Description

201017914 VI. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The aspects and advantages of the present invention relate generally to optoelectronic or solar. ..... The apparatus and method of designing and manufacturing, and more particularly, the roll-to-roll or continuous packaging technique for flexible modules using thin film solar cells. ❹ [Prior Art] A solar cell photovoltaic device that converts sunlight directly into electrical power. The most common solar cell material is germanium, which is in the form of a single or polycrystalline wafer. However, the cost of using 太阳能^{solar cells to generate electricity is higher than the cost of generating electricity in these more conventional methods. Therefore, since the early 1970s, efforts have been made to reduce the cost of using solar cells on land. One way to reduce this cost of solar cells is to develop low cost thin film growth techniques that can stack solar cell quality absorber materials over large areas of substrates and use high throughput, cost methods to fabricate such devices. IBIIIAVIA compound semiconductors containing some of the materials or elements of Group 1B (copper, silver, gold), samarium (shed, Ming, recorded indium, snake) and VIA (oxygen, sulfur, code, yttrium, needle) It is an excellent absorber material for thin film solar cell structures. In particular, it is commonly referred to as 201017914 CIGS(S) for the combination of copper, indium, marry, tantalum and sulfur, or Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 or CuInbxGax (SySebyh (where OSySl and k Approx. 2) It has been applied to solar cell structures that can produce conversion efficiencies of up to 20%. Therefore, in summary, it contains: i) Copper of the IB family' ii At least one of Group IIIA indium, gallium, and aluminum, and Η〇νΐΑ • Group of sulfur '砸, and at least one of the compounds listed in the solar cell are of great interest in applications. It should be noted that although the chemical formula φ of CIGS(S) is often written as CuGi^GaXSJe)2' but one of the compounds is corrected; the chemical formula of g| is Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)k ' where k is usually close to 2, But it may not be exactly 2. For simplicity, the k value will be represented by 2. It should be further noted that the symbol "Cu(X, Y)" in the chemical formula means from (χ = 〇% and Υ = 100%) to (χ.= 1〇〇°/. and γ=〇%) All of the X and bismuth chemical compositions. For example, Cu(In, Ga) means all the compositions from Culn to CuGa. Similarly, 'Cu(In,Ga)(S,Se)2 means that the Ga/(Ga+In) molar ratio varies from 〇• to 1 and the Se/(Se+s) molar ratio varies from 〇 to 1 The entire family of compounds. Fig. 1 shows a structure of a conventional IBIIIAVIA compound photovoltaic cell, which is like a Cu(In, Ga, Al) (S, Se, Te) 2 thin tantalum solar cell. A photovoltaic cell 10 is fabricated on a substrate 11 such as a piece of glass, a piece of metal, an insulating box or mesh, or a conductive foil or mesh. An absorber film 12 comprising one of the materials of the family of Cu(In,Ga,Al)(S,Se,Te) 2 is grown on a conductive layer 13 or a contact layer, which is previously in the base 201017914 11 is deposited 'and it acts as the electrical contact to the device. The substrate 11 and the conductive layer 13 form a base portion 20 on which the absorber film 12 is formed. Various conductive layers comprising molybdenum, niobium, tungsten, titanium and their nitrides have been used in the solar cell structure of Figure 1. If the substrate itself is a suitably selected conductive material' it may not be necessary to use the conductive layer 13, since the substrate 11 can then be used as the ohmic contact of the device. After the growth of the absorber film 12, it is like cadmium sulfide (cdS), zinc oxynitride (ZnO), cadmium sulfide/zinc oxide (CdS/ZnO) or cadmium sulfide/oxidized/indium tin oxide (CdS/ZnO). A transparent layer 14 of a stack of /ITO) is formed on the absorber film 12. Radiation 15 enters the device via the transparent layer 14. A metal grid (not shown) may also be deposited over the transparent layer 14 to reduce the effective series resistance of the device. The preferred electrical type of the absorber film 12 is p-type, and the preferred electrical type of the transparent layer 14 is n-type. However, an n-type absorber and a p-type window layer can also be used. The preferred device structure of the first diagram is referred to as a "substrate type" structure. The construction of a "substrate type" structure can also be performed by depositing a transparent conductive layer on a transparent overhead plate (such as a glass or transparent polymerization box) and then depositing the Cu (In, Ga, Al) (S, Se, Te) 2 absorbs the body film and finally forms a ohmic contact to the device with a conductive layer. In this overhead plate structure, light enters the device from the side of the transparent top plate. .. • . . . . There are two different methods for making PV modules. In one of the methods of CdTe, amorphous germanium and CIGS, the solar cell of 201017914 is deposited or formed on an insulating substrate (such as glass), and the substrate can also be used as A rear protective sheet or a front protective sheet is determined according to whether the device is a substrate type or a top plate type. In this case, the solar cells are electrically interconnected when they are deposited on the substrate. In other words, when the solar cells are formed, they are monolithically integrated on the one-piece substrate. These modules are single crystal volume bodies - structures. For the CdTe thin film technology, the overhead glass is also used for the front protective sheet of the single crystal bulk module. In the CIGS technique, the substrate is glass or polyimide, and serves as the rear protective sheet of the single crystal volume mold group. In the single crystal volume module structure, after a solar cell that has been integrated and electrically interconnected on the substrate or the top plate is formed, an encapsulating material is placed on the integrated module structure. A protective sheet is attached to the encapsulating material. An edge seal can also be formed along the edge of the mold to prevent water vapor or liquid from penetrating through the edge into the single crystal volume module structure. In standard 矽 module technology, and for CIGS and amorphous 矽 batteries fabricated on conductive substrates (such as aluminum or stainless steel foil), the solar cells are not deposited or formed on the protective sheet, Separately manufactured, the fabricated solar cells are then interconnected by wire-bonding them or by boarding them to form a solar cell string. In the series or overlay process, the (+) terminal of a battery is typically electrically coupled to the (one) end of the adjacent device. For the IBIIIAVIA family compound sun shown in Figure 1 201017914

A battery, if the substrate u (four) is electrically, such as m, the substrate (which is in contact with the lower side of the battery) constructs the (1) end of the device. The metal grid (not shown) deposited on the transparent layer contacts the top of the device and constructs the (one) end of the cell. In the superimposing process, individual batteries are placed in a staggered manner, so that the lower surface of one of the batteries (ie, the (+) end) constitutes a direct surface to one of the adjacent cells (ie, the (one) end) Physical and electrical contact. Therefore, 'without gaps between the two stacked battery cells' is usually connected by placing the batteries side by side and having a small gap between the batteries, and using a conductive wire or a conductive tape, which is connected to a battery (+) End to the (one) end of a neighboring battery. The solar cell strings obtained by serially or superimposing individual solar cells are interconnected to form a circuit. The circuit can then be packaged in a protective package to form a module. Each module generally includes a plurality of solar cell strings electrically connected to each other. The solar modules are constructed using a variety of packaging materials to mechanically support and protect the solar cells from mechanical damage within the solar cells. The most common packaging technique involves the stacking of circuits in a transparent encapsulating material. Floor. Generally, in a lamination process, the electrically interconnected solar cells are covered by a transparent and flexible encapsulation layer that fills any hollow spaces between the cells and tightly seals them together. Within the module structure, the surface is covered more sturdyly. The various materials can be used as the encapsulating material. For packaging solar cell modules, the material is like ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). A total of 201017914, thermoplastic polyurethane ( Capillary p〇lyurethanes, τρυ), and bismuth resin. However, in general, such encapsulating materials are moisture permeable; therefore, they must be further sealed to the environment by a protective shell that forms the resistance of moisture to penetrate into the module package. The nature of the protective casing determines the amount of water that can enter the package. The protective case includes a front protective sheet and a rear protective sheet, and optionally an edge sealant at the perimeter of the module structure (see, for example, the published application WO/2003/050891 "Seal film PV module"). The upper protective sheet is typically a glass that is water impermeable. The rear protective sheet can be a piece of glass or a polymeric sheet, such as: TEDLAR® (product of DuPont). The post-protective polymeric sheet may or may not have an n-gas barrier layer in its structure: a metal film such as an aluminum film. Light enters the module via the front protective sheet. The edge sealant currently used in the thin cadmium telluride module having a glass/glass structure may be a moisture barrier material in the form of a viscous fluid that can be dispersed by the nozzle to the module The peripheral edge of the structure, or possibly in the form of a band, can be applied to the peripheral edge of the module structure. The edge sealant in the base module is not between the upper and lower protective sheets but in the frame attached to the edge of the module. The moisture apex barrier properties for the edge seal of the 矽-type module are not suitable for the CIGS-type module β which will be discussed later. Flexible CIGS or amorphous 矽 solar cells can be used to construct the flexible module structure. The flexible modules are lightweight and do not break through the 201017914 glass-type solar modules. As a result, the cost of packaging and shipping for flexible modules is greatly reduced. However, the packaging of flexible structures is more challenging. Glass sighs made with glass-type PV modules have been completely developed by many equipment suppliers. The handling of flexible sheets cannot be performed using such standard equipment to "cut the flexible sheets of the layers of the layers built into the flexible structure into the size required for the module" and then These standard module encapsulation procedures can be implemented by processing and moving the pieces around. We need an easier method of manufacturing flexible module manufacturing to increase the reliability of these modules and reduce their manufacturing costs. Some prior art processing methods for the manufacture of flexible amorphous tantalum devices are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,746,618, 4,773,944, 5,131,954, 5,968,287, 5,457,057, and 5,273,608. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The aspects and advantages of the present invention are generally directed to apparatus and methods for the design and manufacture of optoelectronic or solar modules, and more particularly to flexible molds for use with thin film solar cells.

