Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a production process of a solar cell, in particular to a decorative solar cell, a preparation method thereof and a solar cell module.
Background
At present, photovoltaic power generation is a power generation technology for converting solar energy into electric energy by using the photovoltaic effect of semiconductors. In general, a common solar cell is a separation layer which forms positive and negative charges on the surface of a silicon wafer of 156mm-210mm in a doping mode; when the sun irradiates the surface of the silicon wafer, positive or negative charges in two single forms are respectively formed on the two surfaces of the silicon wafer, and the charges are collected by metal electrodes on the surfaces to realize external power supply. The metal electrode on the front surface of the battery is divided into the thin grid lines and the main grid lines, and current collection is realized through the thin grid lines and the main grid lines and is transmitted to the outside. In the using process, a layer of blue-black film is arranged on the surfaces of the battery units to serve as a protective film, then the battery units are connected through welding tapes and packaged in an EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer)/POE (Polyolefin elastomer), a back plate and a transparent glass cover plate, and the photovoltaic module capable of resisting normal work in a severe environment in the nature is formed.
In the actual use process of the photovoltaic module, the transparent glass cover plate, the metal electrode on the surface of the battery, the welding strip, the blue-black film and the like can be observed by people from various angles from the bottom of the photovoltaic module; particularly, due to the physical principle of interference extinction, the blue-black film can generate different colors along with different observation angles, so that the attractiveness of the photovoltaic module is affected.
Currently, there are two main ways in the prior art to achieve the aesthetic appearance of solar modules:
one is to use a black back plate and a black polymer adhesive tape to shield the main grid line on the upper surface of the solar cell. Although this approach can change the uniformity of the appearance of the solar cell, it cannot eliminate the different color variations of the blue-black film depending on the viewing angle.
The second method is to add a camouflage cover layer on or under the glass cover plate. In a common method, a louver formed by colored polymer or a camouflage film with a metal ion deposition surface is added between a glass cover plate and an EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer)/POE (Polyolefin elastomer) encapsulant film. As shown in fig. 1, a conventional solar cell module generally includes an upper glass cover 101, a decorative beautification film 102, a first encapsulation layer 103, a solar cell 105, a second encapsulation layer 107, and a lower glass cover 108, which are sequentially disposed from top to bottom. In order to ensure the aesthetic property of the solar cell module, the decoration beautification film layer 102 is added between the upper glass cover plate 101 and the first packaging layer 103. Although the method can greatly improve the aesthetic property of the photovoltaic module, the method is usually accompanied with the great reduction of the photoelectric conversion efficiency, so that the cost of a single watt of the solar panel is correspondingly improved, and the economical efficiency and the power generation capacity of the product are reduced.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description, and it should be noted that any combination of the embodiments or technical features described below can be used to form a new embodiment without conflict.
Example one
The invention provides a preferable embodiment, and the aesthetic property requirements of the cell slice and the cell are considered in the manufacturing process of the solar cell, so that the cell module formed after the solar cell is packaged has the aesthetic property.
Namely: the aesthetic property of the solar cell is realized through different designs of the plurality of metal electrodes on the solar cell, and meanwhile, the series resistance of the solar cell can be reduced, so that the aesthetic property of the solar cell is ensured, the generating capacity and the heat conducting property of the solar cell module are improved, and the weak light power generation capacity and the high temperature power generation capacity of the solar cell and the solar cell module are improved.
Generally, when a solar cell operates, when sunlight irradiates the surface of a silicon wafer of the solar cell, positive or negative charges of two single forms are respectively formed on the two surfaces of the silicon wafer, and the charges are collected through a metal electrode deposited on the surface of the silicon wafer to supply power to the outside. Therefore, the power generation capability, the thermal conductivity, and the like for the solar cell are all related to the metal electrode on the solar cell sheet.
According to the decorative solar cell provided by the invention, the shapes and distribution positions of the metal electrodes deposited on the cell pieces of the solar cell are designed differently, so that the attractiveness of the solar cell and a solar cell module is enhanced, and meanwhile, the power generation capacity, the heat conduction performance and the like of the solar cell module can be improved.
A solar cell with decoration comprises a solar cell sheet and a plurality of metal electrodes deposited on the solar cell sheet. For convenience of description, the solar cell is simply referred to as a cell, that is, the cell described herein refers to a solar cell.
