Description

Resin composition for sealing solar cell and method for manufacture

The present invention relates to a resin composition for solar cell encapsulation and a method of manufacturing the same having a higher energy conversion efficiency than conventional ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).

The solar cell module is manufactured by connecting several solar cells in series or in parallel to each other to generate voltage and current of appropriate size, and filling materials in a vacuum state to protect the solar cells from the external environment and to increase durability and installability. Or it is produced by laminating a surface material or the like.

The crystalline silicon solar cell module among various solar cell modules is manufactured by connecting a plurality of solar cells with thin conductor wires and compressing them in a vacuum state together with a filler, a glass substrate, and a back sheet. It is common to use EVA resins, but there are various problems.

In the case of EVA sheet, it is difficult to derive cross-linking conditions necessary for durability. As the crosslinking rate increases, the thermal strain rate decreases, the tensile strength increases, and other thermal properties are also improved. However, the thermal strain rate is high because EVA is thermally unstable. In addition, if EVA crosslinking rate is high, crystallization and elongation decrease, and if crosslinking degree is too high, the module is more likely to be damaged by external impact when the surface temperature of the module reaches the maximum, and when the temperature of the module reaches the lowest, Symptoms may appear. Therefore, in the case of EVA sheet, an appropriate crosslinking rate is essential for durability.

On the other hand, in the solar cell module is generally required to maintain a strong adhesion between the encapsulant and the light incident surface and the back of the solar cell in order to improve weather resistance and durability, in the case of an encapsulant including an EVA sheet, the light receiving of the solar cell module In the state, the temperature of the incident surface is higher than the temperature of the rear surface, and the encapsulant expands on the light incident surface side. As such, the balance between the light incidence side and the back side is broken in the solar light receiving state of the solar cell, so that the deformation of the solar cell occurs. As the thickness becomes thinner, the thickness of the solar cell becomes larger. It was difficult. In addition, the EVA sheet is generally weathered by the minute crack phenomenon of the back back sheet, which may eventually cause corrosion of the solar cell surface electrode, and deterioration of a specific cell when the surface electrode exposed to moisture is corroded. This is accelerated and electrical performance is reduced. The EVA sheet may be discolored by photolysis of the peroxide when exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time to reduce the light transmittance of the sunlight reaching the solar cell, and also has a problem that the electrical performance is reduced by reducing the light transmittance.

As described above, the EVA resin has various problems, and in order to increase the solar cell efficiency, most of the studies are conducted on a method of increasing the light transmittance of EVA.

However, as a result of the research of the present inventors, the correlation between the increase in the energy conversion efficiency and the increase in the light transmittance of the EVA sheet was found to be insignificant, and it was found that the energy conversion efficiency was directly changed by the gel content of EVA. . Increasing the gel content of EVA in order to increase energy conversion efficiency can be easily delamination due to the weak adhesive force, and in actual experiments, solar cell efficiency when manufacturing a solar cell module by encapsulation with EVA sheet filler The change in battery cell efficiency was reduced by 15%, indicating a performance of only 85%.

Therefore, the present invention essentially eliminates the problems of the EVA sheet, and in order to improve the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell, a resin composition for encapsulating a solar cell and a preparation of a new type to increase the gel content directly affecting the energy conversion efficiency The method was developed.

The present invention relates to a new solar cell encapsulating resin composition and a method of manufacturing the same having better energy conversion efficiency than conventional ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).

By synthesizing oligomers that can replace the existing EVA sheet and increase the gel content, it is possible to fundamentally solve the problems of the EVA sheet and maximize the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell.

The urethane acrylate polymerization may be prepared by a hydrogen transfer reaction between a diisocyanate and a polyol having active hydrogen and reacted with an isocyanate and hydroxy alkyl acrylate, but is not limited thereto.

The polyol may be selected and used according to the intended use of the final target material, it is not particularly limited, polyester polyol, polyether polyol, polycarbonate polyol, polycaprolactone polyol, polybutadiene polyol, polysulfide polyol And it is preferable to include at least one selected from the group consisting of monomolecular polyols.

