Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic module technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency Top-con lightweight module. Background Technology
[0002] The photovoltaic industry is currently facing technical challenges in improving photovoltaic cell conversion efficiency, reducing production costs, and achieving lightweight modules. Traditional lightweight modules typically use tempered glass or transparent backsheets as encapsulation materials. While these reduce weight to some extent, they still suffer from insufficient flexibility, poor hail impact resistance, and low weather resistance, making them unsuitable for complex applications such as corrugated steel roofs, RV roofs, and curved surfaces. Meanwhile, as the advantages of PERC cell technology gradually diminish, photovoltaic cells are upgrading from P-type to N-type technology, with Top-con cells becoming the mainstream solution due to their contact passivation system and lower mass production costs. However, Top-con cells place higher demands on humid and hot environments, the stability of the encapsulation film, and the corrosion resistance of the grid lines. A reliability impact analysis report released by Chint New Energy shows that moisture penetration accounts for 25% of Top-con module failures, encapsulation film degradation for 20%, grid line corrosion for 40%, and rework issues for 15%, demonstrating the crucial importance of encapsulation material selection for module reliability.
[0003] Therefore, developing a packaging structure with high water resistance, excellent resistance to damp heat, good mechanical strength and lightweight properties has become the key to solving the reliability problem of Top-con components and improving their application adaptability. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a high-efficiency Top-con lightweight component, comprising a top composite front panel layer, a bottom aluminum-containing metal backplate, and a Top-con battery layer between the composite front panel layer and the aluminum-containing metal backplate. The top surface of the Top-con battery layer is bonded to the CPC material barrier front panel layer through a second adhesive film layer. The top surface of the CPC material barrier front panel layer is bonded to the composite front panel layer through a first adhesive film layer. The bottom surface of the Top-con battery layer is bonded to the top surface of the glass fiber reinforcement layer through a third adhesive film layer. The bottom surface of the glass fiber reinforcement layer is bonded to the aluminum-containing metal backplate through a fourth adhesive film layer.
[0006] The composite front panel is formed by bonding a fluorinated polyvinylidene fluoride film and a KPF polymer substrate with an adhesive.
[0007] The fiberglass reinforcement layer includes a fiberglass material layer, a fluorinated air coating on the top surface of the fiberglass material layer, and a fluorinated EVA coating on the bottom surface of the fiberglass material layer.

[0009] The layers are stacked sequentially to form the main body of the high-efficiency Top-con lightweight component. The outer edge of the main body of the high-efficiency Top-con lightweight component is provided with a frame. The frame is made of polyurethane and fiberglass resin composite molding material. The frame has two long sides and two short sides. The long sides and short sides are connected by corner brackets. The corner brackets are fixed and limited by several anti-slip protrusions. The inner side of the frame is provided with a U-shaped groove to accommodate the main body of the high-efficiency Top-con lightweight component.

[0014] The fourth film layer is a co-extruded EPE film with a thickness of 0.25mm-0.4mm.
[0015] Advantages of this utility model:
[0016] (1) Through the multi-layer structure design of composite front panel layer, flexible film layer and barrier front panel layer, the flexible film layer provides good buffering effect and can effectively absorb external impact force, while the composite front panel layer provides necessary mechanical reinforcement protection, so that the module maintains a stable structure under complex curved surfaces and dynamic loads. At the same time, this design significantly improves the flexibility and impact resistance of the module, and can adapt to complex curved surfaces and special installation environments.
[0017] (2) A combination design of high water-resistant pure POE film, fluorine-coated CPC barrier layer and composite front panel layer is adopted to form a highly efficient water vapor barrier system, which effectively reduces the penetration of moisture through the encapsulation layer into the battery layer and prevents grid line corrosion and electrical performance degradation caused by moisture penetration. In addition, the high water resistance and humid heat stability significantly improve the long-term reliability of the module under harsh climatic conditions such as high temperature and high humidity, delay material aging, and ensure the encapsulation stability of Top-con cells.
[0018] (3) By selecting a lightweight composite front panel, a glass fiber reinforcement layer, and an aluminum-containing metal back panel, significant weight reduction of the component structure is achieved. On this basis, combined with a lightweight frame made of polyurethane and glass fiber resin composite material and an optimized design of the sealant, the overall structure significantly reduces weight while ensuring strength, meeting the needs of weight-sensitive installation scenarios.
[0019] (4) Through the multi-layer composite design of high-performance materials such as fluorine-containing coating, glass fiber reinforcement layer and metal backsheet, the module has excellent weather resistance and mechanical strength, which can effectively resist the influence of extreme external environment. In addition, the fluorine-containing coating provides excellent UV aging resistance and corrosion resistance, further extending the service life of the module and ensuring stable power output and structural integrity in long-term outdoor applications.
[0020] (5) By selecting high-performance POE film, CPC barrier front panel layer and glass fiber reinforcement layer and other functional encapsulation materials, each material has a specific function, such as water vapor barrier, mechanical reinforcement, corrosion resistance and heat resistance stability. The scientific combination of multi-layer materials solves the problems of water vapor permeation, film degradation and grid line corrosion that are easy to occur in traditional encapsulation materials, comprehensively improves the encapsulation reliability of Top-con lightweight modules, and ensures that the modules have excellent electrical performance stability and safety in use during long-term operation.
