Description

  The present invention relates to a solar cell sealing film that seals a solar cell element in a solar cell, and in particular, by including a wavelength conversion material, the sun can increase the light rays contributing to the power generation of the solar cell and improve the power generation efficiency. The present invention relates to a battery sealing film.

  In recent years, solar cells that directly convert sunlight into electrical energy have been widely used from the viewpoints of effective use of resources and prevention of environmental pollution, and further development has been promoted in terms of power generation efficiency and weather resistance.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the solar cell generally has a surface side transparent protective member 21 made of a glass substrate or the like, a surface side sealing film 23A, a solar cell element 24 such as a silicon crystal power generation element, and a back side sealing film 23B. , And a back surface side protection member (back cover) 22 are laminated in this order, deaerated under reduced pressure, and heated and pressurized to crosslink and cure the front surface side sealing film 23A and the back surface side sealing film 23B, thereby integrally bonding. Is manufactured.

  On the other hand, in general, any type of solar cell element such as a silicon crystal power generation element has a low spectral sensitivity to light in the ultraviolet region, and the problem that solar energy cannot be effectively utilized is known. It has been. In order to solve this problem, there is a technique for improving the power generation efficiency of solar cells by using a material (wavelength conversion material) that converts light in the ultraviolet region into light having a wavelength in the visible region or near infrared region. Proposed. Specifically, a technique (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2) or the like in which a fluorescent material (for example, a rare earth complex emitting fluorescence of 500 to 1000 nm) is included in a sealing material (sealing film) of a solar cell module has been proposed. ing.

  Moreover, in order to improve the weather resistance of the solar cell sealing film, an ultraviolet absorber may be added to the solar cell sealing film. It is known that the improvement effect is inhibited. In Patent Document 3, in order to achieve both improvement in power generation efficiency and weather resistance, a dispersion resin and a fluorescent material having an absorption wavelength peak at 300 nm or more and 450 nm or less are contained, and an ultraviolet absorber other than the fluorescent material is contained. A sealing sheet having a rate of 0.15 parts by mass or less (preferably not substantially included) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the dispersed resin has been proposed.

  However, according to the study by the present inventors, when the solar cell sealing film does not substantially contain an ultraviolet absorber, the weather resistance of the solar cell is not sufficient even if it contains a fluorescent material. In particular, it has been found that poor appearance due to yellowing of the back cover of the solar cell is likely to occur. In addition, when the front side sealing film contains a fluorescent material and the back cover side sealing film contains an ultraviolet absorber only to prevent yellowing of the back cover, the front side sealing film absorbs ultraviolet rays. It has been found that, although the agent is not contained, the effect of improving the power generation efficiency by the fluorescent material may be reduced during storage or use of the solar cell.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a solar cell sealing film that can improve the power generation efficiency of a solar electric ground element by including a wavelength conversion material, further improving the weather resistance of the solar cell, and the solar cell. An object of the present invention is to provide a sealing film capable of maintaining the effect of improving the power generation efficiency during storage or use of a battery.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell having high power generation efficiency and excellent weather resistance using the solar cell sealing film.

  The present inventors have included the ultraviolet absorber only in the back side sealing film and the front side side during storage or use of the solar cell, although the front side sealing film did not contain the ultraviolet absorber. As a result of earnestly examining the cause of the decrease in the power generation efficiency improvement effect by the fluorescent material (wavelength conversion material) contained in the sealing film, the organic ultraviolet absorbent added to the back side sealing film is It turned out that it shifted to the surface side sealing film during use, and the effect which improves the power generation efficiency of a fluorescent substance was inhibited. The present inventors have further studied from these findings and have arrived at the present invention.

  That is, the above object is a pair of solar cell sealing films for forming a solar cell by sealing a solar cell element between a front surface side transparent protective member and a back surface side protective member, The surface-side sealing film between the solar cell element and the surface-side protective member includes a resin material, and a wavelength conversion substance that converts light in the ultraviolet region to light having a wavelength in the visible region or near infrared region, The back side sealing film between the solar cell element and the back side protective member contains a resin material and an inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent, and the front side sealing film and the back side sealing film are organic. This is achieved by a pair of solar cell sealing films characterized by being substantially free of ultraviolet absorbers.