As for the said polyol, it is more preferable to use polyester polyol, polyether polyol, polycarbonate polyol, or a mixture thereof, and can also use together monomolecular diol and triol as needed.

The polyester polyol may be synthesized by polycondensing dibasic acid and glycol in the presence of dibutyl dioctoate or tetrabutoxy titanium as a catalyst. As the dibasic acid, one or more selected from adipic acid, succinic acid, phthalic acid, and terephthalic acid may be used, and glycol may be neopentyl glycol (NPG), 1,4-butanediol (1, 4-butane Diol), 1,5-pentane diol, 1,6-hexanediol (1,6-Hexane Diol), and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (1.4-cyclohexanedimethanol) You can use one or more by selecting from the back.

The molecular weight of the polyester polyol is preferably 400 to 8,000, and more preferably 600 to 3,500. If the molecular weight is less than 400, the storage stability is inferior, and if it is 8,000 or more, the storage property and the overall physical properties may be deteriorated.

Meanwhile, the polyether polyol may be a tetrahydrofurane, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, carbonate, carbonate, carprolactone homopolymer, copolymer or graft polymer. It is not particularly limited. The molecular weight of the polyether polyol is preferably 300 to 4,000, and more preferably 600 to 3,000.

It is preferable that it is 10-55 weight part with respect to 100 weight part of total solids as a weight part. When the equivalent ratio is less than 1, it is difficult to introduce amino groups due to the small amount of isocyanate groups present at the end of the urethane prepolymer. When the equivalent ratio is greater than 2, unreacted polyisocyanate remains in the molecule of the urethane prepolymer, so that urea bonds or low molecular weight products are added when water is added. There is a fear that this excessively generated, deterioration of the overall physical properties and deterioration of stability.

As the hydroxy alkyl acrylate, C1-C12 alkyl acrylate may be used. For example, hydroxymethyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, hydroxypropyl acrylate, or hydroxybutyl acrylate may be used, but is not limited thereto.

Polyols generally used in the synthesis of the polyether [polypropylene oxide diol (m.w. = 2,000), polybutadiene diol (m.w. = 3,000)] type has a relatively low Tg and elastic modulus, thereby improving adhesion. The polyester polyol [polyethylene butane adipate m.w. = 1,500] exhibited high elastic modulus and high Tg, and was also affected by reactive diluent monomers.

2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (hydroxy) was used after drying for 7 days in a 4Å molecular sieve (molecular sieve). And polyols such as polybutadiene diol (PBD) [MW = 3,000], polypropylene oxide diol PPG [Mw = 2,000], and the like until bubbles are not generated at 80 ° C. and 0.1 mmHg. After drying it was used.

NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer was synthesized by injecting nitrogen into a three-necked reactor equipped with a stirrer, injecting a diisocyanate, a polyol, and a DBTDL as a catalyst, maintaining the temperature at 70 ° C., and then reacting for 3 hours. 2-HEA was added thereto, reacted at 50 ° C. for about 3 hours, and sufficiently stirred until the NCO group of the reactant disappeared to synthesize a polyurethane prepolymer. The compositions of Preparation Examples 1 to 7 were prepared as shown in Table 1 below.

[Formula 1]

Gel content (%) = (m / m 0 ) × 100

Temperature (℃) Time (min) Process pressure (mmHg) Pumping 110 5 Slow press 110 600 Standard Press 110 50 Fast press 110 50

2) Measuring method of laminating resin gel

In order to determine the degree of crosslinking according to the UV irradiation amount of the prepared sample, the uncured portion of the film cured under THF, 60 ° C. and 24 h conditions was removed, and the weight was measured after drying at 50 ° C. for 24 hours. The gel content of the cured film was obtained through the general formula (1).

Gel content measurement result

Experimental results The gel content of Preparation Examples 1-7 (see Fig. 1) was 95% or more. This showed a difference of more than 15% in gel content compared to 80%, which is a standard proposed by EVA, a filler used in general solar cell modules.

