[0032] A solar cell is a photoelectric semiconductor wafer that uses sunlight to generate electricity directly. It is also called a "solar chip" or "photovoltaic cell." As long as it is illuminated by light that meets certain illumination conditions, it can instantly output voltage and generate current in the presence of a circuit. In physics, it is called solar photovoltaic (PV), or simply photovoltaic. In order to conveniently and clearly describe the method for preparing a solar cell and the solar cell of the present invention, the following exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding. These should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for the sake of clarity and conciseness, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0033] The photovoltaic module of the prior art is usually a cover plate 1, a front film, a battery array 2, a rear film and a back plate 4 are stacked and then laminated into an integrated structure through a lamination process, such as Figure 1 As shown. The multi-layered stacked structure leaves the sides of the front film, battery array 2, and rear film exposed. Although the photovoltaic module is provided with a frame and an encapsulating film filling the gap between the frame and the photovoltaic module, due to the material of the film itself, water vapor penetration can still occur under long-term water vapor erosion, causing the photovoltaic module to age, yellow, and even delamination and corrosion. Therefore, the present invention provides a new photovoltaic module structure that can effectively avoid the problem of exposed photovoltaic module sides and extend the service life of the photovoltaic module.

[0034] Figures 2 to 4 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the photovoltaic module provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is shown as follows: Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the photovoltaic module provided by the present invention includes: a cover plate 1, a battery array 2, a filling layer 3 and a back plate 4; wherein, the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4 are stacked, and the lower main surface of the cover plate 1 and the upper main surface of the back plate 4 are fixedly connected and enclose one or more hollow cavities 100; the hollow cavity 100 is used to place the battery array 2; the filling layer 3 is filled in the hollow cavity 100 to seal the battery array 2.

[0035] from Figure 2It can be seen that the embodiment of the present invention provides a hollow cavity 100 enclosed between the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4, which effectively protects the battery array 2 and the filling layer 3, avoiding the problem of directly exposing the filling layer 3 or the side of the battery array 2, and greatly improving the sealing of the photovoltaic module. Moreover, the direct contact between the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4 improves the overall mechanical strength of the photovoltaic module, effectively avoiding the deformation problem of the photovoltaic module. At the same time, compared to conventional filled cavity modules, the filling layer 3 in the embodiment of the present invention is not only used to seal the battery array, but also can avoid the problem of excessive temperature caused by poor heat transfer inside the cavity.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, one or more first grooves 200 for placing battery strings in the battery array 2 are provided on the lower main surface of the cover plate 1 and / or the upper main surface of the back plate 4; the first grooves 200 on the cover plate 1 and / or the back plate 4 constitute the entire or partial structure of the hollow cavity 100. It is understandable that the embodiment of the utility model forms a partial or complete cavity for placing battery strings in the battery array 2 through the first grooves 200. As to whether the first grooves 200 are provided on the cover plate 1, the back plate 4, or both the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4, it can be arranged according to needs. Specifically, the setting position of the hollow cavity 100 can be as follows: Figures 2 to 4 As shown, Figure 2 The first groove 200 is provided only on the lower main surface of the cover plate 1. Figure 3 The first groove 200 is symmetrically provided on the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4. Figure 4 The first groove 200 is only provided on the upper main surface of the back plate 4. Figures 2 to 4 It can be seen that when the first groove 200 is set at different positions, the position of the hollow cavity 100 will also change accordingly. In an optional embodiment, in order to relatively simplify the manufacturing process of the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4, it is preferred to adopt Figure 3 In this manner, first grooves 200 are provided on both the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4. This allows the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4 to be produced uniformly using the same layout. This means the produced glass assembly can serve as both the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4, eliminating the need for separate production of the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4. Furthermore, to ensure that the hollow cavity 100 can accommodate the battery array 2 without wasting excess space, in an optional embodiment, the depth of the hollow cavity 100 is between 200 μm and 600 μm, for example, 200 μm, 300 μm, 450 μm, 500 μm, 600 μm, and the like.

[0037] In addition to requiring a hollow area to accommodate the battery strings in the battery array 2, a portion of the hollow area is also required to accommodate the interconnection ribbons in the battery array 2. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, one or more second grooves 300 for accommodating the interconnection ribbons in the battery array 2 are further provided on the lower main surface of the cover plate 1 and / or the upper main surface of the back plate 4; wherein the second grooves 200 intersect and communicate with the first grooves 100; and the second grooves 300 are part of the hollow cavity 100.

