Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for repairing a color-changing plague of a solar substrate electrode, and more particularly to a method for repairing the discoloration of a solar substrate electrode by using a chemical-free agent. [Prior Art] 〇 At present, the types of solar cells can be mainly divided into two categories: crystalline germanium and amorphous germanium. In general, in the material of crystalline germanium, germanium atoms have a high degree of periodic arrangement. Therefore, the crystalline germanium solar cell has the highest photoelectric conversion efficiency and good stability. For an amorphous germanium solar cell, since it is usually formed by a plasma chemical vapor deposition method, it is formed into a thin film of amorphous germanium on a substrate, so that it is produced in a manner similar to that of a single crystal germanium and a hawstone. The solar cell is simple and the production speed is also the fastest, but the conversion efficiency of the amorphous solar cell is lower than that of the crystal solar cell. Therefore, the most common application on the market today is based on crystalline germanium solar cells. In general, the monomer (four) system is usually made up of (4) for the production of Shi Xijing tablets, as the substrate of the solar energy pool. Then, the crystal is etched to diffuse a trace amount of boron, a dopant or the like to form a p_n structure on the wafer. And an anti-reflection layer is formed on the surface of the stone wafer, and then a metal electrode is formed on the front and back surfaces of the stone wafer. The anti-reflection layer is generally formed by a deposition process, and the metal electrode is a conductive paste using a mixed silver powder. After the conductive polymer is coated by a screen printing method, it is placed in a sintering furnace. Sintered at high temperature. The conductive paste usually includes silver powder, ship glass frit (fine ring, organic 3 201044620 solvent. The purpose of using leaded glass frit is to etch through the anti-reflective layer during high temperature sintering, so that molten silver can Through the surface contact between the anti-reflective layer and the stone-etched wafer, a conductive connection is formed after the temperature is lowered. Generally, the temperature of the button-through anti-reflection layer is relatively high, about 9 〇〇 ° C. After sintering the metal electrode at a high temperature, the solar cell is fabricated and completed. After that, according to different needs, the solar cell can be processed into a solar cell module. However, after the long-term storage of the completed solar cell or module, the metal electrode may undergo discoloration, which affects the appearance of the battery and causes the user to return the product. Q It can be seen that the industry currently needs a method for repairing such an electrode discoloration enthalpy, which needs to have low cost, high productivity, no pollution, and does not affect the electrical performance of the solar cell or module. In view of the above, the present invention provides a method for repairing the discoloration of the solar substrate electrode and solving the problem. The problem of the above prior art. / According to the health of the present (4), this (4) provides a method for discoloration and fatigue of the electrode of the ruthenium substrate. The method includes: providing a solar substrate with a towel on the surface of the solar substrate. There is at least a surface electrode comprising - a first metal oxide, and the first metal oxide causes the _ discoloration fatigue; and performing a cryogenic firing method, the first metal of the surface electrical axis The oxide is converted to a second metal oxide to repair the electrode discoloration 瑕疵. I month is characterized by using a heating furnace tube for performing high temperature sintering to perform a low temperature process to repair the original color of the surface electrode. Further, the present invention does not It is necessary to use the color of the predator, and it has the advantages of 201044620, which is the result of Wei Wei dyeing and cost saving. In order to enable the reviewing committee to further understand the characteristics and technical contents of the present invention, please refer to the following related to the present invention. The drawings and the accompanying drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to limit the invention. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a partial perspective view of a crystalline solar cell. As shown in FIG. 1, a solar cell 10 includes a solar substrate 12, after being doped and diffused, on a solar substrate. In FIG. 12, Ρ, 构, 14 are formed, and the solar cell 1 further includes an anti-reflection film π disposed on the first surface 18 of the solar substrate 12, a surface electrode 2 disposed on the anti-reflection film 16, and a surface electrode 22 is disposed on a second surface 24 of the first surface 18 of the solar cell 10. Typically, the first surface 18 on which the surface electrode 2 is located is the light receiving surface of the solar cell 1 , and the second surface 24 is a solar cell. The backlight surface of 10. In general, the solar substrate 12 may be a single crystal or a polycrystalline lining substrate. The antireflection film 16 may be generally composed of tantalum nitride, but is not limited thereto. The surface electrode 20 contains a conductive material of silver, copper, bismuth, tin, indium or the like. The back electrode 22 is preferably made of silver and metal. The surface electrode 20 and the back surface electrode 22 can be formed by a sputtering method, a vacuum deposition method, a screen printing method, or the like. In the present embodiment, the surface electrode 2 is mainly formed by sintering a conductive polymer (silver polymerization) mixed with silver powder in a sintering furnace at a relatively high temperature of _ °C. In order to sinter the surface electrode 2 so that the silver paste can penetrate the anti-reflection film 16 and the pn structure 14 to electrically connect, the junction will usually be added to the silver paste containing the wrong glass frit, wherein the ship glass frit contains 201044620 η oxidation error (PbO ) Even after the solar cell 10 is completed, the surface electrode 20 still contains lead oxide. However, the inventors have