A particular embodiment provides a device comprising: a continuous flexible sheet for manufacturing a flexible solar module, the continuous flexible sheet comprising: a front surface and a rear surface, the front One of the surface and the back surface. The surface includes one to two less moisture barrier regions and a separation region, wherein the separation region surrounds 201017914 around each moisture barrier region and physically separates the adjacent moisture resistance a barrier region; and a moisture barrier layer formed on each of the moisture barrier regions but not on the separation region. In another embodiment, a single crystal volume multi-module power supply is described, the single crystal volume multi-module power supply including a moisture barrier layer covering each of the plurality of sealed chambers On the ceiling, the seals are sealed to two solar cells that hold electrical interconnections. _ In a further embodiment a method of fabricating a photovoltaic module is described. [Embodiment] The preferred embodiments described herein provide a method of fabricating a wound photovoltaic module that uses a thin film IBIIIAVIA compound solar cell. Each of the modules includes a moisture resistant protective casing, and the flexible interconnected solar battery or battery string is packaged and protected in the moisture resistant protective casing. The protective casing comprises a moisture barrier upper protective sheet, and the light can enter the module through the moisture barrier upper protective sheet, and comprises a moisture barrier protective sheet, a supporting material or covering each battery or An encapsulating material of at least one of the front side and the rear side of the battery string? The support material is preferably used to completely encapsulate each solar cell and each string, above and below. In addition, the protective case further comprises a moisture sealant disposed between the upper protective sheet and the lower protective sheet along the periphery of the module, and forming a barrier to prevent moisture from being passed along the edge region The perimeter of the module enters the protection 201017914 from the outside. Unlike the amorphous cut flexible module, the upper protective sheet and the lower protective sheet of the module have less than w g/m 2 /day (preferably less than 5 provinces and 4 grams square) Metric/day) - moisture penetration rate. In addition, a moisture sealant with similar moisture barrier properties.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a continuous manufacturing method to form a continuous package structure comprising a plurality of solar cell modules 1 on an elongated protective sheet base first having a pre-assigned module area The elongated protective sheet is applied to the moisture barrier frame. The moisture barrier frame is a moisture sealant (penetration rate <1 〇 -3 g / m ^ 2 / day or at least 20 years of failure time of moisture passing through the seal), which may be A glue or liquid is applied to the elongated protective sheet. The walls of the moisture barrier frame surround the perimeters of each of the plurality of assigned module regions and form a plurality of apertures, such that the moisture barrier frame and the assigned module regions The wall is defined. The walls of the moisture barrier frame include side walls and distributor walls. The side walls can form the side walls of the plurality of holes. The distributor wall separates the other holes by forming a wall adjacent to each other. A string of solar cells is placed in each of the cavities and supported by a support material that fills one of each of the cavities. The strings in the adjacent holes are not electrically connected to each other. A pair of power output wires or 佟 . . . . . . . . ends from the strings extending through the side walls to the outside. To complete the assembly, a second support material is placed over the strings, and a second 11 201017914 elongated protective sheet is placed over the support material and the moisture barrier frame to surround the plurality of The holes ' thus form the plurality of solar cell modules. After the continuous package structure is completed in a continuous manner, it is stacked to form a continuous multi-module device comprising a plurality of stacked solar cells. The continuous multi-module device can be cut into sections comprising a desired number of stacked solar cell modules that can be used in solar energy generating applications. The stacked solar cell modules in each segment can also be electrically connected by a power output line extending from each solar cell module. If any solar module fails during the application, the faulty portion can be easily removed and the remaining modules can be reconnected to allow the system to continue to operate. This removal may in fact be to remove only the electricity, i.e., by simply separating its (four) transmission line to remove the power of the failed module from the circuit. It is also possible to physically remove the failed module by cutting along the two distributor walls on both sides thereof without adversely affecting the moisture sealing characteristics of the distributor walls. The manufacturing process of one of the modules may be performed by stacking the various components of the modules on a continuous stretch protection sheet provided in a roll-to-roll manner or may be executed on the base of a continuous flexible module. The process, the continuous flexible module base includes a transparent elongated sheet having a moisture barrier layer deposited on a rear surface of one of the transparent elongated protective sheets. The isolating barrier layer segments are physically separated from one another by a separate region (also referred to as a moisture sealing region) that completely surrounds the moisture barrier zone 12 201017914 segment and does not contain any a drag reduction m-type towel, applying a moisture barrier frame on the separation region, and the walls of the moisture barrier frame surround each of the moisture barrier layer segments and forming a plurality of holes , which is defined by the moisture barrier _ material wall and the moisture barrier layer segments. Reference will now be made to the drawings in which the numbers of π - τ main and τ opposite are referenced to the same part. Fig. 2 shows an example of the wall-shaking secrets 4 Φ ❹ This sectional view of the exemplary squat module 1. The second figure is a full-scale _ top view of the same module. The exemplary flexible module 1 is a one-pole simplified module, which only contains three batteries 2a forming a battery string from winter _L ^ 丹偟, 2b and 2c. In fact, I can use more batteries and battery strings in Putian I. The three batteries 2a, 2b, and 2c are bumped, and the wires 3 are interconnected to form the battery string 2AA, and the terminal wire 4 extends T to fit the thin sheet 7 and the lower protective sheet. 8 is formed outside the perimeter. It should be noted that in manufacturing, the wires 4 may be extended outside the module by cutting the continuous package structure along the line Α·Α shown in FIG. 2, and then missing and then present on the line B1 and The material 9a in this region between B2 thus leaves the wires 4 extending to the outside of the perimeter of the module. Or go to ^, φ city, the second wire 4 can be combined in the package, and then only a single wire (Fu Qianshan electric fork (not shown) can be extended to the outside of the module. It is also possible to The line is taken from the rear side, and the rear side is taken out as shown in the example of the terminal line 5. However, it is preferable that the -+ 侄 also passes the terminal wires through the moisture in a male and a sealed manner. Sealant 9. If a 玖嫂: just the right final 穿过 passes through the upper protective sheet 7 5 I under the protective sheet 8 carries out 'the moisture can be passed through to the terminals through 13 201017914 (etc.) The holes enter the module structure. Therefore, it will be necessary to seal the holes to avoid moisture infiltration. The battery string 2AA is covered with an upper support material or encapsulation material 6a and a lower encapsulation material 6b. 6a and the lower encapsulating material 6b are generally the same material, but may also be two different materials that melt together and surround the battery string 2AA above and below. The upper protective sheet 7 is transparent and resistant to moisture penetration. Resistance to moisture permeation. The lower protective sheet 8 and a moisture-tight seal along the edge of the module The encapsulant 9 forms a protective casing 100 which is filled with the battery string 2AA, the upper encapsulating material 6a and the lower encapsulating material 61> It should be noted that such components of the components shown in the drawings The thickness is not a ratio to the actual size. The following portions of the description of the invention include an embodiment that describes how to fabricate a flexible module structure in a continuous manner using continuous manufacturing techniques such as on-line or roll-to-roll procedures ( Such as the flexible module structure as shown in Figures 2A and 26) and the associated extension of the final material through the moisture sealant extending to the outside of the perimeter Sex model

