An aluminum paste is printed in the hollowed-out structure 51 and sintered at a temperature of 700 ℃ or higher to form a second electrode 95 and an Al-Si alloy doped contact 93 (Al-BSF doped layer). It will be appreciated that during sintering, the aluminum metal and silicon are miscible to form the Al-Si alloy doped contact 93, i.e., al_BSF layer.
Step seven, the first electrode 94 is printed on the polysilicon doped conductive layer 30, specifically, during the sintering process, the metal paste of the first electrode 94 burns through the passivation layer 90 and contacts the polysilicon doped conductive layer 30, but does not penetrate the tunnel oxide layer 20. A back contact solar cell 100 as shown in fig. 5 is formed.
It is understood that the second doped region 32 of the back contact solar cell 100 does not have the inner diffusion layer 40, and the second doped region 32 is isolated from the first doped region 31 by the isolation region 50. Specifically, the second doped region 32 is located in the hollow structure 51 and forms a space with the first doped region 31, that is, the isolation region 50, where the isolation region 50 can isolate the first doped region 31 from the second doped region 32 to prevent leakage.
In a second aspect, the present application provides a back contact solar cell 100 manufactured by the method for manufacturing a back contact solar cell described above.
Referring to fig. 5, the back contact solar cell of the embodiment of the present application includes a substrate 10, a tunnel oxide layer 20, a polysilicon doped conductive layer 30, a textured structure 70, an anti-reflective film 80, a passivation layer 90, an alloy doped contact 93, a first electrode 94, and a second electrode 95.
The tunneling oxide layer 20 and the polysilicon doped conductive layer 30 are sequentially stacked on the first surface F of the substrate 10, and the tunneling oxide layer 20 and the polysilicon doped conductive layer 30 are provided with a hollow structure 51, and the hollow structure 51 penetrates through the tunneling oxide layer 20 and the polysilicon doped conductive layer 30, and exposes the first surface F of the substrate 10 to the outside.
The polysilicon doped conductive layer 30 is used as the first doped region 31, and the alloy doped contact portion 93 is disposed on the first surface F of the substrate 10 at a position corresponding to the hollowed-out structure 51, and is used as the second doped region 32 of the back contact solar cell 100. The first surface F side of the substrate 10 is provided with the first electrode 94 and the second electrode 95, the first electrode 94 is in contact with the polysilicon doped conductive layer 30, and the second electrode 95 is in contact with the alloy doped contact 93. Of course, it is understood that the second doped region 32 is isolated from the first doped region 31 by the isolation region 50 to prevent leakage. The passivation layer 90 may cover a first side of the polysilicon doped conductive layer 30 facing away from the substrate 10, and cover a portion of the first surface F exposed to the outside.
The third aspect of the embodiment of the application provides a manufacturing method of a photovoltaic module, which comprises the manufacturing method of the back contact solar cell.
Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a manufacturing process of the photovoltaic module 200 according to an embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 6, in addition to the aforementioned method for manufacturing a back contact solar cell, the method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module further includes:
the back contact solar cell 100 is cut into half-cells 210, and the half-cells 210 include a head end 211 cut and a tail end 212 arranged opposite to the head end 211;
at least two half-cells 210 are sequentially overlapped end to form the photovoltaic module 200, and the tail end 212 of one half-cell 210 is blocked on the light receiving side of the head end 211 of the other half-cell 210 in the two adjacent half-cells 210. In particular, in the photovoltaic module 200 of fig. 6, the trailing end 212 of the half cell 210 located on the left side of the drawing is blocked from the leading end 211 (blocked, shown in phantom) of the half cell 210 located on the right side of the drawing. Of course, it is understood that the case where the photovoltaic module 200 includes two half-cells 210 is illustrated in fig. 6, and the case where the half-cells 210 are plural is similar, and will not be described herein.
With continued reference to fig. 6, each back contact solar cell 100 is laser cut into two half-cells 210 along the center line O, and in the conventional shingle assembly process, the laser cut portions, i.e., the head ends 211, of the two half-cells 210 are directly exposed to the outside, which may result in the same generation of carriers at the edges of the half-cells 210, resulting in a large recombination of the edge positions.
In the method of the embodiment of the present application, one of the half-cells 210 (the half-cell 210 on the left side of the drawing) is rotated 180 degrees, and the tail end 212 side of the left half-cell 210 is covered over the head end 211 of the right half-cell 210, so as to block the laser cutting position (the head end 211) of the right half-cell 210, so that the head end 211 of the right half-cell 210, i.e., the laser cutting position, cannot be illuminated, and therefore, carriers cannot be excited.
In the two adjacent half cells 210, the tail end 212 of one half cell 210 shields the head end 211 of the other half cell 210. While, for the half cell 210 positioned at the uppermost side of the photovoltaic module 200, it is necessary to individually shade the head end 211 thereof with black material to minimize recombination of laser cutting positions. Thereby reducing efficiency losses of the head end 211 in each half cell 210 and improving efficiency of the entire photovoltaic module 200.
Fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a photovoltaic module 200 according to an embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 7, a fourth aspect of the present application provides a photovoltaic module 200, where the photovoltaic module 200 is manufactured by using the manufacturing method of the photovoltaic module described above. In fig. 7, the photovoltaic module 200 includes two half-cells 210 as an example, and the case that the number of half-cells 210 is greater is similar, and will not be described here again.
The photovoltaic module 200 includes a plurality of half-cells 210, and the half-cells 210 include a head end 211 cut and a tail end 212 disposed opposite to the head end 211.
At least two half-cells 210 overlap end to end in turn, and in two adjacent half-cells 210, the tail end 212 of one half-cell 210 is blocked at the light receiving side of the head end 211 of the other half-cell 210. The light-receiving side is here, for example, the side of the second side S of the back-contact solar cell.
For the case that the number of the half cells 210 is more than two, the plurality of half cells 210 form an arrangement mode of the shingle assembly, that is, the tail end 212 of the first half cell 210 is placed in parallel above the cut edge (that is, the head end 211) of the second half cell 210, and the arrangement principle is that the cut edge (the head end 211) of the second half cell 210 is completely blocked. The edge of the other side of the second half cell 210 that is not cut (tail end 212) is placed over the cut edge of the third half cell 210 (head end 211) for shielding. The individual half-cells 210 are connected in series in sequence to form a full back solar cell assembly, i.e., the photovoltaic assembly 200. In the photovoltaic module 200, the cutting edge (head end 211) of the uppermost half cell 210, i.e., the first half cell 210, is shielded by the black material, and carriers are prevented from being generated at one side of the cutting edge, so as to reduce carrier recombination caused by cutting damage.
The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
The above examples illustrate only a few embodiments of the application, which are described in detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the application. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the application, which are all within the scope of the application. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present application is to be determined by the appended claims.
