Fig. 7 is the flow chart of the PV module process illustrated for the preparation of top.In a step 702, the glass substrate of PV module is provided for.As mentioned above, glass substrate can have different types and quality (such as, the first glass substrate can be the glass of high-transmission rate/low iron type).This glass substrate can be processed thus make substrate have suitable girth and edge treated, carrys out the particular implementation (such as, the design of glass substrate can be depending on its application, such as skylight) for PV module.Further, the specific pattern using above-mentioned pottery to be formed can be added.
Then, in step 704, glass substrate can by hot forming, to meet the use specification of PV module.When glass substrate surface configuration and/or geometrical body meet specific application and close specification, in step 706, the PV layer containing PV battery is inserted between glass substrate.
As mentioned above, thin-film solar cells (such as, CIGS or CIS etc.) can be used in the exemplary embodiment.In the exemplary embodiment, glass substrate can be formed (such as, the curvature of glass substrate can be greater than standard) forcefully.In this exemplary embodiment, the thin-film solar cells of similar CIGS is preferably.However, it should be understood that, also can implement the solar battery technology (such as, crystal silicon solar energy battery) of other types.
In step 708, the PV layer that pressure layer material comes between packaged glass substrate can be applied.The similar material such as polyvinyl butyral resin (PVB) or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) can be used in the exemplary embodiment.In the exemplary embodiment, the thickness range of PVB can be 0.1-1.0mm, is more preferably 0.38 or 0.76mm.In the exemplary embodiment, adjustable specific laminated material provides long-term durability and lasting cohesive.Also other laminated materials of apparatus similar adhesive intensity, sealing, durability, optical signature and/or other speciality can be made.Such as, in the exemplary embodiment, a component, two components or multi-component polyurethane can be used.Adhesive (such as, Pressuresensitive Adhesive) can be used in the exemplary embodiment.In step 720, after glass substrate, PV layer and laminated material are combined (such as, directly towards), PV module can be heated and pressure.The application of heating and/or pressure can promote to be sealed in the bonding of two glass substrates PV layer wherein by lamination.Further, in the exemplary embodiment, heating and pressure can make laminated material (such as, PVB) become transparent.Certainly specific laminated material also processes process by other modes, instead of heats and pressure, such as, and UV curing materials.
When two glass substrates and the PV layer that is clipped in the middle combine, it is similar single integrated unit (such as, similar be installed in car in common skylight) structurally.Therefore, in step 712, newly-generated PV module is mounted to roof.In other words, according to size or the design in common skylight, two glass substrates and lamination sealing PV array junctions are in-between synthesized an integrated unit, and be proportionally shapingly substantially similar to common skylight.At this, the process of preparation PV module can make the cost reduction of car assembling process.First, vehicular manufacturer may currently not need the main body revising vehicle to hold the skylight being equipped with PV.The second, in the exemplary embodiment, integrated PV module (such as, the skylight of the integrated PV array of tool) can be provided, vehicular manufacturer by be similar to common skylight is installed mode to install wrapped PV module.The method can be vehicular manufacturer and saves time and money.In addition, in the exemplary embodiment, the thickness of sizing glass substrate and PV array can be less than common skylight.Correspondingly, installation is equipped with the skylight of PV can not reduce available whole clear height in vehicle.In the exemplary embodiment, integrated PV module can have substantially similar to common skylight thickness, thus can be retracted to open skylight.
As known in this technology, conventional skylight is by using the injection molding system of thermoplastic or using the reaction injection molding process of conventional polyurethanes packed.This technology can promote sealing and the installation of glass sunroof.Equally, integrated PV module (such as, PV module 200) is also by using similar or identical technology packed.Correspondingly, such as, existing roof assembly can directly be replaced by the PV module 200 that this technology is packed.In addition, be packaged with the route being beneficial to conductor and connector to come for PV function (such as, electrical lead etc.).
Should be understood that in different embodiment of the present invention, the step shown in Fig. 7 can be performed by different order and/or some steps can not perform.Such as, laminated material can be provided to glass substrate, then by PV battery folder between laminated material and glass substrate.
