Background technology
Solar cell is the device of electric energy by photoelectric effect light energy conversion.Owing to having the advantages such as permanent, spatter property, flexibility, it is considered to a kind of novel energy of following main development, and in the near future, solar cell can Substitute For Partial conventional energy resource, becomes the main body of world energy supplies.
Solar cell is a stepped construction normally, is followed successively by clear glass cover plate/sealant ethene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA glue)/cell piece/EVA glue/backboard from top to bottom.Whole solar cell is by framing up form sealing four sides after above-mentioned each material lamination again.The Main Function of its dorsulum is the overall mechanical strength improving solar panel, intercepts water vapor permeable in sealant, to ensure the useful life of cell piece simultaneously.Therefore, solar cell backboard must have good electrical breakdown withstand, ageing-resistant, weather, the characteristic such as corrosion-resistant.
Current solar cell backboard is produced by multilayer film thermoforming way mostly.For the most frequently used TPT, its preparation method is that independently film is hot-forming by the bonding of macromolecule adhesive with polyvinyl fluoride/PETG/polyvinyl fluoride (being called for short PVF/PET/PVF) three layers.Pet layer is wherein as matrix, and main rising is insulated and supporting role; Two outer field PVF, due to molecular skeleton containing fluorin radical, can play ageing-resistant and corrosion-resistant effect.In order to obtain the performances such as better barrier, weatherability, Kynoar (PVDF) can be used to substitute PVF.
There is the problems such as the high and interlaminar adhesion of material cost is low in the production of Present Domestic solar energy backboard, in backsheet layer, the production of PET basement membrane is mature on the whole, but the production technology difficulty of PVF or PVDF is larger, almost can not autonomous production, substantially rely on external import, cause the defect that backboard membrane material cost is higher thus.In addition, because fluoropolymer surface can be low, making PET and PVF(or PVDF) bonding strength is inadequate between rete, and easily cause and be separated from each other between each layer of backboard membrane and cause the hydraulic performance decline such as barrier, weatherability, corrosion resistance of whole backboard membrane, thus affect the useful life of battery.Therefore, adopt multilayer film hot press forming technology, very harsh to the requirement of macromolecule adhesive formula.
Between current solution backboard cost and each layer, the method for caking property problem has two kinds, on the one hand, uses fluororesin-coated formation fluorine layer to carry out alternative traditional fluorine film, reaches the object reduced costs; On the other hand, carry out corona treatment at fluorine film or polyester base film surface, suitably improve the caking property between two membranes.Publication number is CN101272903, publication date is the Chinese invention patent of on 09 24th, 2008, provide a kind of solar cell backboard adopting fluorine-containing coat replacement fluorine film, this fluorine-containing coat is the fluoropolymer having imported solidification functional group, in order to improve the caking property between fluorine layer and basic unit or sealant layer.Publication number is CN101515603A, publication date is the Chinese invention patent application of on 08 26th, 2009, provide a kind of solar cell backboard, give three kinds of versions: the first is in sheet material one side of impermeability coating fluorine-containing coat, at another side compound fluorine-contained film; The second is respectively coated with fluorine-containing coat in the sheet material two sides of impermeability; The third is in sheet material one side of impermeability coating fluorine-containing coat, then in the outer coating surface coating of fluorine-containing coat, finally in sheet material another side coating fluorine-containing coat.The backboard membrane of above structure partly or entirely replaces fluorine rete by coating fluorine-containing coat, thus reduces material cost to a certain extent, also improves the caking property between each layer of backboard membrane from the improvement of fluorine material or adhesive.
Due to the permanence (needing to use more than 20 years out of doors) of solar cell service time, whole battery component be kept to have good barrier, weatherability and corrosion resistance, and to ensure its useful life, the caking property between each layer of backboard membrane is most important.The applicant thinks except improving fluororesin or adhesive, or carries out outside corona treatment to fluorine film or polyester base film surface, is necessary to make further improvements polyester base material, to improve the adhesive property between each layer of backboard membrane as far as possible.