Wherein, a plurality of metal electrodes are deposited on the battery piece, and the plurality of metal electrodes form a metal conductive pattern. According to the shape of the plurality of metal electrodes and the distribution positions on the cell, the plurality of metal electrodes have different reflection and interference characteristics to light, so that the metal conductance pattern formed by the plurality of metal electrodes presents a decorative pattern when viewed from a preset distance. The preset distance referred herein can be set according to the actual situation, generally, when the solar cell module is used, the solar cell module needs to be installed on equipment or a device with a corresponding height from the ground, and power generation is realized by receiving the sunlight; the height of the utility model from the ground is different in different use occasions.
Preferably, the shape of the metal electrode includes, but is not limited to: the height, width, length, angle of the top section and the surface of the cell piece, etc. of the metal electrode. The distribution positions of the metal electrodes refer to the distribution positions of the metal electrodes on the battery piece. That is, different metal conductive patterns can be formed on a plurality of metal electrodes by setting different shapes of the metal electrodes and different distribution positions of the metal electrodes on the cell, so that different decorative patterns can be shown when different metal conductive patterns are viewed at a preset distance, and the attractiveness of the solar cell and the cell module is realized. Because the solar cell provided by the invention has certain aesthetic property, when the solar cell is packaged into the cell component, the aesthetic property of the cell component is realized without adding a decorative packaging layer or other decorative films and the like as in the prior art, and the packaging difficulty and the packaging cost are reduced.
In addition, because the metal electrodes on the silicon wafer of the solar cell in the prior art only have a conductive function, the metal electrodes are generally printed by metal silver (Ag) paste while ensuring the conductive function, the height of the metal electrodes is controlled within 15-25 um, and the consumption of the metal silver paste per metal electrode is reduced as much as possible, for example, the total consumption of the metal silver paste per cell is 100-200 mg. Therefore, the amount of the metal paste used for the metal electrode of each cell is small, which leads to a decrease in the amount of power generation of the solar cell. In addition, since these metal electrodes only have a function of conducting electricity, they are generally arranged on the silicon wafer in a grid shape, and the metal electrodes also do not have a function of shielding the color of the silicon wafer.
The metal electrodes on the battery piece of the invention not only have the conducting function, but also have the typical meaning of each metal electrode, and the shapes of a plurality of metal electrodes and the distribution positions on the battery piece are related to the decorative patterns presented by the metal conducting patterns. When sunlight irradiates the cell, the plurality of metal electrodes generate different reflection and interference characteristics to light due to different corresponding shapes and distribution positions of the metal electrodes, so that the formed corresponding metal conductive patterns present decorative patterns, and the beautifying functions of the solar cell and the solar cell module are realized.
Therefore, the present invention has certain regulations on the shape of the metal electrode, such as height, width, length, angle between the top section and the surface of the battery piece, and the like, and therefore, the present invention does not limit the amount of the metal electrode to be used, and can be set according to specific design requirements. The invention does not limit the dosage of the metal electrode, so the invention provides possibility for using other base metals with poor conductivity in the selection of the material of the metal electrode. That is, the metal electrode can be prepared not only by using metal silver paste as in the prior art, but also by using metal copper (Cu) paste, metal aluminum (Al) paste, paste in which metal silver and metal copper are mixed, or other conductive metal paste, so that the limitation of the material type of the metal electrode of the battery has expandability.
Therefore, the invention not only realizes the beautifying function of the solar cell, but also correspondingly expands the material of the metal electrode, provides possibility for using other metals with poor conductivity, also provides possibility for reducing the preparation cost of the solar cell, greatly reduces the conductivity requirement on the material of the metal electrode, and provides possibility for reducing the cost of the metal electrode. In addition, the invention provides possibility for improving the power generation capacity of the solar cell because the dosage and the material of the metal electrode are not limited.
In addition, the metal conductive pattern formed by the plurality of metal electrodes deposited on the battery piece in the embodiment of the invention is different from the network-shaped pattern formed by the metal electrodes on the battery piece in the prior art. In the manufacturing process, the shape of the metal electrodes and the distribution positions on the battery piece are designed, so that the plurality of metal electrodes form different metal conductive patterns, and under the irradiation of light, the corresponding metal conductive patterns can present decorative patterns with different textures due to the reflection and interference characteristics of the different metal electrodes on the light, so that the attractiveness is greatly improved.
Preferably, the decorative pattern may be wood grain, marble, granite, or the like, which is different according to the shape and distribution position of the plurality of metal electrodes on the battery sheet.
