- the moisture detection layer may detect and locate a particular position of the moisture so that an operator may re-package the photovoltaic module, thereby service life of the photovoltaic module is prolonged.
- FIGS. 1-7 are schematic diagrams showing structures of a photovoltaic module provided in a first embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module including: a base plate 110 , a cell string 100 and a cover plate 120 staked in order; a first packaging layer 130 located between the base plate 110 and the cover plate 120 and surrounding the cell string 100 , the first packaging layer 130 , the base plate 110 and the cover plate 120 defining a first sealed space; a functional layer 140 located within the first sealed space, adaptive to absorb moisture and be converted into a solidified layer, and the solidified layer having a degree of cross linking greater than that of the functional layer .
- the base plate 110 may be a conductive substrate, and the cell string 100 may include a plurality of perovskite solar cells. That is, in this embodiment, the base plate 110 can not only bear the cell string 100 , but also can serve as an anode to collect electrons generated by the cell string 100 after light exposure.
- the base plate 110 may be fluorine-doped tin oxide conductive glass or indium tin oxide conductive glass. It may be appreciated that the conductive base plate may be conductive glass of the perovskite solar cell.
- the cell string 100 is a perovskite solar cell film layer including such structures as a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, an electron transport layer and a metal electrode.
- the perovskite layer When exposed to sunlight, the perovskite layer first absorbs photons to generate electron-hole pairs. Un-recombined electrons and holes are separately collected by the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer. That is, the electrons are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the electron transport layer and finally collected by the base plate 110 ; the holes are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the hole transport layer and finally collected by the metal electrode. At last, photocurrent is generated through a circuit connecting the base plate 110 and the metal electrode.
- the perovskite solar cell has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
- the cell string may further include such cell film layers as gallium arsenide, copper indium selenium or cadmium telluride layers.
- the cell string 100 is of a cell structure formed by a plurality of solar cells connected in parallel or in series.
- the cell string may include a plurality of sub-strings connected in parallel or in series, and each of the plurality of sub-strings may further include a plurality of solar cells connected in series.
- the cover plate 120 may be glass. In another embodiment, the cover plate may be transparent plastic.
- the first packaging layer 130 may be located between the base plate 110 and the cover plate 120 , surrounding the cell string 100 .
- the first packaging layer 130 , the base plate 110 and the cover plate 120 define the first sealed space.
- a material for the first packaging layer 130 may be a moisture-solidified material, a light-solidified material or an additive-curing material, for example, polyisobutylene, polyolefin or polyurethane. Because the perovskite solar cell is not resistant to a high temperature, temperature should not be too high during a lamination process of the photovoltaic module. If the first packaging layer 130 is a thermos-solidified material, it is difficult for the temperature during the lamination process to reach a temperature at which the first packaging layer 130 is solidified, thus the first packaging layer 130 may not be solidified completely, resulting in inadequate packaging. Therefore, the moisture-solidified material, the light-solidified material or the additive-curing material are used for the first packaging layer 130 to avoid the above problem. In this way, the first packaging layer 130 may be solidified well without a high temperature.
- a width of the first packaging layer 130 in a direction parallel to a surface of the base plate 110 is 3 mm-500 mm. It shall be noted that if a width of the first packaging layer 130 is too small, it would be easy for a problem of inadequate packaging to occur; but if the width is too large, an area of the photovoltaic module would be increased. Therefore, the above two problems may be avoided if the width of the first packaging layer 130 is 3 mm-500 mm.
- the first sealed space may be further filled with a second packaging layer 170 .
- the second packaging layer 170 may further enhance sealing to avoid moisture intrusion.
- a material for the second packaging layer 170 differs from that of the first packaging layer 130 , and may be an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film layer.
- EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
- the material for the second packaging layer 170 may be identical with that of the first packaging layer 130 .
- the functional layer 140 is located within the first sealed space. If either the first packaging layer 130 or the second packaging layer 170 is not packaged adequately or has aged material, the functional layer 140 may absorb moisture and be converted into a solidified layer.
- the solidified layer has a degree of cross linking greater than that of the functional layer 140 . That is, the functional layer 140 may perform packaging on the cell string 100 for a second time, thereby preventing the cell string 100 from being decomposed or ceasing to be effective in moisture.
