[0047] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
[0048] This application proposes a modulation film to solve the technical problem of unstable performance of internally matched power amplifiers at low frequencies in the prior art.
[0049] In an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the modulation film applied to the solar module includes an adhesive 10, a substrate 20, a first structure 30, and a first coating 40 stacked sequentially; incident light passes through the adhesive 10, the substrate 20, the first structure 30, and the first coating 40 sequentially before exiting. The solar module includes at least two spaced-apart solar cells; the modulation film is positioned on the same side as the incident light from the solar cells.
[0050] In this structure, the first structure 30 projects incident light onto the solar cell, and the first coating 40 is attached to the first structure 30 with a uniform thickness. The refractive index of the first coating 40 is different from that of the first structure 30.
[0051] The above solution involves setting a first structure 30 and a first coating 40, and placing the modulation film on the same side as the incident light surface of the solar cell, as shown in the reference. Figure 14 As shown, the modulation film can change the direction of incident light that is missed between two solar cells and transmit it back to the solar cells. By changing the path of the incident light through the different refractive index distribution of the modulation film, the total amount of incident light on the solar cells can be increased, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of solar energy by the photovoltaic module and further increasing the radiation intensity of solar cells of the same area, thus improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module and increasing power generation.
[0052] It should be noted that the first coating 40 serves to create a difference in refractive index between different materials. To prevent the structure from becoming filled and losing its effectiveness, it can be processed using methods such as vacuum deposition, spraying, or coating. In particular, the first coating 40 can also increase the adhesion strength between the first structure 30 and the subsequent second structure. In addition, the adhesive 10 is provided to facilitate the bonding of the film with other materials. In practice, films without adhesive 10 can also be produced separately, and the adhesive 10 can be applied during use.
[0053] During the processing of the first structure 30, the first structure 30 can be formed on the substrate 20 through three methods: hot pressing, UV pressing, and double curing pressing, by the mutual matching of materials. Among them, the hot pressing method requires the materials to have a relatively low processing temperature, such as 60-200℃. If the processing temperature is too high, the requirements for the heat resistance of other materials and the processing equipment will be higher.
[0054] In an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the modulation film also includes a second substrate 70 disposed on the first structure 30; the second substrate 70 is bonded to the first structure 30 through a first adhesive layer 80, and an air cavity 90 is formed between the first adhesive layer 80 and the first structure 30.
[0055] The air cavity 90 is formed because the fine structure of the first structure 30, such as rectangular, triangular, semi-circular, trapezoidal, or semi-elliptical, allows an air cavity to be formed between the first adhesive layer 80 and the first structure 30 when the smoothly extended first adhesive layer 80 is adhered to the first structure 30. This air cavity increases the refraction angle of the transmitted light from the first structure, thereby increasing the travel length of the incident light in the modulation film, increasing the number of incident light rays on the solar cell, and further increasing the radiation intensity of the incident light transmitted to each of the solar cells.
[0056] In an alternative embodiment, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the modulation film also includes a second structure 50 and a second coating 60 sequentially disposed on the first coating 40;
[0057] The second structure 50 is used to increase the angle of transmitted light transmitted by the first structure 30;
[0058] A second coating 60 is used to adhere to the second structure 50 with a uniform thickness, and the refractive index of the second coating 60 is different from that of the second structure 50.
[0059] Among them, reference Figures 4-7As shown, the second structure 50 is the main optical modulation structure of the optical modulation film. Its function is to transmit as much light as possible through the battery gap onto the battery. It not only needs to form a good transmission effect, but also needs to open the light at a sufficiently large angle so that it will not leak out from the gap again.
[0060] Furthermore, the second structure 50 can be processed in the following ways: through the mutual matching of materials, it can be formed on the substrate 20 by three methods: hot pressing, UV pressing, and double curing pressing. Among them, hot pressing requires the material to have a relatively low processing temperature, such as 60-200℃. If the processing temperature is too high, the requirements for the heat resistance of other materials and the processing equipment will be higher.
