[0068] The present disclosure provides a back contact assembly, as shown in FIG. 1, comprising:

[0069] A battery string 100, the battery string 100 comprising at least 2 pieces of series-connected battery pieces, each battery piece comprising a first doped region and a second doped region on the back surface of the battery piece, the first doped region being provided with a first grid line, and the second doped region being provided with a second grid line;

[0070] A main solder strip 200, the main solder strip 200 comprising a first main solder strip 200 and a second main solder strip 200, the first main solder strip 200 being electrically connected with the first grid line, and the second main solder strip 200 being electrically connected with the second grid line;

[0071] An insulating layer 300, located on the side of the main solder strip 200 away from the battery piece;

[0072] The bus bar 400 is arranged on the side of the insulating layer 300 away from the battery piece, and the insulating layer 300 insulates the bus bar 400 from the first main solder strip 200 and the second main solder strip 200;

[0073] The auxiliary solder strip 500 is arranged on the side of the bus bar 400 away from the battery piece, the auxiliary solder strip 500 is electrically connected to the bus bar 400, and the auxiliary solder strip 500 is electrically connected to one of the first main solder strip 200 and the second main solder strip 200.

[0074] The above technical solutions are described in detail below:

[0075] (1) The battery string 100 refers to a single power source formed by connecting the negative electrode of a plurality of battery pieces to the positive electrode of the next battery piece. The connection mode of the battery string 100 is series connection, that is, by connecting the negative electrode of the first battery piece to the positive electrode of the second battery piece, the negative electrode of the second battery piece to the positive electrode of the third battery piece, and so on, until all the battery pieces are connected together in this way. In some embodiments, the battery string 100 can include two battery pieces in series, three battery pieces in series, or more battery pieces in series, and the number of battery pieces to be connected in series can be determined according to actual use.

[0076] The battery piece is generally in a sheet structure, and the side that can absorb light energy and convert it into electrical energy is called the light-absorbing side or the front side, and the other side is called the back side. Both polar electrodes are formed on the back side of the solar cell, which is a back contact solar cell. In some embodiments, when the battery piece is normally used and installed, the side facing up is called the front side, and the other side opposite the front side is called the back side. The shape of the battery piece can be rectangular or square, and the four corners of the battery piece can have standard corners, cut corners, or rounded corners, which can be set according to actual production needs and are not limited here. In some embodiments, the battery piece is a main grid-free battery piece. The main grid-free battery piece cancels the main grid line of the battery piece, collects fine grid current through the solder strip of the module, and realizes battery interconnection. The main grid-free battery piece can save silver consumption because the battery has no main grid, and more solder strip and fine grid contact points reduce the risk of battery piece cracking and improve the long-term reliability of the module.

[0077] Doped regions, not shown in the figure, are regions of a semiconductor material that have been formed by a doping process to have specific electrical properties. These regions can be either N-type or P-type. N-type doping typically uses pentavalent elements such as phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), etc., while P-type doping uses trivalent elements such as boron (B), aluminum (Al), etc. By performing N-type and P-type doping in different regions, a P-N junction can be formed. The P-N junction is one of the basic structures in a solar cell, and has the property of converting light into electricity. In some embodiments, a P-type silicon wafer is selected, and after phosphorus diffusion, a P-N junction is formed. In some embodiments, each cell includes a first doped region and a second doped region on the back of the cell, the first doped region is a P-type doped region, and the second doped region is an N-type doped region. Correspondingly, the first grid line is a P-type grid line, and the second grid line is an N-type grid line. In some other embodiments, the first doped region is an N-type doped region, and the second doped region is a P-type doped region. Correspondingly, the first grid line is an N-type grid line, and the second grid line is a P-type grid line. In some embodiments, the back of the back contact cell includes first doped regions and second doped regions that are alternately distributed along a second direction, such as a plurality of P-type doped regions and N-type doped regions that are alternately arranged. In some embodiments, the first doped regions and the second doped regions are both parallel to the first direction. In some embodiments, the first direction is a lateral direction of the cell, and the second direction is a longitudinal direction of the cell. The number of the first doped regions and the second doped regions is determined according to the actual size of the cell, the width and distance of the P-type grid line and the N-type grid line, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0078] First and second grid lines, not shown in the figure, are typically made of silver, aluminum or other conductive materials, and are printed or deposited on the first and second doped regions. The main function of the first and second grid lines is to quickly collect and transport the electrons generated by the solar cell under light. When sunlight shines on the silicon wafer, the silicon material will convert light energy into electrical energy to generate electrons and holes. The function of the first and second grid lines is to guide these electrons to the ribbon of the cell assembly, so that they can be collected and utilized by the external circuit. In some embodiments, the first and second grid lines are alternately arranged along the second direction. In some embodiments, the first and second grid lines both extend along the first direction. In some embodiments, the first direction is a lateral direction of the cell, and the second direction is a longitudinal direction of the cell. The number of the first and second grid lines is determined according to the actual size of the cell, the width and distance of the P-type grid line and the N-type grid line, and is not specifically limited herein.

