[0046] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] This embodiment provides a photovoltaic welding ribbon, which can reduce the usage of the first alloy layer and save costs; at the same time, it improves the welding performance of the photovoltaic welding ribbon and increases the product yield.

[0049] like Figure 1As shown, the photovoltaic ribbon primarily comprises a first segment 100, which includes a first substrate 110, a first alloy layer 120, and a black coating 130. The first alloy layer 120 is connected to and positioned below the first substrate 110. Together, the first alloy layer 120 and the first substrate 110 form a peripheral side surface 140. The side of the first alloy layer 120 facing away from the first substrate 110 forms a bottom surface 150. The black coating 130 is applied to the peripheral side surface 140, and the bottom surface 150 is configured to connect to the front surface of the solar cell 300.

[0050] Based on the above design, in this embodiment, a first alloy layer 120 is provided below the first substrate 110, and a black coating 130 is applied to the peripheral side surface 140 formed by the first alloy layer 120 and the first substrate 110, so that the bottom surface 150 is connected to the front surface of the battery cell 300. In this way, since the bottom surface 150 is the first alloy layer 120 and is not coated with the black coating 130, the welding performance with the battery cell 300 can be improved, the risk of cold welding can be reduced or avoided, and the product yield can be improved. At the same time, since the first alloy layer 120 is located below the first substrate 110, it is not covered around the copper wire as in the prior art, which can reduce the amount of the first alloy layer 120 used, thereby achieving the purpose of cost savings.

[0051] Optionally, the peripheral side surface 140 in this embodiment is arranged in an arched shape. Specifically, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the first substrate 110 is circular, the first alloy layer 120 is connected to the first substrate 110, and the cross section formed by the first alloy layer 120 and the first substrate 110 is arched. Of course, the operator can also set the peripheral side surface 140 to other different shapes according to actual needs, which will not be detailed here.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the photovoltaic welding strip also includes a second section 200, the second section 200 includes a second substrate and a second alloy layer, the second alloy layer is coated on the second substrate, the first substrate 110 and the second substrate are integrally formed, and the second alloy layer is configured to be connected to the back of the battery cell 300.

[0053] The second base body is coated with a second alloy layer, which improves the stability and reliability of the welding between the second alloy layer and the back of the battery cell 300, reducing or avoiding the risk of cold welding. The second segment 200 is not coated with a black coating 130, which further ensures the welding performance between the second segment 200 and the back of the battery cell 300.

[0054] It is understandable that in this embodiment, the peripheral side surface 140 of the first segment 100 is coated with the black coating 130 , while the second segment 200 is not coated with the black coating 130 , so that the photovoltaic ribbon can be applied to single-sided cells 300 .

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first substrate 110 and the second substrate can both be set as copper wires, and the first alloy layer 120 and the second alloy layer can both be set as tin-lead-bismuth alloy layers or tin-bismuth-silver alloy layers.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first segment 100 and the second segment 200 are both provided in plurality, and the first segment 100 and the second segment 200 are alternately provided, thereby completing the series connection of the plurality of battery cells 300 to form a battery string.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the distance between the bottom end of the black coating 130 and the extension line of the bottom surface 150 is H. The setting of the distance H can minimize the contact between the black coating 130 and the battery cell 300, thereby ensuring the welding performance of the first alloy layer 120 and the battery cell 300 and reducing the risk of cold welding.

[0058] Exemplarily, the distance H can be set to between 0.1 mm and 1.0 mm. For example, the distance H can be set to values ​​such as 0.1 mm, 0.5 mm, and 1.0 mm.

[0059] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment also provides a photovoltaic module, characterized in that the photovoltaic module includes a battery cell 300 and the above-mentioned photovoltaic welding ribbon, and the bottom surface 150 of the first section 100 of the photovoltaic welding ribbon is connected to the front surface of the battery cell 300.

[0060] Specifically, the bottom surface 150 of the first section 100 of the photovoltaic ribbon is connected to the front surface of the cell 300, and the second section 200 is connected to the back surface of the cell 300, thereby forming a single-glass black photovoltaic module. It is understood that the cell 300 here is a single-sided cell 300.

