Description

Solar module and for the method for the wiring of solar cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of solar module, it comprises the solar cell being arranged on carrier, and described solar cell is by means of connector wiring.The invention still further relates to a kind of for the solar cell with the first and second contact sites being wired as to the method for module, wherein said solar cell is arranged on carrier with dorsal part, described carrier has the first and second electric connectors, by described electric connector, described solar cell with its first and second contact site at wiring point by wiring.
Background technology
In order to utilize solar cell that suitable voltage or power is provided, known described solar cell is wired as to larger unit.In order to manufacture corresponding module, cell parallel or in series each other wiring and be embedded in suitable transparent encapsulating material, as in ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).In front side, corresponding module is covered by sheet glass conventionally, and covers by the composite plastic film of efflorescence prevention, as polyvinyl fluoride (TEDLAR) and polyester at dorsal part.Module itself is surrounded by framework for example made of aluminum.
Typical solar module on silicon wafer base has contact site on front side and dorsal part.For the wiring of solar cell, the front contact site of a solar cell is connected with the back of the body contact site of solar cell below.Therefore, wiring bunchiness is possible.At this, the connector between battery must have enough length, so that the relative motion that permission causes due to heat.This causes again, and solar cell is arranged to each other certain spacing apart, makes to produce inactive module faces.Cause thus and due to the contact site extending in front side---as contact finger and the bus-bar that is connected with connector conduction---cover and emergent power loses.
The in the situation that of the contact solar cell of front side, conventionally be applied to conductive grid towards light side (it consists of current collector (grid refers to) and electric drainager (bus-bar)) and at least by continuous metal layer (as aluminium) or at the silicon nitride layer of dorsal part passivation, be connected, the depression that described silicon nitride layer has as dorsal part contact site contacts for aluminium.The so-called double-side cell in addition with printing opacity dorsal part contact site that belongs to front contact solar cell.
The series connection of corresponding solar cell is carried out conventionally in the following way: solar cell individually welds together with the contact zones (it is for example become by zinc-plated copper) that are called battery connector, is then combined into so-called string and series connection.Described string arranges tabularly, and by other zinc-plated copper strips serial wiring.
In order to realize higher efficiency and higher power thus, can use dorsal part contact solar cell, two contact sites of described dorsal part contact solar cell are all arranged in battery dorsal part, dorsad in the side of light beam.Avoided thus owing to removing the bus-bar on the battery front side of light beam and also may remove according to solar cell types less desirable the covering that the contact finger on front side causes.In addition, the packaging density of the solar cell of module can be enhanced, because can use coplanar connector.
The in the situation that of corresponding dorsal part contact solar cell, conventionally at metal, around logical (MWT, Metal Wrap Through) solar cell and emitter, between logical (EWT, Emitter Wrap Through) solar cell, distinguish.The in the situation that of MWT solar cell, contact site and back of the body contact site before existing.Pass through Semiconductor substrate---as silicon wafer---in hole, so front contact site is directed into dorsal part.Hole such as boring is for example metallized by Ag conductive paste, and around the region of penetration and all the other region insulation of dorsal part on dorsal part, makes electric current can be transmitted to from front side dorsal part and be received there.The advantage of this circuit is no longer to need the electric drainager (bus-bar) of shading, and the higher clarity of front grid is provided thus.
The in the situation that of EWT solar cell, the n layer that forms emitter is directed into dorsal part through the very little boring in wafer, and by the metal level of point-like---so-called through hole contact site---as far as possible, is touched there.Therefore, also claim some contact solar cell.The advantage of this battery is, the common front grid on front side fully phases out, and by by being that the metallization that radially-arranged finger forms replaces about through hole contact site, thus for light incident provides best as far as possible transparency.
But drawn shortcoming is that wafer does not tolerate mechanical load due to boring.
Known for fear of described shortcoming, with the combination being formed by film and copper strips, come wiring dorsal part contact solar cell (such as " the Conductive adhesives for interconnection of busbar-less emitter wrap-through solar cells on a structured metal foil " referring to people such as D.W.Eikelboom, 17th PVSEC Fukuoka Japan, 2001,1547 pages).But this causes the mechanical load of solar cell, because surround the insert material of solar cell, realize relatively large transverse movement, described transverse movement may be due to the contraction during the required laminating technology of manufacturing module and because the high thermal coefficient of expansion of organic film occurs.
