Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of solar cell technology, and more particularly to a TOPCon cell and photovoltaic module. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, TOPCon cells have developed very rapidly, with a market share exceeding 60%. Cellular cells can reduce current, thereby effectively reducing heat loss within the module caused by high current and further increasing module power. Photovoltaic module products are mainly represented by half-cell modules and shingled modules; both technologies require cutting a whole cell into cellular segments before connecting them in series and parallel.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream slicing technology uses laser-based non-destructive slicing. Laser-based non-destructive slicing involves precisely controlling heating and localized auxiliary cooling with a laser to create a large temperature gradient in the silicon wafer. This generates thermal stress in the material up to the fracture threshold, initiating cracks. The cracks propagate along the thermal gradient caused by the laser beam path, and finally, mechanical slicing completes the slicing process. To precisely control the crack trajectory, when the laser heats the front side of the cell, an extremely small notch must be machined at each end of the front side, ensuring that fracture propagation begins and ends at the notch. However, the resulting fracture surface exhibits an excessively high recombination rate of charge carriers, significantly impacting cell performance.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content is not necessarily prior art, nor is it intended to limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a TOPCon battery and photovoltaic module to solve or alleviate one or more of the technical problems mentioned above.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a TOPCon battery, which has a front side and a back side disposed opposite to each other. The back side includes a continuously disposed cleaved region and a non-cleaved region. The non-cleaved region has a passivation contact structure, while the cleaved region does not. This first aspect of the application can eliminate cleaving damage. Because the cleaved region lacks a passivation contact structure, physical damage to the passivation contact structure on the back side caused by laser cleaving can be avoided, significantly reducing passivation loss (reducing pFF decrease) and carrier recombination at the fracture surface. Furthermore, it can suppress crack propagation because the reduced film layer stacking in the cleaved region effectively releases local stress and prevents efficiency degradation caused by lateral crack propagation during mechanical cleaving.

[0007] A second aspect of this application provides a photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic module comprising a half-cell, the half-cell being formed by laser non-destructive cleaving of the TOPCon cell described in the first aspect of this application; the photovoltaic module is a half-cell module or a shingled module. Therefore, because the conversion efficiency of a TOPCon cell after cleaving is higher than that of a conventionally cleaved TOPCon cell, the power gain of the half-cell module or shingled module can be enhanced.

[0020] In this article, TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) battery refers to a tunnel oxide passivated contact battery.

[0021] This application provides a TOPCon cell and photovoltaic module technical solution. Based on this, the recombination rate of charge carriers on the fracture surface formed after cleaving is reduced, as detailed below.

[0022] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0023] The first aspect of this application provides a TOPCon battery.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the TOPCon battery has a front and a back side arranged opposite to each other. The back side includes a continuously arranged cleaved region 11 and a non-cleaved region. The non-cleaved region has a passivation contact structure, while the cleaved region does not. In a first aspect, this application's embodiments can eliminate cleaving damage. Because the cleaved region lacks a passivation contact structure, physical damage to the passivation contact structure on the back side caused by laser cleaving can be avoided, significantly reducing passivation loss (reducing pFF decrease) and carrier recombination at the fracture surface. Furthermore, crack propagation can be suppressed because the reduced film layer stacking in the cleaved region effectively releases local stress and prevents efficiency degradation caused by lateral crack propagation during mechanical cleaving.

[0025] In an optional embodiment, in this TOPCon battery, the cleaved region 11 has a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge disposed opposite to each other, and the distance between the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge is 40μm to 500μm. For example, the distance between the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge can be 40μm, 100μm, 200μm, 300μm, 400μm, or 500μm. Thus, the area between the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge is the cleaved region, which can be the area where the laser cleaving split line is located.

[0026] Preferably, the symmetry line of the cleavage region is the splitting line.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the cross-section of the cleaved region in this TOPCon battery is rectangular. This facilitates fabrication and shaping.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the passivation contact structure in this TOPCon cell includes a stacked tunneling layer and doped polycrystalline silicon. This allows for good surface passivation and selective carrier transport.

[0029] Furthermore, depending on the substrate type, doped polycrystalline silicon can be phosphorus-doped polycrystalline silicon (n... + -poly-Si) or boron-doped polycrystalline silicon (p + -poly-Si).

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the TOPCon battery may include: The N-type silicon substrate 5 has a front side and a back side disposed opposite to each other, the back side including a continuously disposed cleaving region 11 and a non-cleaving region; thereby facilitating cleaving.

