water and oxygen barrier film on the backlight side of the laminate and the backlight side of the laminate.
[0012] In some of these embodiments, the seal is silicone.
