Abstract

A thin-film solar panel structure for the prevention of thermal damage comprises a transparent substrate, a front electrode layer, a light absorption layer and a back electrode layer. The first opening pattern on the front electrode is continuously extended as a first partition line.

The extension or corrugated progression direction of the second groove is perpendicular to the first groove. The density of the second grooves for preventing the thermal damage on the thin-film solar panel structure is 50~250 strips/m2, which occupies 0.5~12.5% of the area of the thin-film solar panel structure capable of thermal damage prevention. By increasing the density of second grooves and further dividing the solar panel into several blocks to prevent heat concentration and thus reduce the thermal damage area, the present invention may enhance the production yield and service life for the thin-film solar panel.
