[0029] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The photovoltaic module 100 of the embodiment of the present application comprises a panel 10, a back panel 20, a cell sheet layer 30, and a first encapsulation adhesive film layer 40. The back panel 20 is arranged in layers with the panel 10, the cell sheet layer 30 is located between the panel 10 and the back panel 20, and the first encapsulation adhesive film layer 40 is located between the cell sheet layer 30 and the panel 10. A color layer 50 is arranged between the panel 10 and the first encapsulation adhesive film layer 40. The color layer 50 is a light-transmitting layer. The panel 10 is provided with a concave-convex structure 60 on the side facing away from the first encapsulation adhesive film layer 40.
[0030] In this way, the concave-convex structure 60 can reduce the reflection of sunlight on the panel 10, thereby increasing the amount of incident sunlight, increasing the amount of solar power generation, and reducing the phenomenon of building light pollution. In addition, the color layer 50 can increase the color brightness of the panel 10, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance of the photovoltaic module 100.
[0031] Specifically, the photovoltaic module 100 refers to the smallest indivisible photovoltaic cell combination device that can provide direct current output independently after encapsulation and internal connection, and is a device capable of converting light energy into electrical energy. There are many materials that can produce photovoltaic effects, such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, gallium arsenide, and selenium indium copper, etc. When light shines on the surface of the photovoltaic module 100, a part of the photons is absorbed by the silicon material, and the energy of the photons is transferred to the silicon atoms, causing the electrons to jump and become free electrons, which are accumulated on both sides of the P-N junction to form a potential difference. When the external circuit is connected, under the action of the voltage, current will flow through the external circuit to generate a certain output power.
[0032] The cell sheet layer 30 can receive light and convert solar energy into electrical energy. The panel 10 is located on the front side of the cell sheet layer 30, and the back panel 20 is located on the back side of the cell sheet layer 30. The front side of the cell sheet layer 30 refers to the main light-receiving surface of the cell sheet layer 30, and the back side is the surface opposite to the front side of the cell sheet layer 30.
[0033] The panel 10 and the backboard 20 constitute the outermost layer of the photovoltaic module 100, which can seal, insulate and protect the cell sheet layer 30, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the photovoltaic module 100. The panel 10 and the backboard 20 can protect the cell sheet layer 30 from damage caused by climate change, such as high temperature, low temperature, rain or hail, etc. to the cell sheet layer 30, and can also protect the cell sheet layer 30 from damage caused by collision during transportation, thereby effectively improving the ability of the photovoltaic module 100 to cope with harsh environments.
[0034] The color layer 50 can be formed on the surface of the panel 10 close to the first encapsulating adhesive film layer 40 by coating, silk printing, digital printing and other processes. The concave-convex structure 60 can be an irregular concave-convex structure or a regular concave-convex structure. The cell sheet layer 30 and the panel 10 can be connected and fixed by the first encapsulating adhesive film layer 40, realizing the lamination and packaging of the cell sheet layer 30 and the panel 10, and forming a stable and reliable structure. In addition, the first encapsulating adhesive film layer 40 can play a buffering role between the panel 10 and the cell sheet layer 30 to prevent breakage caused by lamination. The first encapsulating adhesive film layer 40 can be made of one of EVA or POE materials or EPE materials.
[0035] In some embodiments, the concave-convex structure 60 is a frosted concave-convex structure 60.
[0036] The frosted concave-convex structure 60 makes the panel 10 form a fine concave-convex surface structure, further improves the amount of sunlight, increases the power generation of solar energy, reduces the reflection of sunlight, and reduces the phenomenon of building light pollution.
[0037] Specifically, the frosted concave-convex structure 60 can be formed on the surface of the panel 10 away from the first encapsulating adhesive film layer 40 by a frosted process.
[0038] In some embodiments, the light transmittance of the panel 10 is greater than the light transmittance of the color layer 50.
[0039] In this way, the sunlight can pass through the panel 10 to reach the color layer 50, and the color layer 50 can normally receive light from the panel 10, reducing the influence on the power generation effect of the cell sheet layer 30.
[0040] Specifically, the panel 10 can be made of a light-transmitting material, such as glass or a high-molecular material such as polycarbonate. When the light transmittance of the color layer 50 is 80%, the light transmittance of the panel 10 can be 85%, 90%, 95%, etc.
