Description

Back contact battery and electrode structure thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of back contact batteries, and particularly relates to a back contact battery and an electrode structure thereof.
Background
The back contact solar cell is a cell in which an emitter and a base contact electrode are both arranged on the back (non-light-receiving surface) of the cell, and the light-receiving surface of the cell is free of any metal electrode shielding, so that the short-circuit current of a cell sheet is effectively increased, and meanwhile, a wider metal grid line can be allowed to reduce the series resistance on the back, so that the filling factor is improved; and the front-side non-shielding battery has high conversion efficiency and more attractive appearance, and meanwhile, the assembly of the all-back electrode is easier to assemble. For back contact solar cells, the electrode pattern design is a cell core technology.
The electrode structure of the existing back contact solar cell has the following structures:
in the first specific structure, as shown in fig. 1, the main grids (main grid a 011, main grid B021) of the opposite electrode and the Pad points (Pad points a 012, pad points B022) arranged thereon are respectively designed at the two side edges of the battery (i.e., the main grid and the Pad points thereof are arranged along the edges of the two side regions), the carriers need to be transferred from one side of the battery to the other side, and the lengths of the fine grids (fine grids a 010, B020) for collecting the carriers are very long. The long-distance carrier transmission has very high requirements on the conductivity of the thin grid, and taking a copper grid line as an example, the total area of the thin grid generally occupies more than 80% of the area of the back surface of the battery, and meanwhile, the thickness of the copper grid needs to be more than 30 mu m, so that the double-sided rate of the battery is greatly reduced, and the productivity of copper grid electrode equipment is seriously influenced.
In the second specific structure, as shown in fig. 2, after forming the alternately arranged opposite electrode fine grids (fine grids a 010, fine grids B020), the alternately arranged insulating ink (ink a013, ink B023) is printed on the upper surface of the electrode fine grid, and then the silver paste is printed to form the main grid (main grid a011, main grid B021) and Pad dots (Pad dots a 012, pad dots B022) thereon. In order to avoid short circuit between the main grid and the Pad points and the fine grid, the insulating ink is generally required to be printed to be more than 30 mu m, the insulating ink is not resistant to high temperature, and expensive low-temperature silver paste is required to be used for printing silver paste for forming the main grid and the Pad points, so that the cost of the electrode is greatly increased, and meanwhile, the reliability risk of the battery exists.
In the third specific structure, as shown in fig. 3, the main grids (main grid a011, main grid B021) of the opposite electrode and the Pad points (Pad points a 012, pad points B022) thereon are respectively designed at the middle and two side edges of the battery (i.e. the main grid and the Pad points thereof are arranged along the edges of the two side regions), and the thin grids (thin grid a 010, thin grid B020) are disconnected at the opposite main grid and the Pad point regions. In the assembly manufacturing process, the welding strip also needs to cover the main grid and Pad points at the edge of the silicon wafer, a large number of hidden cracks exist at the edge of the silicon wafer, stress concentration can be caused in the welding process of the welding strip, the problem of cracking occurs, the assembly yield is reduced, and the assembly reliability is reduced.

According to the invention, the back surface is divided into the middle area and the two side areas along the X-axis direction, and the electrode distribution in the two side areas is improved, especially, the main grids in the two side areas are arranged at the non-edges and matched with the specific grid line extending structure, so that the problems that in the prior art, the requirements on grid line conductivity are very high, the double-sided rate of a battery is low, the thickness of a copper grid electrode is very thick, welding strips are required in the process of manufacturing components by the main grids and the Pad points at the two side edges of the battery, and a large number of hidden cracks exist, thereby reducing the problems of component yield, component reliability and the like, and improving the battery conversion efficiency, the battery yield, the battery reliability and the like.
In the present invention, the edges of the side regions refer to the complete edge lines (or referred to as edge lines in the Y-axis direction of the back) on the side regions of the back, while the adjacent edges (i.e., edge portions in the X-axis direction) on the side regions are referred to as partial edges or side edges.
In the present invention, in the X-axis and Y-axis directions of the plane where the back surface is located, the third and fourth grid lines are alternately arranged between the edges of the corresponding main grid and the two side regions in the first and second side regions, that is, between the outer side surface of the corresponding main grid of the two side regions of the back surface of the battery and the edge of the adjacent corresponding side region (i.e., -X-axis direction), between the inner side surface of the corresponding main grid of the two side regions and the middle region (i.e., + X-axis direction), and between the two ends of the corresponding main grid of the two side regions and the side edges of the adjacent corresponding side regions (i.e., -Y-axis and +y-axis directions), a plurality of third and fourth grid lines are alternately arranged, as shown in fig. 4.