[0061] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the photovoltaic module in this embodiment also includes a solid adhesive layer 400. The solid adhesive layer 400 includes a first coating portion 410 and a second coating portion 420 that are interconnected. The first coating portion 410 is coated on the peripheral side surface 140 and is located outside the black coating 130. The second coating portion 420 is connected to the cell 300. The solid adhesive layer 400 can securely adhere the photovoltaic ribbon to the cell 300, thereby preventing relative displacement between the photovoltaic ribbon and the cell 300 and improving stability. In addition, the provision of the solid adhesive layer 400 can provide a certain degree of protection for the photovoltaic ribbon, reducing or preventing paint peeling and whitening of the photovoltaic ribbon after stretching or friction, and preventing the black coating 130 from falling on the cell 300 and contaminating the photovoltaic module, thereby ensuring the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic module.

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown, the photovoltaic module further includes a front adhesive film 500 and a back adhesive film 600, the front adhesive film 500 is arranged on the front of the battery cell 300, and the back adhesive film 600 is arranged on the back of the battery cell 300. For example, as Figure 4 As shown, between two adjacent battery cells 300 in a battery string, the front adhesive film 500 of one battery cell 300 is set on the front of the battery cell 300 and covers the first segment 100 of the photovoltaic welding tape, and the back adhesive film 600 of the other battery cell 300 is set on the back of the battery cell 300 and covers the second segment 200 of the photovoltaic welding tape. Then, after the lamination process, the battery cell 300 and the photovoltaic welding tape are interconnected and welded.

[0063] Optionally, the cell 300 in this embodiment can be configured as a busbarless cell.

[0064] Since the photovoltaic module has the photovoltaic welding ribbon, the photovoltaic module can reduce the usage of the first alloy layer 120 and save costs; at the same time, the welding performance of the photovoltaic welding ribbon is improved, thereby increasing the product yield.

[0065] The preparation method of the photovoltaic module in this embodiment is as follows:

[0066] Spraying or brushing black pigment on the photovoltaic ribbon to form a black coating 130;

[0067] The black coating 130 is dried, and then the photovoltaic ribbon is laid on the cell 300;

[0068] Printing a solid adhesive layer 400 on the laid photovoltaic ribbon to bond the photovoltaic ribbon to the cell 300 and fix the photovoltaic ribbon;

[0069] Prepare several battery strings and connect them by welding using black bus bars;

[0070] Lay the back glass or back panel, and seal the edges and laminate them.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] like Figure 5-Figure 6As shown, this embodiment also provides a photovoltaic ribbon. The main difference between this photovoltaic ribbon and the one in the first embodiment is that the photovoltaic ribbon in this embodiment further includes a second segment 200 and a connecting segment 210. The structure of the second segment 200 is different from that in the first embodiment. Specifically, one end of the connecting segment 210 is connected to the first segment 100, and the other end is connected to the second segment 200. The second segment 200 has the same structure as the first segment 100, and the first and second segments 100 and 200 are centrally symmetrically arranged about the connecting segment 210. The bottom surface 150 of the first segment 100 is configured to connect to the front surface of the cell 300, while the bottom surface 150 of the second segment 200 is configured to connect to the back surface of the cell 300. The connecting segment 210 is coated with a black coating 130 and is located between two adjacent cells 300.

[0073] Since the first segment 100 and the second segment 200 of this embodiment have the same structure, but are arranged slightly differently, namely, the first segment 100 and the second segment 200 are arranged centrally and symmetrically about the connecting segment 210, and the connecting segment 210 is also coated with a black coating 130, this allows the bottom of the first segment 100 to connect to the front side of the cell 300, and the bottom of the second segment 200 to connect to the back side of the cell 300. The connecting segment 210 is located between two adjacent cells 300, and thus is suitable for double-glass black photovoltaic modules. It can be understood that the cell 300 in this case is bifacial.

[0074] The connecting segment 210 in this embodiment can be defined as a part of the first segment 100 and a part of the second segment 200 .

[0075] like Figure 5 As shown, the first substrate 110 in this embodiment is arched, and the first alloy layer 120 is connected to the bottom of the first substrate 110. Compared with the structure of the photovoltaic ribbon in Example 1, this can further save the amount of the first alloy layer 120, thereby achieving the purpose of cost saving.

[0076] The remaining structures of the photovoltaic welding strip in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0077] Obviously, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions are possible for those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.

Throughout this specification, the schematic representations of these terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
