The embodiment of the utility model provides a technical scheme, a wire jumper is connected to the electricity between the first tie point of the first battery string group through two series connection in every battery cell group and the second tie point of the second battery string group of two series connection, wherein, the wire jumper includes interconnect's first sub-part and second sub-part to different sub-parts through the wire jumper are for having public endpoint wantonly first battery string group with the same diode of second battery string group reverse parallel connection for the diode is only parallelly connected with a first battery string group and a second battery string group, compare in prior art every diode and two first battery string groups and two parallelly connected modes of second battery string group, and the quantity of the parallelly connected battery string group of diode reduces, under the prerequisite of guaranteeing that the diode is not punctured, and the quantity of battery piece increases in every battery string group, and then has avoided increasing the problem that the diode that easily leads to when the battery piece quantity in the photovoltaic module is punctured backward And occurs.

The above is the core idea of the present application, and the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, under the premise that creative work is not done by ordinary skilled in the art, all other embodiments obtained all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from the specific details disclosed herein, and one skilled in the art may readily devise many other varied embodiments that are not limited to the specific details disclosed herein.

Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the schematic drawings, and in the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention, for convenience of explanation, the schematic drawings showing the structure of the device are not partially enlarged according to the general scale, and the schematic drawings are only examples, which should not limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and height should be included in the actual fabrication.

Fig. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a photovoltaic module according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the photovoltaic module includes at least one battery cell group 100, the battery cell group 100 includes a first battery cell 110 and a second battery cell 120 connected in parallel, the first battery cell 110 includes two first battery string groups 111 connected in series, the first battery string group 111 includes three first battery strings 101 connected in parallel, the second battery cell 120 includes two second battery string groups 121 connected in series, the second battery string group 121 includes three second battery strings 102 connected in parallel, and the battery strings in the battery string groups each include an equal number of battery slices 201 connected in series. In the same battery cell group 100, the first connection point O of the two first battery string groups 111 connected in series and the second connection point P of the two second battery string groups 121 connected in series are electrically connected through a jumper 300, the jumper 300 includes a first sub-part 310 and a second sub-part 320 connected with each other, the first battery string group 111 and the second battery string group 121 arbitrarily having a common end point are respectively connected in reverse parallel with the same diode 200 through different sub-parts of the jumper 300, wherein the battery sheet 201 is a one-third battery sheet cut from a whole battery sheet.

The diode 200 can prevent a hot spot effect from being generated when the first battery string set 111 or the second battery string set 121 connected in parallel with the diode is blocked. In addition, the reason why the first battery cell 110 and the second battery cell 120 in each battery cell group 100 are connected in parallel is that: when all the cells 201 are connected in series, the output voltage across the photovoltaic module is large, and the arrangement can reduce the output voltage of the photovoltaic module by half.

It should be noted that the jumper 300 is used to electrically connect the first connection point O and the second connection point P, and is insulated from other conductive structures. The insulating manner of the jumper 300 and other conductive structures is not particularly limited in this embodiment, and for example, an insulating layer may be disposed between the jumper 300 and other conductive structures, or the jumper 300 includes a peripheral insulating layer.

In the present embodiment, the first sub-portion 310 and the second sub-portion 320 of the jumper 300 may be an integrally formed structure, or may be a separate structure, and preferably, both are integrally formed for easy manufacturing.

Illustratively, the cell unit 100 includes two diodes 200, and the two diodes 200 may be disposed in the same junction box, which is advantageous for simplifying the structure of the photovoltaic module. It is understood that all the diodes 200 corresponding to each battery cell group 100 may be further disposed in the same junction box, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

In the solution provided in this embodiment, a jumper 300 is electrically connected between the first connection point O of two first battery string sets 111 connected in series and the second connection point P of two second battery string sets 121 connected in series in each battery cell group 100, wherein the jumper 300 includes a first sub-portion 310 and a second sub-portion 320 connected to each other, and the same diode 200 is connected in parallel in reverse direction to any of the first battery string set 111 and the second battery string set 121 having a common end point through different sub-portions of the jumper 300, so that the diode 200 is connected in parallel to only one first battery string set 111 and one second battery string set 121, compared with the prior art in which each diode 200 is connected in parallel to two first battery string sets 111 and two second battery string sets 121, the number of battery string sets in which the diode 200 is connected in parallel is reduced, and under the premise that the diode 200 is not broken down, the number of battery sheets 201 in each battery string set is increased, and further, the problem that the diode 200 is subjected to reverse breakdown easily caused by increasing the number of the cell sheets 210 in the photovoltaic module is avoided.