Under the preferred scheme, the corresponding main grids and the corresponding Pad points of the two side areas are more beneficial to being arranged away from the edges of the two side areas of the battery, so that the requirement on the conductivity of the grid line is further remarkably reduced, and meanwhile, the reliability of the back contact battery is further improved, the cost is reduced, and the product yield is improved.

Of course, in other embodiments, the third gate lines and the fourth gate lines that are alternately arranged may be distributed asymmetrically along the vertical central lines of the corresponding main gates in the two side regions.
In the present invention, the third main gate and the third Pad points set on the third main gate means that a plurality of third Pad points are set on the third main gate. Typically, a plurality of third Pad points are spaced apart along the axis of the third primary grating. The fourth main gate and the fourth Pad point disposed thereon have the same definition and are not described herein.

It will be appreciated that the free end is spaced from, unconnected to, or otherwise known as a different polarity gate line, from the main gate. As shown in fig. 5, the back electrode structure is divided into a middle area a, a first side area C and a second side area B, the fourth gate line 40 of the second side area B is electrically connected to the fourth main gate 41 and the fourth Pad point 42, one end of the third gate line 30 of the second side area B, which is close to the fourth main gate 41 and the fourth Pad point 42, is a free end, a distance is reserved between the free end and the fourth main gate 41 and the fourth Pad point 42, and the other end of the third gate line 30 is electrically connected to the closest homopolar main gate in the middle area a; the third gate line 30 of the first side area C is electrically connected to the third main gate 31 and the third Pad point 32, one end of the fourth gate line 40 of the first side area C, which is close to the third main gate 31 and the third Pad point 32, is a free end, a distance is left between the free end and the third main gate 31 and the third Pad point 32, and the other end of the fourth gate line 40 is electrically connected to the closest homopolar main gate in the middle area a.
In some preferred embodiments, the third main gate, the fourth main gate and the main gate disposed in the middle region are all horizontal to the edge lines of the two side regions in the Y-axis direction.
More preferably, the widths of the third main gate and the fourth main gate are each independently 1 to 2 times, specifically, for example, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2 times the widths of the main gates provided in the intermediate region. Under the preferred scheme, the third main grid and the fourth main grid are wider than the main grid in the middle area, so that more carriers can be collected, and the electric power loss of the carriers on the main grid can be reduced more conveniently.
In some particularly preferred embodiments, the widths of the third and fourth main gates are each independently 1 to 1.5 times the width of the main gate disposed in the intermediate region.
On the basis of meeting the specific multiple of the width, the widths of the third main grid and the fourth main grid and the widths of the main grids arranged in the middle area are wide in feasible range, and the widths of the third main grid and the fourth main grid are respectively and independently 0.2-0.5mm and the widths of the main grids arranged in the middle area are respectively and independently 0.1-0.3mm. Wherein the widths of the third main gate and the fourth main gate are the same or different, preferably the same.
In some preferred embodiments, the shortest distance D of the first interval and the second interval in the X-axis direction is each independently 1-15 mm, and specifically may be, for example, 1mm, 2mm, 5mm, 7mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 15mm, etc., and any value between adjacent point values. Under the preferred scheme, the third main grid and the corresponding Pad points thereof and the fourth main grid and the corresponding Pad points thereof are simultaneously arranged in the safe area for edge welding of the areas on two sides of the silicon wafer, so that the possibility of micro hidden cracking of the edge welding of the silicon wafer is avoided, the length of the areas on two sides of the silicon wafer corresponding to the main grid can be reduced, and the battery efficiency is further improved.
In some particularly preferred embodiments, the shortest distance D of the first and second intervals in the X-axis direction is each independently 1-7 mm.

The shortest distance D of the second interval in the X-axis direction has a similar definition and will not be described here.
In the invention, under the condition that the distance between the corresponding main grid in the two side areas and the edges of the two side areas is determined, the relative size of the corresponding Pad points arranged on the corresponding main grid relative to the corresponding main grid can be determined by a person skilled in the art according to actual requirements; illustratively, the Pad points extend outwardly in the width direction (i.e., the X-axis direction) of their corresponding primary gate by a distance of 0.2-1mm, i.e., the distance between the outermost edge of the Pad point and the outermost edge of the corresponding primary gate.

