The present invention relates to a solar cell module, and more particularly, omits the busbar doping layer and arranges the busbar electrodes in such a manner as to cross the fingerline electrodes, and the conductive patterns corresponding to the fingerline electrodes and the busbar electrodes. It relates to a solar cell module that can improve the electrical characteristics of the solar cell module by connecting the cell (cell) and the cell (cell) through a back sheet having a.
A solar cell is a key element of photovoltaic power generation that directly converts sunlight into electricity, and is basically a diode composed of a p-n junction. In the process of converting sunlight into electricity by solar cells, when solar light enters into the silicon substrate of the solar cell, electron-hole pairs are generated, and electrons move to n layers and holes move to p layers by the electric field. Thus, photovoltaic power is generated between the pn junctions, and when a load or a system is connected to both ends of the solar cell, current flows to generate power.
On the other hand, a general solar cell has a structure in which a front electrode and a rear electrode are provided on the front and the rear, respectively, and as the front electrode is provided on the front surface, the light receiving area is reduced by the area of the front electrode. In order to solve the problem that the light receiving area is reduced, a back electrode solar cell has been proposed. The back electrode solar cell is characterized by maximizing the light receiving area of the solar cell by providing a (+) electrode and a (-) electrode on the back of the solar cell.

Referring to FIG. 1, a p-type doping layer (p +), which is a region where p-type impurity ions have been implanted, and an n-type doping layer (n +), which is a region where n-type impurity ions are implanted by thermal diffusion, are provided in a rear surface of a silicon substrate. A metal electrode is formed on the p-type doping layer p + and the n-type doping layer n +.
Meanwhile, the p-type doping layer (p +) 110 and the n-type doping layer (n +) 120 are arranged in an interdigitated structure with each other in the form of a comb (see FIG. 2), and busbars are disposed at both ends of the substrate. bar) is provided. The p-type doping layer (p +) 110 and the n-type doping layer (n +) 120 having a comb-tooth shape have a structure connected to the bus
However, the back electrode type solar cell having such a structure has a structure in which carriers collected in the fingerline are transferred to the busbar electrode along the fingerline, and thus the carrier transfer distance is far, and thus the process of transferring from the fingerline to the busbar electrode. Carriers are likely to die at
In order to prevent this, the area of each doping layer p + (n +) and fingerline may be increased, but in this case, the collection efficiency of each doping layer p + (n +) from inside the substrate is deteriorated. . In addition, a method of increasing the area of the busbar doping layer and the busbar electrode may be considered, but in this case, the carrier collection efficiency is reduced as much as the area where the busbar doping layer is provided.
The solar cell module to which the prior art back electrode type solar cell having the structure as described above is applied has the structure as shown in FIG. 3. Referring to FIG. 3, it can be seen that the neighboring
