The second segment 22, is welded in the back side of another cell piece by the front of cell piece, and then by first segment 21 and second segment 22
End be attached.Wherein, in actual production, the first segment 21 is with the second segment 22 usually in the overlapping space
Foreign minister's overlap joint.
In stacked component, above-mentioned changeover portion 23 is placed in overlapping space, and the width of the changeover portion 23 can be greater than
The width of the first segment 21 and/or the second segment 22, so that changeover portion 23 is generally flat, to increase changeover portion
23 contact area in overlapping space between the object that is in contact further decreases the possibility of lamination position cells rupture.It should
Flat changeover portion 23 can be obtained by flattening conventional welding along certain orientation.
In above-mentioned photovoltaic module, solar cell can use the solar cell piece of stock size (being substantially square),
It can also be using battery unit obtained by dividing the cell piece of stock size.For convenience of description, herein by the sun before segmentation
Battery is defined as " the first solar cell ".
As shown in figure 3, the first solar battery surface 10 can be printed with main gate line 15 and be connected with the main gate line 15 thin
Grid line (not shown).Several parallel cutting lines 17 are drawn on the first solar battery surface 10, cutting line quantity depends on institute
The cell strip quantity that need to divide.By taking 1 cuts 3 as an example, before it is split, it can be arranged on first solar battery surface 10 in advance
3 parallel buffer layers, buffering layer number are consistent with the cell strip quantity that single first solar cell piece is divided.Wherein, it buffers
Layer can select the material lower than welding hardness, such as: ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer EVA or polyolefin elastomer etc..
Form the technique of buffer layer for example are as follows: firstly, one layer of padded coaming solvent is applied in battery surface by drop coating or spin coating mode,
Then, solvent is removed by roasting mode, to leave unpolymerized padded coaming in battery surface to form buffer layer.Certainly,
Solid buffer layer can also be used and be fixed on the specific position of solar battery surface.In embodiments of the present invention, buffer layer
Thickness can be 200~400um, to take into account buffering effect and material cost.
First solar cell piece has opposite and parallel first edge 11 and second edge 13, and the surface 10 is equipped with neighbour
The second strip buffer layer 12b of first strip buffer layer 12a of the nearly first edge 11 and the neighbouring second edge 13, institute
Cutting line 17 is stated between the first strip buffer layer 12a and the second strip buffer layer 12b, first strip is slow
It rushes and is additionally provided with the intermediate strip buffer layer 12c that neighbouring cutting line 17 is arranged between layer 12a and the second strip buffer layer 12b.
So set, the specific gravity for being stacked two by cut edge can be reduced, and improved as far as possible by a non-cutting edge and all
The specific gravity that cut edge edge is stacked, so as to improve the fragment rate of component entirety.
As shown in figure 4, obtaining the schematic diagram of two half for a piece of first solar cell is cut in half.For such
Cell piece design applies one layer of padded coaming in cell piece lamination region by screen printing mode, and width can be 0.8mm, then
Solvent is removed by 80~100 DEG C of roasting modes of low temperature, leaves unpolymerized padded coaming about 300um.