The specific PV module used in particular vehicle (such as, automobile) may need to meet public use standard.Should be understood that technology described herein can provide to meet and/or more than the requirement of AS-3 laminated material.Such as, in exemplary embodiment by following test: 1) 30ft. drop-dart impact test; 2) 30ft. bead impact test; 3) boiling test in 2 hours; With 4) water smoke contacted two weeks.In addition, other exemplary embodiments meet or by other undesired tests, such as, 1) salt fog contact in two weeks; 2) 1000 hours 85 degree/85%RH expose; 3) shear test of the PV solar cell in PV module; With 4) copper busbar shear test.Therefore, exemplary embodiment can meet and/exceed certain test (such as, security, durability etc.).
Although exemplary embodiment is illustrated use thermal flexure, in other exemplary embodiments, alternatively, or cold bend(ing) in addition also can be used to form glass substrate.
Although exemplary embodiment is illustrated use TFSC, in other exemplary embodiments, also can use the solar cell of other types.Such as crystalline silicon (c-Si) together can use with above-mentioned technology.Non-crystalline silicon (such as, a-Si), microcrystal silicon can be used in other exemplary embodiments, and/or other materials.
In various embodiments, glass substrate can have identical or different composition.Such as, in the exemplary embodiment, the substrate of low iron can be provided to be used as outermost substrate, and relatively provide the material of more cheap type to come for interior substrate.It can provide necessary intensity and thickness, more potential light can be made to enter simultaneously and touch PV layer.Configuring the whole performance that low transmittance glass can not affect module on substrate in the PV layer side of the sun.
Those skilled in the art should be understood that the use of the glass substrate of tool difference composition, and glass substrate may be caused to have different heating coefficients.Such as, time compared with the second glass substrate, the first glass substrate can have relatively low iron percentage.Because the second glass substrate can have higher iron counting, compare the first glass substrate and can heat more quickly (such as, because iron absorbs more heat).Correspondingly, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the first and second glass substrates may be different.Should be understood that when the coefficient of thermal expansion of two kinds of laminated materials is different, because bi-material is with different rate extension and contraction, can not lamination be kept.Therefore, the correct heating attribute identifying two kinds of laminated materials is needed.Such as, when using infrared ray (IR) heat and/or be exposed to IR, the difference of CTE is very important.Different iron-holder means different IR absorptivities.
For solve a method of this problem be adjustment any one or bi-material on heat.Such as, under " normally " condition, when the first glass substrate add ratio of specific heat second glass substrate slow time, can use and heat or heat is removed (such as, passing through heat sink) from the second glass substrate is increased to the first glass substrate.Thus, in the exemplary embodiment, for the difference of the heating coefficient with the second substrate, first (such as, low iron) substrate preferentially can be heated.In the exemplary embodiment, the heating attribute of assembly can be enhanced and optimize, and such as, guarantees that substrate is suitably laminated to another.Exemplary heating attribute can be consider different glass ingredients etc.Also can be adjustment laminated material composition and/or select special laminated material, such as, for above-mentioned difference.
According to the heating attribute considering first and second substrate heterogeneity, lamination step can comprise first and second substrate of heating.Similarly, according to the heating attribute considering first and second substrate heterogeneity, thermal flexure can be carried out to first and second substrate (such as, together or respectively).
The shortcoming be incorporated into by solar cell in the skylight of vehicle is, such as solar cell is not transparent.Certainly, complete transparency can not be expected, because passenger and/or car over-heat inside can be made from the undue heat of whole sunshine.But, when the energy collecting the sun strengthens the electric generation system of vehicle, allow some light to be transferred in vehicle and balance.Not transparent due to most of solar cell or be positioned on transparent substrate, therefore, need a kind of technology replaced, allow the light of predetermined quantity through PV skylight and enter vehicle interior.
Present inventor recognizes the necessity of this balance, and correspondingly have studied and prepare multiple through hole in solar cells and enter to possibility in compartment by making the incident light of fraction.(although other article of commerce have higher or lower transmission of visible light, such as, different vehicles, different vehicles etc.), some business skylights have the transmission of visible light of about 10%.Therefore, when providing PV function, sometimes need to match with percentage transmission.