Illustratively, the number of at least one cell stack 100 is greater than or equal to 2, and the adjacent cell stacks 100 are connected in series.

It is to be understood that in other embodiments of the present embodiment, the adjacent battery cell groups 100 may be connected in parallel, and the present embodiment is not particularly limited thereto, and only the adjacent battery cell groups 100 are connected in series as an example.

Optionally, with continued reference to fig. 2, the number of at least one cell stack 100 is 1.

It should be noted that the photovoltaic resistor structure shown in fig. 2 adopts the conventional width of the photovoltaic module in the prior art, that is, the width of 6 battery strings, so that the characteristic size of the photovoltaic module is not significantly increased, the layout is convenient, and the increase of the design difficulty is avoided.

Optionally, the number of the battery slices 201 in the first battery string 101 and the second battery string 102 is greater than or equal to 12.

It should be noted that, the conventional diode is limited by its reverse voltage withstanding capability, and the number of cells that can be protected at most does not exceed 24, and for the photovoltaic module in the prior art shown in fig. 1, the reverse voltage of each diode is equal to the total voltage of two series strings of cells connected in parallel, so the number of cells in each string is at most 12, and the number of cells in the photovoltaic module shown in fig. 1 is at most 144. In the photovoltaic module provided by this embodiment, each diode is connected in parallel with one cell string in an inverse manner, the inverse voltage of the diode is equal to the voltage of one cell string, and the number of the cells in each cell string can be up to 24, that is, compared with the scheme that the number of the cells in the cell string is up to 12 in fig. 1, the number of the cells in each cell string in the photovoltaic module provided by this embodiment can be increased by one time, and further, under the condition that the number of the cell strings is equal, the total number of the cells in the photovoltaic module can be increased by one time. Based on the above analysis, the number of the cells in the first cell string and the second cell string is set to be greater than the maximum number of the cells that the cell string in the prior art can contain, that is, 12 cells, so as to increase the number of the cells in the photovoltaic module on the premise of ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic module, and obtain better device performance compared with the prior art. And the number of the battery pieces in the first battery string and the second battery string can be equal to the maximum number of the battery pieces which can be contained in the battery string in the prior art, namely 12 battery pieces, at the moment, the number of the battery pieces which are connected in parallel with each diode is far smaller than the number of the battery pieces which can be loaded at the maximum, and compared with the prior art in which the diode needs to adopt the maximum reverse voltage-resistant load-bearing 12 battery pieces, the probability of reverse breakdown of the diode is effectively reduced due to the performance fluctuation of the diode caused by the influence of process errors in the technical scheme provided by the embodiment.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the photovoltaic module of fig. 2. As shown in fig. 3, all the cells 201 in the photovoltaic module are arranged in N rows and M columns, the extending direction of the cell rows is a first direction X, the extending direction of the cell columns is a second direction Y, and the jumper 300 extends along the second direction Y, where N is an even number and M is an integer multiple of 6.

Furthermore, N/2 battery pieces 201 in each battery piece column respectively positioned in the 1 st row to the N/2 nd row are sequentially connected in series to form a first battery string 101, and N/2 battery pieces 201 in the N/2+1 th row to the N nd row are sequentially connected in series to form a second battery string 102. Three first battery strings 101 respectively located in the nth to the n +2 th rows are connected in parallel to form a first battery string group 111, every two adjacent first battery string groups 111 are connected in series to form a first battery unit 110, three second battery strings 102 respectively located in the nth to the n +2 th rows are connected in parallel to form a second battery string group 121, every two adjacent second battery string groups 121 are connected in series to form a second battery unit 120, wherein n is 3p +1, p is a non-negative integer, and n is smaller than M, and the first battery unit 110 and the second battery unit 120 arranged in the second direction Y are connected in parallel to form a battery unit group.

Specifically, in fig. 3, N is equal to 24 and M is equal to 6. With continued reference to fig. 3, three first battery strings 101 located in the 1 st column, the 2 nd column and the third column are connected in parallel to form an a first battery string set 810, three first battery strings 101 located in the 4 th column, the 5 th column and the 6 th column are connected in parallel to form an b first battery string set 820, and the a first battery string set 810 and the b first battery string set 820 are connected in series to form a first battery unit 110; the three second battery strings 102 in the 1 st column, the 2 nd column and the third column are connected in parallel to form an a second battery string set 830, the three second battery strings 102 in the 4 th column, the 5 th column and the 6 th column are connected in parallel to form an b second battery unit 840, and the a second battery string set 830 and the b second battery unit 840 are connected in series to form a second battery unit 120. The first battery cell 110 and the second battery cell 120 are arranged in the second direction Y and are connected in parallel to form a battery cell group.

