Description

Solar module storage device {Apparatus for keeping of photovoltaics (solar cell) module}

The present invention relates to a storage device for a solar module, and more particularly, to store a solar module to prevent damage due to deformation or discoloration due to changes in temperature or humidity. It is about.

In general, a lot of research has been conducted in recent years as a solar energy is a clean energy source for producing energy by converting light energy transmitted from the sun to the earth to electrical energy.

The severity of the oil surge in the 70s and the carbon dioxide effects that emerged in the early 90s, the international agreement on the regulation of carbon dioxide emissions to prevent global warming in the late 90s, and the spike in oil prices in the 2000s, such as clean energy such as solar cells It was an important opportunity to convey the necessity of humanity to mankind.

Until now, researches on materials of solar cells include materials of Group IV, such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon, amorphous SiC, amorphous SiN, amorphous SiGe, and amorphous SiSn, or gallium arsenide (GaAs) and aluminum gallium arsenide ( Compound semiconductors of group III-V, such as AlGaAs) and indium phosphorus (InP), and group II-VI, such as Cds, CdTe, and Cu2S, have been studied. In addition, as a study on the structure of a solar cell, a p-n structure including a backside field type, a p-i-n structure, a heterojunction structure, a sortie structure, a multijunction structure including a tandem type or a vertical junction type has been studied.

The characteristics and research and development required for solar cells are in view of the improvement of photoelectric conversion efficiency, manufacturing cost, reduction of energy recovery and large area. Although solar cell using single crystal or polycrystalline silicon has high photoelectric conversion efficiency, There was a problem that the unit price and installation cost is high.

In order to solve this problem, recently, thin-film solar cells in which multilayers of amorphous silicon-based materials on plate glass or metal have been actively researched and developed.

This has the disadvantage that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is relatively low compared to the crystalline silicon solar cell, but can improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency in terms of the material to be deposited and the multi-layer cell structure, and can produce a large-area solar cell module at a low manufacturing cost, This is because the energy recovery training is a short technology and has many advantages. In particular, if the production speed is increased by the enlargement / automation of the deposition equipment, the manufacturing cost of the large-area substrate-type solar cell can be further reduced.

Among the thin-film solar cells, thin-film light-transmitting solar modules used as building exterior materials are manufactured to maintain light transmittance and power generation performance by depositing amorphous thin-film or silicon solar cells on a glass layer. The light-emitting photovoltaic module is insignificant in its output, and thus a desired output is obtained by connecting a plurality of photovoltaic modules in series.

As described above, in a solar cell for connecting a solar module in series to obtain a desired output, a solar module for spare use for replacement of some of the solar modules at fault may be stored separately. In most cases, they were stored for a long time in the atmosphere.

Accordingly, as the solar module is stored in the air for a long time, discoloration and deformation occur due to temperature and humidity changes, and thus, there are many problems in that the solar module is damaged and cannot function properly.

In addition, due to the above problems, it was not possible to store the solar module for the spare use in the site where the solar cell is installed, and had to carry out the repair and repair of the solar module from a separate storage facility, and the work efficiency is good. There was also a problem.
