In some embodiments, the first thin gate 111, the second thin gate 112, and the edge gate line 113 are all made of a burn-through paste, wherein the first thin gate 111 burns through the passivation layer 102 and is in electrical contact with the first doped semiconductor layer 144, the second thin gate 112 burns through the passivation layer 102 and is in electrical contact with the second doped semiconductor layer 154, and the edge gate line 113 burns through the passivation layer 102 and is in electrical contact with the first doped semiconductor layer 144.

With continued reference to fig. 1, the first fine grid 111 and the second fine grid 112 extend along the second direction X, and the first direction Y and the second direction X may be perpendicular to each other, or may have an included angle smaller than 90 degrees, for example, 60 degrees, 45 degrees, 30 degrees, or the like, where the first direction Y and the second direction X are not the same direction. In order to facilitate explanation and understanding, the embodiment uses the first direction Y and the second direction X perpendicular to each other as an example, and in a specific application, the angle between the first direction Y and the second direction X may be adjusted according to the actual needs and the application scenario, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.
In some embodiments, the substrate includes two second boundaries, the two second boundaries being opposite along the second direction X. The reason why the chamfer is formed is that in the conventional solar cell, because the silicon single crystal process for preparing the substrate is refined and limited, the silicon single crystal rod can only be made into a circle at present, the silicon rod is sliced into the shape of a single crystal silicon wafer after coming out, namely, the silicon rod section is sliced into the shape of the single crystal silicon wafer (after the area is calculated, the illumination area can be increased to the greatest extent in one unit, the silicon rod material can be saved to the greatest extent, the cell and component production are also facilitated), the chamfer is usually arranged at the juncture of each boundary of the substrate, the stress outside the silicon wafer is reduced, and the micro-damage of the corners of the silicon wafer is avoided.
In some embodiments, the edge gate line 113 may be provided to increase the collection rate of the current generated by the substrate at the first boundary. And secondly, the edge grid line 113 is electrically contacted with the first main grid so as to realize the electrical connection between all the first fine grids 111 and the first main grid 121, thereby improving the battery collection rate and reducing the defective rate of the battery.
In some embodiments, the edge grid lines 113 can improve the collection efficiency of the solar cell by 1% -5%, and reduce the reject ratio of the cell by less than 5%, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell and the cost performance of the photovoltaic module are improved.
In some embodiments, the edge gate line 113 is a whole gate line connected to the adjacent first main gate 121, and the extending direction of the edge gate line 113 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first main gate 121 or the extending direction of the edge gate line 113 overlaps with the extending direction of the first fine gate 111, so that a part of the existing printing screen of the fine gate 110 can be modified or the edge gate line 113 can be printed secondarily, thereby reducing improvement on the prior art and improving compatibility and applicability of equipment.
In some embodiments, the edge grid line 113 is a grid line electrically connected to a portion of the first main grid, a portion of the connection grid line is located inside the cell, and the solar cell realizes the electrical connection between the first main grid and the first thin grid 111 through the edge grid line 113 and the connection grid line.
In some embodiments, the material of the edge gate line 113 is the same as the material of the fine gate 110. The slurry of the edge grid line 113 is the same as that of the fine grid 110, that is, the edge grid line 113 is formed by burning-through slurry, and the edge grid line 113 also penetrates through the passivation layer to be electrically connected with the corresponding first doped semiconductor layer, so that the edge grid line 113 not only can realize current penetration of the first main grid 121, but also can collect current adjacent to the substrate surface of the first boundary 101, thereby increasing a collection path and improving current collection efficiency.
In some embodiments, the paste of the edge gate line 113 is the same as the paste of the main gate 120, that is, the edge gate line 113 is formed by non-burning paste, and the edge gate line 113 is located on the surface of the passivation layer, so that the i region and the ii region of the substrate surface under the edge gate line 113 do not need to be typeset, so as to prevent the problem of short circuit caused by electrical contact between the edge gate line 113 and the doped region of another polarity. In addition, the edge grid line 113 can not damage the passivation layer, so that the integrity of the film layer of the passivation layer is ensured, the passivation effect of the passivation layer on the substrate is improved, the optical loss of the solar cell is reduced, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved. In addition, as the non-burning-through paste does not damage PN junctions due to excessive glass powder, metal recombination can be effectively reduced, the open-circuit voltage of the solar cell is improved, and the conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved.
The traditional slurry comprises a mixture of metal powder, glass powder and an organic carrier. The non-burn-through type slurry is a slurry which contains glass powder with lower content than the traditional slurry, has weak burn-through capability in the sintering process and does not need or cannot burn through the passivation layer. The burn-through type slurry refers to slurry which has strong burn-through capability and can burn through a passivation layer in the sintering process.

In some embodiments, a width W1 of the edge gate line 113 along the first direction Y is greater than or equal to a width W2 of the thin gate 110 along the first direction Y. The width W2 of the thin gate 110 along the first direction Y may be at least one of the width of the first thin gate 111 along the first direction Y or the width of the second thin gate 112 along the second direction Y. In this way, the edge gate lines 113 have a larger width to achieve the electrical connection between the first main gates 121, and the edge gate lines 113 do not have an excessive influence on the layout of the original gate lines.

The wider edge grid line 113 can also be used as the end point of the first main grid close to the first boundary, so that the higher edge grid line 113 can improve the accuracy of the first main grid lap joint on the edge grid line 113, and the first main grid 121 can also be correspondingly arranged to be shorter because the edge grid line can share the welding pressure of the first main grid, namely, the end part of the first main grid 121 close to the first boundary 101 can be flush with or lower than the side surface of the edge grid line 113 close to the first boundary 101, so that the distance between the welding point of the welding strip and the first main grid 121 and the first boundary 101 is relatively far, and the probability of breakage of the battery piece is further reduced.
In some embodiments, the width W1 of the edge gate line 113 along the first direction Y includes: 10um to 55um. The width W1 of the edge gate line 113 along the first direction may be 10um to 16um, 16um to 22um, 22um to 30um, 30um to 38um, 38um to 46um, or 46um to 55um. The width of the edge grid line 113 along the first direction is within any range, the capability of the edge grid line 113 for collecting carriers at the edge is strong, and the edge grid line 113 and the first boundary 101 have a certain distance, so that the probability of breakage of the first boundary is reduced.
In some embodiments, the spacing between the edge gate line 113 and the adjacent thin gate 110 is a first spacing S1, and the first spacing is less than or equal to a distance S2 between the adjacent first thin gate 111 and the second thin gate 112.