It should be noted that, in fig. 3, only N is equal to 24 and M is equal to 6, which are taken as an example and not a limitation, in other embodiments of this embodiment, N may be another even number, and M may be an integer multiple of another 6.

It should be further noted that the structure of the photovoltaic module shown in fig. 3 enables all the cells 201 to be regularly and tightly arranged, which facilitates the electrical connection between the adjacent cells 201 on one hand, and facilitates the reduction of the occupied space of the whole photovoltaic module on the other hand.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the photovoltaic module further includes a center bus bar 500 along the first direction, the center bus bar 500 is disposed in the gap between the N/2 th row and the N/2+1 th row of the cells 201, and the first cell unit 110 and the second cell unit 120 arranged along the second direction Y are connected in parallel to the center bus bar 500.

Optionally, the central bus bar 500 includes M/6 partition regions 501, the partition regions 501 are located between two common endpoints in the battery cell group, and one diode 200 is electrically connected between the endpoint of the two central bus bars 500 formed by the partition regions 501 and the jumper 300.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the central bus bar 500 is used to implement parallel connection between each first battery unit 110 and the corresponding second battery unit 120, which is beneficial to reducing design and process difficulties, and has a simple structure, and has little influence on normal operation of the photovoltaic module.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 3, a connection point of the first sub-portion 310 and the second sub-portion 320 of the jumper 300 may be electrically connected to an L-shaped lead-out line 600, a first side 601 of the L-shaped lead-out line 600 is attached to the jumper 300, a second side 602 of the L-shaped lead-out line 600 is perpendicular to a plane where the cell array is located, the L-shaped lead-out lines 600 correspond to the partition regions 501 one by one, and one diode 200 is electrically connected between end points of two central bus bars formed by the partition regions 501 and the second side 602 of the corresponding L-shaped lead-out line 600.

It should be noted that the L-shaped outgoing line 600 is a dielectric medium for electrically connecting the jumper 300 and the two corresponding diodes 200, and such a setting process is simple and easy to implement, and can reduce the number of connecting lines, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the photovoltaic module.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, only the jumper 300 and the two corresponding diodes 200 are electrically connected through the L-shaped outgoing line 600 for illustration and not limitation, and any structure capable of electrically connecting the jumper 300 and the two corresponding diodes 200 is within the protection scope of the present embodiment.

With continued reference to fig. 3, the photovoltaic module may further include M/3 edge connecting bus bars 700, ends of the three first cell strings 101 respectively located in the nth to n +2 th columns, which are far away from the central bus bar 500, are connected in parallel by the edge connecting bus bar 700 to form first cell string groups 111, and every two adjacent first cell string groups 111 share the same edge connecting bus bar 700 to be connected in series to form the first cell unit 110. The ends of the three second battery strings 102, which are respectively located in the nth to (n + 2) th rows and are far away from the central bus bar 500, are connected in parallel to form second battery string groups 121 through an edge connecting bus bar 700, and every two adjacent second battery string groups 121 share the same edge connecting bus bar 700 and are connected in series to form a second battery unit 120.

It should be noted that the edge connection bus bar 700 can be disposed outside the cell array, and it does not intersect with the cell array, and does not affect the normal operation of the photovoltaic module, and does not affect the overall occupied space of the cell array.

It should be noted that the edge connection bus bar 700, the center bus bar 500, and the jumper wire 300 can be formed in the same process step, thereby achieving the advantage of simplifying the process steps.

Fig. 4 is a schematic sectional view along the broken line AB in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 4, the jumper wire 300 partially overlaps the battery cell array 10 in a direction Z perpendicular to a plane of the battery cell array, and an insulating layer 400 is disposed between the jumper wire 300 and the battery cell array 10 at least in an overlapping region.

It should be noted that the jumper 300 is generally a conductor formed by a conductive material, and when there is an overlap with the cell array 10, an interconnection bar (not shown) for achieving electrical connection between the cells is easy to overlap with the jumper 300, and if the two are in direct contact with each other, the electrical connection may be caused, thereby affecting the normal operation of the photovoltaic module. Therefore, an insulation layer 400 is disposed between the jumper line 300 and the battery cell array 10, and the insulation layer 400 is disposed at least in an overlapping region of the jumper line 300 and the interconnection bar (not shown) to ensure insulation. It is understood that, for the convenience of preparation, the insulating layer 400 may also be disposed in the surrounding area at the same time, as shown in fig. 4, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment, as long as the normal operation of the photovoltaic module is not affected.

Illustratively, the insulating layer 400 may be a light reflecting film.