[0041] In some embodiments, the panel 10 is one of a PET plate, a CPC plate and an HPC plate.
[0042] Therefore, the panel 10 has good light transmittance, and the color layer 50 can normally receive light from the panel 10. In addition, the panel 10 is made of a flexible polymer material, which can reduce the weight of the panel 10 and can be bent into different shapes to meet different design requirements. In addition, the selection of the battery sheet layer 30 can improve the power generation efficiency.
[0043] Specifically, the panel 10 can be a flat surface or a curved surface. The panel 10 can be cut into a suitable shape and size by using off-line cutting machines in the workshop according to the purchased panel 10 product materials.
[0044] In some embodiments, the light transmittance of the back plate 20 is less than that of the color layer 50.
[0045] Therefore, the transmittance of the back plate 20 to the sunlight from the color layer 50 can be reduced, thereby improving the utilization rate of the sunlight.
[0046] Specifically, the back plate 20 can be a dark back plate 20, for example, the back plate 20 is a black back plate 20. The back plate 20 can be black as a whole, or the side of the back plate 20 facing the battery sheet layer 30 can be black. When the light transmittance of the color layer 50 is 80%, the light transmittance of the back plate 20 can be 65%, 70%, 75%, etc.
[0047] In some embodiments, the thickness of the panel 10 is 0.18-0.3 mm; and / or, the thickness of the back plate 20 is 0.18-0.4 mm.
[0048] Therefore, by limiting the thickness of the panel 10 and the back plate 20 within the above range, the strength of the panel 10 and the back plate 20 can meet the requirements and can meet the protection requirements of the battery sheet layer 30.
[0049] Specifically, the thickness of the panel 10 can be a point value of any one of 0.18-0.3 mm or a range value between any two of them. For example, the thickness of the panel 10 is 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.24 mm, 0.26 mm, 0.28 mm, or 0.3 mm.
[0050] The thickness of the back plate 20 can be a point value of any one of 0.18-0.4 mm or a range value between any two of them. For example, the thickness of the back plate 20 is 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.24 mm, 0.26 mm, 0.28 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.32 mm, 0.34 mm, 0.36 mm, 0.38 mm, or 0.4 mm.
[0051] The thickness of the face plate 10 and the back plate 20 can be the same or different. For example, the thickness of the face plate 10 and the back plate 20 is 0.24 mm, or the thickness of the face plate 10 is 0.27 mm and the thickness of the back plate 20 is 0.32 mm.
[0052] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cell sheet layer 30 includes a plurality of cell strings 31 connected in series, each cell string 31 including a plurality of cell sheets 32, and all cell sheets 32 in each cell string 31 are connected in series by a solder strip 33.
[0053] In this way, the plurality of cell sheets 32 connected in series can improve the efficiency of the cell sheet layer 30, thereby improving the utilization rate of solar energy.
[0054] Specifically, the cell sheet 32 is preferably one of XBC, MWT, and shingled metal-free busbar, and the positive and negative metal electrodes are extracted from the back. The second preferred cell sheet 32 is a cell sheet with busbars on both the front and back, such as one of PERC, TOPCON, and HJT. In this way, the appearance of the cell sheet layer 30 can be kept consistent, and the metal busbar and metal electrode can avoid affecting the front appearance of the cell sheet layer 30, thereby improving the aesthetic appearance.
[0055] The plurality of cell sheets 32 connected in series can be a plurality of complete cell sheets 32 connected in series, a plurality of 1 / 2 cell sheets 32 connected in series, a plurality of 1 / 3 cell sheets 32 connected in series, or a plurality of 1 / 4 cell sheets 32 connected in series.
[0056] In one embodiment, the cell sheet layer 30 includes 3 cell strings 31 connected in series, each cell string 31 including 12 1 / 2 cell sheets 32 connected in series, and the power section of the cell sheet layer 30 is between 100 W and 110 W.
[0057] In another embodiment, the cell sheet layer 30 includes 6 cell strings 31 connected in series to form a cell string 31 group, each cell string 31 including 12 1 / 2 cell sheets 32 connected in series, and 2 cell string 31 groups are connected in parallel, and the power section of the cell sheet layer 30 is between 200 W and 210 W.
