Description
Solar Module The present invention relates to a solar module according to the introductory part of the claim 1.
A solar module is known e.g. from EP-A-0 525 225 which is based on a glass substrate consisting of hardened solar glass of 4 mm thickness. Onto the glass substrate a stack of layers is laminated consisting of a first synthetic film, electrically interconnected solar cells, a second synthetic film and a composite film as a cover film. Laminating is effected under vacuum at an elevated temperature in which process the synthetic films are welded onto each other and forming a solid compound with the substrate.
Furthermore from DE-41 28 766 a solar module is known comprising a number of solar cells interconnected into a solar cell string in which arrangement a transparent substrate pane is provided with a screen printed conductor system. The rear contacts of the solar cells in this arrangement contact the screen print conductor system within a solar cell string. The front contacts of the solar cells within a solar cell string are connected in parallel or in series mutually and/or to the rear contacts of neighbouring solar cells if required. A transparent cover pane is connected to the substrate pane, in the manner of a composite safety glass, using a connecting compound e.g. on basis of a plastic film or a cast resin. The cover pane also is provided with a screen printed conductor system which within a solar cell string contacts the front contacts of the solar cells in such a manner that front and/or rear contacts of neighbouring solar cells are electrically interconnected.
In a further design example according to Fig. 4 of the cited document the cover pane and the substrate pane form the individual panes of an insulating glass pane in which arrangement the solar cells are located in the air-filled interspace between the panes. The panes in this arrangement are spaced at the required distance using spacers. Between the solar cell strings and the screen printed conductor systems of the cover pane and of the substrate pane electrically conducting Spoo001 hook-shaped or U-shaped spacer elements are arranged in such a manner that the solar cell strings are soldered to the screen print conductor systems not directly but via the spacer elements. Obviously this design example is of secondary importance only as in the patent claims only a solar module with a connecting compound based on a plastic film or on a cast resin is referred to, i.e. the interspace is filled with a cast resin mass according to the examples described with reference to the Figures 1 through 3.
The example according to Fig. 4 of the patent document cited above will hardly be economically feasible for various reasons as even small tensions differences between cover and substrate panes may cause glass breakages of the solar modules. Further the screen print conductor systems applied to both sides of the solar module impair the effectiveness of the solar irradiation which may cause considerable power loss. Due to the wiring of the solar cells on alternating faces a relatively high resistance is generated which further reduces the yield.
The known solar modules in which the solar cells are embedded in a synthetic film or in a cast resin mass are hardly suitable for recycling, since separation and elimination of glass substrates, synthetic films and/or cast resins and conductors being very demanding and thus so expensive that elimination of the elements as hazardous waste rather proves economically feasible.
It thus is the objective of the present invention to improve a solar module as mentioned above in such a manner that a particularly simple arrangement results and that the solar modules in case of glass breakage or similar damages can be recycled, or re-used respectively, without difficulties.
This objective is met using a solar module presenting the characteristics according to the patent claim 1.
The inventive solar module presents the important advantage that the individual solar cells held therein can be exchanged in relatively simple manner, and that the ipool01 solar cells still are very effectively protected against weather exposure such as solar irradiation, rain and similar influences. Tensions generated in the glass substrates due to such influences, owing to the unilateral connection of the solar cells to one glass substrate only, are not transmitted, or are transmitted to an insignificant degree merely, to the solar cells. Owing to the simp!e lay-out of the inventive solar module also the energy spent in manufacturing the module is considerably lower compared to conventional modules, and thus manufacturing cost can be lowered by one third or more.
Further advantages of the present invention are explained in the dependent patent claims and in the following description in which the present invention is discussed in more detail with reference to a design example illustrated in schematic drawings. It is shown in: Fig. 1 a schematic view of the lay-out of a solar module seen in a top view, Fig. 2 a section of the solar module along the line A-A according to Fig. 1, Fig. 3 a first arrangement of the conductors on the glass substrate, and Fig. 4 a second arrangement of the conductors.
In the Figuresidentical elements are referred to using the same reference signs, and explanations given first are valid unless stated otherwise specifically.
In Fig. 1 a top view of a solar module 1 is shown in purely schematic manner, with a support pane 2 laid out as a glass substrate and a congruent cover pane 3 laid out as a glass substrate, the two panes being spaced by a predetermined distance using a sealing spacer frame 4 indicated with dashed lines arranged at their border zones. The glass substrate 2 is provided with conductor leads 6 to which the solar cells 7 are connected via soldered bridges. The conductors 6 are provided with contacting leads 8 and 9 extending to the outside and laid out as positive KGSp001 ports, and negative ports respectively. The solarcells 7 as such can be known silicon or titanium cells, or photochemical cells respectively, as described e.g. in EP-B-0 525 070.
