[0034] Please refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. The solar cell 10 of this embodiment includes two opposing surfaces 11 and a plurality of side surfaces 12, with the side surfaces 12 located between the opposing surfaces 11. At least one surface 11 has a central region 111 and an edge region 112, with the edge region 112 surrounding the central region 111. The central region 111 and the edge region 112 are respectively formed with a plurality of first textured structures 131 and a plurality of second textured structures 132. The second textured structures 132 and the first textured structures 131 are conical, and the apex angle α2 of the second textured structure 132 is greater than the apex angle α1 of the first textured structure 131.

[0035] In the solar cell 10 of this disclosure, since the apex angle of the second textured structure 132 located in the edge region 112 is larger than the apex angle of the first textured structure 131 located in the middle region 111, the passivation effect of the second textured structure 132 is better, and the anti-reflection effect of the first textured structure 131 is better, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10 as a whole.

[0036] It is understandable that a larger apex angle of the textured surface structure results in better passivation, but a worse anti-reflection effect. In the solar cell 10 of this embodiment, a second textured surface structure 132 with a larger apex angle is provided in the edge region 112, where damage and recombination are greater and better passivation is required, which can better passivate the edge region 112; at the same time, a first textured surface structure 131 with a smaller apex angle is provided in the middle region 111, where damage and recombination are relatively less, which can make the anti-reflection effect of the middle region 111 better. Thus, overall, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10 is better.

[0037] In some embodiments, the solar cell 10 may be a PERC cell, HJT cell, TopCon cell, MWT cell, BC cell, tandem cell, etc. The solar cell 10 may be a back-contact cell or a bi-faced contact cell. The specific form of the solar cell 10 is not limited here.

[0038] In some embodiments, the number of sides 12 can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or other numbers. In the example of Figure 1, the number of sides 12 is 4. In the example of Figure 2, the number of sides 12 is 8. The specific number of sides 12 is not limited here.

[0039] In some embodiments, side surface 12 may also include a central region and an edge region, with the edge region surrounding the central region. The central region and the edge region are each formed with two conical pile surfaces, and the apex angle of the pile surface in the edge region is larger than the apex angle of the pile surface in the central region in a predetermined proportion. That is to say, the explanation and description of the central region 111 and the edge region 112 of surface 11 can be applied to side surface 12. To avoid redundancy, further details are omitted here.

[0040] In some implementations, in some examples, one of the two surfaces 11 is formed with a central region 111 and an edge region 112. In other examples, both surfaces 11 are formed with a central region 111 and an edge region 112.

[0041] In some embodiments, the edge region 112 surrounds the central region 111. This can mean that the edge region 112 is in a ring shape and continuously surrounds the central region 111. Alternatively, it can mean that there are multiple edge regions 112, dispersedly surrounding the central region 111.

[0042] In some embodiments, the number of first pile structures 131 can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or other numbers. The number of second pile structures 132 can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or other numbers. No limitation is made here.

[0043] In some embodiments, "conical" refers to a textured surface that resembles a cone or pyramid. For example, it could be pyramidal. In some embodiments, the dimension of the textured surface refers to the width of the base of the cone. For example, the width of the base of a pyramid. It is understood that when the base is irregular in shape, the dimension can refer to the maximum width of the base or the width at any point on the base. The width at any point on the base refers to the distance between that point and its opposite side.

[0044] In some implementations, the apex angle refers to the included angle between two opposite sides 12 of the velvet structure.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first preset ratio is 50%-100%. For example, it is 50%, 52%, 60%, 80%, 90%, or 100%. This ensures that the proportion of the second textured structure 132 with larger apex angles is within a suitable range, avoiding a poor passivation effect in the edge region 112 caused by a small proportion of the second textured structure 132 with larger apex angles, and thus ensuring the passivation effect of the edge region 112 of the solar cell 10.

[0046] In some implementations, the first preset ratio is 80%-90%, such as 80%, 82%, 85%, 88%, or 90%. This further optimizes the ratio of the second velvet structure 132 with a larger apex angle, ensuring the passivation effect of the edge region 112 while allowing space for the existence of the second velvet structure 132 with a smaller apex angle, thus reducing the difficulty of the process.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 3, 5, and 7. In some embodiments, the difference between the maximum value of the apex angle α2 of the second velvet structure 132 and the maximum value of the apex angle α1 of the first velvet structure 131 is 0.5°-15°. For example, it is 0.5°, 0.6°, 1°, 3°, 5°, 10°, 12°, or 15°.

[0048] In this way, the difference between the maximum value of the apex angle of the second velvet structure 132 and the first velvet structure 131 is within a suitable range, thereby avoiding poor passivation effect of the edge region 112 or poor anti-reflection effect of the middle region 111 due to a small difference, and also avoiding the high process difficulty and low production efficiency due to a large difference.

[0049] Referring to Figures 3 and 5, in some embodiments, the apex angle α1 of at least a portion of the first velvet structure 131 is 70°-82°. For example, it is 70°, 71°, 75°, 78°, 80°, or 82°.