[0031] A tunneling layer 6 is stacked on the non-cracked region of the N-type silicon substrate 5. Thus, the tunneling layer 6, located on the non-cracked region, provides both carrier tunneling and avoids passivation losses in the cracked region 11 caused by the presence of the tunneling layer 6. Optionally, the tunneling layer 6 can be a SiO2 layer, and its thickness can be 1 nm to 2 nm.

[0032] Phosphorus-doped polysilicon 7 is stacked on the side of the tunneling layer 6 away from the N-type silicon substrate 5. Thus, the phosphorus-doped polysilicon 7 is located in the non-cracked region, providing both field passivation and avoiding passivation loss in the cracked region 11 caused by the presence of the phosphorus-doped polysilicon 7. Optionally, the thickness of the phosphorus-doped polysilicon 7 can be 80 nm to 200 nm, for example, 80 nm, 120 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, etc. This balances passivation and optical loss.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the TOPCon battery further includes: A second passivation layer 8 is stacked on the side of the phosphorus-doped polysilicon 7 away from the tunneling layer 6, and also stacked on the cleaved region of the N-type silicon substrate 5; thereby enhancing passivation. For example, the second passivation layer 8 is an aluminum oxide layer with a thickness of 1.5 nm to 3 nm.

[0034] A second antireflective film 9 is stacked on the side of the second passivation layer 8 away from the N-type silicon substrate 5. This serves for back-side antireflection and passivation. For example, the second antireflective film 9 is a silicon nitride layer with a thickness of 60 nm to 80 nm.

[0035] A back electrode 10 is provided, one end of which is in contact with the phosphorus-doped polycrystalline silicon 7. This reduces carrier recombination caused by direct contact between the metal and the N-type silicon substrate 5.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, in the TOPCon cell, the front side of the N-type silicon substrate 5 is sequentially stacked with boron-doped polycrystalline silicon 4, a first passivation layer 3, and a first antireflection film 2 in a first direction; the first direction is from the N-type silicon substrate 5 to a direction away from the N-type silicon substrate 5. Thus, the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon 4 is used to form a pn junction on the surface of the N-type silicon substrate 5 to achieve the separation of photogenerated carriers, the first passivation layer 3 is used to passivate the front side, and the first antireflection film 2 is used for antireflection and passivation of the back side.

[0037] Optionally, the first passivation layer 3 can be an aluminum oxide layer, and the thickness of the aluminum oxide layer can be 1.5 nm to 3 nm.

[0038] Optionally, the first antireflective film 2 is a silicon nitride layer, and the thickness of the silicon nitride layer is 60nm to 80nm.

[0039] Optionally, the thickness of the boron-doped polycrystalline silicon 4 is 300 nm to 800 nm.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the TOPCon cell also includes a top electrode 1, which is located on the front side of the cell and is in contact with boron-doped polycrystalline silicon 4.

[0041] It is understood that in the embodiments of this application, "front" refers to the side facing the light and "back" refers to the side facing away from the light.

[0042] A second aspect of this application provides a photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic module comprising a half-cell, the half-cell being formed by laser non-destructive cleaving of the TOPCon cell described in the first aspect; the photovoltaic module is a half-cell module or a shingled module. Therefore, because the conversion efficiency of TOPCon cells after cleaving is higher than that of conventionally cleaved TOPCon cells, the power gain of the half-cell module or shingled module can be enhanced.

[0043] It's worth noting that half-cell modules involve cutting a complete solar cell in half, optimizing the series and parallel connection design to reduce resistance loss, and improving module power and hot spot resistance. Shingled modules, on the other hand, involve cutting the solar cell into 5-6 thin strips, interconnecting them with conductive adhesive layers to reduce grid line shading and improve module efficiency. Laser-based non-destructive cleaving can be used for this purpose.

[0044] The following section will conduct performance tests on the structure of the TOPCon battery provided in the embodiments of this application and related comparative examples.

[0078] The half-cell batteries of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to IV tests, and the specific data are shown in Table 1.

[0079] Table 1:

[0080] As can be seen from Table 1 above, the half-cell cell of Example 1 is superior to that of Comparative Example 1. This is because the TOPCon cell of Example 1 does not have a tunneling layer and a polycrystalline silicon layer in the cleavage area on the back, which can effectively eliminate cleavage damage and thus enable the cleavage to maintain a high efficiency.
