[0048] See also Figure 17 and Figure 18The photovoltaic system 1000 in the embodiment of the present invention may include a battery assembly 1001 in the embodiment of the present invention. The battery assembly 1001 in the embodiment of the present invention may include multiple battery strings, and the battery string may include multiple solar cells 100 in the embodiment of the present invention. In the present invention, the multiple solar cells 100 in the battery assembly 1001 are sequentially connected in series via welding ribbons to form a battery string.

[0049] It should be noted that the drawings provided in this application are schematic diagrams, and some elements are not shown. This is for the purpose of clearly describing the technical solution and highlighting the key points of the utility model. It is not intended to limit the technical solution to exclude these unshown elements. In other words, the drawings are merely illustrative and do not limit the specific form of solar cell 100.
[0050] It should be noted that the drawings provided in this application are schematic diagrams, and some elements are not shown in the drawings. The purpose is to clearly describe the technical solution and highlight the key points of the invention. It is not intended to limit the technical solution to not including these unshown elements. For example, Figures 2 to 16 and Figures 19 to 23 In the figure, only part of the structure of the solar cell 100 is shown, and the entire structure of the solar cell 100 is not shown. In fact, the solar cell 100 may include more parts, for example, Figure 2 The solar cell 100 may include other cell structures such as a passivation layer 60, a tunneling layer 70, a gate line 80, and a substrate 90, which are not shown. Figure 1 As shown, the battery structure includes a passivation layer 60, a tunneling layer 70, a gate line 80, a substrate 90, etc. Figure 1 The figure only shows that the solar cell 100 is a bifacial cell. In other embodiments, the solar cell 100 may also be a monofacial cell, which is not limited here.
[0051] like Figures 2 to 16 As shown, the solar cell 100 provided by the present invention includes a doping region 20, a first insulating region 10, and a first cell edge 30 in contact with an adjacent cell 200. The doping region 20 can be P-type doping or N-type doping, or can be composed of alternating P-type doping and N-type doping. The first cell edge 30 is specifically the edge of one side of the solar cell 100. For the solar cell 100, when preparing the cell assembly 1001. Figure 4 、 Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, when there are adjacent cell sheets 200 on both sides of the solar cell 100, a first cell edge 30 can be provided on both sides of the solar cell 100. Specifically, a first cell edge 30 is provided on both sides of the solar cell 100 along the width direction, so a first insulating region 10 is provided on both side edges of the solar cell 100.
[0052] like Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, when there is an adjacent cell 200 on one side of the solar cell 100 and no adjacent cell 200 on the other side of the solar cell 100, a first cell edge 30 may be provided on one side of the solar cell 100, while no first cell edge 30 is provided on the other side of the solar cell 100. That is, the first cell edge 30 is provided on the side of the solar cell 100 close to the adjacent cell 200, while the first cell edge 30 is not provided on the side of the solar cell 100 facing away from the adjacent cell 200. Correspondingly, a first insulating region 10 is provided on the side of the solar cell 100 close to the adjacent cell 200, while no first insulating region 10 is provided on the side of the solar cell 100 facing away from the adjacent cell 200.
[0053] The first insulating region 10 is specifically located between the first battery side 30 and the doped region 20 . The first insulating region 10 electrically isolates the doped region 20 from the adjacent battery cell 200 .
[0054] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a first insulating region 10 on the solar cell 100, the first insulating region 10 is located between the first cell edge 30 and the doped region 20, thereby performing an electrical isolation function. This can isolate the doped region 20 of the solar cell 100 from the adjacent cell 200, thereby preventing the carriers (electrons and holes) of the solar cell 100 from leaking through the contact between adjacent cell 200. Therefore, by providing the first insulating region 10 on the solar cell 100, the present invention can reduce leakage, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the entire battery assembly 1001 and improving the product yield. In addition, the extension direction of the first insulating region 10 can specifically intersect with the welding direction of the solar cell 100, and the doped region 20 can specifically be provided on one side of the solar cell 100 or on two opposite sides of the solar cell 100.
[0055] In addition, in the present invention, the solar cell 100 can be a single-sided solar cell 100 or a double-sided solar cell 100. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 15 As shown, for a single-sided solar cell 100, a first insulating region 10 may be provided on one side of the solar cell 100; Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, for a bifacial solar cell 100, a first insulating region 10 may be provided on two opposite sides of the solar cell 100 in the height direction. Optionally, the solar cell 100 may be a TOPCon solar cell 100, an HJT solar cell 100, a BC solar cell 100, a PERC solar cell 100, or a perovskite tandem solar cell 100.
[0056] Of course, in a battery string, the contact between adjacent battery cells 200 and the solar cell 100 can be as follows: Figures 5 to 13 As shown, the adjacent cells 200 and the solar cell 100 are arranged flatly, and the adjacent cells 200 are in contact with the first cell edge 30 of the solar cell 100; the contact between the adjacent cells 200 and the solar cell 100 can also be as follows Figures 14 to 16 As shown, the solar cell 100 and the adjacent cell 200 are stacked, the solar cell 100 and the adjacent cell 200 partially overlap, and the adjacent cell 200 and the first cell edge 30 and the first insulating region 10 of the solar cell 100 are in contact.
