AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, stress concentration at the edges of back-contact solar cells leads to damage.
A back-contact solar cell is designed by setting a grid structure on one side of the cell, in which the main grid lines and fine grid lines are arranged in a specific direction, increasing the spacing between the edge grid line substructure and the middle grid line substructure, and reserving an area for setting edge welding points, keeping them away from the edge of the silicon wafer to avoid stress concentration.
This effectively avoids stress concentration on the silicon wafer edge caused by the component welding points being close to the edge, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0036] As introduced in the background, the edge stress of the battery piece in the prior art is concentrated, which is easy to cause damage to the battery. To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a back contact solar cell and a solar cell module.
[0037] FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a back contact solar cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the back contact solar cell includes a silicon wafer and a grid line structure arranged on one side of the silicon wafer, the grid line structure includes a main grid line and a fine grid line connected with the main grid line, the grid line structure includes a plurality of intermediate grid line substructures 100 arranged along a first direction D1, a first edge grid line substructure 101 closest to a first edge, and a second edge grid line substructure 102 closest to a second edge, the plurality of intermediate grid line substructures 100 are located between the first edge grid line substructure 101 and the second edge grid line substructure 102, in the first direction D1, the distance between the center line of the main grid line of the first edge grid line substructure 101 and the center line of the main grid line of the adjacent intermediate grid line substructure 100 is greater than the distance between the center lines of the main grid lines of any two adjacent intermediate grid line substructures 100; and / or, the distance between the center line of the main grid line of the second edge grid line substructure 102 and the center line of the main grid line of the adjacent intermediate grid line substructure 100 is greater than the distance between the center lines of any two adjacent intermediate grid line substructures 100; wherein the first direction D1 is an extension direction from the first edge to the second edge, and the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the silicon wafer.
[0038] Specifically, the back contact solar cell reduces the shading and reflection of the front surface of the cell by moving the front surface electrode to the back surface of the cell, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. This design can reduce the shading loss of the front surface of the cell and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell. The main grid lines in the grid line structure are used to collect the current generated by the photoelectric conversion of the cell and then transmit it to the output end of the cell. The fine grid lines are metal lines connecting the main grid lines and the surface of the cell. Their function is to collect the current on the surface of the cell and then transmit it to the main grid lines. There is a certain spacing between the adjacent first edge grid line substructure and the middle grid line substructure, or between the adjacent first edge grid line substructure and the middle grid line substructure. In addition, the above-mentioned first edge and second edge are not limited to the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, but can also be other arrangements, which will not be described here. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of another structure of a back contact solar cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the back contact solar cell includes: a first grid line 10 (i.e. the fine grid line of the first edge grid line substructure described above) for collecting a first polarity region; a second grid line 20 (i.e. the fine grid line of the second edge grid line substructure described above) for collecting a second polarity region; a first main grid 51 (i.e. the main grid line of the first edge grid line substructure described above) disposed on one side of the back contact cell close to the first edge and connected to the first grid line 10; a first edge soldering point 31; a first connecting electrode 41 respectively connected to the first main grid 51 and the first edge soldering point 31; wherein the distance between the first edge soldering point 31 and the first edge is greater than the distance between the first main grid 51 and the first edge. A second main grid 52 (i.e. the main grid line of the second edge grid line substructure described above) is disposed on one side of the back contact cell close to the second edge and connected to the second grid line 20, and the second edge is opposite to the first edge; a second edge soldering point 32; a second connecting electrode 42 respectively connected to the second main grid 52 and the second edge soldering point 32; wherein the distance between the second edge soldering point 32 and the second edge is greater than the distance between the second main grid 52 and the second edge. Due to the increased spacing between the first edge grid line substructure and the middle grid line substructure and the spacing between the second edge grid line substructure and the middle grid line substructure, sufficient area can be reserved for the arrangement of the first edge soldering point 31 and the second edge soldering point 32, so that the edge soldering point is away from the edge of the silicon wafer, avoiding the problem of stress concentration of the edge of the silicon wafer caused by the proximity of the component soldering point to the edge.
[0039] Specifically, the center line of the main grid line is a center line of the main grid line parallel to the second direction D2.