- what the functional layer 140 absorbs may be moisture entered the first sealed space, and the functional layer 140 prevents the moisture in the first sealed space from damaging the cell string 100 .
- the degree of cross linking is further called cross linking index or cross linking density, and may be used to represent a degree of cross linking of a molecular chain.
- the degree of cross linking refers to a fraction taken by a cross-linked structural unit of an entire structural unit.
- the degree of cross linking is proportional with the amount of cross link bonds: the greater the degree of cross linking, the more cross link bonds in a unit volume and the greater the cross linking density.
- a thickness of the functional layer 140 is greater than or equal to 500 nm. If the thickness of the functional layer 140 is excessively thin, a compactness of the functional layer 140 is poor after absorbing moisture. Therefore, the thickness of the functional layer 140 is at least 500 nm, thereby improving the second packaging effect.
- a material for the functional layer 140 may be a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material that can absorb moisture entering into the first sealed space and that may have a cross-linking reaction after absorbing moisture. In this way, viscosity and compactness of the material are increased, and the second packaging may be performed.
- the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material may be silane modified polyurethane or silicone.
- the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material may be either a single-component hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material or a double-component hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material.
- materials for the functional layer may further include a material that is already hydrolyzed and cross-linked.
- a prepolymer thereof has an aminosilane end cap, and the prepolymer reacting with external moisture may produce a cross-linked network structure.
- an organic functional silane has multiple functions. Firstly, the silane acts as an adhesion promoter to improve bonding; secondly, in a crosslinking process, the silane can accelerate a reaction.
- a main polymer chain thereof is composed of silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds, and does not contain a structure that may be polymerized by heating. That is, even at a high temperature, silicone is not prone to polymerize. Therefore, in subsequent use or packaging, silicone is not easily affected by temperature and can maintain good moisture absorption and crosslinking properties.
- the functional layer 140 may have a hydrolysis reaction, a polycondensation reaction, a cross-linking reaction, or an oligomerization reaction and the like.
- the material for the functional layer 140 is silane-modified polyurethane
- the functional layer 140 undergoes a cross-linking reaction, and the number of Si—O—Si bonds in the solidified layer is greater than the number of Si—O—Si bonds in the functional layer 140 .
- the compactness of the solidified layer may further be greater than the compactness of the functional layer.
- the functional layer 140 absorbs moisture in the first sealed space and is converted into a solidified layer, including: a partial region of the functional layer 140 absorbs moisture to be converted into a solidified layer. Alternatively, all of the functional layer 140 absorbs moisture to be converted into a solidified layer.
- the functional layer 140 includes a first functional layer and a second functional layer stacked in order, the first functional layer is located between the second functional layer and the cell string 100 , the material for the first functional layer is a material that is already hydrolyzed and crosslinked based on a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material, and materials for the second functional layer includes the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material.
- a non-hydrolysed and non-cross-linked material has flowability, while a hydrolysed and cross-linked material is highly adhesive, thus stacking the non-hydrolysed and non-cross-linked material and the hydrolysed and cross-linked material may reduce the flowability of the non-hydrolysed and non-cross-linked material, thereby thickness of the functional layer is more even.
- the functional layer may be a single-layered hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material, i.e., a material that is not hydrolyzed yet.
- the functional layer 140 is at least located between the first packaging layer 130 and the cell string 100 .
- a space between the first packaging layer 130 and the cell string 100 is a place where moisture enters earliest. Therefore, the functional layer 140 is provided between the first packaging layer 130 and the cell string 100 , thereby enhancing the second packaging effect.
- the cell string 100 has a first surface 101 and a second surface 102 opposite each other, and a side surface 103 connecting the first surface 101 and the second surface 102 .

- the separation layer 160 can further improve tightness of the package, and the separation layer 160 can also separate the functional layer 140 from the cell string 100 . If the material used for the functional layer 140 may react with the material for the cell string 100 , the separation layer 160 can prevent the functional layer 140 from having an adverse effect on the cell string 100 and improve life of the cell string 100 .
- a material for the separation layer 160 may be an EVA film.
- the functional layer 140 is further located on the first surface 101 of the central region 105 . That is, the functional layer 140 is located on the side surface 103 and the first surface 101 of the cell string 100 .