The first figure shows the -step of the program during which a section of the upper surface 202 and the two edges 2〇3 of the upper elongated protective sheet 2A is provided. The width of the elongated protective sheet can generally be in the range of .3 〇 300 Cm. The upper elongate protective sheet forms the front side of the X or the light receiving side of the modules, which will be fabricated using the procedure of the present invention. As shown in the top view of Fig. 3B and the side view of Fig. 3C, in a second process step, a moisture sealant 204 is applied to the rear surface 202 of the upper elongated protective sheet 200A. The moisture sealant 2〇4 surrounds the module space 208 and is preferably deposited along the two edges 203 of the protective sheet 2A and between the module spaces 208. The portion of the moisture© sealant 204 deposited along the edges 2〇3A of the upper extended protective sheet 2A will be referred to as a side sealant 2〇6 or a side wall, and disposed in the modules This portion of the moisture sealant between the spaces 208 or the end of the module spaces will be referred to as the distributor sealant 2〇7 or the distributor wall. The moisture sealant 204 can be in the form of a belt, or it can be a viscous fluid that can be dispersed over the rear surface 202 of the upper elongated protective sheet 2A. The module spaces 2〇8 are in the space that allows the rear surface 2〇2 to be bordered or surrounded by the moisture sealant 204 applied to the rear surface 2〇2. As shown in Fig. 3c, the side walls 206 of the moisture sealant 15 201017914 204 and the distributor walls 207 form a plurality of holes 2 〇 9 on the upper elongated protective sheet 200A. Each of the apertures 2〇9 can be defined by a modular space 2〇8 and the side walls 206 and the distributor wall 207 surrounding the modular space 208. In this aspect, the moisture sealant 204 can form a one-piece continuous frame including the side walls and the distributor walls, which are based on the shape of the desired solar cell module. Size to shape and size. When the frame is applied to the rear surface 202 of the upper elongated protective sheet 2A, the holes 209 are formed as shown in the top view in FIG. 3D and the side view in FIG. 3E. After the moisture sealant 204 is disposed, the support material layer 21 or the encapsulating material is placed on each of the module spaces 2〇8 in the holes 209, and then the solar cell strings 212 are oriented in the front direction. The lower method is placed on the support material 210. In each string 212, a light receiving side 215 of each solar cell 213 is facing the elongated upper protective sheet 200. The electrical pin 214 or terminal of the module is preferably passed along the pull Long protection. Sheet 20.0 .. The same - long edge. To: less: a side wall 206 of the moisture sealant 204 is carried out from the hole 209, in one way 'the wet The gas sealant 204 also seals around the electrical leads 21 4 . The solar cell string 212, as shown in the figures, includes electrically interconnected solar cells 213. However, the strings 2.12 in each of the apertures 209 are: not electrically interconnected with each other 'i.e., in a hole'. There is no electrical connection between the battery and the kite battery in an adjacent aperture. However, there may be 16 201017914 such as the interconnection described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/86,962, the patent name of which is: "Optical Module with Improved Reliability", filed on August 11, 2008 One of the modules may include two or more sealing intervals (eg, such holes 2〇9), each of which contains a string of solar cells, as shown in the side view of FIG. 3F, In the following step, the rear side 215B or the base of the solar cells 213 is covered with another layer of support material 210. A rear elongated protective sheet 200B is placed on the moisture sealant 204 and the support material 21A to complete the components of the continuous package structure 3 of the plurality of solar battery module structures 3〇2. combination. As shown in the 4A circle, the continuous package structure 3 is processed in a layering machine, such as a roller laminating machine with a roller 45 , to convert it into a plurality of solar battery modules. A continuous multi-mode assembly of 3〇2A is placed in 3〇〇A. During the lamination process, the support material 210 in each of the module structures 3〇2 is melted and adhered to the solar cell strings 212 and the upper and rear elongated protective sheets 2〇〇6 and 2〇〇 On. The moisture sealant 204 also melts and adheres to the upper and rear elongated protective sheets 200A- and 200B. The top view of Fig. 4B shows the continuous multi-module device 300A having the solar cell modules 3〇2a after the continuous package structure 3 is processed in the laminator. It should be noted that in this performance procedure, the support material that is not included in the cross-linking process is better than the cross-linked support material, such as: EVA. The preferred support materials include tantalum resins and thermoplastic materials having a melting temperature in the range of 90-15 (TC). The moisture sealant 204 can also be a thermoplastic, which can be easily rolled in one roll. Melting in a laminating machine, in which pressure and heat can be applied in the mold's structure under vacuum or non-vacuum. It should be noted that the sealing material section 204 can be divided into liquid forms, or in the form of a sticky tape. And adhering to the rear surface 202 of the upper elongated protective sheet 2A. If liquid enamel resin is used as the supporting material 210, the resin can be dispersed on each module area, and the area is The rear surface 2〇2 and the hole 209 formed by the sealing material 2〇4 are defined. Therefore, the rear surface 2〇2 and the sealing material 2〇4 act as a container to contain the liquid silicone resin supporting material. 21 (^ can partially cure the battery string before placing it on the resin support material 21〇 (see FIGS. 3D and 3E), so the battery string does not Φ sink into the liquid and touch Suffering from the rear surface of the upper elongated protective sheet 2 202. For a flexible cI (JS solar cell battery string) fabricated on a stainless steel substrate, it is difficult to keep all of the cells in the string lying on the upper surface of the semi-curable resin layer. 1 Therefore, a sequence of magnets can be used under the upper elongated protective sheet 2A. The magnets pull the battery string to the upper elongated protective sheet 2A and are opposite to the magnetic The semi-cured front support material for CIGS solar cells made on a steel box (such as a size 43 stainless steel) is kept flat. After placing the magnets in the proper position, the rear Supporting material may be dispersed over the battery strings to cover the back side of the batteries i may heat the resin to partially or fully cure the magnets while they are still in place. The battery may be trapped between two layers of the partially or fully cured resin layer. Then, the magnets may be removed, 'the rear elongated protective sheet 200B may be placed on the moisture sealant 2〇4' and the The completion of the formation of the support material 210 includes a plurality of Group structure • A continuous package structure 300. Partially cured dream resin can be achieved in a temperature range of 60·1〇〇χ: ❹ Refer to Figure 4A again, in order to eliminate air trapping in the modules. The dispenser sealant 207 between the structures 302 can have a small cut or hole, so that when the continuous package structure 3 turns any air into a particular module structure 302, it can be converted into the ^ During the module between the cylinders 450, the uncured dispenser sealant between the two module structures penetrates into the next module structure. Since the next module has not been laminated, Go to Yawei to seal it, and the dispenser sealant 207, which is released from the air system and has a cutting hole and a hole, melts and fills the cut mm. To avoid air trapping, a vacuum can be obtained. The environmental median value is performed at the level of millitor (mUli_T〇rr). Such vacuum enthalpy can be obtained by establishing separate pump chambers through which the cultivating chamber 300 reaches the execution of the rolling stacking process, for example: the continuation The package junction 19 201017914 can enter into the - chamber via a narrow crack, then enter and exit some of the chamber through the narrow crack before reaching the mill stack chamber, and then go through several other systems before leaving the system through the last chamber. room. Therefore, the pressure can be changed from the pressure in the first and last chambers to the large test (76. Thor) to the extremely low value (such as ι(9) millibars) in the #层室.