  The pair of solar cell sealing films of the present invention can improve the power generation efficiency of the solar cell by the wavelength conversion material contained in the front surface side sealing film, and the inorganic ultraviolet shielding contained in the back side sealing film. The agent can protect the back side protection member (back cover) of the solar cell from ultraviolet rays and does not migrate to the surface side sealing film during storage or use of the solar cell. The improvement effect is not inhibited and the effect can be maintained.

  Further, the above object is to provide a solar cell in which a solar cell element is sealed by interposing a pair of sealing films between a front surface side transparent protective member and a back surface side protective member. The front surface side sealing film between the front surface side protective member and the back surface side sealing film between the solar cell element and the back surface side protective member are a pair of solar cell sealing films of the present invention. This is achieved by a solar cell characterized in that. Since the solar cell of the present invention uses the pair of solar cell sealing films of the present invention, the solar cell has high power generation efficiency, the high power generation efficiency is maintained during storage or use, and the weather resistance is excellent. It can be said that it is a battery.

  According to the solar cell sealing film of the present invention, the wavelength conversion material contained in the surface side sealing film can improve the power generation efficiency of the solar cell, and the inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent contained in the back side sealing film.

FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a solar cell sealing film and a solar cell of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a general solar cell.

  Below, the sealing film for solar cells and solar cells of this invention are demonstrated, referring drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view for explaining a solar cell sealing film and a solar cell of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the solar cell sealing film of the present invention is a front surface side sealing for sealing the solar cell element 14 between the front surface side transparent protective member 11 and the back surface side protective member (back cover) 12. It is a pair of two sealing films composed of a film 13A and a back surface side sealing film 13B. The surface side sealing film 13A seals between the solar cell element 14 and the surface side transparent protective member 11 (transparent protective member on the light receiving surface side of the solar cell element 14), and the back surface side sealing film 13B is a solar cell element. 14 and the back surface side protection member 12 (protection member opposite to the light receiving surface of the solar cell element 14) is sealed.

  In the present invention, among the pair of solar cell sealing films, the front surface side sealing film 13A includes a resin material and a wavelength converting substance, and the back surface side sealing film 13B includes a resin material and an inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent. The front side sealing film 13A and the back side sealing film 13B include substantially no organic ultraviolet absorber. Thereby, the power generation efficiency of the solar cell can be improved, the effect can be maintained during storage or use, and deterioration such as yellowing of the back cover can be prevented. As shown in the examples to be described later, the organic ultraviolet absorber is contained in the surface side sealing film 13A after the storage test of the solar cell even if it is contained only in the back side sealing film 13B. Reduce the power generation efficiency improvement effect. This is considered that the organic ultraviolet absorber in the back surface side sealing film 13B was transferred to the front surface side sealing film 13A during the storage test. Therefore, in the present invention, not only the front surface side sealing film 13A but also the back surface side sealing film 13B stipulates that the organic ultraviolet absorber is not substantially contained. In addition, the back side sealing film 13B contains an inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent in order to prevent deterioration of the back side protection member 12 such as yellowing due to ultraviolet rays.

  As shown in the examples, when the back side sealing film 13B contains an inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent, the effect of improving the power generation efficiency of the wavelength conversion material contained in the front side sealing film 13A after the storage test of the solar cell. Almost never drops. This is presumably because the inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent is not compatible with the resin material, and thus it is difficult to migrate.

  The organic ultraviolet absorber includes, for example, ultraviolet absorbers such as benzophenone, benzotriazole, triazine, salicylic acid, and cyanoacrylate, and does not substantially contain an organic ultraviolet absorber. Means that the content of the organic ultraviolet absorber is 0.1 parts by mass or less, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or less, particularly 0 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin material.

  Hereinafter, the pair of solar cell sealing films of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[Inorganic UV shielding agent]
The inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent contained in the backside sealing film of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a shielding function of reflecting or absorbing ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight. Examples thereof include fine particles such as titanium dioxide fine particles, zinc oxide fine particles, cerium dioxide fine particles, iron (III) oxide fine particles, zirconium dioxide fine particles, and aluminum oxide (III) fine particles. The average particle diameter of these fine particles is not particularly limited, but is generally 20 μm or less, and preferably 1 nm to 0.5 μm.

  These inorganic ultraviolet shielding agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more. It is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide fine particles, zinc oxide fine particles, and cerium dioxide fine particles in that ultraviolet rays can be effectively shielded. In particular, titanium dioxide fine particles are preferable because they have a high ultraviolet shielding effect and high stability.