- the first packaging layer 130 is formed around the functional layer 140 on the base plate 110 .

- a fifth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module substantially identical with the photovoltaic module provided in the previous embodiments, but a main difference lies in: in the fifth embodiment, because the functional layer is converted into a solidified layer after absorbing moisture, the photovoltaic module has a solidified layer rather than a functional layer. It may be appreciated that limitation on the position of the functional layer in the previous embodiments also applies to the solidified layer. A limitation on a particular position of the solidified layer is not stated in detail in the following to avoid repetition. In the following, the photovoltaic module provided in the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to the drawings.
- the photovoltaic module includes: a base plate 510 , a cell string 500 and a cover plate 520 stacked in order; a first packaging layer 530 located between the base plate 510 and the cover plate 520 and surrounding the cell string 500 , the first packaging layer 530 , the base plate 510 and the cover plate 520 defining a third sealed space 570 ; and a solidified layer 540 located within the third sealed space 570 .

- the base plate 510 the cell string 500 , the cover plate 520 and the first packing layer 530 , the previous embodiments may be referred to and is not repeated here.
- the solidified layer 540 is at least located between the first packing layer 530 and the cell string 500 .
- the limitation on the position of the functional layer in the previous embodiments also applies to the solidified layer 540 .
- the material for the solidified layer 540 may either be a material converted from a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material after absorbing moisture, or a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material.
- degrees of cross linking vary in different regions of the solidified layer 540 .
- a degree of cross linking of the solidified layer 540 facing the cover plate and the first packaging layer 530 is greater than that of a region facing the cell string 500 .
- the degrees of cross linking of the solidified layer 540 may alternatively be identical in different regions.
- the solidified layer 540 may serve as a second packaging function on the cell string 500 , which is advantageous for further improving tightness of the cell string.
- a sixth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module.
- the photovoltaic module includes: a base plate 610 , a cell string 600 and a cover plate 620 stacked in order; a first packaging layer 630 located between the base plate 610 and the cover plate 620 and surrounding the cell string 600 , the first packaging layer 630 , the base plate 610 and the cover plate 620 defining a first sealed space; a moisture detection layer 640 located in the first sealed space. It is detected and determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space through response information of the moisture detection layer 640 .
- the base plate 610 may be a conductive substrate, and the cell string 600 may include a plurality of perovskite solar cells. That is, in this embodiment, the base plate 610 can not only bear the cell string 600 , but also can serve as an anode to collect electrons generated by the cell string 600 after light exposure.
- the base plate 610 may be fluorine-doped tin oxide conductive glass or indium tin oxide conductive glass. That is, the base plate 610 may be taken as conductive glass of the cell string 600 .
- the cell string 600 is a perovskite solar cell film layer including such structures as a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, an electron transport layer and a metal electrode.
- the perovskite layer When exposed to sunlight, the perovskite layer first absorbs photons to generate electron-hole pairs. Un-recombined electrons and holes are separately collected by the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer. That is, the electrons are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the electron transport layer and finally collected by the base plate 610 ; the holes are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the hole transport layer and finally collected by the metal electrode. At last, photocurrent is generated through a circuit connecting the base plate 610 and the metal electrode.
- the perovskite solar cell has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
- the cell string may further include such cell film layers as gallium arsenide, copper indium selenium or cadmium telluride layers.
- the cell string 600 is of a cell structure formed by a plurality of solar cells connected in parallel or in series.
- the cover plate 620 may be glass. In another embodiment, the cover plate may be transparent plastic.
- the first packaging layer 630 may be located between the base plate 610 and the cover plate 620 , surrounding the cell string 600 .
- the first packaging layer 630 , the base plate 610 and the cover plate 620 define a first sealed space.
- a material for the first packaging layer 630 may be a moisture-solidified material, a light-solidified material or an additive-curing material, for example, polyisobutylene, polyolefin or polyurethane. Because the perovskite solar cell is not resistant to a high temperature, temperature should not be too high during a lamination process of the photovoltaic module. If the first packaging layer 630 is a thermos-solidified material, it is difficult for the temperature during the lamination process to reach a temperature at which the first packaging layer 630 is solidified, thus the first packaging layer 630 may not be solidified completely, resulting in inadequate packaging. Therefore, the moisture-solidified material, the light-solidified material or the additive-curing material are used for the first packaging layer 630 to avoid the above problem. In this way, the first packaging layer 630 may be solidified well without a high temperature.