Figure 4B shows a top view of the continuous multimode assembly 3A after the rolling stacking process, wherein the light receiving side of the solar cells 213 is oriented toward the plane of the paper. The continuous multi-module device 300A can be rolled into a receive-receive roll (not shown) where the electrical pins 214 or terminals of each of the multi-module devices are from the receiving roll The side is extended. These terminals do not interfere with the rolling procedure. The volume can be sent to the field for further processing or installation. FIG. 4B shows that the continuous multi-module device fan Αβ obtained after the # layer and the sealing process is sealed in each of the multi-module devices 302α to prevent moisture from penetrating into the encapsulation from the external environment. The modular structure at the solar cell string 212 is generally versatile as described above. Once the continuous multi-module device is formed, the device can be used in various ways. In one method, the continuous multi-module package device is cut into individual modules 302 along the dashed lines to create a complete separation. And the sealed individual modules 'where the dashed lines "A" are in the distributor walls as shown in Figure 4. The electrical pins 2丨4 of each module 3 02 A are on the side and are not affected or cut by the program. The integrity of the moisture sealant 2〇4 is along each module. Any part of the perimeter is unaffected. While maintaining the integrity of the moisture sealant 2〇4, the side strap output pin 2 14 at at least one of the two long edges 203 along the continuous multi-module device 302A is also Maximize the active area of each module. In another method, the continuous multi-module device can be used to form a single crystal volume multi-module power supply comprising one or more electrically interconnected modules on a common, uncut substrate or overhead plate As described below, the description will be more fully described. In the side view of FIG. 5, a different module 302A is shown which is cut by the continuous multi-module device 300A of FIG. 4B by using the program of the present invention by using each of the modules 3〇2A. Made separately. The solar cell string 212 is coated with the support material 210 and disposed between an upper protective sheet 303A and a lower protective sheet 303B. The upper protective sheet 303A and the lower protective sheet 3〇3B are portions of the upper and lower elongated protective sheets 200A and 200B. The moisture sealant 204 extends between the protective sheets 303A and 303B and seals the perimeter of the module. As described, each solar cell 213 includes the front portion 215A or the light receiving portion and the rear portion. 215B or base. It should be understood that during operation, sunlight enters the module via the upper protective sheet 303A and passes through the support material 210 to the front portion 215A of the solar cells. The base 215B includes a substrate and a contact layer formed on the substrate. A preferred substrate material can be a metallic material such as stainless steel, inscription or the like. An exemplary contact layer material can be molybdenum. The front portion 21 5A of the solar cells 21 201017914 may include an absorber layer 305, such as a CIGS absorber layer formed on the contact layer, and a transparent layer 306 formed on the absorber layer, such as a buffer. Layer/zinc oxide (ZnO) stack. An exemplary buffer layer can be a (Cd, Zn) S layer. Conductive fingers 308 can be formed over the transparent layer. A conductive pin 310 electrically connects the substrate or the contact layer of one of the solar cells to the transparent layer of the next solar cell. However, such solar cells can be interconnected using any other method known in the art, such as: a superstrate. The front protective sheet 200A can be a transparent flexible polymeric film such as: TEFZEL®, or another polymeric film. The front protective sheet 200A comprises a transparent moisture barrier coating which may comprise a transparent inorganic material such as alumina, aluminum niobate, niobate, nitride or the like. Examples of such coatings can be found in the literature (see, for example, L. Olsen et al., "CIGSS and Barrier Coatings for CIGSS and CdTe ❿ cells", Thirty-first The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Optoelectronics Expert Seminar, p. 327, 2005). TEDLAR® and TEFZEL® are the brand names of fluoropolymer materials from DuPont. TEDLAR® is a polyvinyl fluoride ‘PVF’ and TEFZEL®{tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) fluoropolymer. The rear protective sheet 200B may be a polymeric sheet of TEDLAR® or another polymeric material that may be transparent or opaque. The rear protective sheet may comprise a stack 22 201017914 like: a laminate as a moisture barrier comprising various material compositions of a metal film (for example: as previously described)

φ rated power. All solar cells and strings are interconnected to make. The single crystal volume multi-module power # should be constructed under the lightweight and flexible structure of the present invention, which has a rated power of 600 W and a rated power higher than or equal to more than 1 〇〇〇w" A flexible and lightweight power generator with a wide range of rated power ratings on the substrate enables new applications in the field of large-scale solar power. It should be noted that the use of the teachings of the present invention enables the construction of a single kW rated (e.g., 2000-5000 W) single module having a moisture barrier frame around its perimeter. A form of moisture is also used as a sealant (see, for example, Figure _ 2A). However, a single-cell volume multi-module power supply with many individual modules and each individual module having its own moisture impermeable or moisture resistant structure has many advantages. One advantage in such multi-module devices is better reliability. If any of the upper protective sheet, the lower protective sheet or the side sealant at the position of the module fails, any moisture enters any of the single crystal volume Sexual Multi-Module Power 23 201017914 Among these individual modules, the moisture will not travel through other modules due to the presence of the dispenser sealant or distributor wall. Therefore, the remaining single-crystal volume multi-module power supply will continue to generate power. This is a detailed improvement in the US Patent Application Serial No. 12/189,627. Discussion, which was filed on August 11, 2008, the patent name is: "Photovoltaic module with improved reliability". Another advantage is the flexibility of the application provided by the above described manufacturing method. As discussed earlier,

The continuous multi-module device 3A shown in Figure 4B is cut into a single module structure for applications requiring low wattage (1 〇〇 _6 〇〇 %). For large roof applications, the continuous multi-module device can be cut to include 5 to 1 module, thus providing a single crystal volume rated at one of, for example, 500 to 2 watts. Multi-module power supply. For the field of extreme power applications, a single-crystal volume multi-module power supply that can provide a rated power of 1000 to 20,000 watts or more. The point is that all such products can be manufactured in the same manufacturing line by only changing the cutting steps. This manufacture can be achieved by the presence of a dispenser sealant between the individual modules. If the dispenser sealant is not present, the long and continuous module structure cannot be cut into smaller units and the same length and continuous module structure cannot be used because the moisture entering the person through the cutting edges will limit the fairy The life of a cutting module or multi-module structure is much less than 2〇I. For example, a C-Caf module that does not contain an appropriate side sealant will only have a life span of several years before it loses its rated power rating. 24 201017914 Certain advantages of the present invention may be demonstrated by an exemplary continuous multi-module device 500 illustrated in Figure 6A, which may be fabricated using the procedures of the present invention described above. As shown in Fig. 6A, the multi-module device including the solar cell modules 502A-502J can be part of a longer continuous structure. Each module includes a solar cell string 512 having interconnected solar cells 513 and the light receiving side of the solar cells 213 facing the paper plane. Electrical pin Η* or 来自 from each module