Preferably, when the metal conductive pattern presents a decorative pattern, different bright and dark effects of the pattern are formed under the irradiation of light due to the different shapes and distribution positions of the different metal electrodes. Specifically, such as when there is a height difference between different metal electrodes, the metal conductive pattern may form a bright-dark effect of the decorative pattern under irradiation of light; when the top sections of different metal electrodes have an angle difference, the metal conductive pattern can form a bright and dark effect of a decorative pattern under the irradiation of light. That is to say, the decorative pattern formed by the metal conductive pattern under the irradiation of light is related to the shape and distribution position of the metal electrode on the battery plate, the following specific examples are specifically given to illustrate the preparation process of the metal electrode on the battery plate, and specifically the following specific examples are given:
when a plurality of metal electrodes have a height difference therebetween: due to the fact that the metal electrodes with different heights have different light reflection and interference characteristics, when sunlight irradiates on the cell, the decorative patterns displayed by the metal conductive patterns have different shades.
Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, a height difference is formed between the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403 on the battery sheet 401. According to different preparation processes of the metal electrodes, the invention provides the following preparation methods for preparing the metal electrodes on the battery piece 401, so that the height difference between different metal electrodes is realized.
The preparation method comprises the following steps: the height difference of the plurality of metal electrodes is realized through a screen printing process.
Preferably, the present embodiment is illustrated by the height difference between two metal electrodes on the cell 401:
as shown in fig. 2, in the preparation process of the battery piece: firstly, printing conductive metal paste on a battery piece 401 to form a first metal electrode 402 and a second metal electrode 403; then, the second metal electrode 403 is overprinted once again, so that the height of the first metal electrode 402 is different from that of the second metal electrode 403; at this time, a height difference is generated between the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403.
That is, the number of times of printing for the second metal electrode 403 is different from the number of times of printing for the first metal electrode 402, so that the second metal electrode 403 and the first metal electrode 402 have a height difference.
That is, the printing times of the plurality of metal electrodes on the battery piece 401 are different through a multi-time overprinting mode, so that the height difference of the plurality of metal electrodes on the battery piece 401 is realized.
The second preparation method comprises the following steps: the height difference of different metal electrodes is realized through an electroplating process.
As shown in fig. 2, a conductive metal paste is first plated on a cell 401 and a first metal electrode 402 and a second metal electrode 403 are generated; then, the second metal electrode 403 is electroplated once again, so that the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403 have different heights; at this time, a height difference is generated between the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403.
Namely, the electroplating times of different metal electrodes are different through a multi-time overprinting electroplating mode, and the height difference of the different metal electrodes is realized.
Preferably, due to the characteristics of the electroplating process, the invention can also control the deposition speed of each metal electrode by controlling the electroplating current density of different metal electrodes during the electroplating process, thereby realizing the height difference of different metal electrodes. Such as: in the electroplating process, different growth rates of the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403 can be realized by applying different current densities to the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403; therefore, after the electroplating is completed, the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403 have different heights; at this time, a height difference is generated between the first metal electrode 402 and the second metal electrode 403.
Preferably, the difference in height of the different metal electrodes is greater than or equal to 60 nm. Preferably, the difference in height between the different metal electrodes is 60nm to 150 nm.
In addition, the decorative pattern in the present invention is a bright and dark texture formed by interference modulation of sunlight due to the difference in the shape and distribution position of the metal electrode of the cell 401 when the sunlight is irradiated onto the cell 401. The light wave of the sunlight is a white light wave, and comprises various visible light waves, and the wavelengths of the different visible light waves are different. When the height difference between different metal electrodes is different, the light and shade textures formed by the light rays are also different.
The light with the specific wavelength lambda is emitted into the film with the refractive index n according to the extinction formula of the light interference, and the extinction effect can be achieved when nd is lambda/4, so that the light with the specific wavelength can not be reflected back. Ideally, the light would be perfectly absorbed in its entirety. Where d is the thickness of a thin film material (e.g., an encapsulant material for a solar cell).
The visible light wavelength is assumed to be considered to be 380 nm-760 nm; wherein the wavelength range of the red light is 760nm to 622 nm; wavelength range of orange light: 622nm to 597 nm; yellow light wavelength range: 597nm to 577 nm; green light wavelength range: 577 nm-492 nm; cyan wavelength range: 492-450 nm; blue light wavelength range: 450 nm-435 nm; violet wavelength range: 435 nm-390 nm.
Setting commonly used packaging materials EVA, POE and PVB of the photovoltaic cell module, wherein the refractive index of the packaging materials is 1.3-1.6.
When the visible light is red light, assuming that the refractive index of the encapsulant has a minimum value n of 1.3 and the wavelength has a maximum value λ of 760, the red light is extinguished (i.e. absorbed), and the height difference between the metal electrodes needs to be 146 nm.
When the visible light is violet, assuming that the refractive index of the encapsulant has a maximum value n of 1.6 and the wavelength has a maximum value λ of 760, the violet light is extinguished (i.e., absorbed), and the height difference between the metal electrodes needs to be 61 nm.