[0050] In this way, the apex angle α1 of the first velvet structure 131 is within a suitable range, which can avoid the poor passivation effect caused by the small apex angle α1 of the first velvet structure 131, which cannot meet the basic passivation requirements of the middle region 111, and can also avoid the poor anti-reflection effect caused by the large apex angle α1 of the first velvet structure 131.

[0051] In some embodiments, the apex angle α1 of a portion of the first pile structure 131 may be 70°-82°. For example, the apex angle α1 of the largest first pile structure 131 may be 70°-82°. Alternatively, the apex angle α1 of all the first pile structures 131 may be 70°-82°. No limitation is made here.

[0052] In some embodiments, the apex angle α1 of the first textured structure 131 is 73.9°-79.8°. For example, it is 73.9°, 74°, 75°, 78°, 79.8°, or 80°. In this way, the apex angle α1 of the first textured structure 131 is further optimized, and the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery is further improved.

[0053] Referring to Figures 3 and 7, in some embodiments, the apex angle α2 of at least a portion of the second velvet structure 132 is 75°-85°. For example, it is 75°, 76°, 78°, 80°, 82°, or 85°.

[0054] In this way, the apex angle α2 of the second velvet structure 132 is within a suitable range, which can avoid the poor passivation effect caused by a small apex angle α2 of the second velvet structure 132, and also avoid the poor anti-reflection effect caused by a large apex angle α2 of the second velvet structure 132, which would fail to meet the basic anti-reflection requirements of the edge region 112.

[0055] In some embodiments, the apex angle α2 of a portion of the second pile structure 132 may be 75°-85°. For example, the apex angle α2 of the largest second pile structure 132 may be 75°-85°. Alternatively, the apex angle α2 of all the second pile structures 132 may be 75°-85°. No limitation is made here.

[0056] In some embodiments, the apex angle α2 of the second textured structure 132 is 80.44°-82.57°. For example, it is 80.44°, 80.5°, 80.8°, 81°, 81.5°, 82°, or 82.57°. This further optimizes the apex angle α2 of the second textured structure 132, further improving the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the surface 11 includes a plurality of edges 110, and the ratio of the width w1 of the edge region 112 to the width w0 of the surface is 1:(5-100). For example, it is 1:5, 1:8, 1:10, 1:30, 1:50, 1:80, 1:90, or 1:100.

[0058] This ensures that the ratio of the width w1 of the edge region 112 to the width w0 of the surface is within a suitable range. It avoids the poor overall passivation effect caused by an excessively small width, and also avoids the passivation effect from diminishing as the width continues to increase. This, in turn, helps to improve the overall photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10.

[0059] In some embodiments, the width of the edge region 112 and the width of the surface 11 are the dimensions of the edge region 112 and the surface 11 in the same direction, respectively.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the edge region 112 is ring-shaped and continuously surrounds the central region 111.

[0061] Thus, by setting the edge region 112 as a ring, the area near all edges 110 of the surface 11 is provided with a second textured surface structure 132 with a large apex angle, thereby ensuring that all edges 110 of the surface 11 are well passivated without omissions or gaps, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. In some embodiments, the size d2 of the second velvet structure 132 with the second preset ratio is smaller than the size d1 of the first velvet structure 131.

[0063] This results in a smaller size for at least a portion of the second textured structure 132 located in the edge region 112, thus improving the passivation effect of the second textured structure 132. Simultaneously, a larger size for at least a portion of the first textured structure 131 in the middle region 111 improves the anti-reflection effect of the middle region 111, allowing more sunlight to enter the middle region 111 of the solar cell 10. This, in turn, helps to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10.

[0064] As mentioned earlier, "conical" refers to a textured surface that resembles a cone or pyramid. For example, it could be pyramidal. In some implementations, the dimension of the textured surface refers to the width of the base of the cone, such as the base width of a pyramid. It is understood that when the base shape is irregular, the dimension can refer to the maximum width of the base or the width at any point on the base.

[0065] In some embodiments, the second preset ratio is 50%-100%. For example, it is 50%, 52%, 60%, 80%, 90%, or 100%. This ensures that the proportion of the smaller second textured structure 132 is within a suitable range, avoiding poor passivation of the edge region 112 due to the smaller proportion of the second textured structure 132, and thus ensuring the passivation effect of the edge region 112 of the solar cell 10.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second preset ratio is 80%-90%. For example, it is 80%, 82%, 85%, 88%, or 90%. In this way, the ratio of the smaller second velvet structure 132 is further optimized, which ensures the passivation effect of the edge region 112 while allowing space for the larger second velvet structure 132, thereby reducing the difficulty of the process.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. In some embodiments, the difference between the size d2 of the largest second velvet structure 132 and the size d1 of the largest first velvet structure 131 is 0.01 μm to 3.7 μm. For example, it is 0.01 μm, 0.02 μm, 0.1 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, or 3.7 μm.

[0068] In this way, the difference between the size d2 of the largest second velvet structure 132 and the size d1 of the largest first velvet structure 131 is within a suitable range. This avoids the poor passivation effect of the edge region 112 or the poor anti-reflection effect of the middle region 111 caused by the difference being too small, and also avoids the high process difficulty and low production efficiency caused by the difference being too large.