[0079] (ii) main solder ribbons 200, also known as solder ribbons, tin-coated copper ribbons or tin-coated copper ribbons, are important auxiliary materials for connecting photovoltaic module cells, playing an important role in connecting cells and transmitting current. The main solder ribbons 200 include first main solder ribbons 200 and second main solder ribbons 200, the first main solder ribbons 200 are electrically connected with the first grid lines, and the second main solder ribbons 200 are electrically connected with the second grid lines. By setting the first main solder ribbons 200 electrically connected with the first grid lines and the second main solder ribbons 200 electrically connected with the second grid lines, the current of the first fine grid and the second fine grid can be conducted by the first main solder ribbons 200 and the second main solder ribbons 200. In some embodiments, the first main solder ribbons 200 and the second main solder ribbons 200 both extend along the second direction. In some embodiments, the first direction is the transverse direction of the cell, and the second direction is the longitudinal direction of the cell. In some embodiments, the cell string 100 includes at least 3 cells, the first main solder ribbons 200 electrically connect the first grid lines of two adjacent cells, and the second main solder ribbons 200 electrically connect the second grid lines of two adjacent cells. The number of first main solder ribbons 200 and second main solder ribbons 200 is determined according to the actual size of the cell, the width and distance of the first main solder ribbons 200 and the second main solder ribbons 200, which is not limited here.

[0080] (iii) an insulation layer 300 is located on the side of the main solder ribbons 200 away from the cell, and the insulation layer 300 insulates the bus bar 400 from the first main solder ribbons 200 and the second main solder ribbons 200. In some embodiments, the insulation layer 300 is an insulating glue, which can also be a non-conductive adhesive tape or an insulating film, such as a PET or PI adhesive tape with acrylic or silicone glue, or a PET or PI substrate with a single-sided or double-sided film of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or hot melt adhesive. It can be understood that the insulation layer 300 can include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, resin material, polyimide or polypropylene or polyethylene material, and can also include an acrylic adhesive layer.

[0081] The thickness of the insulation layer 300 cannot be too thick or too thin. If the insulation layer 300 is too thin, it is not convenient to operate when pasting, and it is easy to deform when pulling, and there is a risk of damage to long-term insulation. If it is too thick, it will increase the height difference, and the stress generated during the lamination process will cause the pieces to be broken, increasing the risk of false welding. In some embodiments, the thickness of the insulation layer 300 is 0.05mm to 0.8mm. In this way, the insulation layer 300 will neither be too thin nor too thick. The exemplary thickness of the insulation layer 300 is 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, but is not limited to the above list.

[0082] In some embodiments, the insulating layer 300 extends along the first direction; in some implementations, the length of the insulating layer 300 along the first direction is the same as the length of the cell sheet, and the insulating layer 300 is continuous and uninterrupted, so that it is easier to set the insulating layer 300 on the cell sheet, and more conducive to automated production.

[0083] In some embodiments, the width of the insulating layer 300 is greater than or equal to the width of the bus bar 400. If the width of the insulating layer 300 is too narrow, the bus bar 400 will be exposed, and there is a risk that the bus bar 400 will contact the differently doped area or the differently soldered ribbon, thereby causing a short circuit.

[0084] In some embodiments, the insulating layer 300 is black or white or transparent. The insulating layer 300 can be black, so that the bus bar 400 can be better hidden. The insulating layer 300 can also be white, so that the reflected light from the back of the cell sheet can be reflected to the cell sheet, making full use of the light. Of course, the insulating layer 300 can also be transparent. The present disclosure does not make specific limitations on the color of the insulating layer 300.

[0085] (Four) the bus bar 400, the bus bar 400 is arranged on the side of the insulating layer 300 away from the cell sheet; the bus bar 400 is a metal conductive strip for connecting the cell sheet, which is usually made of materials with good conductive properties such as silver, aluminum or copper, and the main function of the bus bar 400 is to collect the current on the cell sheet and transmit it to the output end of the module. In some embodiments, the bus bar 400 extends along the first direction; in some implementations, the length of the bus bar 400 along the first direction is the same as the length of the cell sheet, and the bus bar 400 is continuous and uninterrupted, so that it is easier to set the bus bar 400 on the cell sheet, and more conducive to automated production.

[0086] In some embodiments, along the series connection direction of the cell sheets in the cell string 100, the insulating layer 300 and the bus bar 400 are located in the middle region of the cell sheet at the end position in the cell string 100. In this way, the bus bar 400 can be hidden on the back of the back contact module, so that the appearance color of the front of the module is consistent, such as achieving a full black effect, which is conducive to the full black design of the back contact module. Also, the transmission distance of the current can be effectively shortened, and the risk of solder ribbon transmission loss and edge cracking can be reduced.
