本揭露是有關於一種太陽能電池。 This disclosure is about a solar cell.
近年來,隨著能源短缺的問題日益嚴重,各種替代能源不斷湧現。在眾多的替代能源中,又以太陽能產業最具前景。太陽能電池可將光能轉換為電能,其中光能又以太陽光為主要來源。由於太陽能電池在轉換過程中不會產生溫室氣體,因此得以實現綠色能源的環境。 In recent years, as the problem of energy shortages has become increasingly serious, various alternative energy sources have continued to emerge. Among the many alternative energy sources, the solar energy industry is the most promising. Solar cells can convert light energy into electrical energy, and sunlight is the main source of light energy. Since solar cells do not generate greenhouse gases during the conversion process, a green energy environment can be realized.
隨著太陽能產業的進步與發展,太陽能電池近來已廣泛地應用於各種電子產品中。然而,在太陽能電池的生產過程中,導線已從扁平型變為圓狀型,在製程過程中往往面臨焊料聚集與結塊的狀況,導致導線的焊接不完全以致空焊的情形發生,並進而影響太陽能電池模組的製程良率及產品可靠度。 With the progress and development of the solar energy industry, solar cells have recently been widely used in various electronic products. However, in the production process of solar cells, the wire has changed from a flat type to a round type.

在本揭露一實施方式中,導線的橫截面為圓形或橢圓形。 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cross section of the wire is circular or oval.
在本揭露一實施方式中,更包含導電結構,配置以固定導線至導電墊及匯流母線上方。導電結構與導電墊之間夾大於等於43°且小於等於65°的角度。 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a conductive structure is further included, which is configured to fix the wire to the conductive pad and the bus bar. An angle between the conductive structure and the conductive pad is greater than or equal to 43° and less than or equal to 65°.
在本揭露一實施方式中,更包含末端匯流母線,且導電墊包含末端導電墊。末端匯流母線位於末端導電墊與太陽能電池的側邊之間。 In an embodiment of the present disclosure, an end bus bar is further included, and the conductive pad includes an end conductive pad. The terminal bus bar is located between the terminal conductive pad and the side of the solar cell.
在本揭露一實施方式中,更包含兩末端匯流輔助線,且末端匯流輔助線自末端導電墊向太陽能電池的側邊延伸。末端匯流母線位於末端匯流輔助線之間,且末端匯流母線與末端匯流輔助線互相平行或共同形成放射形狀。 In one embodiment of the present disclosure, it further includes two end bus auxiliary lines, and the end bus auxiliary lines extend from the end conductive pad to the side of the solar cell.

Therefore, the solder is not easy to accumulate and agglomerate on both ends of the conductive pad adjacent to the bus bar. As a result, the conditions that lead to the incomplete welding of the wires and the occurrence of empty welding can be reduced, and the manufacturing yield and product reliability of the solar cell module can be improved.

