Description

Film photovoltaic device
Technical field
The utility model relates generally to a kind of photovoltaic device.More specifically, the utility model relates to a kind of laminating foil that will have the thinning of some reflection characteristic and adds extra (i.e. independent preparation) combined photovoltaic device of rear seal-cover and another reflector.
Background technology
Photovoltaic solar is converted to people the distant view that generates electricity with a kind of eco-friendly means is provided.Yet, under present state, to compare with the electric power that provides by traditional power station, the electric energy that is provided by the photovoltaic energy converting unit is much still expensive.Therefore, in recent years, exploitation is used to produce the cost-benefit means of having more of photovoltaic energy converting unit and has caused concern.In the distinct methods of producing the low-cost solar battery, thin film silicon solar cell is because can be by for example plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition; PECVD) etc. well-known film deposition techniques preparation and be subjected to people and like.This kind solar panel generally is based on the glass substrate of rigidity and realizes, wherein the photovoltaic active layer is to be applied on the nonbreakable glass substrate by vacuum moulding machine.Because these semiconductor layers are very sensitive to environmental impacts such as for example moisture, thereby must encapsulate them.This is generally by finishing on the coated side that second glass substrate is laminated to described first substrate.In affiliated field, known use laminating foil engages described two glass substrates, and this laminating technology utilizes heat and pressure to finish the sealing assembling.If, then can even help not re-use independent reflector by making it demonstrate white to laminating foil cremasteric reflex white particle.
Main some photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing technology relevant with thin film silicon photovoltaic upper substrate demonstrates the light capture effect of improvement to the reflection of the photon that is not converted/collects by enhancing.Fig. 1 shows this kind layout: glass substrate or front glass 10 demonstrate the semi-conducting material sequence of layer that can realize photovoltaic effect.Described sequence of layer is called absorbed layer 11.Comprise transparent conductive material (transparent conductive material; TCO) transparent back contact 12 plays rear electrode.Reflector blocking 13 can " use " light lead back to again in the absorbed layer and together front glass and back glass laminates.The path of the arrow pilot light among Fig. 1.The incident light 16 that irradiation comes enters base substrate 10 to a great extent; Yet a certain ratio 17 is reflected.Partly be reflected paper tinsel 13 reflection and can reenter absorbed layer 11 of unabsorbed photon 18, thus the efficient of solar panel improved.Yet a certain ratio of light 19 is still by transmission and loss.
Generally speaking, reflection effect can obtain by following mode: utilize the metallization of back contact 12, perhaps utilize for example to be applied with reflecting medium such as reflectivity barrier coating on it or for example to be filled with TiO 2The polyethylene butyraldehyde (polyvinylbutyral, PVB), (ethylene vinyl acetate EVA) waits the transparent back contact 12 of the laminating foil 13 that is colored for paraffin or ethylene-vinyl acetate.These two kinds of solutions are since just going on the market many years ago, yet just recently just as the back reflector in the film photovoltaic (TF PV).
For reducing the material cost of TF PV module, must reduce the volume of material, in this kind situation the thickness of reflective layer blocking.Fig. 5 shows this kind layout with thin reflective layer blocking 13b.
Defective of the prior art
(13, thickness 13b) can cause the reflectivity of paper tinsel to descend and therefore cause transmissivity to raise to reduce laminating foil.Alleviating a kind of of this problem may be the content that increases the reflective pigments of paper tinsel.The shortcoming of this kind program is the restricted charging coefficient (charging factor) of laminating foil itself.In fact, this can cause losing reliability owing to the decline of the adhesion/disposal ability of paper tinsel itself.
The dependency relation of the transmissivity of Fig. 4 display light and wavelength and another parameter " laminating foil thickness ".Show conventional paper tinsel C and two comparisons of thin paper tinsel among the figure, wherein paper tinsel A is the thinnest.
The utility model content
The purpose of this utility model provides a kind of film photovoltaic device, can not damage under the situation of lamination characteristic of paper tinsel and reduce material cost not damaging reflection characteristic.
Film photovoltaic device of the present utility model comprises base substrate or front glass, the active absorbed layer of photovoltaic, back contact, reflection unit and back glass or back sheet material, the characteristics of described film photovoltaic device are that described reflection unit comprises two reflector of layered arrangement in regular turn.
In a preferred embodiment, first reflector in described two reflector comprises mainly at short wavelength zone (UV, the reflector blocking of reflecting blue light), and wherein second reflector comprises in fact in the longer wavelength zone (ruddiness, the reflector of reflecting in IR).
Useful technique effect of the present utility model is: reflection characteristic of the present utility model allows significantly to reduce the thickness of laminating foil under the situation of the encapsulation characteristic of not damaging paper tinsel itself; Paper tinsel and back sheet material/glass or supporting construction integrated can provide end structure behind a kind of complete integral.The utility model will make it possible to adjust by the preferred plan that finds the absorption of costs between laminating foil, back sheet material/glass and reflection characteristic the thickness of laminating foil.
