There is an advantage to that.
Description
The present invention relates to a thin film solar cell module, and more particularly, to a thin film solar cell module and a method of manufacturing an electrode formed on a side (edge) of a glass for thin film solar cell (glass), and a method of interconnecting the thin film solar cell module.
The voltage from one cell, the smallest unit of a solar cell, is about 0.5 V, which is very small and easily affected by the external environment. Modules of solar cells package these cells. That is, the solar cells are connected in series or in parallel according to the required capacitance.
Various methods of manufacturing the solar cell module have been proposed, and a method of manufacturing a thin film solar cell module which is widely used among them will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

The completed solar cell module is sent to the metal electrode through a bus bar when electricity is generated in the solar cell, the junction box provides a structure to collect electricity from the metal electrode.
However, the above-described prior art has the following problems.
First, a process of arranging and fixing ribbons for busbars and junction boxes on photovoltaic films (a-Si, CIGS, CdTe) has been performed by hand at present, which reduces manufacturing hassles and efficiency of manufacturing processes.
In addition, in order to connect the junction box electrodes and the junction box, a process of removing a portion of the protective sheet and the rear sheet was necessary.
In addition, the manufacturing cost could not be reduced because the junction box must be present.
In addition, when the thin film solar cell module manufactured according to the prior art is applied to a building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV), since the wiring must be done through the junction box, the electric wire becomes complicated and it is difficult to apply it directly to the outer wall glass.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above problems, and to manufacture a thin film solar cell module through a simpler and more automated manufacturing process.
Another object of the present invention is to remove the junction box structure in the thin film solar cell module and the process of forming the bus bar arrangement process and the junction box connection hole.
According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, in a state in which a plurality of photovoltaic films are arranged on a glass coated with a transparent electrode (TCO), a predetermined region of the corner at the corner of the glass Printing a conductive paste to form a bus bar electrode; Forming an insulating film around an edge of the solar power film to prevent shunt of the solar power film; Forming a conductive paste to cover the insulating film, and then connecting the bus bar electrode and the solar power film; And laminating a protective sheet and a back sheet on the glass.
According to another feature of the present invention, in a state in which a plurality of photovoltaic films are arranged on a glass coated with a transparent electrode (TCO), around the edge of the photovoltaic film to prevent shunt of the photovoltaic film Forming an insulating film; Forming a bus bar electrode by printing a conductive paste to cover the insulating layer and include a predetermined area of the corner at a corner of the glass; And laminating the protective sheet and the back sheet on the glass.
A busbar electrode may be first formed at an edge of the glass coated with the transparent electrode TCO, and the solar cell may be formed on the glass.
The busbar electrodes of the thin film solar cell module manufactured by the above method may be directly connected to connect a plurality of thin film solar cell modules in series.
According to another feature of the invention, the glass of a predetermined size (Glass); A plurality of transparent electrodes (TCO) coated on the glass; A photovoltaic film formed over the transparent electrode in a band shape, each of which is electrically connected in series; And a bus bar electrode formed while covering the edge region of the glass.
In the present invention, a bus bar electrode is formed in a corner portion including the side surface of the thin film solar cell module by various methods to manufacture the thin film solar cell module.
By doing so, the bus bar arrangement of the conventional manufacturing process and the process of fixing the same can be eliminated, but such a process has been performed by hand, but in the present embodiment, all the processes removed therefrom can be automated to shorten the process. .
In addition, since the present invention only needs to connect a portion where the bus bar electrode of the thin film solar cell module is formed, the junction box is not required and the cost is reduced. Can be omitted.
First of all, the thin film solar cell modules can be easily connected in series because they can be connected in series.
Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a thin film solar cell module, a method for manufacturing the same, and a method for connecting the modules according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As described above, in the present embodiment, busbar electrodes are formed on the sidewalls of the thin film solar cell module, and thus the manufacturing process and configuration thereof are simplified.
