Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below, the embodiments described with reference to the drawings being illustrative, and the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
A solder strip 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-9. The solder ribbon 100 may be applied to a photovoltaic module (not shown) such as a heterojunction (a special PN junction formed by two or more different semiconductor material films deposited on the same substrate in sequence, the materials having different energy band gaps, and they may be a compound such as gallium arsenide, or a semiconductor alloy such as silicon-germanium). In the following description of the present application, the solder ribbon 100 is exemplified as being applied to a photovoltaic module.
As shown in fig. 1-4, a solder ribbon 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes a conductive substrate 1 and a solder layer 2, the solder layer 2 covering at least a portion of the conductive substrate 1. The conductive substrate 1 may be a copper substrate, a copper-aluminum alloy substrate, a copper-silver-aluminum alloy substrate, or the like. But is not limited thereto.
The melting point of the soldering tin layer 2 can be smaller than that of the conductive base body 1, the soldering tin layer 2 has certain fluidity after being melted, and the liquid soldering tin layer 2 fills the gap between the solder strip 100 and the cell, so that the solder strip 100 is connected with the cell of the photovoltaic component.
Specifically, the solder layer 2 may be composed of Sn (tin, a metal element having a silvery white luster), Bi (bismuth, an element of group VA 83 of the sixth period of the periodic table), and Pb (lead, a metal chemical element having an atomic number of 82 and an atomic weight of 207.2, which is a non-radioactive element having the largest atomic weight). Among them, Sn has a low melting point, is soft and ductile, and plays an important role in soldering between the solder ribbon 100 and the cell sheet of the photovoltaic module. Pb can reduce the tension and viscosity of the surface of the soldering tin layer 2, so that the soldering tin layer 2 has good wettability and can well absorb the thermal stress generated by temperature change. The Bi element can reduce the melting point temperature of the soldering tin layer 2, so that the welding temperature of the solder strip 100 can be reduced, the yield of the battery piece is improved, and the false soldering is avoided. And has no pollution and is environment-friendly.
Alternatively, the solder layer 2 may be composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and at least one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid. That is, the solder layer 2 may be composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and one or more of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid. For example, when the solder layer 2 is composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid elements, the solder layer 2 may be composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and Ga; alternatively, the solder layer 2 may be composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and Ge; alternatively, the solder layer 2 may be composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and In; or, the solder layer 2 may be composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and Sb; still alternatively, the solder layer 2 may be composed of one of lanthanides and Sn, Bi, Pb.
When the solder layer 2 is composed of Sn, Bi, Pb, and a plurality of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid elements, the solder layer 2 includes a plurality of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid elements In addition to Sn, Bi, and Pb. In the description of the present invention, "plural" means two or more. Note that "a plurality of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid" may be only a plurality of Ga, Ge, In, Sb; it may also be only a plurality of lanthanides; of course, it is also possible to include both at least one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb and at least one of the lanthanides.
Thus, by adding at least one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb and lanthanoid to the solder layer 2, the melting point of the solder layer 2 can be further lowered, the wettability of the solder layer 2 on the surface of the conductive base 1 can be increased, the oxidation of Bi can be reduced, and the low-temperature brittleness of the solder ribbon 100 can be reduced.
Here, it should be noted that lanthanoid elements (rare earth elements, also called "REEs") refer to a general term for 15 elements from lanthanum No. 57 to lutetium 71 in the periodic table, and specifically include lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, promethium, samarium, europium, gadolinium, terbium, dysprosium, holmium, erbium, thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium.
Wherein the content of Bi is 8-40% (inclusive), the content of Sn is 40-65% (inclusive), the content of Pb is 25-40% (inclusive), and the sum of the contents of at least one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb and lanthanoid is 5% or less. That is, when the solder layer 2 includes one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb and lanthanoid, the content of the above one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb and lanthanoid is 5% or less; when the solder layer 2 includes a plurality of kinds of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid elements, the sum of the contents of the above plurality of kinds of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid elements is 5% or less.