[0057] Optionally, in one embodiment, the width of the first insulating region 10 is 0.05 mm to 15 mm. If the width of the first insulating region 10 is too narrow, effective electrical isolation may not be achieved. Furthermore, when the solar cell 100 and the adjacent cell 200 are partially overlapped, a narrow width of the first insulating region 10 may not effectively electrically isolate the doped region 20 from the adjacent cell 200. If the width of the first insulating region 10 is too wide, it will occupy the effective working area of the solar cell 100, reducing the area for generating photogenerated carriers and directly leading to a decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0058] Preferably, the width of the first insulating region 10 can be set to 0.05 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, or 15 mm, which achieves the best balance between electrical isolation and photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0059] Optionally, regarding the composition of the first insulating region 10 , in a possible implementation manner, the first insulating region 10 is a dielectric layer including at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, and aluminum oxynitride.
[0060] Specifically, the first insulating region 10 may be a dielectric layer directly deposited on the substrate 90 , and the first insulating region 10 may include at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxynitride, or other oxides or other oxynitrides.
[0061] In one embodiment, the first insulating region 10 can be formed by laser + alkali etching, that is, the first insulating region 10 is first demarcated by laser, and then etched with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to form the first insulating region 10 composed of silicon oxide. Of course, in other embodiments, the first insulating region 10 can also be composed of silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxynitride, or other oxides or other nitride oxides; in addition, the first insulating region 10 can also be composed of silicon nitride and silicon oxide. That is, the first insulating region 10 can include at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxynitride, or other oxides or other nitride oxides.
[0062] In addition, regarding the shape of the first insulating region 10 , in a possible implementation manner, the surface of the first insulating region 10 is a suede surface.
[0063] Specifically, the surface of the first insulating region 10 can be configured as a velvet surface. This velvet structure can effectively reduce light reflection on the surface of the solar cell 100. The uneven velvet surface scatters incident light, causing it to reflect multiple times at different angles and ultimately enter the cell, increasing the probability of light absorption. This improves the light absorption efficiency of the solar cell 100 and enhances the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.
[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 14 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the solar cell 100 further includes a second insulating region 40 and a second cell edge 50. The second cell edge 50 is disposed opposite the first cell edge 30 and is located on a side of the solar cell 100 facing away from the adjacent cell 200. The second insulating region 40 is located between the second cell edge 50 and the doped region 20.
[0065] Specifically, the solar cell 100 further includes a second cell side 50, and no adjacent cell 200 is disposed on one side of the second cell side 50. In this embodiment of the present invention, the second cell side 50 and the first cell side 30 are disposed opposite each other along the width of the solar cell 100. Along the width of the solar cell 100, the doped region is located between the first cell side 30 and the second cell side 50.
[0066] In the present invention, a second insulating region 40 may also be provided between the second cell side 50 and the doping region 20. This is because for the solar cell 100, even when a cell string is manufactured, no adjacent cell piece 200 is provided on the side of the second cell side 50 of the solar cell 100. However, in actual application, the second cell side 50 of the solar cell 100 may still be in direct contact with other conductive elements, thereby causing leakage of the solar cell 100.
[0067] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a second insulating region 40 on the solar cell 100, the first insulating region 10 is located between the second cell edge 50 and the doped region 20, thereby performing an electrical isolation function. This can completely isolate the doped region 20 of the solar cell 100 from other conductive elements, thereby preventing the carriers (electrons and holes) of the solar cell 100 from leaking through contact with other conductive elements. Therefore, by providing a second insulating region 40 on the solar cell 100, the present invention reduces leakage, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the entire battery assembly 1001 and improving the product yield. Furthermore, the extension direction of the second insulating region 40 can specifically intersect with the welding direction of the solar cell 100.
[0068] Moreover, by setting the first insulating region 10 and the second insulating region 40, the doping region 20 of the solar cell 100 can be fully isolated to prevent the solar cell 100 from leaking electricity when it contacts the adjacent cell 200 or other conductive elements, thereby improving the battery efficiency and product yield of the solar cell 100.
[0069] Of course, for the solar cell 100 provided by the present invention, the first insulating region 10 and the second insulating region 40 may have the same structure. Figure 4 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the solar cell 100 may be a structure in which first insulating regions are provided on both sides thereof; or Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 14 As shown, the solar cell 100 may also be provided with a structure having both the first insulating region 10 and the second insulating region 40 .
