Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of devices for converting solar energy into electrical energy for industrial or domestic application, comprising or consisting of photovoltaic modules. More particularly, the invention relates to the field of photovoltaic devices or modules incorporating concentrators, in the form of a textured substrate for concentrating and guiding the incident light to the photovoltaic cells enabling said conversion.
  • Solar energy is now considered a source of clean energy that can in some cases be an alternative to fossil fuels.
  • the photovoltaic energy market in the industrial and domestic sector has been experiencing very high growth rates for several years.
  • global output of modules was about 2.1 GW (gigawatts), which is equivalent to about 15.5 million m 2 of modules (for a standard crystalline silicon module).
  • the estimated growth rate for 2007 is 26%, after being 23% in 2006 and 41% in 2005.
  • the total amount of energy generated by the device is of course directly proportional to the surface covered by the device, and more specifically by the cumulative area covered by all the photovoltaic cells incorporated in the conversion system.
  • the amount of energy but also the cost of the investment are currently directly proportional to the size of the installation.
  • the main element that currently limits even higher growth is the shortage of silicon used in the manufacture of photovoltaic cells, whose solar energy market is the largest market.
  • this shortage explains to a large extent that the cost of a current installation no longer increases essentially according to the overall size of the installation, but especially according to the part covered by the photovoltaic cells themselves.
  • an approach already described consists in producing solar modules of large surface integrating a texture substrate that allows the concentration of light on smaller surface cells.
  • the introduction of light concentrators makes it possible to substantially reduce the surface area of the photovoltaic cells, thereby reducing the overall cost of the installation. .
  • Patent application WO2006 / 133126 or US2006 / 272698 discloses possible embodiments of a textured substrate acting as a light concentrator.
  • a photovoltaic module 1 is formed of a series of elementary photovoltaic cells 4 in the form of strips bonded to a glass substrate 5.
  • the substrate 5 has a texturing 7 of the two-dimensional type, as shown in FIG. 1a, configured to allow the trapping of light. More particularly, the texturing 7 may be described as consisting of a succession of triangular prisms 8, parallel to each other and whose end is truncated, so that the substrate has, on its inner side, a flat strip 11 whose surface corresponds to that of the photovoltaic strip 4 placed opposite.
  • the operating principle is easily understood if we consider the trajectory of the rays 2 and 2 ', as shown in FIG. 1b.
  • the two rays are refracted at the air-glass interface 6.
  • the refracted ray 2 arrives directly on the photovoltaic cell 4, while the radius 2 'undergoes a total internal reflection, in point 3, before reaching the cell 4.
  • the person skilled in the art thus easily understands that the rays having angles of incidence that are even relatively high relative to the normal to the surface of the substrate 5 will nevertheless be collected by the photovoltaic cells, which induces a concentration of light, within the meaning of the present invention.
  • a concentration factor can also be easily calculated, corresponding to the ratio between the spacing between two successive texturations and the width of the photovoltaic cells, that is to say the width 9 of the strip 11.
  • the term "spacing" according to the present invention corresponds to the pitch of the texturing pattern, or to the distance between the median positions of two successive cells.
  • the angle of reception of the light rays can be substantially increased by using a texturing in the form whose reliefs are comparable to those described in relation to Figure 1 but whose rounded sides 20, as shown in FIG. 2. Parabolic flanks appeared very effective for trapping light.
  • a mineral glass has many advantages, in particular as regards the behavior over time, for its high resistance to temperature or UV for example. A glass with a low iron content is preferred to minimize absorption.
  • Albarino® glass from Saint-Gobain Glass.
  • the method of manufacturing the textured substrate is a problem. Indeed, it is immediately conceivable, according to the representation described in Figures 1 and 2, that during the manufacture of the photovoltaic module 1, the photovoltaic cells shown in these figures in the form of strips 4 must be placed with the greatest precision strips 11 on the entire surface of the module 1. In addition, due to a share of the production costs and secondly the need to achieve and verify, before the assembly of the substrate 5, all the electrical connections. necessary for the proper functioning of the module, the manufacturing process requires that the bonding of all the photovoltaic strips 4 on the strips 11 facing the textured substrate is done in a single step. Under these conditions, it is therefore conceivable that the substrate 11 must have a very precisely defined and regular texturing, not only at the widths 9 of the strips 11, which must correspond exactly to those of the strips 4, but also at the spacings 10 between two successive textures.
  • the most conventionally used method for the manufacture of large glass substrate consists of a rolling process, the principle of which is illustrated in FIG. 3, in which the molten glass 30, drawn on a refractory 33, is formed by the passage through metal rollers 32 and 34.
  • the glass has a temperature of about 1200 0 C before forming and about 850 0 C output of the rolling machine.
  • a conventional technique is to use rolls having the negative of the pattern or texturing that is desired on the glass.
  • These texturing techniques are notably known in the field of decorated glass or else in the field of photovoltaic devices, for example in the publication EP 1774372.
  • the rollers may have an etching on the upper and / or lower face. As is well known, the glass is then stretched and sent to a lehr.
  • FIG. 4a illustrates a conventional roll model 40 having a constant spacing d between two texturing patterns 41 and 42.
  • These texturing patterns are constituted for example by a set of reliefs or excrescences, for example of prismatic shapes, present on the surface of the roller 40 and parallel to each other.
  • the reliefs typically make it possible to obtain, on the internal face of the substrate 5, the texturing 7 described above in relation to FIGS. 1 or 2.