For example, when the solder layer 2 is composed of Sn, Bi, and Pb, the content of Sn may be constant, the content of Bi may be different, the melting point temperature of the solder layer 2 may be different, and the relationship between the content of Bi and the melting point temperature of the solder layer 2 is shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Main component Bi content Melting point temperature

0% 184.8
Sn50Pb49Bi1 1% 186.2
Sn50Pb48Bi2 2% 184.2
Sn50Pb47Bi3 3% 182.8
Sn50Pb46Bi4 4% 179.3
Sn50Pb45Bi5 5% 174
Sn50Pb44Bi6 6% 171.2
Sn50Pb43Bi7 7% 171
Sn50Pb42Bi8 8% 167.9
Sn50Pb41Bi9 9% 163.8
Sn50Pb40Bi10 10% 161.8
Referring to table 1 in conjunction with fig. 5 and 6, for every 1% increase in Bi content, the Pb content decreases by 1% and the melting point temperature can be lowered by about 2 ℃. Also, when the solder layer 2 includes a lanthanide, the melting point temperature of the solder ribbon 100 can be further reduced. However, the content of Bi cannot be too high, and when the content of Bi is too high, the greater the reliability risk, the more brittle the solder strip 100 is, and the more easily oxidized. Thus, by setting the Bi content to 8% to 40%, the melting point of the solder layer 2 can be reduced, and the low-temperature brittleness and oxidation can be prevented.
According to the solder strip 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the solder layer 2 is composed of Sn, Bi and Pb or at least one of Sn, Bi, Pb, Ga, Ge, In, Sb and lanthanoid, and the content of Bi is 25% to 40% and the sum of the contents of at least one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb and lanthanoid is 5% or less, so that the melting point of the solder layer 2 can be reduced, the soldering temperature of the solder strip 100 can be reduced, and the yield of battery pieces can be improved.
In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, in combination with table 1, the content of Bi may be 20%. Therefore, when the Bi content is 20%, the melting point of the solder strip 100 can be effectively reduced, the reliability of the solder strip 100 can be ensured, the low-temperature brittleness of the solder strip 100 can be reduced, and oxidation can be prevented.
In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, referring to table 1, the Sn content may be 45% to 58% (inclusive). So set up, make and weld area 100 and have better welding performance, guarantee to weld the welding quality between area 100 and photovoltaic module's the battery piece to guarantee to weld area 100 and have higher current collection efficiency.
Further alternatively, the content of Sn may be 50% to 53% (inclusive). For example, the content of Sn may be 53%. So set up, can further promote the welding performance of welding area 100 when reducing the melting point temperature of welding area 100, improve the welding quality between welding area 100 and photovoltaic module's the battery piece, guarantee that welding area 100 has higher current collection efficiency.
Alternatively, the sum of the contents of at least one of Ga, Ge, In, Sb, and lanthanoid is 1% or less. This makes it possible to reduce the melting point temperature of the solder strip 100, improve the wettability, reduce the oxidation of Bi, and avoid adverse effects on the solder strip 100.
In some embodiments of the invention, the solder layer 2 consists of Sn, Bi, Pb, Ga, In and lanthanides. Among them, Ga can reduce the oxidation of Bi, In can increase the conductivity of the solder layer 2, reduce the resistance, and lanthanoid can further reduce the melting point of the solder strip 100, and has better wettability, which can further reduce the oxidation of Bi. Thus, the solder layer 2 provided in this way lowers the melting point of the solder ribbon 100, has good wettability, and can prevent oxidation.
In some embodiments of the invention, the solder layer 2 has a melting point temperature T, wherein T satisfies: t is more than or equal to 125 ℃ and less than or equal to 170 ℃. Specifically, for example, when T < 125 ℃, the melting point temperature of the solder layer 2 is too low and brittleness is large, so that reliability of the solder ribbon 100 is low; when T > 170 ℃, the melting point temperature of the solder layer 2 is too high, which causes the soldering temperature of the solder strip 100 to be high, which may result in a high defective rate of the battery cell and may cause a cold joint. Thus, by making T satisfy: t is more than or equal to 125 ℃ and less than or equal to 170 ℃, and the melting point temperature of the soldering tin layer 2 is reasonable, so that the yield of the cell of the photovoltaic module can be improved, the false soldering can be avoided, the low-temperature brittleness can be reduced, and the reliability of the solder strip 100 can be improved.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, 3 and 4, the cross-sectional shape of the solder strip 100 may be circular, triangular, rectangular, or the like. Therefore, when the cross section of the welding strip 100 is circular, continuous welding with the battery piece can be realized, the series resistance can be reduced, and the risk of hidden cracking of the battery piece is reduced; when the cross section of the welding strip 100 is triangular, the welding strip 100 has good welding performance and good reflection effect, and can improve the conversion efficiency; when the cross-sectional shape of the welding strip 100 is rectangular, the welding strip 100 is relatively flat, has a relatively small thickness, has a relatively good welding performance, and can achieve continuous welding with the battery piece.
Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and referring to fig. 2, the solder strip 100 may also be a combination of a solder strip having a triangular cross-sectional shape and a solder strip having a rectangular cross-sectional shape. For example, in the example of fig. 2, the solder strip 100 includes a triangular solder strip section 3 and a rectangular solder strip section 4, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the triangular solder strip section 3 is triangular and the cross-sectional shape of the rectangular solder strip section 4 is rectangular. The triangular solder ribbon section 3 and the rectangular solder ribbon section 4 are connected to each other in the length direction of the solder ribbon 100. For example, the rectangular solder strip section 4 can be connected to the back of the battery piece, the welding area of the rectangular solder strip section 4 and the battery piece is large, and the welding tension can be improved, so that the reliability of the photovoltaic module can be ensured, and the rectangular solder strip section 4 does not occupy the front area of the battery piece. The triangular solder strip section 3 is connected on the front of the adjacent cell, and light irradiated on the triangular solder strip section 3 can be finally reflected to the cell, so that the optical utilization rate of the front of the photovoltaic module can be effectively improved, and the power of the photovoltaic module is improved. So set up, when guaranteeing that solder strip 100 has better welding performance, can realize with the continuous welding of battery piece, and can effectively improve photovoltaic module's optical utilization.
In some embodiments of the invention, when the solder strip 100 has a circular cross-sectional shape, the solder strip 100 has a diameter d and the solder layer 2 has a thickness t1Wherein d, t1Respectively satisfy: d is more than or equal to 0.15mm and less than or equal to 0.4mm, and t is more than or equal to 10 mu m1≤20μm。
Specifically, for example, when d < 0.15mm, the diameter of the solder ribbon 100 is too small, and poor soldering such as cold soldering may occurA problem; when d is greater than 0.4mm, the diameter of the solder strip 100 is too large, so that the shielding area of the cell can be increased, and the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module is affected. When t is1When t is less than 10 μm, the thickness of the solder layer 2 is too small, and the quality of the solder joint between the solder ribbon 100 and the cell may be deteriorated1Above 20 μm, this results in an excessive cost of the entire solder strip 100. Thus, by making d, t1Respectively satisfy: d is more than or equal to 0.15mm and less than or equal to 0.4mm, and t is more than or equal to 10 mu m1Less than or equal to 20 mu m, can reduce the shielding of the battery piece while ensuring the welding quality between the welding strip 100 and the battery piece, and has lower cost.
In some embodiments of the invention, when the solder strip 100 has a triangular cross-sectional shape, the solder strip 100 has a base side length L and the solder layer 2 has a thickness t2Wherein L, t2Respectively satisfy: l is more than or equal to 0.35mm and less than or equal to 0.45mm, and t is more than or equal to 10 mu m2Less than or equal to 40 mu m. Therefore, through the arrangement, the conversion rate of the photovoltaic module can be improved, meanwhile, the welding quality between the welding strip 100 and the battery piece is guaranteed, and the cost can be reduced.
In some embodiments of the invention, when the solder strip 100 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, the solder strip 100 has a width w and the solder layer 2 has a thickness t3Wherein w, t3Respectively satisfy: w is more than or equal to 0.7mm and less than or equal to 0.9mm, and t is more than or equal to 10 mu m3Less than or equal to 40 mu m. With the arrangement, the welding quality between the welding strip 100 and the battery piece is ensured, meanwhile, the stop of the battery piece can be reduced, and the cost of the welding strip 100 can be reduced.
A photovoltaic module according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention includes the solder strip 100 according to the above-described embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention. For example, the solder strips 100 may be soldered to the main grid of the cell pieces for connecting adjacent cell pieces. The grid line paste may be composed of a conductive material and a resin.
According to the photovoltaic module provided by the embodiment of the invention, by adopting the solder strip 100, the melting point of the solder strip 100 is lower, the low-temperature brittleness can be reduced, the oxidation can be prevented, the yield of the photovoltaic module can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.
Other constructions and operations of photovoltaic modules according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those of ordinary skill in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
The processing method of the solder strip 100 according to the embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention, referring to fig. 7, includes the following steps:
and drawing and shaping the filamentous conductive matrix 1 for multiple times to obtain the conductive matrix 1 with a regular shape.
For example, when the conductive substrate 1 is a copper conductive substrate, a copper wire is paid off by the paying-off module 200, and then enters the drawing module 300 for drawing and shaping for multiple times, so as to obtain a fine round wire or a triangular copper wire with regular shape and stable dimension.
The conductive base 1 having a regular shape is subjected to heat treatment to obtain the conductive base 1 in a soft state.