第1圖繪示根據本揭露一實施方式之太陽能電池100的上視圖。第2圖繪示第1圖之太陽能電池100之區域R1的局部放大圖。同時參閱第1圖與第2圖,太陽能電池100包含複數個導電墊110、複數條匯流母線120及複數條匯流子線130。導電墊110在第一方向D1上排列。匯流母線120分別位於導電
墊110之間並沿第一方向D1延伸。匯流母線120與相鄰的導電墊110之間具有間隔d。匯流子線130在第一方向D1上排列並沿第二方向D2延伸。

第3圖繪示根據本揭露一實施方式之太陽能電池100的上視圖。第4圖繪示第3圖之太陽能電池100之區域R1的局部放大圖。同時參閱第3圖與第4圖,太陽能電池100更包含複數條導線150。導線150沿第一方向D1延伸,且位於導電墊110及匯流母線120上方。導電墊110之最大寬度Wm與對應之導線之直徑D的比例大於等於2.5且小於等於6。
FIG. 3 shows a top view of a
在本實施方式中,由於匯流母線120位於相鄰的導電墊110之間,匯流母線120與相鄰的導電墊110之間具有間隔d,且將導電墊110之最大寬度Wm與對應之導線150之直徑D的比例設計為大於等於2.5且小於等於6,因此焊料不易聚集與結塊於導電墊110鄰近匯流母線120的兩端。如此一來,導致導線150之焊接不完全以致空焊之情形發生的狀況可降低,並進而改善太陽能電池100模組的製程量率及產品可靠度。
In this embodiment, since the
在本實施方式中,位於導電墊110之間的匯流母線120沿第一方向D1設置。此外,匯流子線130可沿第二方向D2延伸並在第一方向D1以等距或不等距排列,依設計者的需求而定,並不用以限制本揭露。在本實施方式中,第一方向D1與第二方向D2實質上互相垂直,換句話說,匯流母線120與匯流子線130彼此互相大致垂直地相交排列。此外,導電墊110、匯流母線120及匯流子線130可由包含銀漿的材料所製
成,但並不用以限制本揭露。由於匯流母線120與相鄰的導電墊110之間具有間隔d,因此可以節省用於製造匯流母線120之銀漿的花費,進而降低太陽能電池100的製造成本。此外,在本實施方式中,導電墊110之最大長度Lm約等於導電墊110之最大寬度Wm,但並不用以限制本揭露,例如,導電墊110之最大長度Lm可大於或者小於導電墊110之最大寬度Wm。另外,導電墊110例如可在第一方向D1上等距離排列。
In this embodiment, the bus bars 120 located between the
第5圖繪示第4圖之太陽能電池100以導電結構140固定導線150後的上視圖。在本實施方式中,導線150與匯流母線120實質上重疊。此外,導線150延伸通過匯流母線120與導電墊110之間的間隔d。在本實施方式中,太陽能電池100還包含導電結構140。導電結構140位於導電墊110及匯流母線120上方,且配置以將導線150固定至導電墊110及匯流母線120上方。若從上視角度(即第5圖的視角)觀察,可見導電結構140至少部分覆蓋匯流母線120與導電墊110之間的間隔d。
FIG. 5 is a top view of the
在本實施方式中,導電結構140可由包覆導線150的焊料形成。焊料可由包含錫的合金(例如錫銀銅合金或錫鉛合金)的材料所製成,但並不用以限制本揭露。具體來說,可將導線150置於導電墊110及匯流母線120上方,並以紅外光所提供的能量將導線150周圍的焊料加熱。加熱後的焊料逐漸熔化並沿著導線150流動,隨後與導電墊110及匯流母線120表面的銀產生化學反應而形成介金屬共化物(intermetallic compound),所形成的介金屬共化物在冷卻後即為第5圖所示的導電結構140。導電結構140得以將導線150固定至導電墊
110及匯流母線120上方,以完成導線150的焊接。
In this embodiment, the
在本實施方式中,由於太陽能電池100中的導電墊110在太陽能電池100上等距排列,且每個導電墊110具有相同的面積,因此相鄰的導電墊110之間(以及每個導電墊110本身)所能乘載之焊料的量實質上相同,使得在導線150周圍流動的焊料得以均勻地分布在相鄰的導電墊110之間(以及每個導電墊110上方)。此外,由於導電墊110之最大長度Lm約等於導電墊110之最大寬度Wm,因此焊料沿著導電墊110之最大長度Lm所能夠流動的距離與焊料沿著導電墊110之最大寬度Wm所能夠流動的距離實質上相同,使得焊料得以平均地分布於導電墊110上方。