- a width of the first packaging layer 630 in a direction parallel to a surface of the base plate 610 is 3 mm-500 mm. It shall be noted that if a width of the first packaging layer 630 is too small, it would be easy for a problem of inadequate packaging to occur; but if the width is too large, an area of the photovoltaic module would be increased. Therefore, the above two problems may be avoided if the width of the first packaging layer 630 is 3 mm-500 mm.
- the first sealed space may be further filled with a second packaging layer 670 .
- the second packaging layer 670 may further enhance sealing to avoid moisture intrusion.
- a material for the second packaging layer 670 differs from that of the first packaging layer 630 , and may be an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film layer.
- EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
- the material for the second packaging layer 670 may be identical with that of the first packaging layer 630 .
- the response information of the moisture detection layer 640 may be color information or photoelectrical information.
- the color information is taken as an example.
- the response information includes a first response information and a second response information.
- the first response information is that color remains unchanged.
- the second response information is that color changes. If there is no moisture in the first sealed space, the moisture detection layer 640 sends out or displays the first response information. If a problem that packaging is not tight or a material ages occurs to the first packaging layer 630 or the second packaging layer 670 , moisture enters the first sealed space, and the moisture detection layer sends out or displays the second response information. Therefore, an operator may determine whether there is moisture in the first sealed space according to the response information of the moisture detection layer 640 . If there is moisture, the photovoltaic module is re-packaged, thereby preventing the cell string 600 from being decomposed or ceasing to be effective in moisture.
- the moisture detection layer 640 is further adaptive to locate a position where the moisture is located in the first sealed space.
- the moisture detection layer 640 may be arranged in different positions of the first sealed space, and the positions of the moisture may be located according to detection results at different positions of the moisture detection layer 640 .
- the moisture detection layer 640 includes a moisture absorption color changeable layer.
- the moisture absorption color changeable layer changes its color after absorbing moisture. According to the change state of color, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space. In addition, a particular position of the moisture may be determined according to a particular position of color change of the moisture absorption color changeable layer.
- Materials for the moisture absorption color changeable layer may be: copper sulfate, cobalt chloride, methylene amines or organic phenols. Take copper sulfate for example, the copper sulfate is grey-white before absorbing water, but is blue after absorbing water. Therefore, when the moisture absorption color changeable layer changes from white to blue, the operator may determine that there is moisture in the first sealed space and perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module.
- the moisture detection layer 640 may further be a moisture-sensitive resistor or a moisture-sensitive sensor. Resistance of the moisture-sensitive resistor may change after absorbing moisture, and based on the change, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space.
- the moisture-sensitive sensor may convert humidity to a signal to be sent out. Based on the signal, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space.
- a plurality of moisture-sensitive resistors or moisture-sensitive sensors may be arranged in the first sealed space as separated from each other. A particular position of the moisture may be determined in regard to resistance value changes of the moisture-sensitive resistors or signal changes of the moisture-sensitive sensors in different positions.

- the photovoltaic module further includes a separation layer 660 located on the side surface 603 and the first surface 601 of the peripheral region 604 , and the separation layer 660 is located between the moisture detection layer 640 and the cell string 600 .
- the separation layer 660 can further improve tightness of the package, and the separation layer 660 can also separate the moisture detection layer 640 from the cell string 600 . If the material used for the moisture detection layer 640 may react with the material for the cell string 600 , the separation layer 660 can prevent the moisture detection layer 640 from having an adverse effect on the cell string 600 and improve life of the cell string 600 .
- a material for the separation layer 660 may be an EVA film.

It may be appreciated that the moisture detection layer 640 can further be directly attached to the side surface 603 and the first surface 601 of the cell string 600 , that is, there is no separation layer 660 between the moisture detection layer 640 and the cell string 600 .

