Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a single-sided solar power generation module and a method for manufacturing the same.

Background Art

[0002] A shingled module is usually a module in which a conventional battery cell is cut into small slices, and each small slice battery is stacked in series front and back with a conductive adhesive and then laminated and sealed. This connection method replaces the metal grid line connection method of the conventional module, omits the process of screen printing the main grid of the battery, and reduces the line loss and the shielding of the grid line against light rays. Since there is no sheet gap in the shingled module, the power of the shingled module is higher than that of the conventional module with the same area.

[0003] However, single modules currently face two major problems. First, the cell-to-module (CTM) is low. Mainly because single modules transmit current through thin grids, the current transmission path increases by more than 400% compared to conventional 16BB (16-busbar) cells. This causes high line losses in single cells and even higher module power losses. In addition, a diffuse reflection structure (such as a back panel) is provided between cells in conventional modules, which can increase the secondary absorption of light by the cells. However, single modules stack two cells vertically to transmit current, resulting in no gain between cells. Second, the cost is high. 1) Single modules use conductive adhesives to complete the connection between cells. The main component of the conductive adhesive is silver particles, and the cost of silver is relatively high. Moreover, since the conductive adhesive transmits current through the mutual contact between conductive particles, a decrease in the solid content means a deterioration in conductive performance, so silver consumption is high. The conductive adhesive needs to be stored below -20°C, and the storage cost is relatively high. In addition, the conductive adhesive has high requirements for equipment accuracy and a relatively complex coating method. Therefore, the single module already has very high costs for conductive adhesive materials and coating. 2) The thin grid transmission path of single module cells is long. To reduce power consumption due to line losses, the width of the thin grid must be increased, which also increases silver consumption. 3) The overlapping area of single module cells is usually between 0.5 and 1 mm, and the overlapping area causes waste of silicon materials.

[0004] Regarding the problems of high cost and low CTM of single modules, some manufacturers weld metal welding bands on the outer surface of the cells, which can play the role of concentrating the transmitted current like the main grid, shorten the transmission path of the thin grid current, reduce line losses, and improve the power of single modules. However, the cost reduction in aspects such as materials and equipment caused by conductive adhesives is extremely small.

[0005] Also, the fine grid line metal of the solar cell is generally silver. In an ordinary single module, the current concentrates on the silver fine grid lines from the outer surface of the battery cell and is directly transmitted to the adjacent battery cells by the silver fine grid lines. The cross-sectional area of the silver fine grid lines is small. By cutting an ordinary single battery cell multiple times into small sheets of thin strips, the current transmission distance of the silver fine grid lines can be shortened, and further the electrical resistance loss can be reduced.

Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a single crystalline photovoltaic module, which includes a battery string composed of battery cells connected in a single crystalline manner. Metal wires coated with seed layer fine grid lines (which may be silver fine grid lines) are provided on the front and back surfaces of the battery cells. Two adjacent battery cells in the battery string are connected by a sheet-like conductive connection material. The sheet-like conductive connection material is a conductive tape (conductive double-sided tape), an ultra-thin alloy material, or an ultra-thin metal sheet whose outer surface is covered with solder.

[0007] Preferably, the seed layer fine grid lines and the metal wires are arranged in parallel on the outer surface of the battery cell, and the distance between adjacent fine grid seed layers and metal wires is 1 to 3 mm.

[0008] Preferably, on the surface of the above-mentioned battery cell, a plurality of surface metal wires covered with seed layer fine grid lines and parallel to each other are provided, and each surface metal wire extends along the head and tail direction of the battery cell where it is located. The tail end of each surface metal wire extends outside the tail end of the battery cell where the surface metal wire is located, and the sheet-like conductive connection material is located at the tail end of each surface metal wire. The length by which the tail end of each surface metal wire extends outside the tail end of the battery cell where it is located is not greater than 5 mm, preferably not greater than 2 mm.

[0009] Preferably, the above-mentioned ultra-thin alloy material can be remelted and solidified again in the lamination process of the module. The solder on the outer surface of the above-mentioned ultra-thin metal sheet can be remelted and solidified again in the lamination process of the module.

[0010] The present invention also provides various manufacturing methods for single-sided solar power generation modules, and specific processes can be referred to in the examples.

Advantages of the Invention

[0011] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows.

