[0038] The present disclosure provides a busbar comprising a conductive substrate and an insulating layer. The conductive substrate has an electrical contact surface, the electrical contact surface having an insulating isolation region and an electrical contact region, and the insulating layer is disposed in the insulating isolation region. A through-hole for accommodating a soldering ribbon is disposed in at least one of the insulating isolation region and the electrical contact region.

[0039] The busbar is provided with a conductive substrate and an insulating layer. The conductive substrate has an insulating isolation area covered by the insulating layer and an electrical contact area outside the insulating isolation area. When in use, the electrical contact area not covered by the insulating layer can directly contact the welding ribbon, thereby achieving conduction between the busbar and the welding ribbon. The insulating layer is used to prevent the conductive substrate from contacting the welding ribbon with opposite polarity, thereby playing a role in avoiding short circuits. The busbar is provided with an insulating layer on the conductive substrate, and the insulating layer is hidden under the conductive substrate, which can avoid the negative impact of the introduction of the insulating layer on the component efficiency and ensure the component efficiency. Furthermore, by providing a clearance groove on the insulating isolation area and / or the electrical contact area, the stress at the contact point between the busbar and the welding ribbon can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of fracturing of the solar cell.

[0040] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a cross-sectional structure of a bus bar 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 As shown, the busbar 100 includes a conductive substrate 110 and an insulating layer 120. The conductive substrate 110 has an electrical contact surface, and the insulating layer 120 is disposed on the electrical contact surface. The conductive substrate 110 has an insulating isolation region 1101 covered by the insulating layer 120, and an electrical contact region 1102 located outside the insulating isolation region 1101. A through groove 130 for accommodating a soldering ribbon is disposed in at least one of the insulating isolation region 1101 and the electrical contact region 1102.

[0041] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the area on the conductive substrate 110 covered by the insulating layer 120 is the insulating isolation area 1101 , and the area not covered by the insulating layer 120 is the electrical contact area 1102 .

[0042] Reference Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , as an example of this embodiment, both the insulating isolation region 1101 and the electrical contact region 1102 are provided with a clearance groove 130. The clearance groove 130 in the insulating isolation region 1101 is an insulating clearance groove, and the clearance groove 130 in the electrical contact region 1102 is an electrical contact clearance groove.

[0043] As an example of this embodiment, there are multiple insulating isolation regions 1101 and multiple electrical contact regions 1102, and the insulating isolation regions 1101 and the electrical contact regions 1102 are alternately arranged along the extension direction of the conductive substrate 110. It can be understood that an insulating layer 120 is correspondingly provided on each insulating isolation region 1101. The back of some back-contact solar cells is usually provided with multiple positive polarity welding ribbons and negative polarity welding ribbons, and the positive polarity welding ribbons and the negative polarity welding ribbons are alternately arranged. The conductive substrate 110 provided with multiple electrical contact regions 1102 can be electrically connected to multiple positive polarity welding ribbons or multiple negative polarity welding ribbons at the same time, and is insulated and isolated from the welding ribbons of opposite polarity by the insulating layer 120 to avoid short circuits.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the conductive substrate 110 includes a plurality of fitting portions 111 and a plurality of arched portions 112, the fitting portions 111 and the arched portions 112 are alternately arranged along the extension direction of the conductive substrate 110, and the portion of the electrical contact surface located within the arched portion 112 forms a clearance groove 130.

[0045] It can be understood that when the arched portion 112 is located in the insulating isolation area 1101, the clearance groove 130 surrounded by it serves as an insulating clearance groove; when the arched portion 112 is located in the electrical contact area 1102, the clearance groove 130 surrounded by it serves as an electrical contact clearance groove.

[0046] In actual use, the bonding portion 111 is used to bond with the surface of the solar cell between two adjacent welding strips to ensure that the bus bar 100 as a whole is tightly bonded to the solar cell.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the thickness of the arched portion 112 and the thickness of the fitting portion 111 can be the same or substantially the same, thereby maintaining the overall thickness of the conductive substrate 110 to be relatively uniform.