  The content of the inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent is not particularly limited as long as the above effects are obtained. Preferably, it is 0.1-10 mass parts with respect to 100 mass parts of said resin materials, More preferably, it is 0.5-10 mass parts, Most preferably, it is 0.5-5 mass parts. Thereby, while maintaining the processing characteristics of the sealing film, a more sufficient ultraviolet shielding effect can be obtained.

[Wavelength conversion material]
The wavelength conversion material contained in the surface-side sealing film of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a function of converting light in the ultraviolet region into light having a wavelength in the visible region or near infrared region. In general, a fluorescent material that converts ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 200 to 400 nm into light having a wavelength of 400 to 1000 nm is used. Examples of fluorescent materials include metal complexes, inorganic phosphors, and organic phosphors. Examples of the metal complex include lanthanoid complexes such as europium, samarium, and terbium, ruthenium complexes, iridium complexes, and the like. Examples of the inorganic phosphor include ZnO: Zn, Y ₂ O ₂ S: Eu, Zn ₂ SiO ₄ : Mn, and the like. Examples of organic phosphors include violanthrone derivatives, perylene derivatives, coumarin derivatives, xanthine derivatives, anthracene derivatives, rhodamine derivatives, pyrene derivatives, phenylene derivatives, and the like. These wavelength conversion materials may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

As the wavelength conversion material, a metal complex is preferable in view of the intensity of fluorescence, the magnitude of Stokes shift (difference between excitation maximum wavelength and emission maximum wavelength), and the like. As the metal complex, a europium complex is preferable in terms of strong fluorescence, a large Stokes shift, and a long fluorescence lifetime. The europium complex is composed of Eu ions (Eu ³⁺ ) and an organic ligand, and examples thereof include Eu (hfa) ₃ (TPPO) ₂ , Eu (hfa) ₃ (BIPHEPO), Eu (TTA) ₃ Phen and the like. . As the europium complex, in particular the following formula (I):

［式中、Ｒは、それぞれ独立して水素原子又は任意に置換されていても良い炭素原子数１〜２０の炭化水素基を表し、ｎは、１〜４の整数である。］で表されるユウロピウム錯体が好ましい。

[Wherein, R independently represents a hydrogen atom or an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 1 to 4. ] The europium complex represented by this is preferable.

  The hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms may be aliphatic or aromatic, may contain an unsaturated bond or a hetero atom, and may be linear or branched. For example, alkyl group (methyl group, ethyl group, propyl group etc.), alkenyl group (vinyl group, allyl group, butenyl group etc.), alkynyl group (ethynyl group, propynyl group, butynyl group etc.), cycloalkyl group, cycloalkenyl group Group, phenyl group, naphthyl group, biphenyl group and the like. The hydrocarbon group may be optionally substituted, and examples of the substituent include a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a nitro group, and a sulfo group. R in formula (I) is preferably all hydrogen atoms.

Such a europium complex has excellent weather resistance (particularly UV resistance) and heat resistance compared to other wavelength conversion materials, so that the wavelength conversion effect during use of solar cells should be maintained at a high level. And the effect of improving the power generation efficiency of the solar cell can be maintained. Further, the europium complex is preferably Eu (hfa) ₃ (TPPO) ₂ in which n in the formula (I) is 1 and all R are hydrogen atoms from the viewpoint of excellent ultraviolet resistance. Eu (hfa) ₃ (TPPO) ₂ is a europium complex in which two ligands of triphenylphosphine oxide and hexafluoroacetylacetone are coordinated to a rare earth metal europium which is a central element.

  The content of the wavelength conversion material is not particularly limited as long as the effect of improving the power generation efficiency is obtained. Preferably, it is 0.0001-1 part by mass, more preferably 0.001-1 part by mass, and particularly preferably 0.001-0.1 part by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin material. . Thereby, the effect which improves more sufficient electric power generation efficiency is acquired.

  In the present invention, the wavelength conversion material is preferably contained in fine particles made of an acrylic resin dispersed in a resin material or supported on the fine particles. Thereby, it can be set as the solar cell sealing film in which the wavelength conversion material is uniformly disperse | distributed in the solar cell sealing film. That is, since the melting point of the wavelength conversion material is higher than that of the resin material containing the ethylene-polar monomer copolymer, it is difficult to uniformly disperse when mixed with the resin material, and unevenness may occur. In that case, the effect of wavelength conversion is uneven, the effect of improving the power generation efficiency is not sufficiently exhibited, and there is a risk of deterioration due to aggregation of the complex and the like. Since the fine particles have good dispersibility in the resin material, the wavelength conversion material can be uniformly dispersed in the resin material by containing or carrying the fine particles, and the effect of improving the power generation efficiency is sufficiently exhibited. And degradation of the complex can be suppressed.

