Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of silicon solar cells, in particular to a back-contact solar cell, a cell string, a component and a photovoltaic system. Background Art
[0002] When one or more solar cells (or slices) in a photovoltaic module are partially or completely shaded, a voltage reverse bias will be generated. At this time, the shaded solar cell (slice) will become a load, consuming the power generated by the normal solar cell, thereby generating a large amount of heat, causing the temperature of the solar cell to be relatively high. This is what is generally called the hot spot effect. In order to solve the hot spot problem in the prior art, a diode is generally connected in reverse parallel at both ends of the string unit to reduce the current of the shaded solar cell and weaken the hot spot effect. However, this parallel diode will produce power loss. To solve this problem, a feasible idea is to directly form a leakage composite contact structure on the solar cell (see CN117976743B), that is, in the process of manufacturing the solar cell, the doped layers of different polarities are partially contacted, thereby effectively reducing the reverse voltage at both ends of the shaded solar cell, reducing heat generation, and weakening the hot spot effect. After adopting this method, the control of the hot spot effect can be moved forward to the solar cell end. Therefore, how to evaluate the hot spot effect at the solar cell end has become a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.
[0003] On the other hand, conventional hot spot effect testing generally involves shielding one or more solar cells (or sub-cells) in a solar cell module, exposing the remaining solar cells (or sub-cells) to light. After a certain period of time, the temperature of the shielded solar cell sub-cell is measured to characterize the hot spot effect. This is clearly not suitable for hot spot effect testing at the solar cell end. Utility Model Content

[0054] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides a back-contact solar cell, comprising a silicon substrate 1, a plurality of first doped layers 21, a plurality of second doped layers 22, at least one first positive gate line 41, at least one first negative gate line 42, at least one first test portion 51, and at least one second test portion 52. The silicon substrate 1 comprises a light-receiving surface and a backlight surface oppositely disposed, and the first doped layers 21, the second doped layers 22, the first positive gate line 41, the second positive gate line 43, the first test portion 51, and the second test portion 52 are all disposed on the backlight surface. Multiple first doping layers 21 and multiple second doping layers 22 are alternately arranged along the first direction and extend along the second direction; the first doping layer 21 includes at least one first sub-doping layer 211, and the second doping layer 22 includes at least one second sub-doping layer 221 arranged adjacent to the first sub-doping layer 211; the second sub-doping layer 221 and the first sub-doping layer 211 form a leakage composite contact structure 3 at a preset position; based on the leakage composite contact structure 3, the reverse voltage at both ends of the back-contact solar cell under peak current can be reduced, the heat generation power can be reduced, and the probability of hot spots occurring can be reduced.
[0055] The silicon substrate 1 may be, but is not limited to, P-type monocrystalline silicon, N-type monocrystalline silicon, P-type polycrystalline silicon, or N-type polycrystalline silicon. N-type monocrystalline silicon is preferred. The silicon substrate 1 may be, but is not limited to, a circular, regular hexagonal, octagonal, or rectangular shape. Preferably, the silicon substrate 1 is rectangular and has chamfered corners. When the silicon substrate 1 is rectangular, it has a first edge 11 and a second edge 12 disposed opposite each other in a first direction.
[0056] The first positive gate line 41 is disposed above and in contact with the first sub-doped layer 211, and the first test portion 51 is electrically connected to the first positive gate line 41. The first negative gate line 42 is disposed above and in contact with the second sub-doped layer 221. The second test portion 52 is electrically connected to the first negative gate line 42.
[0057] Specifically, the first test section 51 includes multiple first test grid lines 511, and the second test section 52 includes multiple second test grid lines 521; and the distance between adjacent first test grid lines 511 is less than the width of the test electrode, and the distance between adjacent second test grid lines 521 is less than the width of the test electrode, so as to inject reverse current into the back-contact solar cell through the first test grid lines 511 and the second test grid lines 521, and flow through the leakage composite contact structure 3 to test the reverse breakdown voltage of the back-contact solar cell. Among them, the test electrode refers to the electrode used for injecting current in the test equipment. Based on the technical solution of this embodiment, the reverse breakdown voltage of the back-contact solar cell provided with the leakage composite contact structure 3 can be measured, providing a good basis for characterizing the hot spot effect at the cell end. It should be noted that conventional hot spot testing is generally performed at the component end, that is, any one or more solar cell slices in the solar cell module are blocked, and the other solar cells (or slices) are exposed to light. After a period of time, the temperature of the blocked solar cell (or slice) is tested to further characterize the hot spot effect. Existing technologies struggle to accurately quantify the hot spot effect at the cell end. However, this embodiment, after introducing the leaky composite contact structure 3, measures its reverse breakdown voltage, allowing for quantitative characterization of the hot spot effect through reverse breakdown voltage, providing a sound foundation for controlling the hot spot effect in components. It should be noted that the first test section 51 and the second test section 52 in this embodiment can be used not only to measure reverse breakdown voltage, but also to test other parameters of conventional back-contact solar cells, such as EL, open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and conversion efficiency.
