Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a solar cell unit, which comprises a cell and a first layer positioned on one side of the cell, wherein the first layer comprises a first adhesive film layer and a substrate positioned on one side of the first adhesive film layer. The solar cell unit can prevent the subfissure of the cell, thereby reducing the probability of the subfissure of the cell in the solar cell module, slowing down the decline of the power generation efficiency of the solar cell module and prolonging the power generation service life of the solar cell module.
Background
The solar cell converts sunlight into electric energy through a photovoltaic effect, and mainly comprises a PN junction.
Common solar cell sheet materials include, but are not limited to, crystalline and amorphous silicon, CdTe, CdAs, CuInSe, CuInGaSe, dye-sensitized, and polymer thin film, among which the development of crystalline silicon (including single crystal silicon and polycrystalline silicon) based solar cells is the most mature.
The production process of the cell in the crystalline silicon solar cell mainly comprises the steps of purifying a silicon material, pulling or casting a crystal, slicing, cleaning and roughening, diffusing to form a PN junction, cleaning for the second time, preparing an anti-reflection film, printing an electrode and sintering.
In the slicing step, the silicon single crystal rod or the silicon polycrystalline ingot tends to be thinner due to cost. In addition, in the process of manufacturing a silicon chip into a battery piece, the silicon chip is subjected to high temperature, etching, film coating and the like, so that thermal stress or mechanical stress is easily remained in the silicon chip. The thin thickness and residual internal stress of the cell sheet make it easy to generate fine cracks, i.e. hidden cracks, which are not easy to be observed by naked eyes in the subsequent process. In addition to the above factors, crystal defects of the silicon chip itself are also one of the main factors causing the subfissure.
In addition, a single solar cell cannot be directly used as a power supply due to low working voltage; therefore, a plurality of solar cells are connected in series or parallel and packaged to obtain a solar cell module that can be used as an independent power source.
The manufacturing process of the solar cell module mainly comprises the steps of laying a light-permeable front cover plate, laying a first layer of light-permeable packaging adhesive film, connecting a plurality of single solar cells in series, welding the single solar cells into a serial, positioning the serial and welding the serial, laying a second layer of packaging adhesive film, laying a back plate, laminating, cutting edges, sealing edges and framing, installing a junction box and the like. The series welding machine, the laminating machine and the framing machine used in the steps directly apply acting force on the solar cell; therefore, if the processing parameters are not properly set (for example, but not limited to, the welding temperature is too high, the hardness of the welding strip is too high, and the mechanical force of pressing down the probe of the series welding machine is too large), the battery piece is difficult to resist the external stress and cause the hidden crack due to the thinning of the thickness, the residual stress in the battery piece and the like.
Specifically, for example, but not limited to, the local position of the cell is welded by heating in the series welding step, so that the temperature difference and the expansion degree between the position and the surroundings are different, and the difference mutually pulls in the same plane to cause the in-plane stress. The thinned cell has poor capability of bearing in-plane stress, and is easy to cause subfissure due to temperature difference caused by welding, and the subfissure caused by the subfissure mainly occurs near a main grid line (busbar), particularly at the head and the tail of the cell because the position has stress concentration effect. In addition, if the welding temperature is too high or the welding time is too long, the over-welding is caused, so that the subfissure and the subfissure of the main grid lines and the thin grid lines (fingers) on the front surface of the battery piece are disconnected.
The influence of the subfissure can be more or less, and the emphasis is on the shape of the crack. According to the shape of the hidden crack of the cell, the shape of the hidden crack can be divided into tree-shaped cracks, comprehensive cracks, oblique cracks, cracks parallel to the main grid lines, cracks vertical to the grid lines and cracks penetrating through the whole cell, wherein the cracks parallel to the main grid lines most easily influence the fine grid lines. If the thin grid lines are broken, the collected current cannot be transmitted to the main grid lines, so that the partial or even all of the battery piece is failed, and the efficiency of the battery piece is greatly reduced.
Therefore, a solar cell capable of preventing the cell from being hidden and cracked, and a thin, light and frameless solar module are desired in the technical field, thereby increasing the applicability of the solar module. There is also a desire in the art for a solar module that can reduce in-plane stresses, such as, but not limited to, the use of solder.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
The utility model aims to provide a solar cell unit capable of preventing a solar cell from subfissure, which additionally combines the solar cell with a subfissure-preventing film layer to improve the resistance of the solar cell to mechanical stress and thermal stress, so that the probability of subfissure of the solar cell in a solar cell module is reduced, the decline of the power generation efficiency of the solar cell module is relieved, and the power generation service life of the solar cell module is prolonged.

Examples of the utility model
Subfissure is not easily observed by naked eyes. Therefore, Electroluminescence (EL) is often used in the art to detect internal defects of a solar cell or a module. The EL utilizes the electroluminescence principle of crystalline silicon, obtains near-infrared images through a high-resolution infrared camera shooting component, and can simply and effectively detect subfissure through the images. The black non-luminous region in the EL image is called the "dead region". The dead zone can not generate electricity, so the current generated by the cell with the dead zone is relatively small, and the generated power of the whole module is reduced. When the dead area of the cell is too large, not only the power of the cell is reduced, but also the loss is amplified after the cell is connected in series. The dead zone not only can reduce the power generation, but also can cause overheating and burn out the module if the area is too large.
Test experiments: falling ball impact test
Steel ball for experiment: the weight was 227 grams and the sphere diameter was 3.8 cm.
Falling ball impact test height: 50 cm.
Sample one (comparative example): transparent plastic front cover plate (300 microns)/POE film (500 microns)/crystalline silicon solar cell piece (150 microns)/POE film (500 microns)/plastic photovoltaic back plate (350 microns).
Sample two (utility model example): transparent plastic front cover plate (300 microns)/POE film (500 microns)/battery unit a (480 microns)/POE film (500 microns)/plastic photovoltaic back plate (350 microns), wherein the structure of the battery unit a is crystalline silicon solar battery piece (150 microns)/first adhesive film layer-POE (300 microns)/stainless steel film substrate (30 microns).
Sample three (utility model example): transparent plastic front cover plate (300 microns)/POE film (500 microns)/battery unit B (500 microns)/POE film (500 microns)/plastic photovoltaic back plate (350 microns), wherein the structure of the battery unit B is crystalline silicon solar battery piece (150 microns)/first adhesive film layer-POE (300 microns)/stainless steel film substrate (50 microns).
Summary of test results to table 1 below:
the first sample (comparative example) has a weak ability to withstand falling ball gravity impact, so that the crystalline silicon cell forms a relatively large area of a subfissure region due to external stress, wherein the occupation area of a black dead region is large.
In the case of the second and third samples (utility model examples), which are the battery cells according to the present invention (i.e., the battery cells are combined with the first adhesive film layer and the substrate (30 μm/50 μm stainless steel sheet material)), it can be found through the falling ball gravity impact test that the crystalline silicon battery cells in the battery cells according to the present invention form a relatively small area of the subfissure region after being subjected to the external stress, and the area of the black dead zone is small.
From the above results, it can be seen that the cell unit according to the present invention can bear stronger external stress than that of a single crystalline silicon cell, and reduce the occurrence probability of subfissure of the crystalline silicon cell and the area of black dead zone. The solar cell module using the cell unit can reduce the probability of subfissure caused by external stress, thereby reducing power attenuation and prolonging service life.
From the above results, the battery unit according to the present invention improves the stress resistance of the single battery cell through the first adhesive film layer and the substrate, and the thickness of the substrate also has the stress resistance, and the effect of improving the thickness is more obvious.