In different publications, described around logical solar cell, to produce the emitter of solar cell and the contact between dorsal part, so that be finally to realize wiring by dorsal part contact site.
For the wiring of dorsal part contact solar cell, known coplanar connector.At this, described connector is present in Metal Substrate and scribbles dielectric layer, wherein contact finger specific placement has been realized on battery dorsal part to thinner bus-bar design.At this, described connector may be implemented as various geometries, and substantially by welding method, with at least two positions, is fixed on each battery.The shortcoming of this connection plan is the bothersome location of battery and the limited cross section of connector and connector, because flat connection can improve fill factor.

From US-A-5, known a kind of for the method to the wiring of dorsal part contact solar cell in 972,732 or US-A-5,951,786.At this, arrange electric conductor being called as on the base of carrier element, so that dorsal part contact solar cell that then will wiring navigates on described electric conductor, make the contact site of described dorsal part contact solar cell for desired wiring, aim at electric conductor.Then, encapsulation through the solar cell of wiring is carried out in a usual manner, be that solar cell is embedded into material encirclement substantially, described insert material stands transverse movement extending with its face the temperature fluctuation especially meeting with due to module in horizontal direction, on the one hand may there is the damage of solar cell itself thus, and coming off of occurring on the other hand that dorsal part contact site is connected with conduction between electric conductor.
It is to carry out under the background that should avoid or reduce mechanical load that solar cell is flexibly embedded in insert material.But measure, draw: the motion of solar cell in the material flexibly embedding is 120 μ m, and the temperature expansion of expection is over 4 times.
Therefore, flexibly embed and cause high mechanical load, consequently, itself may break series-connection connector and battery, and contact site may come off the in the situation that of back of the body contact battery.
Can determine in a word, the in the situation that of conventional solar module, have following shortcoming:
-bothersome and the intensive manufacture method of cost,
-bad utilization due to photosensitive region to module area,
-restriction to the thickness of the series-connection connector of the welding being made of copper, and the high resistance of the lead-in wire causing thus and the high electrical loss that is associated with it,
-very thin silicon wafer or the mechanical load between solar cell,
-solar cell is due to the intensification of solar radiation in bad heat radiation situation, consequently the power stage reducing of solar cell is, the higher mechanical load of bad cooling, the whole module complex of the shorter life-span of electronic device, bypass diode
-high the module weight that causes due to glass carrier or dual glass carrier,
-fixed cost, considers in the material behavior of using in glass carrier situation,
-problem in contact box, bypass diode are connected into module substrate time.

According to a further aspect in the invention, should optimize the spacing between battery, reduce the risk of rupture of LED reverse mounting type, and optimize heat radiation.
Also should compare with known module and realize weight and reduce, and needn't bear the loss of stability aspect.In addition, should realize no problem integrated of bypass diode or contact box.
Fully cooling possibility also should be provided in addition.
In order to solve one or more aspect of the present invention, substantially stipulate: carrier is stable, that side structure that is furnished with solar cell in carrier and from above longitudinally caves in, in longitudinal depression and insert connector vertical the extending upward of described longitudinal depression, connector insulate with respect to carrier, and solar cell outside longitudinal depression plane earth or substantially plane earth be arranged on carrier or the layer that extends on carrier on.
The present invention especially relates to a kind of solar module, wherein solar cell at tie point place by means of electric connector wiring, and described solar module is characterised in that, connector in depression outside wiring point relative to each other and with respect to carrier electric insulation arrange.At this, especially stipulate: carrier stable, that be intrinsic rigidity is made by metal foam, as aluminum foam, zinc foam or copper foam.
Connector is vertical the extending upward of longitudinally caving in.Longitudinally depression needn't have the opening of running through, and therefore in carrier, structure sunward can unlimited passage or the groove of battery.Certainly do not depart from of the present inventionly, described longitudinal depression or some of them longitudinally depression have the opening of running through, but described in run through opening plane extend the sub-fraction only with longitudinal depression.
Connector is presented in longitudinal depression, and the longitudinal axis that wherein connector caves in along the longitudinal with its longitudinal axis extends.If a plurality of connectors are longitudinally extending in depression, these connectors relative to each other insulate.If longitudinally the carrier in the border of depression conducts electricity, also with respect to described border, carry out electric insulation.