  When the wavelength conversion material is contained in fine particles, deterioration due to the influence of acid or moisture that may occur in a sealing film for solar cells containing an ethylene-polar monomer copolymer can be further prevented. It is preferable in that it can be a solar cell sealing film in which the effect of improving the power generation efficiency is less likely to be lowered.

  In the case where the wavelength conversion material is contained in or supported by the fine particles and blended in the resin material of the solar cell sealing film, the content of the wavelength conversion material in the solar cell sealing film will be described later. It adjusts with the compounding quantity of the microparticles | fine-particles containing a wavelength conversion material.

  In the present invention, when the wavelength conversion material is contained in the fine particles or is supported on the fine particles, the fine particles are preferably formed from an acrylic resin. The acrylic resin is polymerized using a (meth) acrylic monomer as a main component, and may contain another monomer copolymerizable with the (meth) acrylic monomer. Examples of (meth) acrylic monomers include (meth) acrylic acid, methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, n-butyl (meth) acrylate, isobutyl (meth) acrylate, (meth) Examples include dodecyl acrylate, stearyl (meth) acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth) acrylate, and tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth) acrylate. Note that “(meth) acryl-” means “acryl- or methacryl-”. These (meth) acrylic monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Other monomers that can be copolymerized with (meth) acrylic monomers include styrene, o-methylstyrene, m-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, α-methylstyrene, p-methoxystyrene, p-tert-butylstyrene. , Styrene monomers such as p-phenylstyrene, o-chlorostyrene, m-chlorostyrene, p-chlorostyrene, ethylene, propylene, butylene, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, acrylonitrile, acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-vinylpyrrolidone, etc. Is mentioned.

  When trying to obtain resin particles having a crosslinked structure between molecules, a (meth) acrylic monomer having a plurality of polymerizable double bonds in the molecule may be copolymerized with the (meth) acrylic monomer. it can. Examples of such crosslinkable (meth) acrylic monomers include trimethylolpropane triacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, diethylene glycol dimethacrylate, triethylene glycol dimethacrylate, decaethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and pentamethacrylate. (Meta) such as decaethylene glycol, pentamethaethylene dimethacrylate, ethylene glycol 1,3-butylene dimethacrylate, allyl methacrylate, trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate, pentaerythritol tetramethacrylate, diethylene glycol dimethacrylate An acrylic monomer is mentioned, These can also be used in combination of multiple types.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a method of superposing | polymerizing the monomer which forms resin, It can carry out by conventionally well-known methods, such as suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization. Among these, suspension polymerization is preferable because it has advantages such as easy reaction control. In the suspension polymerization, for example, a radical polymerization initiator can be used as the polymerization initiator in which the monomer is polymerized in a solvent such as water in the presence of a polymerization initiator soluble in the monomer. There is no restriction | limiting in particular as a radical polymerization initiator, The peroxide etc. which are used normally are mention | raise | lifted, For example, the organic peroxide and azo initiator which generate | occur | produce a free radical by heat can be used.

  Examples of the organic peroxide include benzoyl peroxide, isobutyl peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, t-butyl hydroperoxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, and the like. As the azo initiator, 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (azoisobutyronitrile), 2,2′-azobis (2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2′-azobis (2 -Methylbutyronitrile), 2,2'-azobis (4-methoxy-2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), dimethyl-2,2'-azobisisobutyrate and the like.

  The solvent can include an organic solvent in addition to water. Examples of the organic solvent include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, sec-butanol, t-butanol, pentanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol; acetone, Examples thereof include ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone; astels such as ethyl acetate; (cyclo) paraffins such as isooctane and cyclohexane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. The addition amount of the polymerization initiator is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately adjusted in consideration of the refractive index of the fine particles to be formed. Generally it is 0.01-10 mass parts with respect to 100 mass parts of monomers, Preferably, it is 0.01-2 mass parts with respect to 100 mass parts of monomers, Especially 0.1-1 mass part.