- the moisture detection layer 640 is at least located between the first packaging layer 630 and the cell string 600 . If the first packaging layer 630 or the second packaging layer 670 is not packaged tightly or their packaging ages, a position between the first packaging layer 630 and the cell string 600 is the first position where moisture enters. Therefore, by arranging the moisture detection layer 640 between the first packaging layer 630 and the cell string 600 , a speed of moisture detection can be increased.

In this way, the moisture is prevented from damaging a cell string, thereby tightness of the package is improved, the packaging technology for the photovoltaic module is improved, and the service life of the photovoltaic module is prolonged.
- In addition, the photovoltaic module includes a moisture detection layer located in a sealed space. It is detected and determined whether there is moisture in the sealed space through response information of the moisture detection layer. Therefore, when moisture enters the sealed space, an operator may perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module in time according to a detection result on the moisture detection layer, thereby moisture is further prevented from damaging the cell string, and the service life of the photovoltaic module is further prolonged.

FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing a manufacturing method of a photovoltaic module provided in a ninth embodiment of the present disclosure. - It is known from the above background that a packaging technology and a service life of a photovoltaic module need to be improved.
- It is found through analysis that reasons for the above is that during packaging of a photovoltaic module, it is common that a package is not packaged tight enough; during use of the photovoltaic module, it is common for a packaging material to age due to light, heat and water. Therefore, under moisture, it is easy for a cell string to be decomposed or less efficient and cease to work.
- In order to address the problems, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module and a manufacturing method for the photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module has a functional layer for absorbing moisture and being converted into a solidified layer, the solidified layer having a degree of cross linking greater than that of the functional layer. Therefore, in a case where packaging is not tight enough or the packaging material ages, the functional layer may absorb moisture and becomes a solidified layer to be packaged a second time, thereby moisture may be blocked out and the packaging is enhanced.
- An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module and a manufacturing method for the photovoltaic module. The photovoltaic module has a moisture detection layer. It is detected and determined whether there is moisture in a sealed space through response information of the moisture detection layer. Therefore, in a case where packaging is not tight or a packaging material ages, the moisture detection layer may quickly detect moisture in the sealed space. Based on response information of the moisture detection layer, an operator may re-package the photovoltaic module, thereby service life of the photovoltaic module is prolonged.
- An embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a photovoltaic module having a functional layer and a moisture detection layer. The functional layer is adaptive to absorb moisture and be converted into a solidified layer having a degree of cross linking greater than a degree of cross linking of the functional layer. The moisture treatment layer is adaptive to detect and determine whether there is moisture in a sealed space through response information of the moisture detection layer. Therefore, in a case where packaging is not tight or a packaging material ages, the functional layer may absorb moisture in the sealed space and be converted into a solidified layer to block moisture from entering the cell string, thereby a second packaging is realized. In addition, the moisture detection layer may detect and locate a particular position of the moisture so that an operator may re-package the photovoltaic module, thereby service life of the photovoltaic module is prolonged.
- In order to make the objective, the technical solution and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, a detailed description is provided on embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art may appreciate that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of technical details are provided for readers to better understand the present disclosure. However, even if the technical details and variants and amendments based on the following embodiments are not provided, the technical solution that the present disclosure claims to protect can still be implemented.
FIGS. 1-7 are schematic diagrams showing structures of a photovoltaic module provided in a first embodiment of the present disclosure. - With reference to
FIGS. 1-7 , the first embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module including: abase plate 110, acell string 100 and acover plate 120 staked in order; afirst packaging layer 130 located between thebase plate 110 and thecover plate 120 and surrounding thecell string 100, thefirst packaging layer 130, thebase plate 110 and thecover plate 120 defining a first sealed space; afunctional layer 140 located within the first sealed space, adaptive to absorb moisture and be converted into a solidified layer, and the solidified layer having a degree of cross linking greater than that of the functional layer . - A further description is provided in details in the following with reference to the drawings.