The output wire of the side of the 500 is placed on the continuous multi-mode assembly of the edge, as shown in Figure 6A. The modules are separated from each other by a distributor wall 503 of the moisture sealant. As shown in FIG. 6B, when one of the exemplary segments 504 including the modules 5〇2A to 5〇2e is separated from the continuous multi-module device 5〇〇 described above, the output wires 514 are interconnected to A combined power output from the modules 502A through 502E of the segment 5〇4 is provided. For example, if the rated power of each module is ioow, and if the cutting section includes one interconnected module, the obtained single crystal volume multi-module power supply system is a continuous, one-piece iooow Supply. If the cutting section contains 2 模 modules, a 2000 W power supply will be obtained. As shown in FIG. 6B, the interconnection between the modules of the single-crystal volume multi-module power supply can be a series interconnection, wherein the (+) end of each module is connected to a neighbor Modular, and (-) & It should be noted that the individual modules in the single crystal multi-module power supply can also be interconnected in parallel mode. 201017914 The single crystal multi-module power supply design of Figure 6B provides the advantages of deployment in this field. One advantage is the simplicity of installing a flexible, single-piece, 咼 power supply in the field. Eliminating the handling of many individual modules and eliminating many of the individual mounting structures are some of these advantages. Another advantage is that it is easy to remove a failure mode group in the multi-module power supply of the single crystal volume. This is because the internal module interconnect terminals are on the outside and are available. For example, in the section 504, if the module 502 fails (here, the translation is changed to "fault" in accordance with the translation of the malfuction described above), the entire section 504 is not discarded, and the The wires take the module 502B out of the circuit, and the remaining modules 5〇2A, 5〇2c, 502D, and 502E will remain interconnected, and thus continue to provide full power. The system components can also be bypassed. Diodes and other balancers are connected to the terminals of the single-crystal volume multi-module power supply, although the battery strings shown in each module are shown in Figures 6A and 6B. The long edge of the single crystal volume multi-module power supply is parallel, and the battery strings can actually be placed in the module structure in different directions. For example, by multiplying the battery string perpendicular to the single crystal volume body The long edge of the group power supply is placed to 'we can reduce the length of each module relative to the width of each module (which is defined by the distance between the dispenser sealants or the walls). Therefore, it will be used to interconnect such Minimizing the length of such wires adjacent to the module to save on such Cost and power loss in interconnected wires and other hardware i 26 201017914 Figure 7 shows a roll-to-roll system 4 to manufacture the continuous multi-module device 3A shown in Figures 3A-4B The system 4 includes a processing station 402' which includes processing units 4〇4A_4〇4F to perform the above-described operation when the upper protective layer 2A is supplied from the supply roll 405A and is advanced through the processing station 402. After the processing of the continuous package structure 300 in the stacking unit, the continuous package structure 3 is picked up and wound around the receiving roll 405B. In the following step, the ® receiving roll 4 is The 〇5B is placed in a cutting station to cut the continuous package structure 300A. The stacked continuous structure 300 can be directly pushed into a cutting station and cut into individual modules or cuts in an alternative system that does not use the receiving roll. Multi-module power supply into a single crystal volume. Hereinafter, a specific group of one continuous multi-module device of each of the electric pins or terminals of each of the chess pieces extending from one side of the continuous multi-module device State will be called a first configuration As will be more fully described below, a second & two specific configuration will be referenced to the electrical pins extending from either side of a continuous multi-module device or a single-crystal volume multi-module power supply. It will be more fully described that the number and relative distribution of the solar cells in each module can help to predetermine whether the manufacturing of the single crystal volume multimode power supply can have the first configuration or Second configuration. In the first configuration, the positive and negative pins of each module are located on the same side of the multi-module power supply of the single-crystal volume, so that one of the modules A positive electrical pin is preferably placed next to a negative power pin of a group of adjacent modules 27 201017914 such that it can be connected in series using a short cable to increase its individual voltage. If a positive electric bow of one of the modules is placed beside a positive electrical pin of one of the adjacent modules, or a negative electrical lead of one of the modulars is placed in a proximity mode One of the groups is next to the negative electricity chat, and the modules can be easily interconnected in parallel to increase their individual currents. In the second configuration, the positive or negative pins of each module are located on the opposite sides of the multi-module power supply, such that one of the modules has a positive electrical pin The good system is placed next to one of the negative terminals of the module, so it can be easily connected using a short cable. It should be noted that when associated with a pin or terminal, the pins actually pass through a junction box that can be at the edge of the module structure, behind the module (10) structure near the edge, or near The edge is in front of the module structure. The invention described below provides a method of fabricating a single crystal volume multi-module power supply that has the first or second set of electrical pins associated with the distribution of the solar cells in each module state. Accordingly, the single crystal volume multi-module power supply shown in the top views of the & graph to the eleventh graph includes solar cells whose light receiving sides are oriented toward the plane of the paper. The solar cells in each module are woven into at least one column comprising at least two solar cells. In the following description, the solar cells marked with the letters A, B, c, and the like are listed as a red matrix. Further, the modules with even columns (for example: columns A and B' or A, B, 〇, and D) have the 28 201017914 configuration of the electrical pins, that is, since ~~~丨. that is, the electric pin extending from the side, and the odd column

The second dry state of the modules (for example, column A%) A 歹 A, or columns A, B, and c, that is, from the single crystal...), there is a weekday hoard The electrical pins extending on both sides of the multi-module power supply. The power supply of the single crystal ship W module, which is not shown in Figs. 8 to u, can be manufactured using the principles of the above-described roll stacking procedure. ❹ Figure 8 illustrates a single 早 volumetric multi-module power supply 600 with an electrical pole with this first configuration. In FIG. 8, the single crystal volume multi-module power supply having a first side 6 0 i A and a second side 6 〇t B includes a plurality of modes having solar cells 603 organized in even columns. Group 602, in this example, each module includes two columns in which the solar cells in the first column are annotated with A, and

The solar cells in the first column are marked with B. Each of the groups 6〇2 has an edge sealing portion 6〇6 and a dispenser sealing portion 6〇8, and an upper elongated protective sheet (not shown) and a lower elongated protective sheet 6〇9 are wet. The barrier sealing frame 6〇4 surrounds. In each module 6〇2, the solar cells 603 are surrounded by a support material 610 or encapsulating material. Interconnecting the solar cells 6〇3 in each module and a first electrical pin 614A or a positive pin and a second electrical pin 614B or a negative pin have the first configuration, so The edge seal portions 606 on the first side 601A of the single-crystal volume multi-module power supply 600 extend to the outside of the modules 602. As mentioned above, due to every 29 201017914

The solar cells 6〇3 of a module 6〇2 are organized in two columns, namely: Lennon and Β 'the electric pins 61 4Α and 61 4Β are on the same side, ie: the first Side 601A. As shown in FIG. 8 'When the number of columns is even, the first and second electrical pins 614A in each module are electrically connected due to the arrangement of the solar cells in an even column. And 6i4B

Φ

The end is on the same side so that the polarity of the electrical pins is alternately placed along the side of the single crystal volume multi-module power supply 600. Thus, the first electrical pin 614A in one of the modules can be easily connected to the second electrical pin 614B on the same side of the module, as shown in the figure. . However, if the number of columns in each module is an odd number, the positive and negative pins will be placed on the opposite sides of a single crystal multi-module power supply. Figure 9 illustrates a single crystal volume multi-module power supply having an electrical configuration of the second configuration of a solar cell configured with odd columns. In FIG. 9, the continuous multi-module power supply having a first side 7〇1A and a second side β includes each of the solar cells 6〇3 having a single column labeled as A. The mold 702 is surrounded by a moisture barrier sealing frame 704' having an edge seal portion 7 into the knife seal portion 7, and an upper elongated protective sheet (shown) and a lower elongated protective sheet 709. In each H 7 (the solar cell 6〇3 series with a supporting coffin 枓71〇 to surround the solar ray battery 603 that will be in each module 702 is organized in a column of ^ 30 201017914 Medium, that is, column A, and a first electrical pin 714A or a positive pin and a second electrical pin 714B or a negative pin are disposed on the first side 701A and the second side 701 in an alternating manner. The solar cells 603 are interconnected in each module, and the first and second electrical pins 714A and 714B of opposite polarity are passed through the continuous multi-module power supply 700. The equilateral edge sealing portion 706 on the first side 701A and the second side 701B extends to the outside of the module 703. Therefore, a first electric device can be used in one of the modules 703 The pin 7UA is easily connected to a second electrical pin 714b in the subsequent module, as shown in the figure, it should be noted that the terminal T1 in the figure 8 to the figure π of the drawings, Τ2, Τ'3' and Τ'4 refer to the terminals of the single-crystal volume multi-module power supply. _ Figure 10 illustrates a single crystal spur multi-module power 800, which has the first configuration of the solar pump with the even-numbered solar cells. In the first diagram, the continuous multi-module function has a first side 801Α and a second side 801Β The specialty supply 800 includes a module 802 having solar cells 603 organized in a single column, each of which is sealed with a moisture barrier that has an edge seal portion 8〇6 and a dispenser seal portion. The frame 8〇4, and an upper elongated protective sheet (not shown) are surrounded by a lower elongated protective sheet 8〇9. In each module 8〇2, the solar cells 603 are supported by a supporting material. 