[0002] High-efficiency photovoltaic modules can generate more electricity within a limited area, thereby reducing the unit cost of power generation and improving the economic benefits and competitiveness of photovoltaic power generation.

[0003] However, most traditional photovoltaic cell modules adopt a design with main grid lines. The main grid lines are relatively thick on the surface of the cell. Although their main function is to collect current, they inevitably block some light, reducing the effective light-receiving area of ​​the cell and thus reducing the photoelectric conversion efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a heterojunction gridless battery module, which solves the problem in the prior art where the grid lines on the surface of the battery cell block some light, reducing the effective light-receiving area of ​​the battery.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] The fine grid lines are variable cross-section wires.

[0009] Preferably, the width of the cross-section of the fine grid line near the edge of the battery structure is greater than the width of the main cross-section.

[0010] Preferably, the cross-section of the fine grid line is triangular, triangular-like, trapezoidal, or trapezoidal.

[0011] Preferably, the fine grid lines intersect to form a mesh structure.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this technical solution clearer, the following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, further illustrates this technical solution. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this technical solution.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown:

[0029] Example 1: This utility model provides a heterojunction gridless solar cell module, comprising:

[0030] The protective frame 1 is equipped with a sealing mechanism 4 on its top.

[0031] Battery mechanism 2 is installed inside the protective frame 1;

[0032] The battery structure 2 includes a crystalline silicon substrate 201 located inside the protective frame 1, and intrinsic amorphous silicon layers 202 are mounted on the front and back sides of the crystalline silicon substrate 201.

[0033] A P-type amorphous silicon layer 203 is mounted on the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 202 on the front side of the crystalline silicon substrate 201, and an N-type amorphous silicon layer 204 is mounted on the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 202 on the back side of the crystalline silicon substrate 201.

[0034] The main grid electrode mechanism 3 is distributed on the front of several battery mechanisms 2;

[0035] The gridless electrode mechanism 3 includes several fine grid lines 301 distributed on the front side of the P-type amorphous silicon layer 203. The edges of the ends of each fine grid line 301 are connected by a busbar 302. The fine grid line 301 adopts a variable cross-section structure, with the cross-section of the fine grid line 301 near the edge of the battery mechanism 2 being increased.

[0036] In the design of the fine grid line 301, a variable cross-section structure is adopted to reduce resistance loss during current transmission. Preferably, the cross-section of the fine grid line 301 is triangular, triangular-like, trapezoidal, or trapezoidal, and the structure of the fine grid line 301 includes, but is not limited to, the above-mentioned cross-sectional shapes.

[0037] As can be seen from the above, the light first passes through the sealing mechanism 4 at the top of the protective frame 1. The sealing mechanism 4 not only plays a protective role, but also ensures that the light passes through smoothly to a certain extent. After the light enters, it reaches the battery mechanism 2. The crystalline silicon substrate 201 in the battery mechanism 2 starts to work under the action of the heterojunction structure composed of the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 202 and the P-type amorphous silicon layer 203 (front) and the intrinsic amorphous silicon layer 202 and the N-type amorphous silicon layer 204 (back). The light is absorbed by the crystalline silicon and excited to generate photogenerated carriers (electron-hole pairs). Due to the built-in electric field of the heterojunction, the photogenerated carriers are effectively separated. Electrons move to the N-type amorphous silicon layer 204 and holes move to the P-type amorphous silicon layer 203, completing the initial photoelectric conversion.

[0038] To efficiently collect and export these currents, the module employs a gridless electrode structure 3. This structure includes several fine grid lines 301 distributed on the front side of the P-type amorphous silicon layer 203. These fine grid lines 301 are closely arranged on the surface of the cell structure 2 to ensure that as much photogenerated current as possible can be captured. The end edge of each fine grid line 301 is connected by a bus bar 302. In this way, the current collected from each fine grid line 301 can be aggregated through the bus bar 302 and finally exported to the external circuit, thereby realizing the output of the electrical energy generated by the cell module to the electrical equipment or the power grid, completing the entire power generation process.

[0039] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown:

[0040] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned sealing mechanism 4, the sealing mechanism 4 includes a front cover plate 401 mounted on the top of the protective frame 1. A light-transmitting layer 403 is mounted on the front of the front cover plate 401, and several bolts 402 are distributed on the front of the front cover plate 401 surrounding the light-transmitting layer 403.

[0041] As can be seen from the above, after the bolt 402 passes through the front cover plate 401 and is connected to the protective frame 1, the front cover plate 401 can press and limit the edge parts of the battery mechanism 2 and the gridless electrode mechanism 3. After assembly, the light is guided through the light-transmitting layer 403.

[0042] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 As shown:

[0043] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned sealing mechanism 4, the light-transmitting layer 403 is made of ultra-white tempered glass with high light transmittance, and the top of the protective frame 1 is provided with screw holes corresponding to the bolts 402.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, compared with ordinary glass, the light-transmitting layer 403 made of ultra-white tempered glass with high light transmittance allows a large amount of light to pass through smoothly to the battery structure 2, greatly reducing the loss of light at the cover plate. Light is the basis of photovoltaic power generation. More light entering means that the battery structure 2 can absorb more energy and excite more photogenerated charge carriers, thereby providing a sufficient energy source for the photoelectric conversion of the battery structure 2. It can also maintain stable performance under different temperature and humidity conditions and will not deform, discolor or degrade due to long-term exposure to the natural environment.

[0045] The screw holes on the protective frame 1 provide a connection structure for the assembly of bolt 402, making assembly easier.

[0046] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown:

[0047] Specifically, regarding the aforementioned protective frame 1, an insulating isolation strip 5 surrounds the inner wall of the protective frame 1;

[0048] A junction box 6 is fitted on one side of the protective frame 1, and a connecting wire 7 is installed at the end of the junction box 6.

[0049] As can be seen from the above, the junction box 6 acts as a connector, leading out the current generated by the photovoltaic module through the terminal block and connector, and then guiding it into the electrical equipment such as the inverter or DC combiner box through the connecting wire 7, thereby completing the power transmission. The insulating isolation strip 5 can isolate and protect the battery mechanism 2 and the gridless electrode mechanism 3 from the protective frame 1.

[0050] As attached Figure 3 As shown:

[0051] Example 2: This example is basically the same as the previous example, except that a mounting base 8 is installed at the bottom of the protective frame 1, and a mounting hole is opened at the bottom of the mounting base 8.

[0052] As can be seen from the above, the mounting base 8 can provide a connection structure for the assembly of the protective frame 1 and the external structure during use. The mounting holes opened on the mounting base 8 can make the connection between the protective frame 1 and the external structure more stable.
