[0031] BIPV is a technology that integrates photovoltaic power generation units into the structure and appearance of buildings. This technology not only provides renewable energy, but also can be used as part of building materials, reducing the demand for traditional building materials and thus reducing overall construction costs. BIPV components can be designed in various colors, shapes, and textures to suit different architectural design styles. They also help reduce carbon emissions because they use clean solar energy, which can reduce dependence on fossil fuels and help mitigate climate change. Therefore, BIPV is beautiful, practical, and environmentally friendly.
[0032] Existing technologies typically mount photovoltaic power generation units on building walls. Under long-term wind loads, the mounting position can experience fatigue, impacting the structure's safety. Alternatively, photovoltaic power generation units are laminated to metal sheets using a laminator—that is, the two sheets are bonded together using adhesive film. However, due to structural asymmetry, varying thermal expansion properties of the materials, and uneven heating and cooling, significant warping and bending can occur. Furthermore, due to varying material properties, temperature-dependent shear stresses can create between the metal sheet and the photovoltaic unit, leading to the risk of delamination between the metal sheet and the photovoltaic unit, impacting safety and reliability.
[0033] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a photovoltaic power generation structure that can address the above technical issues. The photovoltaic power generation structure provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the photovoltaic power generation structure 10 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a photovoltaic power generation unit 200, a metal plate 100 and a connecting adhesive layer 300; the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 are arranged along the thickness direction of the metal plate 100, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the thickness direction is indicated by arrow Z; the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 is provided with a first bonding area 210 and a second bonding area 220 on the side facing the metal plate 100; wherein, the first bonding area 210 is distributed along the circumference of the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, and the second bonding area 220 is parallel to the length direction of the metal plate 100 or the width direction of the metal plate 100; the connecting adhesive layer 300 is provided in the first bonding area 210 and the second bonding area 220, and the connecting adhesive layer 300 can bond the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 under normal temperature environment.
[0035] The photovoltaic power generation structure 10 includes a photovoltaic power generation unit 200 and a metal plate 100. The first bonding area 210 and the second bonding area 220 are provided on the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, and a connecting adhesive layer 300 is provided in the first bonding area 210 and the second bonding area 220 to bond the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200. The first bonding area 210 and the second bonding area 220 are provided so that the connection position distribution of the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 is more uniform and comprehensive, which can not only increase the connection between the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, but also improve the connection between the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200. The connection effect is good, and the connecting adhesive layer 300 can be bonded at room temperature, thereby avoiding adverse effects such as warping and bending caused by high-temperature lamination bonding; and the connecting adhesive layer 300 has good elastic deformation ability, which can absorb the deformation difference caused by different material properties, greatly reduce the shear stress generated between the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, enhance the structural bearing capacity of the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, reduce the deformation possibility of the photovoltaic power generation structure 10, and enhance the reliability and safety of the photovoltaic power generation structure 10.
[0036] Understandably, Figure 1 The photovoltaic power generation unit 200 shown hides the metal grid lines to more clearly illustrate the bonding position of the connecting adhesive layer 300. The photovoltaic power generation unit 200 can be composed of multiple photovoltaic modules connected in series and parallel. The photovoltaic modules can be crystalline silicon solar cells, amorphous silicon heterojunction solar cells, or other tandem solar cells. They can also be thin-film solar cells (amorphous silicon, copper indium gallium selenide, gallium arsenide, cadmium telluride, perovskite, etc.) or solar cells using other technologies. The metal sheet 100 is a common roofing metal sheet material and can be galvanized, galvanized aluminum-zinc, galvanized aluminum-magnesium steel, aluminum, aluminum-magnesium-manganese alloy, or titanium-zinc.
[0037] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first bonding area 210 includes the four edges of the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, that is, the first bonding area 210 is located at the four edges of the photovoltaic power generation unit 200; the second bonding area 220 is located within the first bonding area 210, and the second bonding area 220 is parallel to the length direction of the metal plate 100. There are multiple second bonding areas 220, and there is a gap between the second bonding area 220 and the first bonding area 210. Specifically, in this example, there are two second bonding areas 220, and the two second bonding areas 220 are symmetrically distributed. Through this arrangement, the bonding positions between the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 are distributed more and more evenly, thereby improving the connection effect between the two.
[0038] See Figure 1and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting adhesive layer 300 includes an adhesive layer 310, which is disposed in the first adhesive region 210 and the second adhesive region 220. The adhesive layer 310 can bond the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 at room temperature. The adhesive layer 310 can be a silicone structural adhesive, an organic silicon structural adhesive, an epoxy structural adhesive, a polyurethane structural adhesive, or an acrylate structural adhesive.
[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting adhesive layer 300 further includes a double-sided adhesive patch 320, which is disposed in the first bonding area 210 and the second bonding area 220, and the adhesive layer 310 abuts against the double-sided adhesive patch 320. The double-sided adhesive patch 320 can, on the one hand, bond the metal plate 100 to the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, and on the other hand, can also position the adhesive layer 310, facilitating the positioning of the adhesive layer 310 and improving bonding efficiency. The double-sided adhesive patch 320 can specifically include an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) double-sided adhesive patch 320, a polyethylene (PE) double-sided adhesive patch 320, or a polyurethane (PU) double-sided adhesive patch 320.
[0040] See Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the distribution direction of the adhesive layer 310 and the double-sided tape 320 is perpendicular to the thickness direction; specifically, for the first adhesive region 210 located at the edge, a group of double-sided tape 320 is provided, and the outer side of the double-sided tape 320 is the location for the adhesive layer 310. For the second adhesive region 220, two groups of double-sided tape 320 are provided, and the two groups of EVA double-sided tape 320 are spaced apart, and the gap between them is used to set the adhesive layer 310. The thickness of the adhesive layer 310 is the same as the thickness of the double-sided tape 320. Specifically, the thickness of the adhesive layer 310 and the double-sided tape 320 is no more than 6 mm.
[0041] See Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting adhesive layer 300 located in the first bonding area 210 is provided with a notch 330. The provision of the notch 330 facilitates the discharge of condensed fluid or air remaining between the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 and the metal plate 100, thereby ensuring a tight connection between the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 and the metal plate 100. Furthermore, the metal plate 100 is provided with a mounting groove 110 for mounting a junction box.
[0042] Taking the adhesive layer 310 as structural adhesive and the double-sided adhesive tape 320 as EVA double-sided adhesive tape 320 as an example, the assembly process of the photovoltaic power generation structure 10 is as follows: first, prepare the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200, and clean the bonding surfaces of the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200; then, lay the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 flat with the bonding surface facing up, and paste the EVA double-sided adhesive tape 320 with the same thickness as the structural adhesive on the bonding surface of the photovoltaic power generation unit 200. The bonding positions are shown in the first bonding area 210 and the second bonding area mentioned above. 220; for the first bonding area 210, the outer side of the EVA double-sided tape 320 is the reserved glue groove, and for the second bonding area 220, the gap between the two sets of EVA double-sided tape 320 is the reserved glue groove; then, use mature gluing equipment such as a glue gun to apply structural glue to fill the reserved glue groove; then, the bonding surface of the metal plate 100 is bonded with the structural glue, and the metal plate 100 is aligned with the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 on all sides, and the surface of the metal plate 100 is rolled to make the metal plate 100 and the photovoltaic power generation unit 200 more fully bonded.
[0043] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0044] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
