TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to photovoltaic technology field especially a kind of film coating stringing structure and photovoltaic module of IBC no main grid photovoltaic cell. BACKGROUND
[0002] The existing back contact photovoltaic cell includes metal wrap through (MWT) photovoltaic cell and interdigitated back contact (IBC) photovoltaic cell, etc. Among them, the IBC photovoltaic cell is a back contact photovoltaic cell with positive and negative metal electrodes arranged in an interdigitated manner on the back of the cell. There is no grid line on the front of the cell, which effectively reduces optical loss and improves power generation efficiency. In the prior art, in the process of manufacturing IBC photovoltaic cells, to avoid the welding of the solder strip connecting two electrodes of different polarities at the same time, an insulating glue is usually printed on both ends of the fine grid. At the same time, in order to reduce the amount of silver paste used in the cell and save material costs, the main grid is omitted in the existing no main grid photovoltaic cell and photovoltaic module technology, and a low-temperature solder strip is used to connect the fine grid. The back of the IBC no main grid photovoltaic cell has a plurality of positive fine grids and a plurality of negative fine grids, which are arranged alternately and spaced apart. The low-temperature solder strip is perpendicular to the fine grid, and the intersection of the solder strip and the fine grid forms a welded conductor during lamination.
[0003] Although the existing IBC no main grid photovoltaic cell technology superimposes 0BB stringing module technology, it meets the demand for high efficiency of the cell and low cost of the module, but due to the large number of fine grids on the back, the solder strip and the fine grid not only need to meet the welding and conduction function of the conduction intersection of the solder strip and the fine grid of the same polarity, but also need to meet the insulation function requirement of the insulating intersection of the solder strip and the fine grid of different polarities. Simply printing insulating glue on the insulating intersection area of the back of the cell to form an insulating block cannot completely meet the functional and reliability requirements, and the conduction and insulation performance needs to be further considered and strengthened. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that the existing 0BB stringing technology of IBC photovoltaic cell cannot completely meet the functional and reliability requirements, and the conduction and insulation performance needs to be further considered and strengthened.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problem is: a film coating stringing structure of IBC no main grid photovoltaic cell, comprising:
[0006] The IBC no main grid photovoltaic cell has an insulating block on the back;
[0007] A solder strip;
[0008] The fixed adhesive film is bonded on the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell, and is used for pressing and fixing the solder strip under the fixed adhesive film on the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell.
[0009] In some embodiments, the size of the insulation hole is greater than the size of the insulation block.
[0010] In some embodiments, the fixed adhesive film is a composite film, which comprises an isolation film layer and a bonding adhesive film layer, the bonding adhesive film layer is located on the inner side of the isolation film layer, and is used for bonding the fixed adhesive film and the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell, the material of the isolation film layer is a non-flowing film material, which will not flow under the laminating process condition, and the material of the bonding adhesive film layer is a low-flowing adhesive material, which is used for avoiding the material of the bonding adhesive film layer and the encapsulation adhesive film from entering between the solder strip and the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell under the laminating condition.
[0011] A photovoltaic module comprises an encapsulation structure and an IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell string encapsulated in the encapsulation structure, the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell string is connected in series by adopting a film-coated series connection structure of an IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell, and the encapsulation structure comprises an encapsulation adhesive film, the encapsulation adhesive film is located on the outer side of the fixed adhesive film, and is used for encapsulating and bonding the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell string and other encapsulation structures, and the encapsulation adhesive film penetrates to the back of the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell through the insulation hole and covers the insulation block.
[0012] In some embodiments, the size of the insulation hole is greater than the size of the insulation block, so that the covering area of the encapsulation adhesive film, which penetrates to the back of the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell through the insulation hole, is greater than the insulation block.
[0013] The fixed adhesive film is bonded on the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell, and is used for pressing and fixing the solder strip under the fixed adhesive film on the IBC bus-bar-free photovoltaic cell.
[0014] Also because the fixed adhesive film adopts a composite film scheme, the outer isolation film layer can prevent the encapsulation adhesive film from penetrating, and the inner adhesive film layer has low fluidity, ensuring that the solder strip and the fine grid are conductive and reliable at the conductive intersection.
[0015] When the fixed adhesive film adopts a composite film scheme, the encapsulation adhesive film that penetrates through the insulation hole to the back of the IBC no-grid photovoltaic cell is directly crosslinked with the back of the IBC no-grid photovoltaic cell, preventing the delamination risk caused by the low fluidity of the adhesive film layer of the fixed adhesive film.
[0016] In summary, the utility model has the advantages of good insulation performance, delamination prevention, and reliable conduction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

The fixing film 3 is bonded and fixed to the IBC gridless photovoltaic cell 1 and is used to press and fix the solder ribbon 2 below the fixing film 3 to the IBC gridless photovoltaic cell 1. The fixing film has insulating holes 4 that correspond one-to-one with the insulating blocks 5. The size of the insulating holes 4 is larger than the size of the insulating blocks 5.
[0036] The IBC no master grid photovoltaic cell 1 is composed of a cell body and a fine grid 6 as a back electrode, the front surface of the cell body has a light receiving velvet surface 10, and the fine grid 6 on the back surface is classified into positive fine grid 6-1, interconnection positive grid 6-2, negative fine grid 6-3 and interconnection negative grid 6-4 according to functions. The positive fine grid 6-1 and the negative fine grid 6-3 are parallel to each other and arranged alternately and spaced, and are perpendicular to the solder strip 2; the interconnection positive grid 6-2 and the interconnection negative grid 6-4 each have one located on the side and connected to the positive fine grid 6-1 and the negative fine grid 6-3 respectively, and are parallel to the solder strip 2; the insulating blocks 5 are arranged on the fine grid 6, and the distribution characteristics are that the intersection point of the positive fine grid 6-1 and the negative solder strip, that is, the insulating intersection point, is printed with insulating glue to form the insulating block 5, and the intersection point of the negative fine grid 6-3 and the positive solder strip, that is, the insulating intersection point, is printed with insulating glue to form the insulating block 5; relative to the intersection point of the solder strip 2 and the fine grid 6, the insulating blocks 5 on the same fine grid 6 are distributed at intervals.

[0040] The packaging film 7 penetrates the insulating hole 4, penetrates the insulating block 5, covers and wraps the solder strip 2 and the insulating block 5, realizes the secondary insulation function, the packaging film 7 penetrating the IBC busbar-free photovoltaic cell 1 is crosslinked and bonded with the surface of the IBC busbar-free photovoltaic cell 1, which not only protects the insulating block 5, but also strengthens the encapsulation and bonding performance, is not easy to cause the fixed film 3 to delaminate, and also strengthens the welding performance of the solder strip 2 and the fine grid 6.