Therefore, based on the above calculation, the height difference of the present invention for different metal electrodes is preferably 60nm to 150 nm.
That is to say, as long as the height difference of the different metal electrodes on the cell 401 is within 60nm to 150nm, the solar cell and the solar cell module can be observed at different angles, and the metal conductive pattern on the cell 401 shows different light and shade effects due to the reflection and interference characteristics of different light rays caused by the height difference of the metal electrodes on the cell 401, so as to realize the aesthetic function of the solar cell and the solar cell module.
When there is an angular difference between the top sections of the plurality of metal electrodes: due to the angle difference between the top sections of the different metal electrodes, when sunlight irradiates the cell piece 401, the patterns presented by the metal conductive patterns have different shades. As shown in fig. 3, the top section a of the first metal electrode 402 has an angular difference with the top section B of the second metal electrode 403.
Generally, the top cross section of the metal electrode in the prior art is parallel to the surface of the battery piece 401. According to the invention, a certain angle is formed between the top sections of different metal electrodes and the surface of the battery piece 401, so that when light irradiates the battery piece 401, the top sections of the metal electrodes have a certain inclination angle relative to the surface of the battery piece 401, so that the metal conductive pattern can present a corresponding bright and dark effect.
Preferably, according to different preparation processes of the metal electrodes, the invention provides the following preparation methods for preparing the metal electrodes on the cell piece 401, so that the top sections of different metal electrodes have an angle difference:
the preparation method comprises the following steps: and realizing the angle difference of the top sections of the plurality of metal electrodes through a laser transfer printing process.
As shown in fig. 4-6, the third preparation method comprises the following steps:
first, a plurality of grooves 505 having various shapes are provided on the surface of the laser transfer film 504. Wherein, the bottom section of the trench 505 has an angle (the angle is greater than zero) with the surface of the laser transfer film 504; i.e., there is an angular difference between the bottom sections of the different trenches 505. In this embodiment, a plurality of grooves 505 are formed on the laser transfer film 504 through a metal cutting tool grooving process or a die lamination process.
Then, each trench 505 is filled with a conductive metal paste.
Then, the excess conductive metal paste on the surface of the laser transfer film 504 is scraped off, so that a first metal conductor 503 is formed in each trench 505.
Finally, the first metal conductor 503 formed in each groove 505 is transferred onto the surface of the cell 401 through a laser heating process, so as to form a plurality of metal electrodes 400 on the cell 401.
Since there is an angular difference between the bottom cross-sections of the different trenches 505, there is also an angular difference between the top cross-sections of the shaped first metallic conductors 503 formed within the trenches 505, and therefore there is also an angular difference between the top cross-sections of the metallic electrodes 400 formed when the first metallic conductors 503 within each trench 505 are transferred to the surface of the cell sheet 401 by the laser heating process.
From the above, when the metal electrodes 400 are prepared on the cell piece 401 by the laser transfer process, the shape of each metal electrode 400 is the same as the shape of the first metal conductor 503 formed in the corresponding groove 505 and the shape of the corresponding groove 505.
When the depths of the grooves 505 on the laser transfer film 504 are different, the heights of the correspondingly formed metal electrodes 400 are also different, and therefore, the preparation method is simultaneously suitable for the height difference of different metal electrodes 400. Therefore, the third preparation method is also suitable for preparing the metal electrodes 400, so that height differences are formed between different metal electrodes 400 on the battery piece 401.
In the same way as the first preparation method or the second preparation method, the invention can also realize the angle difference of the top sections of different metal electrodes 400 in a mode of multiple overprinting.
In the same way as the preparation method, the present embodiment further provides another preparation method, as shown in fig. 8 to 13, not only the height difference of the different metal electrodes 400 can be realized by the electrode carrier film 602, but also the angle difference of the top sections of the different metal electrodes 400 can be realized. The preparation method comprises the following steps:
first, various shapes of grooves 505 are fabricated on electrode carrier film 602. Similarly, similar to the laser transfer process, grooves 505 with various shapes may be formed on the electrode carrier film 602 by a metal knife grooving process or a die lamination process. The shape of the trench 505 includes the depth of the trench 505, the angle between the bottom cross section of the trench 505 and the surface of the electrode carrier film 602, and the size of the trench 505.
Then, a conductive metal paste is filled in each trench 505 and a corresponding metal electrode 400 is formed.
Finally, each metal electrode 400 is attached to the cell sheet 401 to form a solar cell.
