Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to photovoltaic modules, specifically an HJT battery string and a photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] Heterojunction (HJT) solar cells are connected by welding ribbons. Currently, one end of the ribbon is welded to the front of the first cell, and the other end is directly welded to the back of the second cell. Due to thermal expansion and contraction, this structure cannot eliminate the stress between the ribbon and the cell, which can cause the cell to crack. Utility Model Content

[0005] The welding piece is a rectangle formed by extending outward from the body.

[0006] The notch is an isosceles triangle and is aligned with the center of the corresponding weld piece.

[0007] The front edge of the battery cell has a front notch and the back edge has a back notch. The front notch and the back notch are symmetrical. The solder strip extends from the front notch of the first battery cell to the back notch of the second battery cell.

[0008] The thickness of the front notch and the back notch is less than the thickness of the battery cell.

[0009] Both the front notch and the back notch are curved surfaces.

[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Figure 1 It is an HJT battery string, including battery cell 1 and solder strip 2.

[0026] Figure 2 This is a top view of the welding strip. The welding strip 2 is a long, flat strip. The welding strip 2 includes a front welding section 21, a transition section 22, and a back welding section 23 connected in sequence. Welding pieces 24 and notches 25 are provided on both sides of the front welding section 21 and the back welding section 23. Adjacent welding pieces 24 are staggered, and adjacent notches 25 are staggered. The notches 25 and the welding pieces 24 are positioned opposite each other. The front welding section 21 is welded to the front of the first battery cell 1 through the welding pieces 24 of this section, and the back welding section 23 is welded to the back of the second battery cell 1 through the welding pieces 24 of this section.

[0027] This invention features a welding strip on the welding strip 2, which is welded to the main grid of the battery cell. It also includes a notch to eliminate stress generated during welding, ensuring good welding results and minimal deformation of the welding strip.

[0028] The welding strip 24 is a rectangle extending outward from the body. In this embodiment, the rectangle is oblong, with its short side connected to the welding strip body.

[0029] The notch 25 is an isosceles triangle and is aligned with the center of the corresponding welding piece 24. In this embodiment, one notch corresponds to one welding piece, and the welding pieces and notches are evenly spaced, resulting in a tighter weld and better stress relief.

[0030] Figure 3 This is a side view of the battery cell. Figure 4 This is a side view of the connection between the battery cell and the solder ribbon. The front edge of the battery cell 1 has a front notch 11 and the back edge has a back notch 12. The front notch 11 and the back notch 12 are symmetrical. The solder ribbon 2 extends from the front notch 11 of the first battery cell 1 to the back notch 12 of the second battery cell 1.

[0031] Figure 3 The dashed lines in the middle represent the front notch 11 and the back notch 12. The front notch 11 and the back notch 12 are evenly distributed and correspond one-to-one with the welding position of the welding strip. This allows the welding strip to make better contact with the edge of the battery cell, prevents the welding strip from crushing the battery cell, and also effectively limits the welding strip to prevent it from deflecting.

[0032] The thickness of the front notch 11 and the back notch 12 is less than the thickness of the battery cell 1, and does not affect the strength of the battery cell.

[0033] Both the front notch 11 and the back notch 12 are arc-shaped surfaces, which can make good contact with the flat welding strip and prevent scratching the welding strip.

[0034] An HJT photovoltaic module, comprising an HJT cell string.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