It should be noted that the reflective film can also have other light reflection effects besides the insulating effect, which is beneficial to the improvement of the performance of the photovoltaic module device.

Illustratively, with continued reference to fig. 4, the difference between the width of the insulating layer 400 and the width of the jumper 300 is greater than or equal to 5mm in the row direction X of the cell matrix 10.

Referring to fig. 3, the length of the insulating layer 400 is greater than the length of the cell matrix and less than the distance between the first connection point O and the second connection point P in the column direction Y of the cell matrix.

It should be noted that, in order to avoid the deviation between the actual position and the preset position of the jumper 300 and the insulating layer 400 caused by the process error, and the misalignment between the actual position and the preset position, the width of the insulating layer 400 is set to be greater than the width of the jumper 300, and the width of the insulating layer 400 is set to be at least twice the displacement length of the process error greater than the width of the jumper 300, for example, the difference between the width of the insulating layer 400 and the width of the jumper 300 is set to be equal to or equal to 5mm according to the conventional process error.

Similarly, the length of the insulating layer 400 is set to be greater than the length of the battery cell array, and in order to prevent the insulating layer 400 from affecting the electrical connection between the jumper 300 and the first connection point O and the second connection point P, the length of the insulating layer 400 is set to be smaller than the length between the first connection point O and the second connection point P.

Further, the thinner the insulating layer 400 is, the better the insulating function can be achieved, so that the lamination crack can be avoided.

Illustratively, adjacent cells 201 in the cell string are electrically connected by an interconnection bar (not shown), and the jumper wire 300 does not overlap with the interconnection bar (not shown) in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the cell array is located.

It should be noted that the formed interconnection bar (not shown) has a certain height, which is raised above the surface of the cell array, and in order to avoid the problem that the lamination of the jumper wire 300, the insulation layer 400 and the interconnection bar (not shown) increases the local height further, and thus the lamination crack occurs, the jumper wire 300 is not overlapped with the interconnection bar (not shown).

Optionally, fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional structure diagram of a jumper wire provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 5, the patch cord 300 may include a center conductor 301 and a peripheral insulation layer 302 wrapped around the outside of the center conductor 301.

It should be noted that when the jumper 300 with this structure is in contact with other lead structures, the peripheral insulating layer 302 can perform an insulating function, and an additional insulating layer is not required, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure and process of the photovoltaic module.

Illustratively, the thickness of the jumper 300 can range from 0.05 mm to 0.15mm, and the width of the jumper 300 can range from 1 mm to 5 mm.

It should be noted that the excessive thickness of the jumper 300 may affect the overall thickness of the photovoltaic module, the too small thickness of the jumper 300 may affect the electrical performance thereof, in addition, the too wide width of the jumper 300 may cause the occupied space to be large, thereby increasing the probability of the electrical connection between the jumper 300 and the cell matrix, and the too small width of the jumper 300 may affect the electrical performance connection characteristics between the jumper 300 and the first connection point and the second connection point, accordingly, the thickness range of the jumper 300 set in the preferred embodiment is 0.05-0.15 mm, and the width range of the jumper 300 is 1-5 mm.

It is worth noting that compared with the photovoltaic module in the prior art, in the photovoltaic module formed by adopting the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the number of the single-string battery pieces which are reversely connected in parallel with each diode is reduced, the total power consumption of all the battery pieces which are reversely connected in parallel with the diodes is reduced, when a single battery piece is shielded, the power of other battery pieces reacting on the battery piece is reduced, and the hot spot temperature of the photovoltaic module is further effectively reduced.

Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a method for manufacturing a photovoltaic module according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 6, the preparation method of the photovoltaic module may specifically include the following steps:

step 11, forming a main circuit of the photovoltaic module, wherein the main circuit comprises at least one battery cell group, and the main circuit is characterized in that the battery cell group comprises a first battery cell and a second battery cell which are connected in parallel; the first battery unit comprises two first battery string groups connected in series, and each first battery string group comprises three first battery strings connected in parallel; the second battery unit comprises two second battery string groups connected in series, and each second battery string group comprises three second battery strings connected in parallel; the battery strings in the battery string group comprise battery pieces which are equal in number and are connected in series; wherein, the battery piece is the one-third battery piece that is formed by whole battery piece cutting.

Specifically, each cell is placed at a preset position on a transparent protective substrate, the cells belonging to the same cell string are electrically connected by using an interconnection bar according to a preset connection relationship, and then parallel connection between corresponding cell strings, series connection between corresponding cell string groups, and parallel connection between corresponding cell units are realized by using a bus bar.