[0040] The embodiment provides a back contact solar cell, which comprises a silicon wafer and a grid line structure, the grid line structure comprises main grid lines and fine grid lines connected with the main grid lines, the grid line structure comprises a plurality of intermediate grid line substructures arranged along a first direction, a first edge grid line substructure closest to a first edge, and a second edge grid line substructure closest to a second edge, a distance between a center line of the main grid line of the first edge grid line substructure and a center line of the main grid line of an adjacent intermediate grid line substructure is greater than a distance between center lines of main grid lines of any two adjacent intermediate grid line substructures, and a distance between the center line of the main grid line of the second edge grid line substructure and the center line of the main grid line of an adjacent intermediate grid line substructure is greater than a distance between center lines of any two adjacent intermediate grid line substructures. Since the distances between the first edge grid line substructure and the intermediate grid line substructure and between the second edge grid line substructure and the intermediate grid line substructure are increased, a sufficient area can be reserved for setting an edge soldering point, so that the edge soldering point is far away from the silicon wafer edge, and the problem of stress concentration of the silicon wafer edge caused by the fact that the component soldering point is close to the edge is avoided.
[0041] In the implementation process, as shown in FIG. 1, in the first direction D1, a distance between a center line of the main grid line of the first edge grid line substructure 101 and a center line of the main grid line of an adjacent intermediate grid line substructure 100 is a first distance L1, a distance between a center line of the main grid line of the second edge grid line substructure 102 and a center line of the main grid line of an adjacent intermediate grid line substructure 100 is a second distance L2, and a distance between center lines of main grid lines of any two adjacent intermediate grid line substructures 100 is a third distance L3, a ratio of the first distance L1 to the third distance L3 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.5, and a ratio of the second distance L2 to the third distance L3 is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.5. The above setting can further ensure that the ratio of the first distance to the third distance and the ratio of the second distance to the third distance are neither too large nor too small, and meanwhile, the problems of stress concentration of the silicon wafer edge caused by the fact that the component soldering point is close to the edge and the manufacturing cost of the solar cell wafer are avoided.
[0042] In actual application, the first distance and the second distance can be the same or different.
[0043] To further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell, the back contact solar cell of the present disclosure further comprises a doping structure 107 between the silicon wafer 106 and the grid line structure 108, as shown in FIG. 4, the doping structure comprises a plurality of intermediate doping layers 103 arranged along a first direction, a first edge doping layer 104 closest to the first edge, and a second edge doping layer 105 closest to the second edge, the plurality of intermediate doping layers 103 are between the first edge doping layer 104 and the second edge doping layer 105, in the first direction, the distance between the center line of the first edge doping layer 104 and the center line of the adjacent intermediate doping layer 103 is greater than the distance between the center lines of any two adjacent intermediate doping layers 103, and / or the distance between the center line of the second edge doping layer 105 and the center line of the adjacent intermediate doping layer 103 is greater than the distance between the center lines of any two adjacent intermediate doping layers 103.
[0044] Specifically, the doping layer changes the electrical properties of the semiconductor material by doping impurity elements, thereby improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell. In a solar cell, the doping layer is n-type and p-type, and a PN junction is formed by the combination of n-type and p-type doping layers. When sunlight shines on the solar cell, the photon energy causes the electrons and holes in the PN junction to separate, generating a photogenerated current, thereby realizing photoelectric conversion. In practical applications, the grid line structure can be arranged one-to-one with the doping structure, or can have partial overlap.
[0045] Specifically, the center line of the first edge doping layer 104 is the center line of the doping layer in the first edge doping layer 104 parallel to the second direction D2. The center line of the intermediate doping layer 103 is the center line of the doping layer in the intermediate doping layer 103 parallel to the second direction D2. The center line of the second edge doping layer 105 is the center line of the doping layer in the second edge doping layer 105 parallel to the second direction D2.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of intermediate gate line substructures 100 include first intermediate gate line portions 109 and second intermediate gate line portions 110 arranged alternately along the first direction D1, wherein the polarity of the first intermediate gate line portions 109 is different from the polarity of the second intermediate gate line portions 110, the polarity of the first edge gate line substructure 101 is different from the polarity of the second edge gate line substructure 102, the polarity of the first intermediate gate line portions 109 is different from the polarity of the first edge gate line substructure 101, and the polarity of the second intermediate gate line portions 110 is different from the polarity of the second edge gate line substructure 102. In this structure, the alternating arrangement of the polarities can reduce the series resistance inside the cell, thereby reducing energy loss and further improving the overall efficiency of the solar cell.