[0058] Among them, the first test gate line 511 in the first test section 51 and the second test gate line 521 in the second test section 52 can extend in any direction, for example, they can extend in the horizontal direction (second direction), or in the vertical direction (first direction), or in a direction that forms any angle with the horizontal direction / vertical direction, but are not limited thereto.
[0059] Preferably, see Figure 1In one embodiment, a plurality of first test gate lines 511 are distributed along the first direction at uniform or uneven spacing; and the first test gate lines 511 extend along the second direction; a plurality of second test gate lines 521 are distributed along the first direction at uniform or uneven spacing; and the second test gate lines 521 extend along the second direction. Furthermore, at least one first test gate line 511 is located on the extension line of the first positive gate line 41 toward the first edge 11, and the first test gate line 511 is in contact with the first sub-doped layer corresponding to the first positive gate line 11; at least one second test gate line 521 is located on the extension line of the first negative gate line 42 toward the second edge 12, and the second test gate line 521 is in contact with the second sub-doped layer 221 corresponding to the first negative gate line 42. Based on this embodiment, not only can accurate measurement be achieved, but also the carrier collection efficiency can be improved, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the back-contact solar cell.
[0060] See also Figure 2 In another embodiment, multiple first test gate lines 511 are evenly or unevenly spaced along the second direction, and the first test gate lines 511 extend along the first direction. Multiple second test gate lines 521 are evenly or unevenly spaced along the second direction, and the second test gate lines 521 extend along the first direction. Furthermore, based on this embodiment, the first test portion 51 and the second test portion 52 do not contact the first doped layer 21 and the second doped layer 22 to prevent short circuits.
[0061] Specifically, the leakage composite contact structure 3 can be obtained by extending the first sub-doped layer 211 / the second sub-doped layer 221 to the second sub-doped layer 221 / the first sub-doped layer 211 in a predetermined area, or by stacking the first sub-doped layer 211 and the second sub-doped layer 221 on each other in a predetermined area, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the second sub-doping layer 221 disposed on one or both sides of the first sub-doping layer 211 extends above the first doping layer 21 at multiple preset positions to partially cover the first sub-doping layer 211, forming a leakage composite contact structure 3. Each first sub-doping layer 211 is provided with multiple leakage composite contact structures 3 along the second direction. Preferably, the multiple leakage composite contact structures 3 located on the same first sub-doping layer 211 are uniformly distributed along the second direction. When the above-mentioned leakage composite contact structure 3 is adopted, the second sub-doping layer 221 extending above the first sub-doping layer 211 partially covers the first sub-doping layer 211 in the first direction to prevent the first positive gate line 41 disposed above the first sub-doping layer 211 from contacting the second sub-doping layer 221 and causing leakage.
[0062] Specifically, the number of the first sub-doped layers 211 can be determined according to the magnitude of the leakage current, and can be 1, 2, 5, 10 or 15, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, the number of the first sub-doped layers 211 is 10 to 25.
[0063] In one embodiment, the first doping layer 21 further includes a plurality of third sub-doping layers 212, and the second doping layer 22 further includes a plurality of fourth sub-doping layers 222. The third sub-doping layers 212 and the fourth sub-doping layers 222 are alternately arranged along the first direction. The third sub-doping layers 212 and the fourth sub-doping layers 222 are insulated from each other. Specifically, the insulation between the third sub-doping layers 212 and the fourth sub-doping layers 222 can be achieved by providing a gap between the third sub-doping layers 212 and the fourth sub-doping layers 222, but is not limited thereto.