found that after long-term storage of the solar cell 10, the lead oxide present in the surface electrode 20 is oxidized to a high-priced lead metal oxide such as Pb02, Pb3〇4, Pb12〇19, Pb12017 and PbxOy, wherein x> 〇, 2, The high-priced lead metal oxide described above means a metal oxide containing tetravalent lead. Since the color of the lead oxide in the surface electrode 20 is yellow', the high-priced lead metal oxide formed after the oxidation contains red and black, the dark-colored high-priced lead metal oxonide causes the surface electrode 20 to cause electrode discoloration. The shelter, for example, causes the surface electrode 20 to become darker in color, which affects the appearance of the solar cell. Therefore, after long-term research, the inventor discovered a method for repairing the color-changing enamel of the solar substrate electrode. Please refer to FIG. 2, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the process for repairing the discoloration of the solar substrate electrode, which is simple and clear for the sake of illustration. The solar cell 10 in the figure 2 only indicates the surface electrode 20. First, a heating furnace tube 5 is provided, including a heating zone 52 and a conveyor belt 54. Next, the solar cell 10 having the surface electrode 20 having the electrode discoloration enthalpy is placed in the conveyor belt 54 and fed to the heating zone 52 for a low temperature tempering process. In Fig. 2, the dot on the surface electrode 20 indicates the discoloration of the electrode. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the heating furnace tube 5 used may be, for example, a device manufactured by Centrotherm photovotaics, and may be of the type DO-FF-8.6_0G 'heating furnace tube 5G heating zone 52 The sequence is divided into the third to the sixth zone, in which the heating temperature can be set individually in the first zone to the sixth zone, and the solar cell (7) will be transported by the conveyor belt 54 and sequentially passed through! Zone to Zone 6 is heated and tempered. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the conditions for repairing the discoloration enamel are as follows: the speed of the conveyor belt 54 is (10) mm/min, and the heating zone 52 is by the first! The heating temperatures from the zone to the sixth zone are set to · 6 201044620 ° C, 400 ° c, 400 ° c, 45 〇 t, 580 ΐ, 58 (TC. Note that the heating of the first zone to the sixth zone is mentioned above. The temperature is the temperature value read by the built-in thermometer on the heating tube. 'The ambient temperature of the surface electrode is not the surface temperature of the surface electrode. Therefore, 'for different heating tubes', even the surface will eventually The surface of the electrode reaches the same temperature', but depending on the relative position of the thermometer and the solar cell of the gorge, there is a set value in the temperature setting of the ship. According to the inventor's measurement, in fact, the surface temperature of the surface electrode The system is higher than 6〇5〇c. In addition, the discoloration of the surface 〇©t pole 20 is mainly repaired when heating in the 5th and 6th zones. The heating in the 1st to 4th zones can be selected. According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the heating furnace tube 5 used is also a device manufactured by Centrothermphotovotaics, model number D〇FF 8 6〇〇3〇〇, conveyor belt 54 speed 7500 mm/ Min, the heating zone % from the ith zone to the sixth zone The heating temperature of the zone is set to 40 (TC, 4 (Krc, milk, 45 叱, 6 (8), c, 6 〇 (rc. The heating temperature system provided here is also built-in on the heating furnace tube). The temperature value read by the thermometer ^ is the ambient temperature of the surface electrode (ambienttempe on e), not the surface temperature of the surface electrode. According to the inventors' measurement, the surface temperature of the surface electrode is higher than 605 ° C. After the fire process, the high-priced metal oxide will be reduced to oxidative error due to heating at a temperature above the Japanese mosquito, so that the surface electrode 2 四 (4) pole discoloration is quickly repaired. As shown in Fig. 2, leaving the heating zone 52 The rear solar cell 1 〇, the surface = the color change 瑕 _ 2 on the electrode 20 is indicated by a dot) disappears. The above-mentioned heating furnace is originally used as a sintering furnace for the high temperature at the time of surface repair 2G formation. Burning 4 steps' Therefore, this low temperature tempering repair electrode discoloration (four) process and high temperature sintering 201044620 electrode process, the same heating furnace tube can be used without additional hardware. Of course, the invention repairs the solar substrate electrode discoloration Method of sheltering It is not limited to the use of the aforementioned tube method, and other heating methods such as infrared, laser heating or other low temperature tempering processes may be used to heat the surface temperature of the surface electrode of the solar cell to 6 〇 5. (: Between 6 and 5%, and when the surface temperature is between _, continuous heating is carried out for 2 seconds to 3 seconds, preferably 2 seconds to 2 seconds to repair the effect of discoloration of the electrode. Yes: If the heating temperature is too low, or the simmering time is too short, the surface temperature of the surface electrode will be too low, causing the discoloration method to repair. If the temperature of the heating temperature is too high, or the heating time is too long, then The surface temperature of the surface electrode is too high, thereby causing the surface electrode to peel off or affecting the battery electrical performance. Therefore, the temperature and time of heating are the key to the electrode discoloration. The invention reduces the equine-aged oxides in the surface electrodes on the solar substrate to the oxidized agglomerates by means of low-temperature tempering, so that the color-changing ruthenium originally occupied by the high-priced erroneous metal oxides is not used. Chemistry _ can remove high-priced ship gold Q oxides to avoid environmental pollution problems. The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all changes and modifications made to the scope of the present invention should fall within the scope of the present invention.