81. The solar cells 6〇3 in each module 8〇2 are identified as four 31 201017914 columns, ie, columns A, B, C, and D, and a first electrical pin 814 An eight or positive pin and a second electrical pin 814B or a negative pin are tied to the first side 801A. The solar cells 6〇3 in each module are interconnected and have a relative polarity The first and second electrical leads 814A and 814B are passed through the first side 801A of the single-crystal volume multi-module power supply 800 The edge seal portion 8〇6 extends to the outside of the modules 8〇3 r. Therefore, a first electrical pin 814A in one of the modules 803 can be easily connected to the rear. A second electrical pin 814B of the module. In this embodiment, there may be additional electrical pins from the modules to accommodate other devices such as a bypass diode. Figure 10 shows the legend. The additional electrical pins 8丨6 A and 8丨6B. The connecting devices 818A and/or 818B connectable to the additional electrical pins may be bypass diodes and/or cables 'available A series of solar cells that may have been degraded are taken out from the electric circuit of the entire single-crystal volume multi-module work shore. For example, if the connecting device 818A is a short cable, the use of such short sneak can cause the modules to operate if the solar cells of columns A and B fail. Since the solar cells of columns A and B are short-circuited by a cable in this example, the remaining cells in columns c and D will continue to function properly. Figure u illustrates a single crystal volume multimode and power supply 900&apos; having an electrical pin of the second configuration of a solar cell configured with odd columns. In FIG. U, the single-crystal volume multi-module power supply having a first side 90iA and a second side 901B is 〇〇32 201017914 including five having the annotations A, B, C, 〇, and E A module 902 of solar cells 603 is organized. Each module 902 is provided with a moisture barrier sealing frame 904 having an edge sealing portion 906 and a dispenser sealing portion 9A, and an upper elongated protective sheet (not shown) and a lower elongated protective sheet 909. Come around. In each module 9〇2, the solar cells 603 are surrounded by a support material 91 〇. Figures 8 through 11 show the flexibility of the design of the present invention, which can have many other configurations of solar cells. As described above, the manufacture of a single crystal volume multi-module power supply comprising a plurality of individual modules each having its own moisture impermeable or moisture resistant structure has many advantages. One advantage is the better reliability in these multimode assemblies. If the moisture is admitted to any of the individual modules of the single-crystal volume flexible multi-module power supply due to a failure of the upper protective sheet, the lower protective sheet or the side sealant at the position of the module In φ', because of the presence of the distributor sealant or the distributor wall, the moisture will not travel through other modules, and it should be noted that this concept has a 9-seal section in a modular structure and can even be extended. A solar cell or a portion of a solar cell in a module can be sealed separately against moisture. Therefore, in another embodiment, the protective case of the module includes upper and lower protective sheets, and an edge sealant to seal the edges of the protective sheets at the perimeter, and one or more dispenses The sealant separates the interior volume or space of the protective casing into sections, and each section 33 201017914 includes at least a portion of a solar cell and an encapsulating material that encapsulates the front and back surfaces of the portion. The edge and dispenser sealant are disposed between the upper and lower protective sheets. In this segmented module configuration, any local defects passing through the protective casing will affect the solar cell or solar cell portion within a particular segment that can be in contact with the defect and will not affect The solar cell or solar cell portion of the other sections separated from the particular section by the dispenser sealant. Thus, such solar cells or solar cell portions in such segments that are not affected by the defect will continue to function and generate power. Figure 12A shows a top or front view of a module 950. Figure 12B shows a cross-sectional view along the line F1 to F2. It should be noted that this module 95 can be used to manufacture this precise design of one of the modules. Rather, it is used for purposes of illustration and description, and is illustrated as illustrative or representative of various aspects of the invention in the form of a single module. The exemplary module 950 includes twelve solar cells, which are identified by 951A, 951B, 951C, 951D, 951E, 951F' 951G, 951H, 9511, 951J, 951K', and 951L. even. These interconnections are not shown in this figure to simplify the drawing. In Fig. 3, there is a gap between the solar cells. However, as explained before, it is also possible to cover the solar cells so that there may be no gaps between the solar cells. The battery can also have different shapes. For example, the dimension can be lengthened to be larger than another dimension by 2 to 1 times. The mold ...... has a top protective sheet 962 and a lower protective sheet 964' and the upper protective sheet. An edge sealant 952 between the 962 and the lower protective sheet 964. The edge sealant 952 is placed at the edge of the module structure and in this case is rectangular in shape. For other module structures having different shapes, the edge sealant may have a different shape. Follow this • around the different shape modules. The upper protective sheet 962, the lower protective sheet '964' and the edge sealant 952 form a protective case. The module 95 further includes a dispenser sealant 953 that is formed within the protective casing, i.e., within the volume or space established by the upper protective sheet 962, the lower protective sheet 964, and the edge sealant 952 Forming the dispenser sealant 953 forms a sealant pattern 954 that distributes the protective shell into a sealed section 955. There are fifteen segments 955 in the exemplary module of Figure 3. Some of the sections 955 in the intermediate region of the module 950 are only joined by the dispenser sealant 953. On the other hand, the section adjacent to the edge of the module 950 is bordered by a portion of the dispenser sealant 953 and the edge sealant 952. As can be seen from Figure 3, each segment can comprise a solar cell, a portion of a solar cell, or more than one solar cell or more than one solar cell. For example, the segments labeled 9 5 5 A and 95 5 B each contain a different portion of the solar cell 95 i A , however the segment labeled 955C contains the single solar cell 951b. On the other hand, the section labeled 955D contains the solar cells 951H and 201017914 951L, and a portion of the solar cell 951K. The sealant pattern 954 of the dispenser sealant 953 can be shaped in a variety of ways, such as rectangular, curved, circular, and the like. Portions of the distributor sealant 953 can be placed in the gap between the solar cells, on the solar cells, and even under the solar cells. If the dispenser sealant 953 or a portion thereof is placed on the solar cells, it is preferably associated with the bus bars of the solar cells (not shown in the figure to simplify the drawing) Alignment, thus avoiding any possible additional shielding of the cells due to the dispenser sealant 953. As shown in Figures 12 and 12, the portions of the dispenser sealant can be placed on the dispenser sealant space 960 on the solar cells. The dispenser encapsulant spaces 96 are assigned to locations on the front or rear surface of the solar cells. The dispenser sealant spaces 960 do not contain any support material so that the dispenser sealant can be attached to the front or back side of the solar cell. It should be noted that the bus bars on the solar cells have been shielded directly underneath the battery sections' so placing the dispenser sealant 953 over the busbars will not result in additional area in the cells. loss. As seen in the cross-sectional view of the module 950 in FIG. 2, a portion of the sealant pattern 954 is placed over the solar cell 95u. Another sealant portion 953B can also be under the solar cell 951J. In other