- With reference to
FIGS. 1-7 , thebase plate 110 may be a conductive substrate, and thecell string 100 may include a plurality of perovskite solar cells. That is, in this embodiment, thebase plate 110 can not only bear thecell string 100, but also can serve as an anode to collect electrons generated by thecell string 100 after light exposure. Thebase plate 110 may be fluorine-doped tin oxide conductive glass or indium tin oxide conductive glass. It may be appreciated that the conductive base plate may be conductive glass of the perovskite solar cell. - In this embodiment, the
cell string 100 is a perovskite solar cell film layer including such structures as a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, an electron transport layer and a metal electrode. When exposed to sunlight, the perovskite layer first absorbs photons to generate electron-hole pairs. Un-recombined electrons and holes are separately collected by the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer. That is, the electrons are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the electron transport layer and finally collected by thebase plate 110; the holes are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the hole transport layer and finally collected by the metal electrode. At last, photocurrent is generated through a circuit connecting thebase plate 110 and the metal electrode. Because a perovskite material has a low carrier recombination probability and a high carrier transferring rate, a diffusion distance and a life of a carrier are relatively long. Therefore, the perovskite solar cell has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency. - In another embodiment, the cell string may further include such cell film layers as gallium arsenide, copper indium selenium or cadmium telluride layers.
- It may be appreciated that the
cell string 100 is of a cell structure formed by a plurality of solar cells connected in parallel or in series. For example, the cell string may include a plurality of sub-strings connected in parallel or in series, and each of the plurality of sub-strings may further include a plurality of solar cells connected in series. - In this embodiment, the
cover plate 120 may be glass. In another embodiment, the cover plate may be transparent plastic. - The
first packaging layer 130 may be located between thebase plate 110 and thecover plate 120, surrounding thecell string 100. Thefirst packaging layer 130, thebase plate 110 and thecover plate 120 define the first sealed space. - A material for the
first packaging layer 130 may be a moisture-solidified material, a light-solidified material or an additive-curing material, for example, polyisobutylene, polyolefin or polyurethane. Because the perovskite solar cell is not resistant to a high temperature, temperature should not be too high during a lamination process of the photovoltaic module. If thefirst packaging layer 130 is a thermos-solidified material, it is difficult for the temperature during the lamination process to reach a temperature at which thefirst packaging layer 130 is solidified, thus thefirst packaging layer 130 may not be solidified completely, resulting in inadequate packaging. Therefore, the moisture-solidified material, the light-solidified material or the additive-curing material are used for thefirst packaging layer 130 to avoid the above problem. In this way, thefirst packaging layer 130 may be solidified well without a high temperature. - A width of the
first packaging layer 130 in a direction parallel to a surface of thebase plate 110 is 3 mm-500 mm. It shall be noted that if a width of thefirst packaging layer 130 is too small, it would be easy for a problem of inadequate packaging to occur; but if the width is too large, an area of the photovoltaic module would be increased. Therefore, the above two problems may be avoided if the width of thefirst packaging layer 130 is 3 mm-500 mm. - With reference to
FIGS. 1 to 6 , in this embodiment, the first sealed space may be further filled with asecond packaging layer 170. - The
second packaging layer 170 may further enhance sealing to avoid moisture intrusion. - A material for the
second packaging layer 170 differs from that of thefirst packaging layer 130, and may be an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film layer. - In another embodiment, the material for the
second packaging layer 170 may be identical with that of thefirst packaging layer 130. Alternatively, there may not be a second packaging layer in the first sealed space, i.e., there is a gap in the first sealed space. - The
functional layer 140 is located within the first sealed space. If either thefirst packaging layer 130 or thesecond packaging layer 170 is not packaged adequately or has aged material, thefunctional layer 140 may absorb moisture and be converted into a solidified layer. The solidified layer has a degree of cross linking greater than that of thefunctional layer 140. That is, thefunctional layer 140 may perform packaging on thecell string 100 for a second time, thereby preventing thecell string 100 from being decomposed or ceasing to be effective in moisture. - It may be appreciated that in this embodiment, what the
functional layer 140 absorbs may be moisture entered the first sealed space, and thefunctional layer 140 prevents the moisture in the first sealed space from damaging thecell string 100. - The degree of cross linking is further called cross linking index or cross linking density, and may be used to represent a degree of cross linking of a molecular chain. In particular, the degree of cross linking refers to a fraction taken by a cross-linked structural unit of an entire structural unit. The degree of cross linking is proportional with the amount of cross link bonds: the greater the degree of cross linking, the more cross link bonds in a unit volume and the greater the cross linking density. A thickness of the
functional layer 140 is greater than or equal to 500 nm. If the thickness of thefunctional layer 140 is excessively thin, a compactness of thefunctional layer 140 is poor after absorbing moisture. Therefore, the thickness of thefunctional layer 140 is at least 500 nm, thereby improving the second packaging effect. - In this embodiment, a material for the
functional layer 140 may be a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material that can absorb moisture entering into the first sealed space and that may have a cross-linking reaction after absorbing moisture. In this way, viscosity and compactness of the material are increased, and the second packaging may be performed. - The hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material may be silane modified polyurethane or silicone. In addition, the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material may be either a single-component hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material or a double-component hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material.