[0064] Correspondingly, a second positive gridline 43 is provided above the third sub-doped layer 212, and the second positive gridline 43 contacts the third sub-doped layer 212. A second negative gridline 44 is provided above the fourth sub-doped layer 222, and the second negative gridline 44 contacts the fourth sub-doped layer 222. By designing multiple second positive gridlines 43 and second negative gridlines 44, the amount of carrier collection can be increased, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the back-contact solar cell.
[0065] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first test section 51 is disposed near the first edge 11, and the second test section 52 is disposed near the second edge 12. It should be noted that the first positive grid line 41, the second positive grid line 43, the first negative grid line 42, and the second negative grid line 44 all have line resistance. After reverse current is passed, a voltage divider will exist on these grid lines. In addition, contact resistance exists between the first positive grid line 41 and the first sub-doped layer 211, the second positive grid line 43 and the third sub-doped layer 212, the first negative grid line 42 and the second sub-doped layer 221, and the second negative grid line 44 and the fourth sub-doped layer 222, which will also produce a voltage divider. Therefore, in order to more accurately characterize the reverse breakdown voltage of the back-contact solar cell, it is necessary to consider the grid line resistance voltage divider and the contact resistance voltage divider. In this embodiment, the first test section 51 and the second test section 52 are arranged close to the edge of the silicon wafer, so that the reverse current flows in the second direction through the longer first positive gate line 41 / second positive gate line 43 and first negative gate line 42 / second negative gate line 44, which can better characterize the effects of the gate line resistance voltage division and the contact resistance voltage division on the reverse breakdown voltage.
[0066] Specifically, the number of first test gate lines 511 in the first test section 51 is 2 to 10, exemplarily 3, 5, 7 or 9, but not limited thereto. The multiple first test gate lines 511 are evenly spaced or unevenly spaced in the first direction. Preferably, in one embodiment, the first test section 51 includes at least 3 first test gate lines 511 evenly spaced along the first direction, and at least one first test gate line 511 on both sides is connected to at least one second positive gate line 43 located on both sides of the first positive gate line 41, and the middle first test gate line 511 is connected to the first positive gate line 41. Based on this embodiment, the reverse current injected by the first test section 51 can flow directly through at least one second positive gate line 43 and the first positive gate line 41 via the first test gate line 511, thereby better characterizing the influence of the gate line resistance voltage divider and the contact resistance voltage divider on the reverse breakdown voltage. More preferably, in one embodiment, the first test section 51 includes five first test gate lines 511 uniformly distributed along the first direction, wherein the two first test gate lines 511 on both sides are respectively connected to the two second positive gate lines 43 located on both sides of the first positive gate line 41, and the middle first test gate line 511 is connected to the first positive gate line 41.
[0067] Specifically, the first test gate line 511 may be linear or curved, but is not limited thereto. Preferably, in one embodiment, the first test gate line 511 is linear and extends along the second direction. A plurality of first test gate lines 511 are connected by a third connection gate line 512, and the third connection gate line 512 extends along the second direction.
[0068] Specifically, the number of second test gate lines 521 in the second test section 52 is 2 to 10, exemplarily 3, 5, 7 or 9, but not limited thereto. The plurality of second test gate lines 521 are evenly spaced or unevenly spaced in the first direction. Preferably, in one embodiment, the second test section 52 includes at least 3 second test gate lines 521 evenly spaced along the first direction, and at least one second test gate line 521 on both sides is connected to at least one second negative gate line 44 located on both sides of the first negative gate line 42, and the middle second test gate line 521 is connected to the first negative gate line 42. Based on this embodiment, the reverse current flows through at least one second negative gate line 44 and the first negative gate line 42, thereby better characterizing the influence of the gate line line resistance voltage divider and the contact resistance voltage divider on the reverse breakdown voltage. More preferably, in one embodiment, the second test section 52 includes five second test gate lines 521 uniformly distributed along the first direction, wherein the two second test gate lines 521 on both sides are respectively connected to the two second negative gate lines 44 located on both sides of the first negative gate line 42, and the middle second test gate line 521 is connected to the first negative gate line 42.
[0069] Specifically, the second test gate lines 521 may be linear or curved, but are not limited thereto. Preferably, in one embodiment, the second test gate lines 521 are linear and extend along the second direction. A plurality of second test gate lines 521 are connected by fourth connection gate lines 522, and the fourth connection gate lines 522 extend along the second direction.