[0069] In some embodiments, the size d1 of at least a portion of the first textured structure 131 is 0.3 μm-4 μm. For example, it is 0.3 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, 2.818 μm, 3 μm, 3.8 μm, or 4 μm. This ensures that the size d1 of the first textured structure 131 is within a suitable range, avoiding poor anti-reflection performance due to an excessively small size, and also avoiding failure to meet the basic anti-reflection requirements of the intermediate region 111 due to an excessively large size. In some embodiments, the size d1 of the first textured structure 131 is 2.818 μm.

[0070] In some embodiments, the size d1 of a portion of the first velvet structure 131 may be 0.3 μm-4 μm. For example, the size d1 of the largest first velvet structure 131 may be 0.3 μm-4 μm. Alternatively, the size d1 of all the first velvet structures 131 may be 0.3 μm-4 μm.

[0071] In some embodiments, the size d2 of the second textured structure 132 is 0.3μm-3μm. For example, it is 0.3μm, 0.5μm, 0.8μm, 1μm, 1.63μm, 2μm, 2.818μm, or 3μm. This ensures that the size d2 of the second textured structure 132 is within a suitable range, avoiding the inability to meet the basic anti-reflection requirements of the edge region 112 due to an excessively small size, and also avoiding poor passivation effect due to an excessively large size. In some embodiments, the size d2 of the second textured structure 132 is 1.63μm.

[0072] The battery assembly of this disclosure includes the solar cell 10 of any of the above-mentioned embodiments.

[0073] In the battery module of this embodiment, since the apex angle of the second textured structure 132 located in the edge region 112 of the solar cell 10 is larger than the apex angle of the first textured structure 131 located in the middle region 111, the passivation effect of the second textured structure 132 is better, and the anti-reflection effect of the first textured structure 131 is better, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10 overall.

[0074] In this embodiment, multiple solar cells 10 in the battery module can be connected in series to form a battery string, thereby realizing the series current collection and output. For example, the battery cells can be connected in series by setting solder strips (busbars, interconnecting strips), conductive backplates, etc.

[0075] It is understood that in such embodiments, the battery assembly may also include a metal frame, a backsheet, photovoltaic glass, and an encapsulating film. The encapsulating film may be filled between the front and back of the solar cell 10, the photovoltaic glass, adjacent cells, etc. As a filler, it may be a transparent colloid with good light transmittance and aging resistance. For example, the encapsulating film may be an EVA film or a POE film, and the specific choice can be made according to the actual situation, without limitation.

[0076] Photovoltaic glass can be applied to the encapsulating film on the front side of the solar cell 10. This photovoltaic glass can be ultra-clear glass, possessing high light transmittance, high transparency, and superior physical, mechanical, and optical properties. For example, ultra-clear glass can achieve a light transmittance of over 92%, protecting the solar cell 10 while minimizing impact on its efficiency. Simultaneously, the encapsulating film bonds the photovoltaic glass and the solar cell 10 together, providing sealing, insulation, and waterproofing / moisture protection for the solar cell 10.

[0077] The backsheet can be attached to the encapsulant film on the back of the solar cell 10. The backsheet provides protection and support for the solar cell 10, offering reliable insulation, water resistance, and aging resistance. Multiple backsheet options are available, typically including tempered glass, acrylic glass, and aluminum alloy TPT composite encapsulant film, with specific choices depending on the specific circumstances. The backsheet, solar cell 10, encapsulant film, and photovoltaic glass can be mounted on a metal frame. The metal frame serves as the main external support structure for the entire battery module, providing stable support and installation. For example, the battery module can be installed at the desired location using the metal frame.

[0078] The photovoltaic system of this disclosure includes the battery module described above.

[0079] In the photovoltaic system of this embodiment, since the apex angle of the second textured structure 132 located in the edge region 112 of the solar cell 10 of the battery module is larger than the apex angle of the first textured structure 131 located in the middle region 111, the passivation effect of the second textured structure 132 is better, and the anti-reflection effect of the first textured structure 131 is better, which is beneficial to improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 10 as a whole.

[0080] In this embodiment, the photovoltaic system can be applied in photovoltaic power plants, such as ground-mounted power plants, rooftop power plants, and floating power plants. It can also be applied to equipment or devices that utilize solar energy to generate electricity, such as user solar power supplies, solar streetlights, solar cars, and solar buildings. Of course, it is understood that the application scenarios of the photovoltaic system are not limited to these; that is, the photovoltaic system can be applied in all fields that require solar energy to generate electricity. Taking a photovoltaic power generation system network as an example, the photovoltaic system may include a photovoltaic array, a combiner box, and an inverter. The photovoltaic array may be an array combination of multiple battery modules; for example, multiple battery modules can form multiple photovoltaic arrays. The photovoltaic array is connected to the combiner box, which can collect the current generated by the photovoltaic array. The collected current flows through the inverter and is converted into AC power required by the mains power grid before being connected to the mains power grid to achieve solar power supply.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