But, although at least transmissivity can be increased by the through hole of series of rules in theory and quite easily manufactured, but the present inventor finds that solar cell must be clipped between two adhesive layers by the method, is bonded to the inside and outside of sheet glass successively and prepares glass laminates structure.Particularly, the present inventor finds in lamination process, and a solar cell or the set of solar battery group can make in adhesive flow hand-hole with during aperture, and generate non-scattered path by the hole be filled.Therefore, compared with the problem solved with through hole, in fact it can cause more problem, even if through hole is not filled, light is passed wherein, but still can generate irregular outward appearance, such as, when observing from the passenger's angle vehicle.
At this, unexpected discovery, in view of the foregoing and in exemplary enforcement, there is no need to consider that PV skylight lamination and other non-skylight glass laminations (windshield etc.) change lamination process.That is, find at this, in view of the foregoing and in exemplary enforcement, there is no need compared with other non-skylight glass laminations (windshield etc.) as PV skylight lamination customizes adhesive type and temperature, pressure, cycle, and other associated processing conditions.
On the contrary, find at this, the hole dimension of subset, aspect ratio, and the optimum efficiency of spacing tool uniqueness, it can meet the condition in adhesive flow hand-hole, thus adhesive can be filled up or almost fill up opening, thus non-scattered is through opening enter compartment, and when observing from the passenger's angle vehicle, have evenly (more attractive in appearance) outward appearance.
Thus, client's request of preparation displine opening in the PV battery on laminated roof, some openings causing finding in only PV structure make lamination there is no the bubble (usual air, but be sometimes other gases) of delay.Therefore, exemplary embodiment of the present invention considers the geometry in hole, issuable air trapping during reducing manufacture.
Fig. 8 a illustrates according to exemplary embodiment, the schematic cross-sectional view of the assembly in the hole of tool appropriate size before lamination.Should be understood that Fig. 8 a and Fig. 8 b, 9a, 9b do not show in proportion.Such as, glass substrate usual specific viscosity mixture and solar cell thick.Meanwhile, hole may be less than the thickness of glass, and/or shape can be regular or irregular.In the exemplary embodiment, hole can have a key dimension, and is greater than other key dimension.Such as, hole can be groove, can be 1mm or less at minor face, and long limit can be 1mm or longer.
As shown in Figure 8 a, solar cell storehouse 80 is sandwiched between first and second substrate 804a, 804b.Binding material 806 is configured in the one or both sides of solar cell storehouse 802.In solar cell storehouse 802, form a hole 808, increase the transmission of visible light (such as compared with not configuring the situation in hole) entered in vehicle.Although should be understood that a hole shown in Fig. 8 a, also can be provide multiple hole in regular or irregular configuration.
Fig. 8 b illustrates in exemplary enforcement, the schematic cross-sectional view of the change that Fig. 8 a embodiment occurs in lamination cycle.Fig. 8 b illustrate lamination follow bad in, adhesive will cling glass, consistent with its plane, and cling solar cell, consistent with its plane.By the size in choose reasonable hole, adhesive is also by the lax opening also fully or substantially fully inserting hole.Light through adhesive, preferably, does not see the interface of any air-adhesive and/or any textured surface (such as, relevant with the bubble caused by the gas because accumulating etc.).
Fig. 9 a be lamination is shown before the schematic cross-sectional view of assembly of opening 808 ' of the inappropriate size of tool.Fig. 9 b is the exemplary plot of the consequence of the opening of the inappropriate size illustrated with lamination Fig. 9 a.As shown in the example of Fig. 9 b, adhesive 806 is not inserted in opening 808' completely or not in large quantities.Interface 904a, 904b on the contrary along air-adhesive form air pocket 902.According to different situation, the shape of interface 904a and 904b can be level and smooth or irregular, and sometimes can partly contact with each other.Should be understood that the incident light in these features can be height scattering or bending, thus cause invalid Transmission light through the opening in solar cell storehouse 802.Its possibility of result is less-than-ideal outward appearance and/or does not meet target visible light transmission rate.