In the above steps, the conductive substrate 1, for example, a copper wire, may be subjected to heat treatment by the annealing module 500, so that a soft copper wire may be obtained, the grains of the copper may be refined, the yield strength of the copper wire may be reduced, and the mechanical properties of the copper wire may be improved.
After cooling, the soft conductive substrate 1 is plated with the solder layer 2 to obtain the solder strip 100.
The conductive substrate 1, such as a copper wire, may be plated with the solder layer 2 in the tin plating module 600, and the solder layer 2 enters the wire take-up module 700 after being cooled and dried, so as to obtain a finished solder strip 100 meeting the specification.
According to the processing method of the welding strip 100, the size stability and the production efficiency of the welding strip 100 can be improved, the quality of the welding strip 100 is guaranteed, meanwhile, the production cost of the welding strip 100 is reduced, and the process steps are simplified. In some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to fig. 7, before the heat treatment of the regularly shaped conductive substrate 1, the method further includes:
extruding the conductive base body 1 with a regular shape to obtain a rectangular conductive base body; or
And extruding and non-extruding the conductive base body 1 with a regular shape and a triangular cross section alternately to obtain the special-shaped conductive base body, wherein the special-shaped conductive base body is a combination of the conductive base body with the triangular cross section and the conductive base body with the rectangular cross section.
For example, when it is desired to manufacture a solder ribbon or a deformed solder ribbon having a rectangular cross-sectional shape, the conductive base 1 having a regular shape, such as a thin round wire or a triangular copper wire, may be fed into the rolling module 400 after the conductive base 1 having a regular shape is obtained.
Wherein, the thin round wire or the triangular copper wire can be extruded by the upper and the lower calendering wheels to obtain the conductive matrix with the rectangular cross section. The triangular copper wire can obtain a special-shaped conductive base body, namely a combination of the conductive base body with the triangular cross section and the conductive base body with the rectangular cross section, through the alternative processes of the occlusion and separation states of the special-shaped upper rolling wheel and the flat lower rolling wheel. When it is desired to make a solder strip having a circular cross-sectional shape, the conductive substrate 1 need not enter the calender module 400. Therefore, through the steps, the welding strip with the rectangular cross section or the combination of the welding strip with the triangular cross section and the welding strip with the rectangular cross section can be obtained, the process is simple, and the reliability is high.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the solder layer 2 is plated on the surface of the soft conductive substrate 1 after cooling by a hot dipping process or a plating process.
For example, when a hot dipping process is adopted, the tin material is a Sn-Bi-Pb low-temperature tin material, the tin material is heated to a completely molten state at first, then the conductive base 1 such as a copper wire passes through the tin material in the completely molten state at a constant speed, the tin material can be uniformly coated on the surface of the copper wire, the copper wire is cooled and dried, and finally the copper wire enters the take-up module 700, so that the finished welding strip 100 meeting the specification can be obtained.
When the electroplating process is adopted, the anode of the electroplating pool adopts a Sn-Bi-Pb alloy anode, a conductive substrate 1 such as a copper wire enters the electroplating pool, a thin layer of Sn-Bi-Pb alloy is plated on the surface of the copper wire through the ion exchange principle, the Sn-Bi-Pb alloy plating layer is firmly combined with the copper wire and has good adhesive force, and the finished welding strip 100 meeting the specification is obtained after dehydration, passivation and drying. Therefore, the solder layer 2 can be firmly attached to the conductive base body 1 by plating the solder layer 2 by adopting a hot dipping process or an electroplating process, so that the quality of the whole solder strip 100 can be improved, and the solder strip 100 has better welding performance.
Two methods of processing the solder layer 2 according to embodiments of the invention are described below with reference to fig. 8 and 9.
The first method comprises the following steps:
uniformly mixing Sn, Bi and Pb according to a certain percentage, and heating to 290-320 ℃ to obtain a mixed melt;
then adding a smelting covering agent, and keeping the temperature and stirring for 30 minutes;
and removing the smelting covering agent on the surface of the mixed melt, filtering through a filter, pouring into a mold, and cooling to obtain the alloy solder.
And the second method comprises the following steps:
uniformly mixing Sn and Pb according to a certain percentage, adding the mixture into a crucible such as a corundum crucible, smelting in a vacuum environment at 290-320 ℃, preserving heat for 40-60min after the raw materials are completely molten, stirring once every 10min, taking out and pouring into a mold for later use;
putting the Sn-Pb alloy into a crucible such as a corundum crucible, adding a certain amount of Bi, smelting in a vacuum environment at the smelting temperature of 260-300 ℃, preserving heat for 40-60min after complete melting, stirring once every 10min, taking out, pouring into a mold, and cooling to obtain the alloy solder.