Under the preferred scheme, as the end part of the main grid is kept at a certain distance from the side edge of the silicon wafer, the corresponding main grid and the corresponding Pad points of the two side areas are more beneficial to being arranged away from the edges of the two side areas of the battery.
In some preferred embodiments, the shortest distance L between the outermost third or fourth gate line and the edge or side of the corresponding side region in the X-axis direction and/or Y-axis direction is 0.01-1 mm in the side regions. Under the preferred scheme, as the distance L between the grid lines and the edges or the sides is obviously smaller than the corresponding L of the main grid, the grid lines adjacent to the outermost grid lines and with opposite polarities are more beneficial to collect carriers, so that the efficiency of the battery is improved.
The L is 0.01 to 1mm, and may be, for example, 0.01mm, 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, etc., and any value between adjacent spot values, and in some particularly preferred embodiments is preferably 0.01 to 0.3 mm.

The fourth gate line 40 of the second side region B is connected to the fourth main gate 41 and the fourth Pad point 42, and the third gate line 30 of the first side region C is connected to the third main gate 31 and the third Pad point 32.
As shown in fig. 4, the distance L between the edge-most gate lines in the two side regions and the middle region of the back of the cell and the edge or side of the silicon wafer is 0.2mm, and the distance is defined herein as the distance between the third gate line 30 or the fourth gate line 40, the first gate line 10 or the second gate line 20, which are adjacent to the edge-most gate line of the silicon wafer, and the edge or side of the silicon wafer in the two side regions. The distances D between the corresponding main grids and the edges in the two side areas of the back of the battery are 5mm respectively, and the outward extension distances of the corresponding Pad points in the width direction of the corresponding main grids are 0.4mm respectively. The distance d between the end of the corresponding main grid in the two side areas and the side edge of the corresponding side area is 5mm.
The widths of the first gate line 10 and the second gate line 20 are the same as those of the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40, and are all 0.1mm. The first main gate 11 and the second main gate 21 have the same width of 0.2mm, and the third main gate 31 and the fourth main gate 41 have a width 1.2 times the width of the first main gate 11. The distance between the adjacent third grid line and the fourth grid line is 0.4mm, and the distance between the adjacent first grid line and the second grid line is 0.4mm. The sum of the total areas occupied by the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 on the back surface occupies 18% of the back surface area, and the thicknesses of the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 are all 5 μm.

