[0001] MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR NEW GENERATION PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL

[0002] TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The invention relates to a manufacturing method for a new generation cell or panel developed to be used instead of solar cells in photovoltaic energy production in solar panels.

[0004] BACKGROUND ART

[0005] A photovoltaic cell is a device that converts sunlight directly into electrical energy. It is also known as a solar cell. Photovoltaic cells are made of semiconductor materials and are usually silicon-based.

[0006] Photovoltaic cells utilize the photovoltaic effect, a phenomenon that uses the energy of sunlight to move electrons to produce electric current. These cells have a structure called a P-N junction for the separation of positive and negative charges and the generation of electric current.

[0007] In a P-N junction, the P-type semiconductor layer contains positive charge carriers (holes) and the N-type semiconductor layer contains negative charge carriers (electrons). When sunlight falls on the cell, the energy of the sunlight through the photovoltaic effect releases electrons and an electric current is generated.

[0008] Photovoltaic cells are often combined together for the production of electrical energy, using them as solar panels. Many photovoltaic cells are combined to produce higher voltage and current, either in a single panel or connected in an array. These solar panels can be used to generate electricity in homes, businesses and other applications by converting solar energy into electrical energy. Photovoltaic cells are considered a clean, renewable energy source and are a key component of solar energy systems. They provide an environmentally friendly energy source by generating electrical energy from sunlight through solar panels.

[0009] A photovoltaic panel is a system created by combining photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight into electrical energy. They are also referred to as solar panels. Photovoltaic panels are usually manufactured in various sizes and power levels.

[0010] A photovoltaic panel is made up of multiple photovoltaic cells. These cells are usually made of silicon-based semiconductor materials. The cells are covered with a thin layer of glass or plastic, which allows sunlight to pass through while protecting the cells from environmental effects.

[0011] Photovoltaic panels use the photovoltaic effect, which converts sunlight directly into electrical energy. When sunlight falls on the panels, solar energy is converted into electrical energy with the semiconductor material in the photovoltaic cells. In this way, solar panels use the solar energy to generate electricity.

[0012] Photovoltaic panels are used in many different applications, such as in homes, businesses, industrial plants and spacecraft. Solar panels are considered a clean and renewable source of energy and play an important role in reducing dependence on the use of fossil fuels.

[0013] Photovoltaic panels are often the main component of solar energy systems. Multiple panels are brought together to form a solar energy system. These systems can be used to meet the electricity needs of homes or businesses. They can also be used to meet electricity needs in off-grid or remote areas.

[0014] There are some problems with manufacturing methods in the known state of the art. The manufacturing technology of currently available cells is expensive and difficult. First the silica is purified from the sand. This requires a high-temperature oven. Cutting with diamond wires is both time-consuming and high-tech. It is then necessary to use polishing technology and equip it with transmission wires. Our country has foreign dependency in this field. On top of that, the coating used in the known state of the art is very difficult to lay and is thin.

[0015] Some relevant patent applications available in the state of the art are given below: US Patent 9,204,421 : "Methods of Manufacturing Thin-Film Photovoltaic Modules". This patent application discloses methods for manufacturing thin-film photovoltaic modules. It includes the steps such as the semiconductor layer, electrical connections and protective coating.

[0016] US Patent 8,617,287: "Method for Manufacturing a Solar Cell Module". This patent application discloses a method for manufacturing a solar cell module. The method involves combining photovoltaic cells, connecting electrodes and covering the module with protective layers.

[0017] US Patent 9,890,466: "Method for Manufacturing Solar Cell Modules Using Photovoltaic Cell Units". This patent application describes a method for manufacturing solar cell modules using photovoltaic cell units. It includes the steps such as arranging cell units, connecting electrodes, applying protective materials.

[0018] In conclusion, the abovementioned shortcomings and the inadequacy of the current practice entail an improvement in the respective technical field. Thus, there is a need for an invention to overcome the described problems.

[0019] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of a new generation cell or panel developed to be used instead of solar cells in photovoltaic energy production in solar panels in order to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and to bring new advantages to the relevant technical field.

[0021] The aim of the invention is to make the manufacturing and assembly technology very cost-effective and easy to apply thanks to the strips placed directly on the transparent surface without the first few steps of the known state of the art. Another aim of the invention is to place semiconductors directly on the transparent surface without the steps of melting, purification, cutting, polishing and bonding two products together, which are included in the known state of the art. The step of attaching cells to each other is also not included in this invention. In our invention, the cell can also turn directly into a panel. When made in 12*12cm size, the cell size is obtained. When it is made large, it becomes a panel with the same method, and when it is made small, it becomes a cell.

[0022] A new generation cell or panel of the invention can be manufactured in different sizes, larger and smaller and in different dimensions.

[0023] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] The preferred alternatives of the embodiments of a new generation photovoltaic panel manufacturing method of the invention, which are mentioned in this detailed description, are only intended for providing a better understanding of the subject- matter, and should not be construed in any restrictive sense.

[0025] The invention relates to a manufacturing method for a new generation photovoltaic panel with a prismatic or conical surface, wherein it includes the process steps of pouring the resin into the mold in liquid form, pouring a layer of liquid resin with a thickness in the range of 0.1 -1mm on the hardened liquid, placing the cells on top of this thin liquid resin poured, connecting the cells to each other by soldering, placing the energy cables that need to go outside at the positive (+) and negative (-) ends, pouring a liquid resin with a thickness in the range of 0.1 -1mm onto the cells, placing glass, carbon or durable fiber on the panel, pouring the liquid resin back onto the glass, carbon or durable fiber and allowing to harden.

[0026] The reason for using liquid resin is to create the prismatic surface at a lower cost and this step is applied to create the infrastructure for the cells. Thus, a rigid structure is created. A thin layer of liquid is then applied to adhere the cells to the rigid structure. The thin liquid layer acts as an adhesive here. The cells are placed on the resin so that the cells adhere to the epoxy. The cells are soldered together to obtain more energy and surface area. In order to transfer the obtained energy to the outside, it must be placed at the + and - ends of the energy cables that need to go outside. A thin layer of liquid resin is poured over the cells to provide strength to the cells and to bond the glass fabric to the cells. Glass, carbon or durable fiber is placed on the panel to increase the strength of the panel and protect the cells. It is necessary to pour the liquid resin on the glass, carbon or durable fiber again and allow to harden to increase panel strength by creating a composite structure.

[0027] In the alternative embodiment of the invention, the rationale for using semiconductors instead of cells is to get rid of foreign dependency and reduce costs, thus achieving a more efficient embodiment. While 15*15cm cells in the known state of the art produce 5-6 volts of energy, when semiconductors are used, the same size cell produces a minimum of 10 volts of energy. A semiconductor such as copper, silver or aluminum or derivatives thereof is preferably used as a semiconductor in the invention.