[0048] It will be appreciated that one side of the arched portion 112 is convex and the other side is concave. In this embodiment, the side located on the electrical contact surface is concave, while the other side, which faces away from the electrical contact surface, is convex, thereby forming a clearance slot 130. This design, which arches a portion of the conductive substrate 110, helps ensure that the overall conductivity of the conductive substrate 110 is substantially unaffected. Compared to other designs, this design also offers a relatively low level of process complexity.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the bonding portion 111 is disposed in the insulating isolation region 1101 of the conductive substrate 110 and is covered by the insulating layer 120. The design of the insulating layer 120 covering the bonding portion 111 helps ensure the flatness of the bonding portion 111 during use and reduces deformation of the conductive substrate 110.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that an arched portion 112 is provided on the insulating isolation region 1101 , and the arched portion 112 on the insulating isolation region 1101 and the two bonding portions 111 connected to both sides of the arched portion 112 are all covered by the insulating layer 120 .

[0051] Reference Figure 1 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the entire electrical contact region 1102 is configured as the arched portion 112 , a portion of the insulating isolation region 1101 is configured as the arched portion 112 , and another portion of the region is configured as the fitting portion 111 .

[0052] Reference Figure 1 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the conductive substrate 110 includes a conductive metal layer and a soldering metal layer that are stacked, and the soldering metal layer forms an electrical contact surface away from the surface of the conductive metal layer.

[0053] The conductive metal layer has better conductivity than the welding metal layer, and the welding metal layer may have a lower melting point so as to be easily welded to the surface of the welding strip during use.

[0054] In some examples, the conductive metal layer may be a copper metal layer or a copper alloy layer.

[0055] In some examples, the solder metal layer may be a tin metal layer or a tin alloy layer.

[0056] As an example of this embodiment, the insulating layer 120 is disposed on the electrical contact region 1102 by coating or adhering.

[0057] As an example of this embodiment, the insulating layer 120 may be an insulating adhesive layer or an insulating film. The insulating film may be, but is not limited to, a polymer film. The insulating adhesive layer may be, but is not limited to, a polymer adhesive layer.

[0058] In some examples, the polymer film may be a polyethylene terephthalate film or a polyimide film.

[0059] In some examples, the polymer adhesive layer may be an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer-containing adhesive layer.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the thickness of the insulating layer 120 is 0.1 mm to 5 mm.

[0061] In some examples, the thickness of the insulating layer 120 can be 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, or 5 mm, or the thickness of the insulating layer 120 can be between any two of the aforementioned thicknesses. Insulating layer 120 of such thickness helps ensure relatively stable insulation performance and also reduces the problem of increased strain on the solar cell caused by the introduction of the insulating layer 120.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the clearance groove 130 has a groove depth h along the extending direction perpendicular to the conductive substrate 110. As an example of this embodiment, the groove depth h of the clearance groove 130 is 0.01 mm to 1 mm.

[0063] In some examples, the depth h of the through-hole 130 is 0.01 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm, or 1 mm, or the depth of the through-hole 130 can be between any two of the above depths. A depth h of 0.01 mm to 1 mm for the through-hole 130 is more consistent with the height of the solder ribbon, effectively reducing stress while ensuring good electrical contact between the electrical contact area 1102 and the solder ribbon.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the clearance groove 130 has a groove width d along the extension direction of the conductive substrate 110. As an example of this embodiment, the groove width d of the clearance groove 130 is 0.01 mm to 1 mm.

[0065] In some examples, the width d of the clearance groove 130 is 0.01 mm, 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.9 mm, or 1 mm, or the width d of the clearance groove 130 can be between any two of the aforementioned widths. A width d of 0.01 mm to 1 mm is more suitable for the width dimension, which helps to accommodate the entire solder ribbon in the clearance groove 130 in the width direction, thereby preventing excessive compression and deformation between the solder ribbon and the bonding portion 111 of the conductive substrate 110.