  The refractive index of the fine particles made of acrylic resin is not particularly limited, but if it is too high compared to the refractive index of the resin material containing the ethylene-polar monomer copolymer of the sealing film, it becomes cloudy due to reflection and is transparent. Decreases and the haze value also increases. Therefore, poly (meth) acryl obtained by polymerizing methyl (meth) acrylate as an acrylic resin having a refractive index equal to or lower than that of the resin material so as not to affect the transparency of the solar cell sealing film. A resin mainly composed of methyl acid is preferred.

  In the present invention, the wavelength converting material may be contained in or supported on the fine particles as described above. In the case of containing in the fine particles, for example, when forming fine particles made of the above-mentioned acrylic resin, a method of mixing and producing a wavelength conversion material together with a polymerizable monomer, and mixing a wavelength conversion material into a dissolved resin And a method for making fine particles. In particular, a method in which a polymerizable monomer and a wavelength conversion material are mixed and manufactured is preferable.

  In the case where the wavelength conversion material is supported on the fine particles, for example, a method of dissolving the wavelength conversion material in a solvent such as acetone or toluene, mixing with the fine particles, and drying can be used.

  There is no restriction | limiting in particular in the quantity of the wavelength conversion material made to contain or carry | support to microparticles | fine-particles. The higher the content of the wavelength conversion material in the fine particles, the higher the emission intensity, and the light resistance and the heat resistance tend to increase. On the other hand, if the content is too high, the transparency may be affected, which is disadvantageous in terms of cost. Accordingly, the content of the wavelength conversion material in the fine particles is preferably 0.01 to 5% by mass, more preferably 0.05 to 2% by mass, particularly 0.1 to 1% by mass, and further 0.5 to 1% by mass. Especially preferably, it is 0.7-1 mass%. If it is this range, the effect which prevents that the wavelength conversion effect falls by an ultraviolet-ray etc. can be maintained over a long period of time.

  When the wavelength conversion material is contained or supported in the fine particles, the content of the wavelength conversion material in the sealing film is particularly 0.0001 to 1 part by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the resin material of the sealing film, Preferably it is 0.001-0.1 mass part, Especially 0.005-0.01 mass part is preferable.

  In the present invention, the shape of the fine particles is not particularly limited, but a spherical shape is preferable in terms of low dispersibility and light scattering properties. The average particle size of the fine particles is not particularly limited, but if it is too large, the surface area per mass of the fine particles is small, so that the light emission efficiency may be lowered. They may be easily bonded to each other and dispersibility may be reduced. Therefore, the average particle diameter of the fine particles is preferably 5 to 200 μm, more preferably 20 to 150 μm, and particularly preferably 50 to 100 μm.

[Resin material]
The resin material contained in the solar cell sealing film (front surface side sealing film and back surface side sealing film) of the present invention has adhesiveness and transparency required for the solar cell sealing film. There are no particular restrictions. Examples thereof include ethylene-polar monomer copolymers, polyvinyl acetal resins (for example, polyvinyl formal, polyvinyl butyral (PVB resin), modified PVB), polyolefin resins, and the like. In the present invention, the resin material contains an ethylene-polar monomer copolymer because it is excellent in processability, can form a crosslinked structure with a crosslinking agent, and can be a sealing film with high adhesion. preferable. These resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

An ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer, an ionomer in which some or all of the carboxyl groups of the ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer are neutralized with the above metal, an ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer, an ethylene- Ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester copolymers such as ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer, ethylene-isobutyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-n-butyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene -Isobutyl acrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-n-butyl acrylate-methacrylate Representative examples include ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid ester-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers such as acid copolymers and ionomers in which part or all of the carboxyl groups have been neutralized with the above metals. .

  As the ethylene-polar monomer copolymer, it is preferable to use a copolymer having a melt flow rate defined by JIS K7210 of 35 g / 10 min or less, particularly 3 to 6 g / 10 min.

The content of vinyl acetate in the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is preferably 20 to 35% by mass, more preferably 22 to 30% by mass, and particularly preferably 24 to 28% by mass with respect to EVA. The lower the content of EVA vinyl acetate units, the harder the sheet obtained. If the content of vinyl acetate is too low, the resulting sheet may not have sufficient transparency when crosslinked and cured at high temperatures. Further, if the vinyl acetate content is too high, the hardness of the sheet may be insufficient.

  A crosslinking agent, a crosslinking aid, an adhesion improver, and the like can be added to the solar cell sealing film of the present invention as necessary.

[Crosslinking agent]
The crosslinking agent can form a crosslinked structure of the resin material, and is particularly effective when the resin material contains an ethylene-polar monomer copolymer.
