Abstract

Provided is a light gathering device applicable to a solar energy cell. The light gathering device is suitable for being used in a flat solar energy cell. By adding a reflection /refraction member to a position above the invalid area of the cell, the sunlight cast to the invalid area can be gathered to the valid area of the cell, thereby increasing the total power of the cell. The reflection/ refraction member can be made into a plane, a curved surface, a sawtooth surface, or other structures. As the gaps or blank areas can be left between cells when the cells are assembled into a module, and the conductive wire arranged above the cells also shields partial area, the invalid area is thus formed. With this light gathering device, the light loss resulting from the existence of the invalid area can be reduced by 60 to 99%. If a sunlight tracer is combined with the light gathering device for usage, the best light gathering effect can be achieved.

Description

A kind of light collecting device that is used for solar cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to solar battery technology, specifically, the present invention relates to a kind of design that increases panel solar battery module light utilization efficiency.
Background technology
Solar cell is a kind of device that utilizes photovoltaic effect solar energy to be converted into electric energy.1954, the U.S. prepared the AT&T Labs modern first silicon solar cell based on PN junction, and photoelectric conversion efficiency has reached 6%.Through the development of over half a century, the technology of solar cell is among continuous progress and maturation, and commercial applications is based on the solar cell of silicon the most widely at present.Mainly comprise monocrystalline silicon battery; Polycrystal silicon cell and amorphous silicon battery; Early stage in the 1970's; Companies such as Sharp, Philip and solar electric power begin to prepare the commercial batteries module of small size, and progressively begin to be applied to ground, to 1980 mid-nineties 90s increasing company begin to put into the research and development and the manufacturing field of solar cell.
Arrived the early 21st century; Solar cell begins formally to receive the concern energetically of various countries as a kind of mode of efficiently utilizing of clean energy resource; The international market is for the rush of demand of solar cell, and China begins to occupy more and more important position in the manufacturing field of solar cell.Solar cell has been widely used in street lamp, building surface, roof, power station etc.The form of utilizing of present solar cell mainly is that a series of solar battery sheets are formed solar modules or claimed solar panel, can use separately according to the difference of power or forms array and use solar panel then.
Because in the cell panel commonly used at present; To leave certain slit between the adjacent cell sheet; Carry out electric current collection and have conductiving metal strip usually on every battery sheet, these slits and bonding jumper can occupy certain area and form inactive area, and bonding jumper and slit have the width of 2mm to 3mm usually; If can the light of this part inactive area be collected the effective coverage, can the gross power of battery sheet further be promoted.
The present invention provides a kind of light collecting device, and the light that is incident to inactive area is collected into the effective coverage, thereby reduces energy loss, improves the power of battery, and this is equivalent under the situation that does not change battery itself, improve the efficient of battery.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide the light collecting device that a kind of light that will expose to solar cell or battery module inactive area is collected into its effective coverage.
The objective of the invention is to realize like this: reflection or refractive component formation sunlight collecting device are installed at the upper space of solar cell inactive area; The feasible sunlight that exposes to inactive area etc. is transferred to the effective coverage; Wherein the panel solar battery of solar cell under a sun light intensity, using usually comprises silion cell, GaAs battery etc.It is characterized in that: the reflection or refractive component be installed in inactive area directly over; Wherein inactive area refers to not have the zone of light-sensitive material or the zone that light-sensitive material is blocked; Comprise white space, protective material zone, regions of conductive material etc., directly over refer to the direction in light positive incident time source.
Wherein, reflection or refractive component are positioned at the inactive area upper space, and can be adjacent cell panel surface through mode such as bonding be connected with cell panel fixes, and also can leave the cell panel certain distance and fix through additional frame.
Wherein, Reflection part can be the parts that have the plane of reflection or curved surface that utilize material with high reflectance to process; The angle of the tangent plane of optional position and cell plane should be between 0 ° to 90 ° in this plane or the curved surface; Reflection part can be that the metal material after the polishing or the element surface processed in any material are with methods such as plating, vapor deposition, sputter formation metallic reflective coating or directly paste reflectance coating; Mainly comprise one or more and alloy or compound in the metals such as silver, aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, nickel, cadmium, chromium, manganese, copper, zinc, germanium, tin, magnesium, gallium, gold, platinum, molybdenum, palladium, or be coated with the other materials such as glass, plastics, pottery, polymer of one or more and alloy or compound in the metals such as silver, aluminium, stainless steel, titanium, nickel, cadmium, chromium, manganese, copper, zinc, germanium, tin, magnesium, gallium, gold, platinum, molybdenum, palladium; Refractive component can be known lens element such as prism, concavees lens, convex lens, Fresnel lens etc.; It also can be element with special shape according to cell shapes and light distribution Demand Design; The material that these parts use can be a material known; Like transparent materials such as glass, acrylic resin, polyolefin resin, polycarbonate resins, these parts can be collected into the effective coverage with the light of inactive area through refraction or total reflection.
Wherein, For having the inactive area that rectangular shape maybe can be divided into rectangular shape; The reflection part of installing above it can have the inclined-plane that two symmetries are laid; Two inclined-planes overlap on the limit in inactive area centre position and enough sharply collecting sunlight as much as possible, limit and inactive area coincident at the inactive area edge, and the angle theta of two inclined-planes and cell plane formation should be between 5 ° to 89 °.
Because the inactive area width is less in the flat plate cells such as silion cell, under the situation of not using the sunlight follow-up mechanism, use the present invention can reach good light collecting effect; The slit that is 3mm for example for a width; The double inclined plane reflecting parts are set above it, and inclined-plane and cell plane angle are 80 °, and then these parts can make 3.6 hours positive mornings in just afternoon 3.6 hours; All sunlight that expose to this parts reflecting surface all are collected into the effective coverage near the 30mm scope of parts; And in exceeding the certain hour scope of this scope, device still can play a part and collect the effect that strengthens, and embodiment 8 has provided and specified.And if cooperation sunlight follow-up mechanism uses, then can remain the collection enhancing and reach optimum efficiency.
The present invention has following technique effect:
1, exposes to the sunlight of battery for scope at a certain angle; Can thereby its effective coverage that is collected into battery fully be avoided owing to the waste that exists inactive area to produce; And in exceeding the certain limit of this angular range; Can play the collection reinforced effects of part, use the present invention to make because inactive area exists the light loss that causes to reduce 60% to 99%.
2, the present invention is intended to collect the sunlight of inactive area waste, and as far as the effective coverage, its light intensity increases less, the technical problems such as heat radiation that can not cause concentrating solar battery to face.
3, cooperate the sunlight follow-up mechanism to use, the effect of gatherer is maximized all the time.
4, the present invention can be applicable to the solar cell of all slab constructions.