In this embodiment, since the
同時參閱第1圖及第2圖,太陽能電池100還包含複數個匯流輔助線160,匯流輔助線160分別位於導電墊110平行於第一方向D1的兩側。此外,匯流輔助線160沿第一方向D1延伸並凸出於導電墊110,並在第一方向D1上的兩端分別連接相鄰的匯流子線130。由於匯流輔助線160與匯流子線130的相鄰兩者連接,使得電子的傳導不會因為匯流母線120與導電墊110之間的間隔d而中斷,且連接後的匯流子線130與匯流輔助線160提供電子更多路徑選擇,進而降低太陽能電池100整體的阻值,並提升太陽能電池100在能量轉換上的效率。在本實施方式中,匯流輔助線160可由包含與導電墊110、匯流母線120及匯流子線130相同的材料所製成,也就是說,匯流輔助線160可由包含銀漿的材料製成,但並不用以限制本揭露。
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 at the same time, the
第6圖繪示第5圖之太陽能電池沿線段6-6的剖面圖。在本實施方式中,太陽能電池100的導線150具有圓形或橢圓形的橫截面。相較於傳統矩形之橫截面,由於圓形或橢圓形之橫截面的導線150不具有稜角,因此使得導線150周圍的焊料更容易沿水平方向溢散而不囤積聚集於導線150頂部。此外,當太陽光入射至太陽能電池100上方的導線150時,由於圓形或橢圓形之橫截面的導線150之表面為連續弧形,因此有助於入射之太陽光反射至太陽能電池100的表面,以有效增加太陽能電池100的光線利用率。此外,在本實施方式中,導電結構140與導電墊110之間具有大於等於43°且小於等於65°的角度θ,但並不用以限制本揭露。當角度θ的值越小,導電結構140與導電墊110之間的附著力越強,也因此可承受較大的拉力並較穩固地將導線150固定至導電墊110上方。

第7圖繪示第1圖之太陽能電池100之區域R2的局部放大圖。第8圖第7圖之太陽能電池100以導電結構140固定導線150後的上視圖。參閱第7圖,太陽能電池100中的導電墊110包含末端導電墊110a,且太陽能電池100還包含位於末端導電墊110a與太陽能電池100的側邊S之間的末端匯流母線120a。末端匯流母線120a沿第一方向D1延伸,且與相鄰的末端導電墊110a之間具有間隔d。此外,末端匯流母線120a與位於導電墊110之間的匯流母線120彼此沿第一方向D1對齊。參閱第8圖,由於末端匯流母線120a可由包含銀漿的材料製成,因此可與包覆導線150的焊料反應而形成導電結構140,導電結構140進而幫助導線150的末端在焊接的過程中固定至末端
匯流母線120a而幾乎不產生位置上的偏移。如此一來,導線150可始終沿著第一方向D1延伸至末端導電墊110a與太陽能電池100的側邊S之間。
FIG. 7 is a partial enlarged view of the region R2 of the
如第7圖及第8圖所示,在本實施方式中,太陽能電池100還包含兩末端匯流輔助線160a。此外,末端匯流母線120a位於兩末端匯流輔助線160a之間。在本實施方式中,末端匯流母線120a與兩末端匯流輔助線160a可共同形成放射形狀,但並不用以限制本揭露。在其他實施方式中,末端匯流母線120a與兩末端匯流輔助線160a可沿第一方向D1互相平行。當導線150的末端產生些許位置上的偏移時,兩末端匯流輔助線160a可幫助產生人眼視覺上的功效,使得導線150的末端在視覺上偏移的程度較實際上偏移的程度不明顯,達到改善太陽能電池100模組外觀的功效。
As shown in Figs. 7 and 8, in the present embodiment, the