[0012] In the single-sided solar power generation module of the present invention, the current transmission path is such that the current flows from the battery cell substrate to the outer surface of the battery cell, and then is vertically transmitted to the metal wire through the thin grid lines of the seed layer on the outer surface of the battery cell, and further transmitted to the sheet-shaped conductive connection material through the metal wire, and transmitted from the sheet-shaped conductive connection material to the adjacent battery cell. Among them, the thin grid lines of the seed layer only play the role of vertically drawing out the current and transmitting the current to the metal wire, and do not play the role of transmitting the current in the horizontal direction.

[0013] As described above, the thin grid line metal of the battery cell for solar power generation is generally silver. The present invention optimizes the current transmission path in the module, removes the horizontal transmission of the current in the thin grid lines, and the thin grid lines only play the role of connecting the battery and the metal wire. There is basically no diameter requirement for the thin grid lines, so the metal consumption of the thin grid lines can be reduced by up to 80% at most, greatly saving the material cost.

[0014] As described above, in the conventional single module, current gathers from the outer surface of the battery cell to the silver fine wires and is directly transmitted to the adjacent battery cell through the silver fine wires. Since the cross-sectional area of the silver fine wires is small, the conventional single battery cell can only be cut into a small sheet of thin strips multiple times in order to shorten the current transmission distance of the silver fine grid lines, thereby reducing the resistance loss. The present invention transmits current directly through a metal wire. Since the cross-sectional area of the metal wire is large, the resistance is small, and the loss is low, a single module can be manufactured using a wider battery cell, the number of cuts of the battery cell and the loss of the cutting efficiency of the battery cell can be reduced, and the manufacturing speed of the module can be improved. In addition, the metal wire can reduce the light shielding of the outer surface of the battery cell by forming, further improving the module efficiency. The metal wire shape preferably selects triangles, circles, semi-circles, etc.

[0015] The present invention replaces the conductive adhesive with a sheet-shaped conductive connection material such as a conductive tape (conductive double-sided tape), an ultra-thin alloy material, or an ultra-thin metal sheet with solder covering the outer surface, and can flexibly arrange the position of the sheet-shaped conductive connection material according to different layout methods, and form a stable electrical connection with the front and rear sheet batteries, achieving the purpose of reducing costs and enhancing effects.

[0016] The present invention can improve the strength and reliability of the sheet connection of the single module, reduce the material cost, and improve the power of the single module.

[0017] The end of the surface metal wire of the present invention extends from the outside of the end of the battery cell. The sheet-shaped conductive connection material is located at the end of each surface metal wire. The back surface of the head end of the subsequent battery cell and the end of the surface metal wire of the previous battery cell are fixedly connected by the sheet-shaped conductive connection material. Thereby, the shielding of the head end of the subsequent battery cell against the end of the previous battery cell and the shielding of the sheet-shaped conductive connection material against the surface of the battery cell can be avoided or reduced. The waste of silicon materials caused by single can be reduced, and the cost can be saved. The gain between sheets can be increased, and the CTM value of the single module can be increased. The shielding against light rays can be reduced, and the efficiency of the module can be increased.

[0018] The present invention can design the extraction length of the surface metal wire (i.e., the length that the end of the surface metal wire extends from the outside of the end of the cell) according to the thickness of the battery cell, the module assembly method, etc. The yield strength of the surface metal wire does not exceed 120 MPa. When the surface metal wire has a relatively small extraction length (the length that the end of the surface metal wire extends from the outside of the end of the battery cell is not greater than 5 mm, preferably not greater than 2 mm), the battery cell will not be cracked, and the stress in the battery cell after welding and the risk of cracks in the long term can be reduced.

[0019] The base material of the sheet-like conductive connection material of the present invention adopts a metal or alloy material with a relatively soft texture. The yield strength of the sheet-like conductive connection material of the present invention does not exceed 120 MPa. When the sheet-like conductive connection material is placed on the back surface of the battery cell, it can be ensured that the battery cell will not cause risks such as cracks due to lamination and long-term reduction in reliability.

[0020] The sheet-like conductive connection material of the present invention can complete welding during the lamination process of the module (the ultra-thin alloy material will remelt and harden again during the lamination process of the module. The solder on the outer surface of the ultra-thin metal sheet can remelt and solidify again during the module lamination process). Thereby, the present invention does not need to perform end welding of the conductive adhesive like the conventional single module. After the modules are laminated, the present invention can directly complete the electrical connection in the laminator, simplifying the process. This method also conforms to the principle of replacing the dotted welding of the conventional module with surface welding of the single module. Moreover, metal alloy welding improves the welding reliability compared with the conductive adhesive and reduces the material cost.
