Description
The present invention relates to a solar cell module.
The solar cell module is made in the form of one panel in which battery cells are arranged. Neighboring battery cells must be connected to collect power generated by the battery cells in one place.
A method of connecting the battery cells includes a method of forming a string (hereinafter referred to as a "module row") by connecting neighboring battery cells with a metal ribbon, a method of arranging the battery cells on a sheet on which wiring is formed, There is a way to connect a cell and wiring to create one module row. The adjacent module rows are connected to each other by metal ribbons having a predetermined width, and power is collected in one place.
In the above method, the combination of the module heat and the metal ribbon is made by soldering, a conductive adhesive, and an anisotropic conductive film (ACF).
However, soldering has relatively good conductivity and adhesion, but solder has to be more expensive than lead solder to prevent environmental pollution caused by lead (Pb). In addition, in the case of soldering, a flux is used to prevent oxidation of lead and to improve wettability of lead, and there has been a problem of contamination by residual flux.
The conductive adhesive and the anisotropic conductive film have problems of poor conductivity and durability as compared with soldering and high cost of materials.
The present invention provides a technique for connecting a module row of a solar cell module to a metal ribbon without using additional materials.
The rows of solar cell modules according to an embodiment of the present invention are spaced apart from each other, and each includes a plurality of module rows in which at least one battery cell is electrically connected, a plurality of module rows in which at least one battery cell is electrically connected, And a weld portion for connecting the module row and the metal ribbon, wherein the weld portion is formed by welding a portion where the module row and the metal ribbon are in contact with each other without using a separate material between the module row and the metal ribbon.
The module row may include a wiring board on which the battery cells and the battery cells are arranged and having wiring connected to the battery cells, the metal ribbon is connected to the wiring, Copper or aluminum.
The module rows may include a cell metal ribbon connecting the battery cells and the battery cells arranged therein, the metal ribbon being connected to the cell metal ribbon, and the cell metal ribbon and the metal ribbon being made of copper or copper It can be made of aluminum.
The thickness of the wiring may be between 18 탆 and 100 탆.
Wherein the wiring board includes the wiring and a wiring sheet for supporting the wiring, and the heat shrinkage rate of the wiring sheet can be within 0% to 0.23% in a direction perpendicular to the drawing direction when the sheet is placed at 150 ° C for 15 minutes have.
Wherein the wiring board includes a wiring sheet for supporting the wiring and the wiring, wherein the wiring sheet is made of a material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyimide (PI) And a combination thereof.
Wherein the welded portion includes at least one first welded portion connecting one of the module rows of the metal ribbon and the neighboring module rows and at least one first welded portion connecting at least one of the neighboring module rows, And may include one second fused portion.
The fused portion may be formed by any one of ultrasonic welding, spot welding, seam welding, and laser welding.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, in bonding wires and metal ribbon or metal ribbon to the cell metal ribbon, the parts to be contacted with each other are welded and bonded to each other, so that an adhesive, an anisotropic conductive film , Lead, flux and the like without using any material. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the solar cell module can be reduced because the cost for using the material can be reduced.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, when wiring, metal ribbon, cell metal ribbon, or the like is soldered to a conventional material as in the prior art, it is limited to expensive materials such as copper. However, when ultrasonic welding is performed, aluminum, The metal ribbon can be formed, and the selection range of the material can be widened, and the cost for selecting the material can be reduced.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the wiring and the metal ribbon or the metal ribbon and the cell metal ribbon can be welded together without using soldering. Accordingly, a solar cell module manufactured without using expensive solder can be manufactured at a lower cost. Further, contamination due to the residual flux does not occur, thereby making it easier to manufacture a module having improved reliability characteristics.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a wiring sheet made of any one of the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, polyimide, and combinations thereof has a heat shrinkage of 0.23% or less when placed at 150 ° C for 15 minutes, Lt; / RTI > The heat shrinkage rate of 0.23% is the amount of deformation of 230um at 100mm size. The wiring sheet maintains a proper heat shrinkage ratio, so that the wiring and the battery cell are not misaligned. Accordingly, the solar cell module can maintain a high output.
