Abstract

The invention discloses a method for detecting and determining hot spots of a solar cell. The method comprises the following steps: testing hot spots of the solar cell; classifying the hot spots of the solar cell; determining the hot spots of the solar cell; and the like. According to the method disclosed by the invention, whether the solar cell has a risk of hot spots or not can be quickly and reliably detected and determined; and the determination is accurate.

Description

The detection of solar cell hot spot and decision method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of detection and decision method of solar cell hot spot.
Background technology
Along with the extensive use of solar cell, some unfavorable factors affecting photovoltaic module power generation performance and life-span thereof also occur thereupon, and hot spot effect is exactly one of them.So-called hot spot effect, refers to when the battery of in assembly or a Battery pack are blocked or damage, and operating current has exceeded the short circuit current that this battery or battery pack reduce, and hot spot heating can occur in assembly.Now affected battery or battery pack are placed in reverse-bias state, consumed power, thus cause overheated.Temperature is too high assembly regional area may be caused to burn or form blackening, the permanent damage such as solder joint melts, encapsulating material is aging, glass rupture, welding corrosion, cause great hidden danger to the safety and reliability of assembly.
Cause a lot of because have of assembly hot spot, one of them key factor is solar cell hot spot.Solar cell hot spot refers under certain condition, in battery somewhere owing to hiddenly to split, the local temperature that causes of edge current leakage, burning etc. is too high.If this cell piece is used for photovoltaic module, under given conditions, probably can causes assembly hot spot, cause assembly to damage.
At present, most photovoltaic module manufacturer is for the management and control of hot spot, and the method for employing extracts assembly in proportion to do hot spot test, and solar cell does not do hot spot and detects.There is two problems in this kind of way, one is very limited by the component count inspected by random samples, and most assembly does not detect through any hot spot, considerably increases the risk that hot spot effect in use occurs assembly.Two is that hot spot test period of assembly is longer, cannot realize the timely feedback to the solar cell quality of production.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of easy and simple to handle, fast and reliable, the detection of economical and practical solar cell hot spot and decision method.
Technical solution of the present invention is:
The detection of solar cell hot spot and a decision method, is characterized in that: comprise the following steps:
(1) solar cell hot spot test
Certain reverse biased is added to solar cell, maintains the regular hour, record hot spot position and the shape of this solar cell;
(2) solar cell hot spot classification
Hot spot is divided into following three types by the position occurred according to solar cell hot spot and shape:
If hot spot appears at four corners of solar cell, long for L1, wide be the rectangular region of W1, this hot spot type definition is Corner;
If hot spot appears at four limits of solar cell, long for L1, wide be W2 or long for L2, wide be the rectangular region of W1, this hot spot type definition is MiddleEdge;
If hot spot appears at the centre of solar cell, long for L2, wide be the rectangular region of W2, shape is circle, and this hot spot type definition is SiNxArea;
(3) solar cell hot spot judges
For the solar cell hot spot of Corner and MiddleEdge two type, can directly be judged to be excessive risk hot spot, this type of battery is not useable for assembly; For SiNxArea type, need judge in conjunction with electric leakage, electric leakage > 0.3A's, be judged to be hot spot excessive risk, be not useable for assembly, electric leakage < 0.3A's, be judged to be hot spot low-risk, can be used for assembly.
Step adds certain reverse biased to solar cell described in (1), maintains the regular hour, refers to reverse biased >=20V, maintain at least 200ms.
The present invention can detect fast, reliably and judge whether solar cell has hot spot risk, differentiates accurately.
The present invention only need carry out hot spot detection and judgement to solar cell, just substantially can realize the control to photovoltaic module hot spot, greatly reduce the hot spot risk caused by solar cell.Further, adopt in this way, to the detection of monolithic battery and judge can complete in very short time, convenient and swift, accurately and reliably.
Accompanying drawing explanation
Below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the invention will be further described.
Fig. 1 is solar cell hot spot position and schematic shapes
Fig. 2 is the infrared figure of Corner hot spot
Fig. 3 is the infrared figure of MiddleEdge hot spot
Fig. 4 is the infrared figure of SiNXArea hot spot.
Embodiment
Embodiment 1:
The detection of novel solar battery hot spot and a decision method, wherein: to the reverse voltage of tested solar cell applying >=20V, maintain at least 200ms, use IR-Camera to gather the hot spot picture of tested battery.As shown in Figure 2, hot spot appears at a corner of cell piece, and maximum temperature point is certain point near cell piece summit, and heat is along this point to cell piece internal radiation, and shape is roughly fan-shaped, and according to our definition, this kind of hot spot type is Corner.Therefore we judge that this cell piece has high hot spot risk, are not useable for making assembly.
Embodiment 2:
The detection of novel solar battery hot spot and a decision method, wherein: the reverse voltage of applying >=20V, maintain at least 200ms, uses IR-Camera to gather the hot spot picture of tested battery.As shown in Figure 3, hot spot appears at an edge of cell piece, and maximum temperature point is certain point near cell piece edge, heat is along this point to cell piece internal radiation, shape is roughly semicircle, and according to our definition, this kind of hot spot type is MiddleEdge.Therefore we judge that this cell piece has high hot spot risk, are not useable for making assembly.
Embodiment 3:
The detection of novel solar battery hot spot and a decision method, wherein: to the reverse voltage of tested solar cell applying >=20V, maintain at least 200ms, use IR-Camera to gather the hot spot picture of tested battery.As shown in Figure 4, hot spot appears at the inside of cell piece, and maximum temperature point is certain point of cell piece inside, and heat is along this point to surrounding radiation, and shape is roughly circle, and according to our definition, this kind of hot spot type is SiNxArea.And recording this cell piece reverse current corresponding under particular inverse voltage is >=1.0A, and therefore we judge that this cell piece has high hot spot risk, are not useable for making assembly.