In order to have an appropriate viscosity (50 ~ 300) cps, 50% dilution with an appropriate monomer, but the difference in the gel content appeared as shown in FIG. In order to improve adhesion and elongation, a monomer was added (Examples 1 to 7), but the gel content was 60% or less as a general curing method. In order to fundamentally improve this, it was confirmed that the gel content was improved by manufacturing a specially made airtight container to provide a nitrogen atmosphere and blocking oxygen, which inhibits radical reaction.

Experimental Example  3. Heat resistance test Heat Resistance Test )

Experimental Conditions: The samples of Examples 1-7 were placed in an oven and pre-heated to 80 ° C. This sample was kept at this temperature in the oven for 25 days. The electro-optical properties at the two gaps were evaluated during the test start and during the test.

[Property Specifications-Sandwich Glass Laminate Size: 300mm x 300mm Cold Lamination]

As a result, a negligible difference was observed in the value of the electro-optic properties after the end of the test.

Experimental Example  4. Promoting weather resistance and condensation-freezing test

The solar cell module uses a QUV tester and a cold test, a test device, to check yellowing and delamination, which are essential elements of the filler due to external exposure, and then irradiates heat or strong ultraviolet energy. Aging was observed to observe yellowing and peeling of the film.

The results are as described in Tables 4, 5, and 6 below, and the experimental results of Examples 1 to 7 were found to be the same with almost no errors.

Experimental Example  5. Condensation-Freezing Test

This test is intended to examine the durability of the module when the temperature drops below 0 ° C after high temperature and high humidity. The temperature range was 85 to -40 degreeC. The measurement results are as shown in the cold test results of Table 6 below.

Experimental Example  6. Electrical resistance test Electrical Resistance Test )

Experimental conditions: The samples of Examples 1-7 were placed in an oven and pre-heated to 60 ° C. and supplied with a voltage of 110V. The delamination phenomenon was checked through a 12-day test while maintaining at 60 ° C. for 600 hours. The measurement results are shown in Table 6 below.

Experimental Example  7. water resistance test

In order to test the durability of the product, a 600hr test was conducted at a temperature of 90 ° C and a relative humidity of 99%. The measurement results are shown in Table 6 below.

As a result of the experiment for Examples 1 to 7 it was confirmed that the performance of the filler is superior to the conventional EVA resin used as a filler for solar cells.

Table 6. Experimental Results

Figure 112009054167455-PAT00003

In addition, as a result of measuring the solar cell efficiency, the solar cell module using the EVA filler was found to reduce the efficiency of the silicon solar cell (Fig. 12) by 15% (see Fig. 8).

In Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3, when the gel content is 60% or less, the efficiency was reduced by 25% or more. In Example 1 (see FIG. 13) and Example 2 (see FIG. 14), the gel content was 95% or more. Rather, the experiments showed that the solar cell efficiency slightly increased.

As a result, it can be seen from the experimental results that the direct decrease in solar cell efficiency is due to the influence of the gel content.

Experimental Example  8. Solar cell efficiency measurement

The resin composition was used as a filler to fabricate a solar cell module, and the experiment was conducted through a solar cell efficiency meter. (Measurement of solar cell efficiency based on KS C 0104) The specimens were tested with Examples and Comparative Examples using KEP solar cell silicon.

conclusion

Experiments confirmed that the solar cell efficiency of the silicon cell itself decreased to less than 15% due to the effect of EVA filler in the manufacturing process of the solar cell module. In addition, it was confirmed through experiments that the factors considered to affect the efficiency of the conventional solar cell have a rather small effect on the transmittance, and the gel content acts as an important factor in order to increase the cell efficiency. In order to maximize the efficiency of the silicon battery synthesized a new polyurethane acrylate prepolymer, which is an oligomer that can increase the gel content while replacing the conventional EVA filler. Polyols, such as PPG / PEG / PTMG / PBD, which are involved in the synthesis, are involved in elongation and adhesion, and are almost independent of the gel content.

In addition, in order to increase the degree of crosslinking of the oligomer combination was prepared using a method of manufacturing to seal to remove the oxygen as a curing inhibitory element was able to have a high efficiency solar cell efficiency.