In Fig. 2 part of the cross-section along the line A-A according to Fig. 1 of the solar module 1 is shown. The solar cells 7 are fastened unilaterally to the conductor leads 6 on the support pane 2 using soldering bridges 10 at a distance from the two glass substrates 2 and 3. Additional elastic fastening elements such as binding spots formed by a silicon adhesive also can be provided which are not shown further here. The solar cells 7 thus are arranged more or less freely in the air-filled interspace 11 between the two glass substrates 2 and 3. The support pane 2 as well as the cover pane 3 are made from a silicate glass, preferentially a colourless (white) glass, of a thickness of less than 5 mm. Depending on the application desired also a certain silicate quantity of recycled glass maybe used for manufacturing the glass substrates 2 and 3. On the inner faces of both substrates 2 and 3 a thin layer 12 and 13 each of a light reflecting paint presenting a light reflectance value of more than 62% is applied. This paint advantageously is a ceramic paint, also known as so-called glass pastes. For this purpose the ceramic paint is applied to the glass substrates using the screen print method and in a tunnel kiln is baked onto the surface at a temperature exceeding 600 oC. Also the conductors 7 are printed onto the glass substrate 2 using an electrically conductive paste, preferentially a silver paste, and are baked in at a temperature exceeding 600 0C.
Baking of the ceramic paint and of the electrically conductive paste can be effected in the same processing step. Instead of applying a ceramic paint coat the glass substrates 2 and 3 also can be subject to a surface treatment such as sand blasting or chemical etching in such a manner that on their outer surfaces they are rendered non-reflecting with a high diffusion effect. Other types of non-reflecting glass also can be applied for manufacturing the glass substrates 2 and 3. In order to equalise tensions in the glass substrates 2 and 3, the dimension of which can be e.g. 100 cm by 100 cm, the glass substrates are thermally pre-stressed, i.e.
they are heated in a tunnel kiln on rolls to a temperature of about 600 oC to 700 0C and then are shock-chilled in a cold air stream.
The spacer frame 4 furthermore contains a glass rod of rectangular cross-section serving as a spacer element, the thickness of which is chosen between about 6 and 16 mm, preferentially at about 8 mm. In the outer corners of the glass rod formed with the glass substrates 2 and 3 a seal 16 is provided made from butyl rubber. On the outer side of the glass spacer 15 then a further seal 17 is provided made from a rubber-elastic material such as silicon rubber, or e.g. a melt adhesive known under the trade mark "Bynel" or "hot melt", acting as a water moisture barrier for the solar module 1. However, seal 16 could be omitted and only seal 17 could be provided. The spacer 15 also can be made from other materials, e.g.
from wooden slats of a hard wood, such as oak or beech wood. Also aluminium slats can be provided which are fastened between the glass substrates 2 and 3 using a melt adhesive ("hot melt"). Inside the solar module 1 furthermore a molecular sieve 19 can be provided as a drying agent such as e.g. zeolite in order to reduce the residual humidity within the interspace 11 and to protect the solar cells 6 against corrosion. Additionally a humidity gauge 20 can be arranged in the interspace 11 between the glass substrates 2 and 3, of which the electric contacts of which also can be extended to the outside via conductor leads which are not shown here. Using this arrangement humidity inside a solar module 1 can be monitored and any leaks in the solar module 1 can be detected.
S
In Fig. 4 an arrangement of a number of parallel conductor leads 6 is shown in the sense of an example each of which is soldered to an oblong solar cell 7 (shown with dashed lines). In the manufacturing process one single large silicon board is soldered onto the conductor leads 6 and subsequently the board is cut, using a laser beam, into the individual oblong solar cells 7. To the left and the right of the glass substrate or of the support pane 2 the two connecting ports (positive and negative) are indicated. In Fig. 4 a further arrangement of the conductor leads 6 is shown provided for the four solar cells 7 indicated with dashed lines.
It furthermore is feasible to mount the support pane 2 and the cover pane 3 not exactly congruent above each other using the spacer frame 4 but slightly offset. In SpOol01 6 this manner a plurality of solar modules 1 can be lined up seamlessly the arrangement forming a larger array. The solar modules lined up in this manner can form a wall, or a so-called weather coat for building facades, respectively, on roofs or similar parts of a building.
It has been proven that the energy consumed in manufacturing the inventive solar module 1 is in the order of 30 to 50 kWh per m 2 the glass substrate thicknesses being chosen between 3.5 and 4.5 mm. This corresponds to about 2.2 kWh per kg of glass.