In Figure 10 a example, in the every other row of grid, configure opening.In larger region 1002a, configure two openings 1008a, 1008b, and only configure an opening 1008c in less region 1002b.Each opening 1008 has formed objects and shape.As mentioned above, opening 1008 can be formulated size and shape, to meet target visible light transmission rate.In the exemplary embodiment of Figure 10 a, opening is the channel-shaped with fillet.The external diameter of groove is 23mm, and internal diameter is 1mm.Therefore, opening is about 23 square millimeters in the zone.But opening 1008 minimum range that may correspond between edge of opening and conductive material is further controlled (such as, collecting line, grid etc.).Find at this, such as, the distance of the edge-to-edge of about 1mm is enough to prevent short circuit, otherwise may make module section or can not run completely.The preferably distance of about 2mm, and be more preferably the distance of about 3 millimeters.
In the exemplary embodiment, opening can be concentrated between the grid lines in height dimension.Can flatly be concentrated between the edge of module and contiguous bus 1006 for less region 1002b, opening 1008c.For larger region 1002a, the opposite edges of opening 1008a, 1008b can be equally spaced respectively from its contiguous bus 1006.
As mentioned above, Figure 10 a is illustrated in many-side.Figure 10 b is the top view of the more general PV module in the hole of the tool appropriate size illustrated according to an exemplary embodiment.As shown in the figure, bus is removed, and provides typical or the size of example.It should be understood, of course, that these sizes can be modified in different exemplary embodiments.Similarly, difform opening can be provided in one or more different embodiment.Particularly, as shown in fig. lob, the main distance of opening is the secondary distance of 30mm and opening is 1mm.Opening in periphery and edge are separated by 2.3mm, such as, multiple module can be made to be coupled mutually and/or to be coupled to vehicle etc.The spaced 5mm of adjacent opening, thus there is enough spaces come, for bus or other main electrical connections, to reduce short circuit equally likely possibility.
Figure 11 is the chart that aspect ratio and element thickness in the lamination for the success and failure in exemplary rectangular hole are shown.The length that the figure of Figure 11 indicates exemplary rectangular hole compares wide ratio (with general unit) and cell thickness (such as, mils).The length and width geometry of laminated material (namely representing failure) is not inserted in region the signal more than line in Figure 11, and the length and width geometry of laminated material is inserted in the region signal below line.Different curves, such as shown in Figure 11, the hole of dissimilar geometry can be developed into (such as, square, rectangle, avette, hexagon, and/or the hole of other shapes), laminated material, high pressure or heat treatment cycle and processing conditions (such as temperature, pressure, cycle etc.) etc.The value of boundary curve based on selected materials, can be determined or is calculated in theory by rule of thumb.Different please under condition, boundary line can be bent or be essentially straight line.
Figure 12 is the flow chart of the PV module process in the hole of the tool appropriate size for the preparation of vehicle illustrated according to an exemplary embodiment.As shown in figure 12, in step S1102, determine the geometry in the hole being suitable for target visible light transmission rate and making jointing material flowing wherein.As mentioned above, the size in hole can be considered, aspect ratio, and interval, meet the condition in adhesive flow hand-hole, such as, specific jointing material, PV module thickness etc.In step S1104, one or more hole can be formed in PV module, such as, according to the geometry in selected hole.Hole is formed by any suitable technology.Such as, by laser scribing (such as, use Hitachi through the equipment of U.S.'s mechanics Company, it is modified to meet demand and sets size, position, layout etc., or any other supplier), cutting, perforation and/or any other suitable technology form hole.Glass substrate is provided in step S1106.As mentioned above, this substrate can be bent.In step S1108, by glass substrate with wherein form porose PV module layer and force together.As a part for this process, jointing material flows in hole.Preferably, along with lamination, hole is filled or substantially fills up, thus in the region of access hole, does not have obvious interval and/or do not have other interface.In addition, along with lamination, assembly there is no bubble etc.In step S1110, PV assembly is finally provided to come for installing (such as, as the skylight in vehicle).