words, a lower sealant pattern can be placed under the solar cells 36 201017914 (not shown). The lower sealant pattern may or may not conform to the shape of the sealant pattern 954 "the solar cell capsules in the module 95" are enclosed in an encapsulating material 966 surrounding and supporting the solar cells. After this general description of a typical modular structure using one of the various teachings of the present invention, a more simplified modular structure will now be described to explain its unique features* and advantages. * As shown in the above connection diagrams 3A to 3F, during the roll-to-roll or continuous or step-by-step manufacturing of the power supply φ or module structure, a roll-to-roll module can be firstly or continuously implemented in a continuous or step-wise manner. One of the manufacturing system supply rolls provides an elongated upper protective sheet and travels through a number of program stations that add other components of the modules to the elongated protective sheet to form a continuous package structure or a continuous multi-module device For example, it can then be rolled onto a receiving shaft to form a roll. As will be more fully described below, 'in other embodiments, a continuous flexible module base comprising one of the permeable stretch panels and the moisture barrier layer deposited on the transparent elongated sheet is used for manufacturing. On a front side of at least two solar cell modules. For the formation of the flexible module base, the rear surface of one of the transparent elongated sheets can be formed into two wet barrier layer sections. Without the moisture barrier _ layer - the separation zone physically separates the moisture barrier segments from each other and completely surrounds them. Further in the program, a moisture barrier frame surrounding each of the portions of the moisture barrier layer will be positioned on the separation region. During the roll-to-roll process, the base of the track flexible module is provided by a continuous or step-by-step method from a roll of a supply roll of one of the 37 201017914 volume module manufacturing systems, and travels through some program stations. An embodiment of the elongated protective sheet incorporating other components of the modules to form a continuous package structure or continuous multi-module device can then be rolled onto a receiving shaft to form a roll. A procedure for fabricating another embodiment of a continuous package structure 250 will be described using the exploded view of the continuous package or module structure 250 shown in Figures 13A and 13B. It should be noted that the solar cell interconnections and wire and termination details of the module structure are not shown in this figure to simplify the drawing. First, a section of the upper elongate protective sheet 251 having a rear surface 251A and two edges 252 is provided as shown in Fig. 13A. The upper elongate protective sheet 251 forms the front side or the light receiving side of the modules to be manufactured using the procedures of the present invention and is therefore transparent. In a second process step, a moisture barrier 253 is deposited on the ® rear surface 251A of the upper elongated protective sheet 251. The moisture barrier layer 253 includes a moisture barrier layer portion 253A or section&apos; and it only covers the module space 258. In other words, the moisture barrier layer 253 is deposited and formed only at such predetermined positions as the module space 258 on the rear surface 251A of the upper elongated protective sheet 251. - Figure 13B shows the module spaces 258 in dashed rectangles, which are formed in accordance with the internal dimensions of the future modules on the rear surface 25 1A of the upper elongate protective sheet 251 as described herein. The upper elongated protective sheet 38 201017914 251 including the moisture barrier layer portion 253A and the moisture barrier layer 253 form a continuous flexible module base 250A. First, in an embodiment, the continuous flexible module base 25A is provided in the first step of the roll-to-roll process. Next, a moisture sealant 254 is applied to the rear surface 251A of the upper elongated protective sheet 251. The moisture sealant 254 contacts a moisture sealant region 254A (also referred to as a separation region) on the back surface 251A where it establishes a good mechanical engagement with the back surface 251A. Figure 13B shows the moisture sealant region 254A surrounding the module space 258 or the separation region. When the moisture sealant 254 is deposited on the moisture sealant region 254A, it surrounds the moisture barrier layer portions 2 5 3 A ' on the module spaces 258 and is preferably tied The two edges 252 of the protective sheet 251 are deposited between the moisture barrier portions 253A on the module spaces 258. The portion of the moisture sealant 254 deposited along the edges 252 of the upper extended protective sheet 251 forms a side® sealant 256 or sidewall and the moisture sealant disposed between the module spaces 258 This portion 'or the end of the module space forms a dispenser sealant 257 or distributor wall. It should be noted that the cloth of the wet ring sealant 2 5 4 on the partition region 254A (which does not have a moisture barrier layer) ensures the moisture on the partition region .2 5 4 A Sealant 2 5 4' and: good mechanical engagement between the back surface 25 1A. Such mechanical engagement is necessary to effect the moisture sealant. The moisture sealant placed on the moisture barrier layer generally does not form a good mechanical bond' and the moisture can diffuse rapidly through the interface of such a weak 39 201017914, even though the moisture sealant itself may be a good one. Moisture barrier. As described above, the moisture sealant 254 may be in the form of a belt or a pre-shaping layer, or it may be a viscous fluid that elongates the moisture of the rear surface 251A of the protective sheet 251. Dispersed on the sealant region 254A. The side walls 256 Φ of the moisture sealant 254 and the dispenser step 257 are formed on the upper elongated protective sheet 251 when applied to the moisture sealant region 254A on the rear surface 251 A. A plurality of holes 259. Each of the cavities 259 can be defined by a moisture barrier layer portion 253A and the side walls 256 and the distributor wall 257 surrounding the moisture barrier layer portion 253A. As described above, the moisture sealant 254 can be formed into a one-piece continuous frame (moisture barrier frame), which includes the side walls and the distributor walls, which are based on the required solar modules. Shape and size to shape and determine the size. When the moisture barrier frame is applied to the moisture sealant region 254A on the ® rear surface 251A of the upper elongated protective sheet 251, the moisture barrier is applied thereto. The apertures 259 are formed on the barrier portion 253 A. It should be noted that although some portions of the moisture sealant 254 are substantially disposed on the moisture sealant region 254A, they may be along the moisture barrier layer. The edge of the portion 25 3 A- is extended thereon. After processing the moisture sealant 254, the support material layer 260 or the encapsulating material and the solar cell 262 or the solar cell comprising two or more solar cells are placed Each of the moisture barrier layers 2010A is located above the 253A. In FIG. 13A, at least one solar cell 262 or a solar cell string or circuit (shown in phantom) is shown, which is inserted in the support Between material layers 260. As described above, the The solar cells 262 or the strings of the solar cells or the circuits are placed on the support material layer 260 in a front-down manner. Each of the solar cells 260 or a light-receiving side of the solar cell string or circuit faces The upper protective sheet 251 is elongated. The electrical leads (not shown) or terminals of the module are preferably disposed by arranging the moisture sealant along at least one of the elongated edges of the elongated protective sheet 251. The side wall 256 of 254 is carried from the aperture 259 in a manner that the moisture sealant 254 also seals around the isoelectric pin. As shown in the previous embodiments, the 'solar cell string or circuit includes The electrical interconnects are too versatile cells 263. However, the strings in each of the holes 259 may or may not be electrically interconnected with each other. Referring back to Figure 13, in the following steps, a rear extension is maintained. A sheet 271 is placed over the moisture sealant 254 and the entire support material 26A to complete the assembly of the components of a continuous package structure 250 prior to the lamination process. The rear elongate protective sheet 271 can be transparent. Or opaque. Figure 13C A cross-sectional view of the embossed structure of the continuous package structure 250 shown in the laminated module 27: the section is taken along the middle of the exemplified continuous package structure 250. The elongated protective sheet 271 may have a moisture barrier property. There are such sheets in the market that have a multilayer polymeric structure including a metal layer (such as aluminum) with 201017914 as a moisture barrier. A group of moisture barrier layer portions 253A may be coated on the front surface 27 1B of one of the rear elongated protective sheets 271, as in the upper barrier layer 25 on the upper protective sheet 25 1 12A and 12B show a general module structure using various teachings of the present invention, and will be used in