The in the situation that of common contact device, distribute to the length of longitudinal depression of solar cell---or the length of a plurality of longitudinal depressions, if there are a plurality of longitudinal depressions under solar cell---at least equal solar cell along the extension of described longitudinal depression or a plurality of longitudinal depressions.Preferably, longitudinally the length of depression or a plurality of longitudinal depressions is at least twice of solar cell length of observation on longitudinal cave in longitudinal.
Especially stipulate: the length of longitudinal depression of extending under solar cell string at least equals the length of this string, especially equals the twice of the length of this string.
About wiring point, should be noted that, described wiring point not only can be constructed to point-like, and for example also can be constructed to linear, as the dorsal part contact solar cell in the situation that being especially, the pectination contact structures that wherein front side of extending on dorsal part are connected with dorsal part contact site are connected by the connector being arranged in the depression in carrier.For example, from WO-A-2010/027265(Fig. 2) can learn pectination contact structures.
According to the present invention, for solar cell being carried out to the required connector of wiring, arrange in the plane of the lower face extension that is carrier, on described surface, install and fixed solar battery.
The possibility existing is thus, solar cell spacing is each other compared with known configuration and is reduced and therefore can optimal module area.The advantage simultaneously drawing is, the connector extending in longitudinal depression, as passage is compared and can be had larger cross section with conventional connector, makes to occur less electrical loss.
Because connector extends outside the bearing-surface of each solar cell, therefore described connector can flat ground be directly arranged on carrier otherwise arrange be to extend on carrier substantially not the layer of deflection, as on film, make to avoid the cell fracture causing due to the copper strips as connector along stationary plane extension according to prior art.
As the material for carrier, can consider material electric insulation or conduction.If use electrical insulating material, especially should be mentioned that plastic foam, the material consisting of as cardboard, dipping lacquer paper pulp and paperboard cellulose and/or waste paper.The circuit board of being made by phenolic resins or frosting material also can be used as carrier.The in the situation that of electric conducting material, especially preferable alloy foam, wherein for example should be mentioned that aluminum foam, zinc foam or copper foam, wherein mixed magnesium if desired.
By metal foam is used as to carrier, not only can compare processing carrier more simply with the carrier of being made by glass, and guarantee good heat radiation simultaneously, improve thus the power stage of solar cell.
In addition, can be without problems the required device of module or bypass diode of assembly etc. be integrated in the carrier that also claims module body or module board.Especially the possibility of existence is, constructs cooling duct in carrier, can be flowed through by cooling fluid in described cooling duct.
In addition, carrier can be equipped with boring without problems, and described boring can utilize screw to implement when for example module being fixed on roof.
In order to suppress short circuit, the surface of metal foam sheets is equipped with durable insulating barrier.The possibility also existing is to manufacture hybrid combining by the plastics with the metal foam body of perforate or closed pore.If insulating barrier is made of plastics, described insulating barrier can be by for keeping insulating fabrics or the wool of insulation characterisitic to strengthen.Meanwhile, the surperficial desired spacing of wool or insulating fabrics assurance and metal foam sheets.
The possibility also existing is, at closed pore carrier, as insulator in the situation that, on the carrier of being made by metal foam or by metal oxide layer, constructs oxide skin(coating).
Guarantee on the one hand the wiring between solar cell and guarantee that on the other hand the connector of the lateral connector that is used for electric current to discharge is integrated in carrier from module, wherein said connector is especially isolated by insulating material and metallic carrier electricity.Connector can have desired cross section, to line resistance is kept littlely, and does not have the danger of cell fracture, because solar cell can not be placed on connector in the situation that departing from precognition structure.
Longitudinally depression can be when manufacturing carrier, also when being shaped, be constructed, or by processing afterwards, as by milling, polish or be pressed into and construct.
If front side contact solar cell is wired as module, in its front side, there is the electric drainager of especially being made by copper or aluminium.Described electric drainager is connected with the connector material extending in longitudinally caving in ordinatedly by Connection Element.At this, the Connection Element that contact site sends in the past extends along the relative longitudinal edge of each solar cell, or passes the perforation of solar cell.Independently to this, the possibility that realizes wiring by the Connection Element that in the past contact sites send via two has guaranteed: half that each Connection Element only must light conducting electric current, reduce thus electrical loss or need less connector intensity, this causes the less heating power load of solar cell.
Connector can be used as function filler rod and is put in longitudinal depression, and manufactures as semi-finished product.Therefore existing possibility is, manufactures in advance semi-finished product, and the carrier through assembling is correspondingly provided, and solar cell is placed on described carrier and is then electrically connected.