[0047] Specifically, in the first direction, the polarities of the first edge gate line substructure, the plurality of first intermediate gate line portions and second intermediate gate line portions, and the second edge gate line substructure are arranged alternately, for example: first edge gate line substructure (positive) - first intermediate gate line portion (negative) - second intermediate gate line portion (positive) - … first intermediate gate line portion (negative) - second intermediate gate line portion (positive) - second edge gate line substructure (negative).
[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of intermediate doped layers 103 include first sub-doped layers 111 and second sub-doped layers 112 arranged alternately along the first direction D1, wherein the doping type of the first sub-doped layers 111 is different from the doping type of the second sub-doped layers 112, the doping type of the first edge doped layer 104 is different from the doping type of the second edge doped layer 105, the doping type of the first sub-doped layers 111 is different from the doping type of the first edge doped layer 104, and the doping type of the second sub-doped layers 112 is different from the doping type of the second edge doped layer 105. In this structure, the alternating arrangement of the doping types can reduce the series resistance inside the cell, thereby reducing energy loss and further improving the overall efficiency of the solar cell.
[0049] Specifically, in the first direction, the doping types of the first edge doped layer, the plurality of first sub-doped layers and second sub-doped layers, and the second edge doped layer are arranged alternately, for example: first edge doped layer (P-type) - first sub-doped layer (N-type) - second sub-doped layer (P-type) - … first sub-doped layer (N-type) - second sub-doped layer (P-type) - second edge doped layer (N-type).
[0050] In some embodiments, each of the first intermediate busbar portions includes a first main busbar and a plurality of first fine busbars, one end of each of the first fine busbars is connected to the first main busbar and is arranged along the second direction, the second edge busbar substructure includes a second main busbar and a plurality of second fine busbars, one end of each of the second fine busbars is connected to the second main busbar and is arranged along the second direction, and in the first direction, the width of any one of the first main busbars is greater than the width of the second main busbar. Compared with the solar cell piece with the same width of the first main busbar and the second main busbar, the structure can save the amount of metal of the second main busbar, thereby further reducing the manufacturing cost of the back contact solar cell.
[0051] Specifically, the polarity of the first intermediate busbar portion is the same as the polarity of the second edge busbar substructure. The widths of the first main busbars can be the same or different. The widths of the first fine busbars can be the same or different.

Compared with the solar cell piece with the same width of the third main busbar and the fourth main busbar, the structure can save the amount of metal of the fourth main busbar, thereby further reducing the manufacturing cost of the back contact solar cell.
[0053] Specifically, the polarity of the second intermediate busbar portion is the same as the polarity of the first edge busbar substructure. The widths of the third main busbars can be the same or different. The widths of the third fine busbars can be the same or different.
[0054] As shown in FIG. 1, in the first direction D1, the width of the first main busbar is a first width W1, the width of the second main busbar is a second width W2, the width of the third main busbar is a third width W3, the width of the fourth main busbar is a fourth width W4, the ratio of the second width W2 to the first width W1 is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than 1, and the ratio of the fourth width W4 to the third width W3 is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than 1. The above setting can further ensure that the ratio of the second width to the first width and the ratio of the fourth width to the third width are not too large or too small, thereby further reducing the manufacturing cost of the solar cell piece.
[0055] Specifically, the width of the third main grid line can be the same as or different from the width of the first main grid line. Similarly, the width of the second main grid line can be the same as or different from the width of the fourth main grid line.
[0056] Each of the first sub-doped layers includes a first connecting part and a plurality of second connecting parts, one end of each of the second connecting parts is connected to the first connecting part and is arranged at intervals along the second direction, each of the second edge doped layers includes a third connecting part and a plurality of fourth connecting parts, one end of each of the fourth connecting parts is connected to the third connecting part and is arranged at intervals along the second direction, and in the first direction, the width of at least one of the first connecting parts is greater than the width of the third connecting part. This structure can further improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell.