[0066] It can be understood that, in the case where there are multiple through-holes 130 , the depths and widths of the through-holes 130 can be the same or different.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the clearance groove 130 includes two obliquely intersecting side walls. It can be understood that the cross-sections of the two side walls of the clearance groove 130 form a structure approximately in a "V" shape.

[0068] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a bus bar 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the busbar 200 includes a conductive substrate 210 and an insulating layer 220.

The conductive substrate 210 has an insulating isolation region 2101 covered by the insulating layer 220, and an electrical contact region 2102 located outside the insulating isolation region 2101. A through groove 230 for accommodating a soldering ribbon is disposed in at least one of the insulating isolation region 2101 and the electrical contact region 2102.

[0069] Reference Figure 2 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the conductive substrate 210 includes a plurality of fitting portions 211 and a plurality of arched portions 212. The fitting portions 211 and the arched portions 212 are alternately arranged along the extension direction of the conductive substrate 210. The surface of the arched portion 212 located on the electrical contact surface forms a clearance groove 230.

[0070] Reference Figure 2 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the clearance groove 230 includes two side walls and a flat bottom wall, the bottom wall is located between the two side walls and intersects with the two side walls. In this embodiment, the cross section of the clearance groove 230 is a trapezoidal structure.

[0071] I understand. Figure 2 The bus bar 200 shown is connected to Figure 1 The main difference of the busbar 100 shown is the shape of the relief slot 230 and the arched portion 212 . Figure 2 For other structures of the bus bar 200, please refer to Figure 1 The bus bar 100 shown is configured accordingly and will not be described in detail here.

The conductive substrate 310 has an electrical contact surface, and the insulating layer 320 is disposed on the electrical contact surface. The conductive substrate 310 has an insulating isolation region 3101 covered by the insulating layer 320, and an electrical contact region 3102 located outside the insulating isolation region 3101. A through groove 330 for accommodating a soldering ribbon is disposed in at least one of the insulating isolation region 3101 and the electrical contact region 3102.

[0073] Reference Figure 3As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the conductive base 310 includes a plurality of adhesion portions 311 and a plurality of arch portions 312, the adhesion portions 311 and the arch portions 312 are arranged alternately along the extension direction of the conductive base 310, and the surface of the arch portions 312 on the electrical contact surface encloses the clearance groove 330.

[0074] Referring to Figure 3 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the clearance groove 330 includes a groove wall in an arc shape.

[0075] It can be understood that Figure 3 The bus bar 300 shown is mainly different from the bus bar 100 shown in Figure 1 in the shape of the clearance groove 330 and the arch portions 312. Figure 3 The other structures of the bus bar 300 shown can be arranged correspondingly with reference to the bus bar 100 shown in Figure 1 and will not be described here.

[0076] Further, the present disclosure also provides a photovoltaic module.

Referring to Figure 4 As shown, the photovoltaic module includes a solar cell 400, a first solder strip 410, a second solder strip 420, and a bus bar 100 as shown in Figure 1 .

[0077] Referring to Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the first solder strip 410 and the second solder strip 420 are respectively soldered to two kinds of electrodes with opposite polarities in the solar cell 400. For example, the first solder strip 410 is soldered to the positive electrode of the solar cell 400, and the second solder strip 420 is soldered to the negative electrode of the solar cell 400.

Referring to Figure 4 , an enlarged structural schematic diagram of area A in FIG. 10B. Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, as an example of this embodiment, the bus bar 100 has a plurality of bus bars, wherein the electrical contact area 1102 of part of the bus bars 100 is electrically contacted to the first solder strip 410 and the insulating isolation area 1101 thereof is arranged on the second solder strip 420, and the electrical contact area 1102 of another part of the bus bars 100 is electrically contacted to the second solder strip 420 and the insulating isolation area 1101 thereof is arranged on the first solder strip 410.

[0078] It can be understood that the electrical contact area 1102 of the bus bar 100 can be electrically contacted to the first solder strip 410 by soldering. The insulating isolation area 1101 of the bus bar is insulated and spaced from the second solder strip 420 by an insulating layer 120.