如第5圖及第8圖所示,在本實施方式中,匯流子線130除了與匯流母線120相交排列於太陽能電池100上方之外,匯流子線130還與末端匯流母線120a及兩末端匯流輔助線160a相交排列於太陽能電池100上方。這樣的結構配置提供電子更多路徑選擇(即減少電子傳導的路徑長度),進而降低太陽能電池100整體的阻值,以提升太陽能電池100在能量轉換上的效率。此外,由於匯流子線130與末端匯流母線120a彼此相交排列,因此當導線150的末端在焊接的過程中產生些許位置上的偏移時,與末端匯流母線120a鄰接的匯流子線130可及時捕捉並固定偏移的導線150,使得導線150的末端不至於產生過度嚴重的位移。
As shown in Figures 5 and 8, in this embodiment, the
第9圖繪示第1圖之太陽能電池100中不同形狀之導電墊110的上視圖。如第9圖所示,(a)與(e)之導電墊110為「正方形」,(b)與(f)之導電墊110為「鄰近型」,(c)與(g)之導電墊110為「分開型」,而(d)與(h)之導電墊110為「斷開型」。其中,上述導電墊110又可區分為(a)至(d)的「水平式」以及(e)至(h)的「垂直式」。在本實施方式中,「鄰近型」、「分開型」以及「斷開型」為「正方形」所衍伸出來的形狀,且又可統稱為「紡錘型」。具體來說,設計者可將「正方形」(最大長度Lm約等於最大寬度Wm)的形狀加以改良而形成「鄰近型」、「分開型」以及「斷開型」。
FIG. 9 is a top view of
如第9圖所示,在「鄰近型」以及「分開型」的實施方式中,導電墊110具有相對的兩凹部112,且兩凹部112之兩底點R的連線段具有連線距離L1,且導電墊110平行於連線段之側邊具有長度L2,且連線距離L1與長度L2的比例大於等於0.1且小於等於0.9。「鄰近型」與「分開型」的差異在於兩凹部112的形狀,「鄰近型」的導電墊110具有三角形的兩凹部112,而「分開型」的導電墊110具有梯形的兩凹部112。此外,依照兩凹部112之兩底點R的連線段與第一方向D1之間的方向關係,可將「鄰近型」與「分開型」的導電墊110各自又分為「水平式」與「垂直式」。具體來說,若兩凹部112之兩底點R的連線段平行於第一方向D1,則導電墊110為「水平式」;若兩凹部112之兩底點R的連線段垂直於第一方向D1,則導電墊110為「垂直式」。舉例來說,若導電墊110具有三角形的兩凹部112,且兩凹部112之兩底點R的連線段平行於第
一方向D1,則導電墊110為「水平式鄰近型」。
As shown in Figure 9, in the "proximity type" and "separation type" embodiments, the
如第9圖所示,在「斷開型」的實施方式中,導電墊110具有梯形的相對的兩凹部112,且兩凹部112之兩底點R的直線距離形成連線段。此外,導電墊110還具有位於連線段上之矩形的通孔114,且通孔114平行於連線段之側邊具有寬度L3,且導電墊110平行於連線段之側邊具有長度L2,且寬度L3與長度L2的比例大於等於0.1且小於等於0.9。類似於「鄰近型」以及「分開型」的實施方式,若兩凹部112之兩底點R的連線段平行於第一方向D1,則導電墊110為「水平式」;若兩凹部112之兩底點R的連線段垂直於第一方向D1,則導電墊110為「垂直式」。此外,在本實施方式中,「水平式斷開型」的導電墊110之通孔114的寬度L3方向平行於第一方向D1(垂直於第二方向D2),而「垂直式斷開型」的導電墊110之通孔114的寬度L3方向垂直於第一方向D1(平行於第二方向D2)。
As shown in FIG. 9, in the "disconnected" embodiment, the
應當理解,為方便說明,第9圖僅繪示導電墊110的8種形狀,但並不以此為限。在實際應用上,導電墊110可具有由此8種形狀所衍伸之其他各種形狀。舉例來說,兩凹部112可具有除了三角形與梯形之外的其他形狀(如圓形、矩形或不規則形等),且通孔114也可具有除了矩形之外的其他形狀。另外,導電墊110具有之通孔或凹部不限於上述,例如,導電墊110可僅具有一個或多個通孔,或者,導電墊110可僅具有一個或多個凹部,亦或是導電墊110可同時具有一個或多個通孔/一個或多個凹部。此外,針對「垂直式鄰近型」與「垂直式分開型」的導電墊110,連線距離L1與長度L2的比例可依導