[0070] Preferably, in some embodiments, the back-contact solar cell further includes a first shunt grid line 61 and a second shunt grid line 62, wherein the first shunt grid line 61 extends along the first direction and is electrically connected to a plurality of second positive grid lines 43 and at least one first positive grid line 41. The second shunt grid line 62 extends along the first direction and is electrically connected to a plurality of second negative grid lines 44 and at least one first negative grid line 42. Based on the above embodiment, the reverse current can be shunted to a plurality of first positive grid lines 41 and second positive grid lines 43 via the first shunt grid line 61, and then flow through a plurality of first negative grid lines 42 and second negative grid lines 44 before being collected via the second shunt grid line 62, thereby achieving a better effect of characterizing the influence of grid line resistance voltage division and contact resistance voltage division on the accuracy of the reverse breakdown voltage test.
[0071] Specifically, the first shunt gate line 61 and the second shunt gate line 62 can be arranged in the middle of the backlight surface, or close to the edge, but are not limited thereto. Preferably, in one embodiment, the first shunt gate line 61 is arranged close to the first edge 11, and the second shunt gate line 62 is arranged close to the second edge 12. Based on this embodiment, other gate line structures can be simplified. It should be noted that since the first shunt gate line 61 and the second shunt gate line 62 extend along the first direction and have different polarities, if they are arranged in the middle of the backlight surface of the silicon wafer, it is necessary to introduce an insulating structure into the first positive gate line 41, the second positive gate line 43, the first negative gate line 42, and the second negative gate line 44, which complicates the gate line structure, reduces carrier collection, and affects conversion efficiency.
[0072] Specifically, when the first test section 51 and the first shunt gate line 61 are both positioned near the first edge 11, and the second test section 52 and the second shunt gate line 62 are positioned near the second edge 12, the distance between the first test section 51 and the first edge 11 is greater than the distance between the first shunt gate line 61 and the first edge 11; and the distance between the second test section 52 and the second edge 12 is greater than the distance between the second shunt gate line 62 and the second edge 12. Exemplarily, the distance between the first test section 51 and the first edge 11 can be 3 mm to 8 mm, the distance between the second test section 52 and the second edge 12 can be 3 mm to 8 mm, the distance between the first shunt gate line 61 and the first edge 11 can be 0.2 mm to 5 mm, and the distance between the second shunt gate line 62 and the second edge 12 can be 0.2 mm to 5 mm, but the present invention is not limited thereto. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the distance between the first test section 51 and the first edge 11 refers to the distance between the end of the first test gate line 511 near the first edge 11 and the first edge 11. The distance between the second test portion 52 and the second edge 12 refers to the distance between the end of the second test gate line 512 close to the second edge 12 and the second edge 12.

When connected through the first connecting gate line 71 / the second connecting gate line 72, a spacing area can be left between the first test section 51 / the second test section 52 and the first shunt gate line 61 / the second shunt gate line 62. Gate lines of different polarities can be set in this spacing area to collect carriers of different polarities, thereby improving conversion efficiency.
[0074] Preferably, in one embodiment, a third negative gate line 46 extending along the second direction is further provided on at least one side of the first connecting gate line 71 in the first direction. The third negative gate line 46 is electrically connected to the second negative gate line 44 and is insulated from the first test portion 51, thereby collecting carriers in the gap area between the first shunt gate line 61 and the first test portion 51 through the third negative gate line 46.
[0075] Correspondingly, a third positive grid line 45 extending along the second direction is further provided on at least one side of the second connecting line in the first direction. The third positive grid line 45 is electrically connected to the second positive grid line 43 and is insulated from the second test portion 52 so as to collect carriers in the spacing area between the second shunt grid line 62 and the second test portion 52 through the third positive grid line 45.

[0077] Accordingly, this embodiment also discloses a battery assembly comprising the aforementioned back-contact solar cell or the aforementioned battery string. Preferably, in one embodiment, the battery assembly is composed of a plurality of the aforementioned battery strings, exemplarily comprising two, four, or six strings, but not limited thereto.

Taking the photovoltaic power generation system network as an example, the photovoltaic system may include a photovoltaic array, a junction box and an inverter. The photovoltaic array can be an array combination of multiple battery assemblies. For example, multiple battery assemblies can form multiple photovoltaic arrays. The photovoltaic array is connected to the junction box. The junction box can converge the current generated by the photovoltaic array. The converged current flows through the inverter to be converted into the alternating current required by the mains power grid and then connected to the mains power network to achieve solar power supply.