[0038] Specifically, since the battery array 2 is generally a sheet structure, in order to ensure that the battery array 2 does not bend and thus affect the performance of the battery array 2, in the embodiment of the present utility model, if the first groove 200 is as Figure 2 As shown, the second groove 300 is only provided on the lower main surface of the cover plate 1. Figure 3 As shown, the second groove 300 is synchronously arranged on the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4, and the second groove 300 is also synchronously arranged on the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4. For example, the positional relationship between the second groove 300 and the first groove 200 can be as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the planar structure of the first groove 200 and the second groove 300, Figure 6 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the first groove 200 is shown in FIG. It is understood that in the battery array 2, the interconnection belt realizes the electrical connection between multiple battery strings, so the setting direction of the interconnection belt and the battery string is intersecting, usually vertically arranged. Therefore, the second groove 300 and the first groove 200 in the embodiment of the present invention are also arranged perpendicularly to each other in a preferred embodiment. In addition, for different battery array 2 structures, the setting position of the interconnection belt is also different. The embodiment of the present invention is based on Figure 5 For example, the case where the interconnection ribbon is arranged at the left and right ends of the battery string is described. When the interconnection ribbon is arranged at other positions, the position of the second groove 300 also changes accordingly and only needs to correspond to the interconnection ribbon.

[0039] In order to ensure that the hollow cavity 100 can be used to place the battery array 2, and the depth is neither too large nor too small, in a further optional embodiment, the depth of the first groove 200 is 100 μm~600 μm, for example, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, 300 μm, 400 μm, 600 μm, etc.; the depth of the second groove 300 is 100 μm~600 μm, for example, 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, 300 μm, 400 μm, 600 μm, etc. It can be understood that when the first groove 200 and the second groove 300 are only provided on the cover plate 1 or the back plate 4, the depth of the first groove 200 and the second groove 300 itself constitutes the depth of the hollow cavity 100. Therefore, in a further optional embodiment, the depth of the first groove 200 or the second groove 300 is 200 μm~600 μm; when the first groove 200 and the second groove 300 are provided on both the cover plate 1 and the back plate 4 at the same time, the two first grooves 200 symmetrically provided on the lower surface of the cover plate 1 and the upper surface of the back plate 4 jointly constitute the depth of the hollow cavity 100, and similarly, the second grooves 300 symmetrically provided on the lower surface of the cover plate 1 and the upper surface of the back plate 4 also jointly constitute the depth of the hollow cavity 100. Therefore, in a further optional embodiment, the depth of the first groove 200 is 100 μm~300 μm, and the depth of the second groove 300 is also 100 μm~300 μm. The two first grooves 200 and the two second grooves 300 arranged opposite to each other together form a hollow cavity 100 with a depth of 200 μm to 600 μm.

[0040] Regarding the filling layer 3 that seals the cell array 2, in one optional embodiment, the filling material in the filling layer 3 is at least one of epoxy resin, polyurethane, liquid silicone, and silicone oil, and the refractive index of the filling layer 3 is 1.5 to 2.5, for example, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, etc. The cover plate 1 and back plate 4 in the embodiment of the present invention can be made of conventional glass. The refractive index of the selected filling material is close to that of the glass material, and is between that of the cell array 2 and the glass material. Compared to the lower refractive index front and back adhesive films in the prior art, this effectively reduces optical loss and improves the overall efficiency of the photovoltaic module.

[0041] For photovoltaic modules, it is also necessary to provide a through hole for leading out the interconnection ribbon to connect the interconnection ribbon to the junction box, thereby obtaining a complete photovoltaic module. Therefore, in an optional embodiment, the photovoltaic module provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes: a lead-out hole 41 provided on the upper main surface of the cover plate 1 or the lower main surface of the back plate 4; the position of the lead-out hole 41 corresponds to the second groove 300 and is connected to the hollow cavity 100. For example, Figure 7 and Figure 8As an example, the location of the lead-out hole 41 is specifically described, wherein: Figure 7 This is a structural diagram of setting the lead-out hole 41 at the edge of the cover plate 1 or the back plate 4. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a structure in which lead-out holes 41 are positioned in the middle area of ​​the cover plate 1 or back plate 4. It is understood that since lead-out holes 41 are used to lead the interconnect ribbons within the battery array 2 for subsequent electrical connection to the junction box, their placement in alignment with the second groove 300 minimizes the length of the interconnect ribbons. Furthermore, the number of lead-out holes 41 can be adjusted based on the actual interconnect ribbon configuration.

[0042] In order to ensure the sealing of the filling layer 3 and prevent the filling layer 3 from leaking out of the lead-out hole 41, in a further optional embodiment, the photovoltaic component provided by the embodiment of the present invention also includes: an encapsulation film arranged in the lead-out hole 41; wherein the encapsulation film encapsulates the filling layer 3 in the hollow cavity 100.