conjunction with Figs. 14A, 14B, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th. The figure depicts a more simplified modular structure to explain its unique features and advantages. Figs. 14A and 14B show a solar cell module 101 including at least two solar cells, a first solar cell 102 and a second solar cell 1〇4. The units ι〇2 and 1〇4 may be strings of solar cells. The unit 1〇2 may include solar cells 102A, 102B and 102c, which may include solar cells 104A, 104B, and 104C. Each solar cell includes a light receiving square knife 105A and a rear portion &amp;; 1〇5B or base. The light receiving front portions of the solar cells form the side of the solar cells 〇2 and 104 and the rear portions form the rear side of the solar cells. The solar cells in each cell or string are electrically interconnected by means of a conductive interconnect (not explicitly shown) by means of a program, which is known as a "semiconductor". As shown in the mth to the MBth, the module ι〇ι has a multi-segment structure including a first segment and a second request—the segment includes the first string 1G2 and The second segment_ includes 42 201017914 the second string 104. The segments are formed between the protective sheet 107 and a rear protective sheet 108 above one of the modules ιοί. A first encapsulant 112 or an edge sealant seals the edges of the protective sheets at its perimeter thereby forming a protective casing 110. A second encapsulant 114 or a dispenser sealer separates the strings 102 and 104, thereby forming the segments 106A and 106B. Both the edge sealant 112 and the dispenser sealant are placed between the front and rear protective sheets 107 and 108 and attached to the same as shown in Figs. 14A and 14B. The edge and the dispenser sealant can be two parts of a one-piece sealant. In this embodiment, each solar cell string is encapsulated with a layer of support material 116. The support material 116, such as EVA, can completely fill the sections 106A and 106B with the edge sealant 112 and the dispenser sealant 114 and the first and second protective sheets 1〇7 and 1〇. 8 sealed. The separately sealed sections independently protect the strings of solar cells, which are encapsulated with the support material 116. This provides additional protection for these strings of solar cells. For example, even if a defect in the edge sealant 112 near the first section 106A allows moisture to leak into the first section 1〇8 and cause the first string 1〇2 to fail, The sealed second string 1〇4 in the second section 106B is still active and produces power. It should be noted that when the number of individual sealing segments within a modular structure is increased, the probability of failure of the solar cell due to a defect in one of the protective casings is reduced. These defects may be in the edge sealant, or in 201017914 to any of the front protective sheet and the rear protective sheet. If one of the defects in the protective casing carries moisture into a sealing section, the moisture is trapped in the sealing section without the ability to diffuse through the remaining module structure. For example, the solar cell module 101 of Fig. 14A may have six sections instead of the two sections shown. In this example, each of the solar cells 102A, 102B, 102C, 1.04A, 104B, and 104C may be in a section thereof. Figure 18 shows a four-segment module design. The module 150 of Fig. 8 includes six batteries 151A, 151B, 151C, 151D, 151E and 151F' which all have similar designs. Figure 19 shows the solar cell design. The solar cell 151A includes a bus bar 16A and a finger 161. These design details of the solar cells are not shown in Figure 18 to simplify the drawing. The module 15 5 has a four-segment structure, and each of the four segments 152A, 152B, 152C, and 152D includes half of the three cells. For example, the segment 152A includes a portion of the battery 151A, a portion of the battery i51B, and a portion of the battery 151C. The edge sealant 155 and the dispenser sealant 156 form sections 152a, 152B, 152C and 152D' which contain three dispenser sealant portions 156A, 156B and 156C. The dispenser sealant portions 156_A and 156C are substantially in line with the bus bars 160 of the solar cells 151, 151B, 151C, . . . 151Ό, 151E and 151F, so that 44 201017914 can minimize the cause The shielding loss caused by the dispenser sealant portions 156A, 156B and 156C. As described in Figures 12A and 18, the section forming the seal in the module structure in which only one portion of the solar cell is included in each section has an advantage. Thus 'if moisture or other vapors enter a section and damage a portion of a solar cell', the other portion of the solar cell contained in other sections not affected by the moisture will continue to effectively produce a work rate of 10 . Therefore, the overall performance of the modular structure can be improved compared to a module that does not have one of the segments. These edge sealants and dispenser sealants are materials that are highly resistant to moisture penetration. The water vapor transmission rate of the edge and dispenser sealant is preferably less than 〇.〇〇丨g/m 2 /day, more preferably less than 0.0001 g/m 2 /day. A method of manufacturing one of the solar modules ι〇1 will be described below with reference to Fig. 15. First, a pair of front support layers 116A are placed on an inner surface 107B of the front protective sheet 107 which is pre-cleaned. A sealant space 118 is left between the edges of the protective sheet 107 and between the front support layers U6A to accommodate the edge sealant and the dispenser sealant described above. In the following steps, the front portion 1〇5A of the solar cells contiguously 1〇2 and 1〇4 may be placed on the front side inspection layer 116A. Then, the rear support layers i 16B are placed on the rear side 1 SB of the solar battery strings 1 〇 2 and 104. The edge sealant 112 and the dispenser sealant 114 are attached to the sealant space 118 201017914 118. Finally, an inner surface 108B of the rear protective sheet 108 is placed over the rear support layer 116B and the edge and dispenser sealant. The front protective sheet i 07 is generally a glass, but it can also be a transparent flexible polymeric film such as: TEFZEL®, or another polymeric film with a moisture barrier coating. TEDLAR® and TEFZEL® are the brand names of DuPont's gas polymer materials. TEDLAR® is a polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), and TEFZEL® is an ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) fluoropolymer. The rear protective sheet 108 can be a piece of glass or a polymeric sheet, such as TEDLAR®, or another polymeric material that can be transparent or opaque. The rear protective sheet 108 may comprise a stacked sheet 'which contains various wood composition, such as a metal film, as a moisture barrier. Preferably, the front and rear support layer materials may comprise EVA or thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) materials or both. It should be noted that the thicknesses of the components referred to in the figures are not to scale in actual dimensions. The module 101 can have a rectangular or any other geometric shape, so that the size of the segments and the distribution of the solar cell strings can be arranged accordingly. It is also possible to remove either or both of the front support floor and the rear support layer from the module structure. ........... The stacked components of the solar electric module described in Fig. 15 are placed in a laminating machine and pressed under pressure. _16〇. The heat treatment in one of the temperature ranges is about 10-20 minutes. Or this can be achieved by spring stacking 46 201017914 layers. As shown in Figures 14B and 15, each solar cell includes a square portion and a rear portion or base. The base 1 〇 5B includes a substrate and a contact layer is formed on the substrate. A preferred substrate material can be a metallic material such as stainless steel, aluminum or the like. An exemplary contact layer material can be molybdenum. The front portion 105A may include an absorber layer 'like: a CIGS absorbing layer formed on the contact layer, and a transparent layer formed on the absorber layer, such as a buffer layer/oxidation stack. An exemplary buffer layer can be a (Cd, Zn) s layer. A conductive finger (not shown) can be formed on the transparent layer. Each of the interconnects electrically connects the substrate or the contact pads of the battery to the transparent layer of the next battery. However, any other method in the art can be used to interconnect the solar cells. Figure 16 shows another embodiment of the module ι〇1 in a side view. In this embodiment, the _ 102 and 104 are supported by the edge and dispenser sealants 112 and 14 . A gap 122 is left between the strings and the rear side of the rear protective sheet 1〇8 and between the strings and the front side of the front protective sheet 1〇7. In the sections 〇6〇 and 〇6Β, the edges of the strings 1〇2 and 1〇4 are held in place and sealed by the edges and the dispenser sealants 112 and 114, This way is shown in the figure. It may be possible to fill any of the gaps 122 with a floor (not shown) identified as support layer i 16A or 116B in FIG. 47 201017914 Figure 17 shows a further embodiment of the module 101 in a side view. In this embodiment, a gap 122A appears on the front side of the strings 1〇2 and 1〇4. The gap 122A may optionally be filled with a front support layer (not shown but similar to the front support layer U6A of Figure 15). The rear sides of the strings 102 and 104 are placed on the rear panel 1 〇 8.