線150直徑D的不同而設計為不同的數值。舉例來說,當導線150的直徑D較小時,連線距離L1與長度L2的比例可設計為較小的數值(例如0.2);當導線150的直徑D較大時,連線距離L1與長度L2的比例可設計為較大的數值(例如0.8),但此比例的數值並不用以限制本揭露,設計者可在綜合評估後決定此比例的實際數值。
It should be understood that, for convenience of description, FIG. 9 only shows 8 shapes of the
在本實施方式中,「紡錘型」之導電墊110的設計使得導電墊110具有多個開口(即凹部112與通孔114),這樣的設計使得導線150周圍的焊料在焊接的過程中傾向流動至導電墊110中開口的邊緣,也因此更容易以各種角度沿水平方向溢散,以與導電墊110之開口的邊緣反應而形成導電結構140。如此一來,加熱後的焊料得以均勻分布在導電墊110上方及導線150周圍且不易囤積並聚集於導線150的頂部,使得冷卻後之導線150的頂部幾乎沒有導電結構140的堆積。由於導電墊110的頂部僅具有薄薄一層導電結構140,因此太陽能電池100在後續層壓(lamination)的過程中不易產生微裂缺陷(micro crack defect),進而改善太陽能電池100模組的製程量率及產品可靠度。此外,由於導電墊110可由包含銀漿的材料製成,而凹部112與通孔114可節省銀漿的使用量,進而降低材料成本。
In this embodiment, the "spindle"
應瞭解到,已敘述過的元件連接關係、材料與功效將不再重複贅述,合先敘明。在以下敘述中,將詳細說明兩個不同實施方式之太陽能電池100a、100b的結構。
It should be understood that the connection relationships, materials, and effects of the components that have been described will not be repeated, and will be described first. In the following description, the structure of the
第10圖繪示根據本揭露另一實施方式之太陽能
電池100a局部放大圖。第11圖繪示第10圖之太陽能電池100a以導電結構140固定導線150後沿線段11-11的剖面圖。如第10圖及第11圖所示,太陽能電池100a的導電墊110為「水平式斷開型」,且導線150的橫截面為圓形。導電結構140與導線150位於導電墊110與匯流母線120上方且沿第一方向D1沿伸,並覆蓋導電墊110的兩凹部112及通孔114。此外,導電結構140與導電墊110之間具有46°至50°的角度θ。這樣的小角度θ使得導電結構140與導電墊110之間具有較強的附著力,因此可承受較大的拉力並較穩固地將導線150固定至導電墊110上方。
Figure 10 shows the solar energy according to another embodiment of the present disclosure
A partial enlarged view of the
在上述實施方式中,導電墊110上方之導線150的頂部僅具有薄薄一層導電結構140(參閱第11圖),可見導電墊110的形狀設計搭配導線150橫截面之形狀設計與導電墊110與匯流母線120之間的間隔d可有效改善焊料在水平方向上的溢流狀況,進而形成更穩固的導電結構140以有效固定導線150至導電墊110及匯流母線120上方。
In the above embodiment, the top of the
在本實施方式中,由於太陽能電池100、100a、100b中的匯流母線120位於相鄰的導電墊110之間,匯流母線120與相鄰的導電墊110之間具有間隔d,且導電墊110之最大寬度Wm與對應之導線之直徑D的比例大於等於2.5且小於等於6,因此焊料不易聚集與結塊於導電墊110鄰近匯流母線120的兩端。如此一來,導致導線150之焊接不完全以致空焊的情形發生的狀況可降低,並進而改善太陽能電池100、100a、100b模組的製程量率及產品可靠度。
In this embodiment, since the bus bars 120 in the
