Background technology
Solar energy replaces the optimal selection of traditional thermal power generation beyond doubt as a kind of environmental protection, the inexhaustible energy.Because solar cell needs long term exposure in outdoor application, so the battery sheet in the photovoltaic module must be protected, prevents Effect of Environmental and erosions such as steam in the atmosphere, oxygen, ultraviolet ray.The solar energy backboard is one of accessory of whole solar cell, mainly plays the mechanics support and protects the battery sheet to avoid the environmental factor infiltration, and the weatherability that therefore how to improve backboard all is the research emphasis of the sector all the time.
Solar cell backboard of the prior art mainly comprises following several kinds:
1. through PET polyester film and two-layer up and down weathering layer, be compounded to form sandwich structure, improve whole back plate weatherability and barrier.Its representative is the TPT backboard of Isovolta company in Europe, and wherein T is the Tedlar film that E.I.Du Pont Company's research and development are produced, this solar cell backboard be by the Tedlar film as weathering layer, one deck PET polyester film is composited in the middle of coating.
2. because the price of fluorine material is comparatively expensive, institute thinks the TPE solar energy backboard that saving cost, U.S. Madico company have been developed.Its structure is the same basically with TPT, also is sandwich structure, and different is to adopt ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) to replace the weather-proof fluorine material layer of internal layer among the TPT.
3. similarly also has KPK solar energy backboard with TPT.This backboard also is to adopt sandwich structure, through 3 layers of compound backboard performance that improves.Wherein K is the Kynar film that the research and development of French Arkema are produced, and promptly gathers inclined to one side fluorine divinyl (PVDF) film, and what the centre coated also is the PET polyester film.
Can find out from above 3 kinds of backboards no matter how the structure of backboard changes, what its structure enhancement layer was used all is the PET polyester.On performance; The hot strength of PET polyester can reach 152MPa, and bending modulus is about 10343MPa, and PET still is medium barrier macromolecular material; It is thus clear that mechanical stability that PET is outstanding and good barrier are the powerful guarantees that the solar energy backboard can use for a long time out of doors.Nonetheless, be 25 years the service life of using PET to make the backboard of structure enhancement layer in theory, and in the PCT senile experiment, find, in fact is difficult to reach this service life.So it is necessary seeking the stronger backboard basement membrane of a kind of weatherability.
PEI (PEI) is the very outstanding engineering plastics of a kind of combination property, and on mechanical property, the hot strength of PEI film can reach more than the 200MPa during room temperature, even if about 100 ℃ situation stretched intensity also can be stabilized in 100MP.On thermal property, the thermal property of PEI is extremely stable, and it is high temperature resistant to reach 400 ℃, low temperature resistant reaching-269 ℃.Aspect insulation, PEI is one of best macromolecular material of present insulating properties in the world, and its electrical strength can reach 130MV/m.The most important thing is that aspect weatherability weatherability is the advantage performance of PEI, especially aspect anti-hydrolysis; PEI soaks 10000 hours in boiling water after, its hot strength still can remain on more than 85%, under 132 ℃; After the steam hot press cycle 2000 times, its hot strength remains on 100%.In addition, aspect radioresistance, PEI has good uvioresistant, gamma ray performance, processing under the cobalt x radiation x of 400 Megarads, and its hot strength remains on 94%.This shows that the mechanical property of PEI, thermal property, electrical insulation properties and weather resistance are all better, be fit to do the weathering layer of solar cell backboard.