Preferably, the present embodiment combines the metal electrode 400 with a conductive substance on the surface of the cell piece 401 through the metal conductive adhesive 406, so that the metal electrode 400 is fixed on the surface of the cell piece 401, forming the solar cell.
The metal conductive adhesive 406 is a conductive metal paste or a conductive tape. The conductive material on the surface of the battery piece 401 may be a conductive film, a conductive metal paste, or the like. The conductive metal paste is one or a combination of a plurality of metal silver paste, metal copper paste, metal aluminum paste and other metal pastes. Due to the expansion of the material types of the metal electrode 400, the conductive metal slurry used in the preparation process can be correspondingly expanded.
Further, depending on the process of filling the conductive metal paste into the groove 505 of the electrode carrier film 602, the following two schemes are also adopted when the conductive metal paste is filled into the groove 505 of the electrode carrier film 602.
The first scheme is as follows: as shown in fig. 9-10, filling the conductive metal paste in the trench 505 of the electrode carrier film 602 specifically includes:
first, a conductive metal paste is printed and filled in each trench 505 through a printing process, and after all trenches 505 are filled, excess conductive metal paste remaining on the surface of the electrode carrier film 602 is removed through a doctor blade, so that a second metal conductor 600 is formed in each trench 505.
Then, a conductive metal paste is plated on each second metal conductor 600 by an electroplating process so that each second metal conductor 600 extends to an area outside the electrode carrier film 602, thereby forming a protruding metal electrode 400.
Scheme II: as shown in fig. 12 to 13, filling the conductive metal paste in the trench 505 of the electrode carrier film 602 specifically includes:
firstly, conductive metal paste is deposited in each groove 505 through a sputtering process, a conductive metal film layer 700 is formed in each groove 505, and after all the grooves 505 are deposited, redundant conductive metal paste on the surface of the electrode carrier film 602 is removed through polishing.
A conductive metal paste is then deposited on the conductive metal film layer 700 within each trench 505 by a plating process such that the conductive metal film layer 700 extends to an area outside the electrode carrier film 602, thereby forming a protruding metal electrode 400.
Preferably, the surface of the top of the one or more metal electrodes 400 is also provided with an upper color layer. The surface of the top of the different metal electrodes 400 is made to have different colors by coating the corresponding upper color layers on the surface of the top of the different metal electrodes 400, so that the aesthetic function of the battery piece 401 is realized.
As shown in fig. 7, the surface of the top of the first metal electrode 402 is colored to form a first upper color layer 404. The surface of the top of the second metal electrode 403 is colored to form a second upper color layer 405. The first upper color layer 405 and the second upper color layer 404 may be the same or different in color. Wherein, the coloring method for the surface of the top of the metal electrode 400 is implemented by a rubbing technique. The rubbing technology is preferably rubbing technology of inscriptions of the Western-Ansheng inscriptions.
According to the invention, a plurality of metal electrodes 400 are deposited on a battery piece 401 to form a metal conductive pattern; and through the shape that sets up a plurality of metal electrodes 400 for the metal conductive pattern demonstrates the pattern of different textures under the irradiation of light, realizes the pleasing to the eye function of cell piece 401, has solved among the prior art and need increase shelter from the thing or increase and beautify the rete and lead to the decline of solar cell's photoelectric conversion efficiency, increase encapsulation cost, the encapsulation degree of difficulty etc. of battery when making solar cell and solar module have decorative pleasing to the eye.
Meanwhile, because the metal electrode 400 in the invention has only a conductive function, each metal electrode 400 has a typical meaning, and the invention does not limit the use amount of the slurry of the metal electrode 400, the slurry of the metal electrode 400 is not limited to the metal silver slurry adopted in the prior art, but also can be used for other base metals with poor conductive performance, thereby reducing the conductive requirements on the material of the metal electrode 400 and providing possibility for reducing the cost of the metal electrode 400.
In addition, when the metal electrode 400 is made of other metal copper, metal aluminum and the like with poor conductivity, the series resistance of the solar cell can be greatly reduced, and the low-amplitude power generation performance is improved; meanwhile, the amount of the slurry of the metal electrode 400 is increased, so that the power generation capacity of the solar cell is greatly improved, and the heat dissipation performance of the solar cell is also improved.
Preferably, the battery provided by the invention can be used for any one of the following types of batteries: heterojunction cells, black silicon cells, PERC (Passivated emitter and Rear Cell) cells, TOPCON (Passivated Contact) cells, and stacked cells composed of the above cells and other thin film cells, and the like, all of which can adopt the structure and the preparation method of the solar Cell with decoration provided by the invention to realize the beautification of the solar Cell.