[0043] In summary, the photovoltaic module provided by the present invention improves the structure of the cover and backsheet, so that when the cover and backsheet are stacked, the lower main surface of the cover and the upper main surface of the backsheet can directly contact each other, enclosing a hollow cavity for accommodating the battery array. Compared with the stacked structures with exposed sides in the prior art, this effectively improves the sealing of the photovoltaic module sides, avoiding problems such as water vapor erosion and delamination corrosion. At the same time, the filling layer seals the battery array, further protecting it.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for preparing a photovoltaic module, which may include the following steps:

[0045] Step S901: Laying the back plate, the battery array, and the cover plate in sequence, so that the battery array is located in the hollow cavity formed between the cover plate and the back plate; the battery array may be a battery array with a filling layer pre-cured on the surface or a battery array without a filling layer pre-cured on the surface;

[0046] Step S902: Welding the contact surfaces between the cover plate and the back plate in the area where the hollow cavity is not provided;

[0047] In the case where a filling layer is not pre-cured on the surface of the battery array, the method further includes: step S903, pouring a filling material into the hollow cavity and curing it to form a filling layer that seals the battery array;

[0048] In the case where the battery array has a filling layer pre-cured on its surface, before step 1, the method further includes: step S900, in which a filling material is applied to the surface of the blank battery array in a vacuum environment, and after curing, a battery array with a filling layer pre-cured on its surface is obtained.

[0049] It is understood that for a battery array with a pre-cured filling layer, only steps S900 to S902 need to be performed, and the post-filling step S903 does not need to be performed. The battery array with the pre-cured filling layer can be directly stacked with the back plate and cover plate, and then welded in one step. For a battery array without a pre-cured filling layer, step S900 does not need to be performed, and steps S901 to S903 can be performed.

[0050] Among them, the back plate and cover plate laid in step S901 can both be made of glass material, and in an optional embodiment, step S902 can use femtosecond laser welding technology or high-energy laser welding technology to weld the contact surface. It should be noted that compared with other welding technologies, femtosecond laser welding technology has a better welding effect on glass materials. Therefore, when the back plate and cover plate are made of glass material, femtosecond welding technology is selected to achieve the welding function. It can be understood that for different welding materials, corresponding welding technologies can be selected in a targeted manner to ensure the welding effect between different welding materials. This is not specifically limited by the present invention. In addition to welding technology, adhesive bonding or other methods can also be used to fix the cover plate and the back plate into one. In addition, compared with the technology of sealing the edge by hot-melt glass in the prior art, the above-mentioned welding process consumes less energy and has higher welding efficiency, and will not cause local stress changes in the glass, resulting in uneven stress in the glass or a decrease in tempering degree.

[0051] It should be noted that step S903 is limited to the case where there is no pre-cured filling layer on the surface of the battery array, that is, after step S902, the back plate, battery array and cover plate are only welded together, but the hollow cavity is not filled. Therefore, step S903 needs to be performed after welding to pour the filling material into the hollow cavity by post-filling to form a filling layer that seals the battery array. In an optional embodiment, when the filling material is at least one of epoxy resin, polyurethane and liquid silicone, step S903 can be as follows: Figure 10 As shown, specifically including:

[0052] Step S1001: Filling a filling material into the hollow cavity using the lead-out hole provided on the cover plate or the back plate;

[0053] Step S1002 , vacuuming or curing the filling material to form a filling layer; wherein vacuuming is achieved by a laminator or a vacuum furnace; curing includes at least one of the following curing methods: light curing, room temperature curing, and high temperature curing.

[0054] If the backplate has multiple lead-out holes, one of these holes can be used as the filling inlet, and conduits can be installed in the remaining holes. During the filling process, the cavity can be completely filled by observing whether filling material flows out of the conduits in the remaining holes. Specifically, a one-way valve can be installed at the filling inlet to ensure unidirectional filling. Once filling is complete, the conduit and one-way valve can be removed.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the laminator is a double-chamber laminator, wherein the temperature of the first cavity is 65°C~70°C, and the temperature of the second cavity is 110°C~120°C; the vacuuming time is 5 min~20 min, for example, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, etc.; the curing time is 5 min~20 min, for example, 5 min, 10 min, 12 min, 15 min, 18 min, 20 min, etc.

[0056] In summary, the photovoltaic module manufacturing method provided by the present invention improves the structure of the cover and backsheets, so that after the cover and backsheets are stacked, the lower main surface of the cover and the upper main surface of the backsheet can directly contact each other, enclosing a hollow cavity for accommodating the battery array. Compared with the stacked structures with exposed sides in the prior art, this effectively improves the sealing of the photovoltaic module sides, avoiding problems such as water vapor erosion and delamination corrosion. At the same time, the battery array is sealed by the filling layer, further protecting the battery array.

After the dynamic and static mechanical loading tests, the module showed no breakage and no new hidden cracks.

[0072] It can be seen from the test results of the above-mentioned Examples 1 and 2 that the photovoltaic modules and the method for preparing photovoltaic modules provided by the embodiments of the present invention, while ensuring the battery performance, simultaneously improve the dynamic mechanical load and the static mechanical load, thereby effectively improving the airborne strength of the photovoltaic modules.