[0058] The solder strip 33 is used to electrically connect the plurality of cell sheets 32, and the solder strip 33 can be made of silver, tin, or alloy conductive material to improve the conductivity of the solder strip 33. The plurality of cell sheets 32 can be arranged in a flat manner or in a stacked manner.
[0059] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the solder strip 33 comprises a plurality of first solder segments 34 and at least one second solder segment 35, the first solder segments 34 are connected with the corresponding one of the battery pieces 32, and the second solder segment 35 connects two adjacent first solder segments 34 in the first direction D1, the second solder segment 35 is located between the two adjacent battery pieces 32 and across the lamination area 36 of the two adjacent battery pieces 32, and the second solder segment 35 is in a flat shape.
[0060] In this way, the second solder segment 35 is located between the two adjacent battery pieces 32 and across the lamination area 36 of the two adjacent battery pieces 32, and the second solder segment 35 is in a flat shape, so that the contact area between the second solder segment 35 and the battery pieces 32 is increased, the pressure on the battery pieces 32 is reduced, and the defects such as cracks of the battery pieces 32 are reduced.
[0061] Specifically, the first solder segments 34 of the solder strip 33 can be soldered with the battery pieces 32, and the number of the second solder segments 35 is one less than the number of the first solder segments 34, for example, when the number of the first solder segments 34 is 2, the number of the second solder segments 35 is 1. The first solder segments 34 and the second solder segments 35 can be in an integrated structure.
[0062] The lamination area 36 of the two adjacent battery pieces 32 refers to an area where the two adjacent battery pieces 32 have an overlapping area. The second solder segment 35 across the lamination area 36 means that the ends of the second solder segment 35 in the first direction D1 both extend out of the lamination area 36. The second solder segment 35 in a flat shape means that the width of the second solder segment 35 is greater than the height of the second solder segment 35.
[0063] It should be noted that the surface of the second solder segment 35 with the largest area faces the battery pieces 32 or is in contact with the battery pieces 32. The first direction D1 can be the direction in which all the battery pieces 32 in each battery string 31 are arranged in series.
[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the photovoltaic module 100 comprises a second encapsulation film layer 70, and the second encapsulation film layer 70 is located between the battery piece layer 30 and the backboard 20.
[0065] In this way, the backboard 20 and the battery piece layer 30 can be connected and fixed through the second encapsulation film layer 70, the lamination and encapsulation of the backboard 20 and the battery piece layer 30 are realized, and a stable and reliable structure is formed. In addition, the second encapsulation film layer 70 can play a buffering role between the backboard 20 and the battery piece layer 30, preventing the lamination from causing broken pieces. The second encapsulation film layer 70 is made of one of EVA or POE materials or EPE materials. The material of the first encapsulation film layer 40 and the material of the second encapsulation film layer 70 can be the same or different.
[0066] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first encapsulant film layer 40 and / or the second encapsulant film layer 70 is 0.3mm-0.7mm.
[0067] When the thickness of the first encapsulant film layer 40 and / or the second encapsulant film layer 70 is too thin, reliable adhesion between the panel 10 and the cell sheet layer 30 and between the backboard 20 and the cell sheet layer 30 cannot be achieved; when the thickness of the first encapsulant film layer 40 and / or the second encapsulant film layer 70 is too thick, the performance of the photovoltaic module 100 will be affected. By limiting the thickness of the first encapsulant film layer 40 and / or the second encapsulant film layer 70 within the above range, reliable adhesion between the panel 10 and the cell sheet layer 30 and between the backboard 20 and the cell sheet layer 30 is achieved while the performance of the photovoltaic module 100 is ensured.
[0068] Specifically, the thickness of the first encapsulant film layer 40 and / or the second encapsulant film layer 70 can be a point value of any one of 0.3mm-0.7mm or a range value between any two of them. For example, the thickness of the first encapsulant film layer 40 is 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, etc., and the thickness of the second encapsulant film layer 70 is 0.35mm, 0.45mm, 0.55mm, 0.65mm, etc. The thickness of the first encapsulant film layer 40 and the thickness of the second encapsulant film layer 70 can be the same or different.
