Description

Solar cell coated copper wire grid current collector structure and preparation method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a solar cell current collector structure and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the rise of global air temperature and the increase of environmental pollution, the application of fossil fuels including coal, petroleum, natural gas and the like as main energy sources is increasingly limited, and the reserves of fossil fuels are gradually exhausted with the increase of the usage. The use of renewable energy, especially solar energy, will be the dominant clean energy source. Solar cells have been rapidly developed over the past decade as core devices and applications for photovoltaic power generation. At present, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is higher than the cost of traditional petrochemical energy, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a solar cell is improved as soon as possible, the manufacturing cost of devices is reduced, the photovoltaic power generation can compete with the petrochemical energy earlier, and the development of clean energy technology is promoted.
Currently, solar cell products mainly include crystalline silicon including monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon and thin films including amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium tin and other cells. The cell structure is a semiconductor photodiode with a P-N junction, and photon energy of sunlight is mainly converted into electric energy through photo-generated electrons, namely a photovoltaic effect. The P-N junction of the battery generates current and then is converged to a collector (main grid line) through a grid electrode (thin grid line) on the surface of the battery to be output. At present, a screen printing process is mainly adopted for preparing a silver film electrode grid line, and then a copper foil belt with a tin plated surface is used as a current collector to be welded on the silver film electrode grid line. Typical silver grid line width is 70-80 mu m, line spacing is 2-3mm, copper collector foil strip width is 1-2mm, and spacing is 30-100mm, so that shading area of grid and collector on the surface of the battery is larger, and photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery is reduced. The design and structure of the grid and the collector are important to the improvement of the photoelectric efficiency of the solar cell. If the shading area of the electrode on the surface of the battery can be reduced under the condition of not influencing current transmission, the luminous flux of the incident battery can be increased, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery is effectively improved.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the surface of a battery 1 is transversely provided with a plurality of gate lines 2, the surface of the battery 1 is vertically provided with a plurality of coated copper wires 3, the surfaces of the gate lines 2 and the coated copper wires 3 are provided with transparent polymers 4, and the upper layer of the transparent polymers 4 is provided with protective glass 5; the coated copper wire 3 is a tinned film or a nano silver film coated on the surface of the copper wire.
The coated copper wire 3 and the grid wire 2 are mutually perpendicular.
The diameter of the copper wire in the coated copper wire 3 is 100-500 mu m.
The thickness of the tinning film is 0.5-10 mu m.
The thickness of the nano silver film is 0.5-10 mu m, and the nano silver film consists of nano silver particles with the particle size distribution in the range of 5-150 nm.
The preparation method comprises the following steps:
(1) The method comprises the steps of (1) taking a coated copper wire as a current collector to be attached to the surface of a solar cell or the back of the cell of an existing grid line, wherein the coated copper wire is perpendicular to the grid line;
(2) And welding the coated copper wire and the grid wire together by adopting an infrared irradiation or laser welding or spot welding process, wherein the welding temperature is 150-250 ℃.
The coated copper wire grid current collector is applied to the manufacture of one or more devices of single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium tin.
After the current collector of the coated copper wire replaces the traditional tin-plated copper foil belt, on one hand, the light shielding area of incident light can be reduced due to the smaller diameter of the copper wire (less than 500 mu m); on the other hand, because the surface of the cylindrical copper wire has radian, after the cylindrical copper wire is assembled into a module, the tin film or the silver film plated on the surface of the copper wire can reflect incident light at different angles, and then the light can be incident on the surface of the battery again to be absorbed through the reflection of the inner surface of the packaging glass, so that the incident light flux of the surface of the battery can be further improved. By combining the two effects, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery can be effectively improved by 0.3-0.6% after the thin copper wire current collector with the film coating replaces a tinned copper foil belt.
Taking crystalline silicon solar cells as an example, the metallization electrode on the surface of a typical cell has a gate linewidth of 1.5mm and a total width of 4.5mm; the diameter of the coated copper wire is 0.3mm, the total width is 1.5mm, the shading area of the electrode adopting the structure is smaller, and the current collecting efficiency is higher. The invention increases the number of the collectors, so that the current distribution is more uniform, the number of the silver grid lines can be reduced, and the use amount of silver materials is reduced, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the battery. For standard silicon solar cells with dimensions 156mm by 156mm, the current collectors of conventional tin-plated copper foil with gate electrodes can generally be distributed in groups 2-3; the coated copper wire can be used as a current collector of a gate electrode and can be distributed into 3-30 groups, so that the interface resistance of contact between electrodes can be effectively reduced, the power consumption is reduced, more uniform and efficient current collection efficiency is obtained, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of a battery is improved.
When the solar cell is applied, a plurality of cell devices are assembled in series and parallel to form a module. When the batteries are assembled into a module, the circuit collectors of the batteries are required to be connected in series and in parallel, and are assembled with packaging protective glass and an aluminum frame substrate through transparent polymers (EVA or PEO), a typical unit electrode structure adopts a tinned copper foil belt as a current collector, for example, the width is 1.5mm, incident light is almost totally blocked on the surface of the tinned copper foil and reflected along an original path, the incident light cannot be absorbed by the batteries, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the batteries is low; by adopting the structure of the invention, the diameter of the coated copper wire is 0.3mm, and compared with a tinned copper foil belt, the electrode width can be reduced by 60-80%, so that most of incident light 6 can be directly irradiated to the surface of the battery and absorbed. Meanwhile, due to the reflection of the arc-shaped surface of the tin plating or silver film, a part of incident light 6 incident to the surface of the coated copper wire 3 changes direction through the reflection of the film surface, and then the light rays irradiate to the surface of the battery 1 through the reflection of the inner surface of the protective glass 5 to be absorbed, so that the total luminous flux of the incident battery is increased, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery is improved.
The structure and the manufacturing method of the coated copper wire serving as the grid current collector of the solar cell can be applied to the grid current collector of the surface of the solar cell of which crystalline silicon comprises monocrystalline and polycrystalline solar cells and thin films comprise amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride, copper indium gallium tin and the like, overcome the defect of large shading area of the traditional tinned copper foil belt, increase incident luminous flux and obviously improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the cell.