[0070] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 14 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, when an adjacent cell 200 exists on one side of the solar cell 100 and no adjacent cell 200 exists on the other side of the solar cell 100, a first cell edge 30 may be provided on one side of the solar cell 100, while a second cell edge 50 may be provided on the other side of the solar cell 100. Specifically, the first cell edge 30 is provided on the side of the solar cell 100 close to the adjacent cell 200, and the second cell edge 50 is provided on the side of the solar cell 100 facing away from the adjacent cell 200. Correspondingly, a first insulating region 10 is provided on the side of the solar cell 100 close to the adjacent cell 200, and a second insulating region 40 is provided on the side of the solar cell 100 facing away from the adjacent cell 200.
[0071] Optionally, in one possible embodiment, the width of the second insulating region 40 is 0.05 mm to 15 mm. If the width of the second insulating region 40 is too narrow, effective electrical isolation may not be achieved. Furthermore, when the solar cell 100 and the adjacent cell 200 are partially overlapped, a too narrow width of the second insulating region 40 may not effectively electrically isolate the doped region 20 from the adjacent cell 200. If the width of the second insulating region 40 is too wide, it will occupy the effective working area of the solar cell 100, reducing the area for generating photogenerated carriers and directly leading to a decrease in photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0072] Preferably, the width of the second insulating region 40 can be set to 0.05 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, or 15 mm, which achieves the best balance between electrical isolation and photoelectric conversion efficiency.
[0073] Optionally, regarding the composition of the second insulating region 40 , in a possible implementation manner, the second insulating region 40 is a dielectric layer including at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, and aluminum oxynitride.
[0074] Specifically, the second insulating region 40 may be a dielectric layer directly deposited on the substrate 90 , and may include at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxynitride, or other oxides or other oxynitrides.
[0075] In one embodiment, the second insulating region 40 can be formed by laser and alkali etching. Specifically, the second insulating region 40 is first demarcated by laser, and then etched with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to form the second insulating region 40 composed of silicon oxide. Of course, in other embodiments, the second insulating region 40 can also be composed of silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxynitride, or other oxides or oxynitrides. In addition, the second insulating region 40 can also be composed of silicon nitride and silicon oxide. In other words, the second insulating region 40 can include at least one of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxynitride, or other oxides or oxynitrides.
[0076] In addition, regarding the shape of the second insulating region 40 , in a possible implementation manner, the surface of the second insulating region 40 is a suede surface.
[0077] Specifically, the surface of the second insulating region 40 can be configured as a velvet surface. The velvet structure can effectively reduce light reflection on the surface of the solar cell 100. Because the uneven velvet surface scatters incident light, the light is reflected multiple times at different angles and ultimately enters the interior of the cell, increasing the probability of light absorption. In this way, the light absorption efficiency of the solar cell 100 can be improved, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 100.
[0078] Furthermore, for the battery assembly 1001, two adjacent solar cells 100 can be Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the arrangement is partially overlapped to reduce the spacing between the solar cells 100, that is, the adjacent two solar cells 100 are stacked. In the battery assembly 1001, by arranging the adjacent two solar cells 100 to be partially overlapped, that is, stacked, a seamless arrangement of the solar cells 100 can be achieved, thereby reducing the spacing between the cells of the battery assembly 1001, increasing the conversion efficiency of the battery assembly 1001, and increasing the aesthetics of the battery assembly 1001. Of course, the adjacent two solar cells 100 can also be as follows Figure 19 、 Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, two adjacent solar cells 100 are not arranged overlappingly, but are arranged flatly.
[0079] In the present invention, the provision of the first insulating region 10 can avoid leakage caused by contact between adjacent stacked solar cells 100; similarly, the provision of the solar cells 100 can also avoid leakage caused by contact between adjacent flat solar cells 100.
[0080] like Figure 19 and Figure 22As shown, for a single-sided solar cell 100 , the first insulating region 10 only needs to be provided on the side of the solar cell 100 where the grid lines are provided.
[0081] like Figure 20 、 Figure 21 and Figure 23 As shown, for a bifacial solar cell 100 , the first insulating region 10 may be provided on both sides where the grid lines are provided, or may be provided on only one side where the grid lines are provided.
[0082] Specifically, in the battery assembly 1001, for the bifacial solar cells 100 arranged in a flat configuration, since both sides of the solar cell 100 provided with the grid lines will be in contact, the first insulating region 10 needs to be provided on both sides of the bifacial solar cell 100 provided with the grid lines. Of course, in the battery assembly 1001, for the bifacial solar cells 100 arranged in a stacked configuration, the first insulating region 10 can be provided on only one side provided with the grid lines.
[0083] Of course, in one possible embodiment, two solar cells 100 partially overlap, that is, two adjacent solar cells 100 are stacked. The overlapping area of the two adjacent solar cells 100 is smaller than the area of the first insulating region 10. This ensures that the two adjacent solar cells 100 in the stacked arrangement are adequately isolated to prevent unnecessary electrical short circuits or leakage, thereby ensuring the safety and electrical performance of the battery assembly 1001.