Accordingly, the sum of the total area occupied by the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 on the back surface occupies 22% of the back surface area.
Example 3
The difference with reference to embodiment 2 is that the widths of the third gate lines 30 and the fourth gate lines 40 alternately distributed in the L-shape and the concave-shape on the both side regions are 1.2 times the width of the first gate line 10 of the middle region a. Accordingly, the sum of the total area occupied by the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 on the back surface occupies 18.5% of the back surface area.
Example 4
With reference to embodiment 1, the difference is that, in the edge direction near the two side regions from inside to outside, the widths of the different third and fourth grid lines alternately distributed in the L-shape and the concave shape gradually widen with the increase in length in turn, that is, between any adjacent two grid lines among the grid lines alternately distributed in the L-shape and the concave shape, and between the grid line alternately distributed in the L-shape and the concave shape and the corresponding grid line (the third or fourth grid line) extending in a straight line with the adjacent whole, the width of the corresponding grid line increases by 1.1 times compared with the width of the adjacent shorter grid line with each 1 times of the length of the corresponding grid line. Accordingly, the sum of the total area occupied by the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 on the back surface occupies 18.5% of the back surface area. The width of the corresponding gate line (third gate line or fourth gate line) extending straight as a whole is the same as the first gate line 10 and the second gate line 20.
Example 5
With reference to example 4, the difference is that the widening gradient is different, in particular, with each 1-fold increase in the length of the corresponding gate line, the width of the corresponding gate line is increased by 4-fold compared to the width of the adjacent shorter gate line. Accordingly, the sum of the total area occupied by the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 on the back surface occupies 22% of the back surface area.
Example 6
With reference to example 4, the difference is that the width of the different third gate lines alternately distributed in the L-shape and the concave-shape is widened in gradient, and the width of the gate line of the length is increased by 1.125 times compared with the width of the adjacent shorter gate line with each increase of 1 time of the length of the different third gate lines, which is different from the width of the different fourth gate lines alternately distributed in the L-shape and the concave-shape. Accordingly, the sum of the total area occupied by the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 on the back surface occupies 19.5% of the back surface area.
Example 7
The procedure was carried out with reference to example 1, except that the distances D between the corresponding main grids and the edges in the regions on both sides of the back surface of the battery were 10mm, respectively. Accordingly, the sum of the total area occupied by the first gate line 10, the second gate line 20, the third gate line 30 and the fourth gate line 40 on the back surface occupies 18% of the back surface area.
Example 8
The process was performed with reference to example 1, except that the gate line at the most edge in the both side regions of the back surface of the cell was spaced apart from the edge or side edge of the both side regions of the silicon wafer by a distance L of 0.5mm.
Example 9
The process was performed with reference to example 1, except that the gate line at the most edge in the regions on both sides of the back surface of the cell was 1mm from the edge or side of the regions on both sides of the silicon wafer.
Example 10
The process is performed with reference to embodiment 1, except that the widths of the third main gate 31 and the fourth main gate 41 are each 2 times the width of the first main gate 11.
Comparative example 1
An electrode structure is shown in fig. 1, wherein the main grids (main grid A011, main grid B021) of the opposite electrode and the Pad points (Pad points A012, pad points B022) arranged on the main grids are respectively arranged on the edges of the two side regions of the battery and extend along the edges of the two side regions, the main grid and the Pad points are not arranged in the middle, and only the fine grid (fine grid A010, fine grid B020) for collecting carriers is arranged in the middle. The main gate and Pad point and the thin gate have the same widths as those of the main gate and the gate line of embodiment 1, respectively.
In this comparative example, carriers need to be transported from one side of the cell to the other side, and the length of the fine grid (fine grid a 010, fine grid B020) collecting carriers is very long. The long-distance carrier transmission has very high requirements on the conductivity of the thin grid, and taking a copper grid line as an example, the total area of the thin grid generally occupies more than 80% of the area of the back surface of the battery, and meanwhile, the thickness of the copper grid needs to be more than 30 mu m, so that the double-sided rate of the battery is greatly reduced, and the productivity of copper grid electrode equipment is seriously influenced.
Comparative example 2
An electrode structure is shown in fig. 2, after forming alternately arranged opposite electrode fine grids (fine grids A010 and B020), insulating ink (ink A013 and ink B023) is printed on the upper surface of the electrode fine grids, and then silver paste is printed to form main grids (main grids A011 and B021) and Pad points (Pad points A012 and Pad points B022) on the main grids. The main gate and Pad point and the thin gate have the same widths as those of the main gate and the gate line of embodiment 1, respectively.
In this comparative example, in order to avoid short circuit between the main grid and Pad points and the fine grid, the insulating ink generally needs to be printed to 30 μm or more, and the insulating ink is not resistant to high temperature, and the silver paste for printing to form the main grid and Pad points needs to use expensive low-temperature silver paste, so that the cost of the electrode is greatly increased, and meanwhile, the reliability risk of the battery exists.
Comparative example 3
An electrode structure is shown in fig. 3, wherein the main grids (main grid A011, main grid B021) of the opposite electrode and Pad points (Pad points A012, pad points B022) on the main grids are respectively designed at the edges of the middle and two side areas of the battery and extend along the edges, and the thin grids (thin grid A010, thin grid B020) are disconnected in the opposite main grid and Pad point areas. The main gate and Pad point and the thin gate have the same widths as those of the main gate and the gate line of embodiment 1, respectively.
In the comparative example, in the process of manufacturing the component, the welding strip also needs to cover the main grid and Pad points at the edges of the two side areas of the silicon wafer, a large number of hidden cracks exist at the edges of the silicon wafer, stress concentration can be caused in the welding process of the welding strip, the problem of cracking occurs, the yield of the component is reduced, and the reliability of the component is reduced.

As can be seen from the above results, compared with the comparative example, the back contact battery multi-main gate electrode structure of the present invention has the characteristics of low requirements on the conductivity of the gate line, high battery yield, and high welding yield, and can improve the reliability of the back contact battery, reduce the cost, and ensure excellent photoelectric conversion efficiency.
Further, according to embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, it can be seen that, by adopting the preferred scheme of the present invention for widening the width of the gate line with larger length of the two side regions, the requirement on the conductivity of the gate line is lower, thereby being more beneficial to mass production and lower in cost. As can be seen from examples 2 and 3, the requirement for the conductivity of the gate line is lower with the widening scheme of the preferred range. According to example 1 and example 4, it can be seen that, by adopting the scheme of example 4, which is preferably gradient and gradually widens the grid line, the requirement on the conductivity of the grid line is lower, thereby being more beneficial to mass production and lower in cost. It can be seen from examples 4, 5 and 6 that the use of the preferred gradient widening embodiment 5 scheme of the present invention requires less conductivity for the gate line. It can be seen from examples 1 and examples 7-9 that the preferred edge size approach of the present invention requires less conductivity for the gate lines while achieving good short circuit current and conductivity requirements, and battery conversion efficiency. It can be seen from the embodiments 1 and 10 that the scheme of the present invention, in which the width of the main gate of the two side regions is preferable, is more advantageous in terms of achieving excellent short-circuit current.
The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the invention, a number of simple variants of the technical solution of the invention are possible, including combinations of the individual technical features in any other suitable way, which simple variants and combinations should likewise be regarded as being disclosed by the invention, all falling within the scope of protection of the invention.