- In another embodiment, apart from the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material, materials for the functional layer may further include a material that is already hydrolyzed and cross-linked.
- For silane-modified polyurethane, a prepolymer thereof has an aminosilane end cap, and the prepolymer reacting with external moisture may produce a cross-linked network structure. In addition, an organic functional silane has multiple functions. Firstly, the silane acts as an adhesion promoter to improve bonding; secondly, in a crosslinking process, the silane can accelerate a reaction.
- For silicone, a main polymer chain thereof is composed of silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds, and does not contain a structure that may be polymerized by heating. That is, even at a high temperature, silicone is not prone to polymerize. Therefore, in subsequent use or packaging, silicone is not easily affected by temperature and can maintain good moisture absorption and crosslinking properties.
- It may be appreciated that different hydrolyzable and crosslinkable materials for the
functional layer 140 may enable thefunctional layer 140 to have different reactions internally when the functional layer is converting to a solidified layer. For example, thefunctional layer 140 may have a hydrolysis reaction, a polycondensation reaction, a cross-linking reaction, or an oligomerization reaction and the like. For example, when the material for thefunctional layer 140 is silane-modified polyurethane, thefunctional layer 140 undergoes a cross-linking reaction, and the number of Si—O—Si bonds in the solidified layer is greater than the number of Si—O—Si bonds in thefunctional layer 140. In another example, the compactness of the solidified layer may further be greater than the compactness of the functional layer. - In addition, it shall further be noted that the
functional layer 140 absorbs moisture in the first sealed space and is converted into a solidified layer, including: a partial region of thefunctional layer 140 absorbs moisture to be converted into a solidified layer. Alternatively, all of thefunctional layer 140 absorbs moisture to be converted into a solidified layer. In this embodiment, thefunctional layer 140 includes a first functional layer and a second functional layer stacked in order, the first functional layer is located between the second functional layer and thecell string 100, the material for the first functional layer is a material that is already hydrolyzed and crosslinked based on a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material, and materials for the second functional layer includes the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material. - Since a non-hydrolysed and non-cross-linked material has flowability, while a hydrolysed and cross-linked material is highly adhesive, thus stacking the non-hydrolysed and non-cross-linked material and the hydrolysed and cross-linked material may reduce the flowability of the non-hydrolysed and non-cross-linked material, thereby thickness of the functional layer is more even.
- In another embodiment, the functional layer may be a single-layered hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material, i.e., a material that is not hydrolyzed yet.
- The
functional layer 140 is at least located between thefirst packaging layer 130 and thecell string 100. In case of inadequate packaging or aged packaging of thefirst packaging layer 130 or thesecond packaging layer 170, a space between thefirst packaging layer 130 and thecell string 100 is a place where moisture enters earliest. Therefore, thefunctional layer 140 is provided between thefirst packaging layer 130 and thecell string 100, thereby enhancing the second packaging effect. - For technical solutions about a particular position of the
functional layer 140 in the first sealed space, the following examples are mainly included: - Example One: with reference to
FIG. 1 , thecell string 100 has afirst surface 101 and asecond surface 102 opposite each other, and aside surface 103 connecting thefirst surface 101 and thesecond surface 102. Thefirst surface 101 is away from thebase plate 110, and thesecond surface 102 faces thebase plate 110. Thefirst surface 101 includes acentral region 105 and aperipheral region 104 surrounding thecentral region 105. Thefunctional layer 140 is located on theside surface 103 and on thefirst surface 101 of theperipheral region 104. Thefunctional layer 140 is attached to theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of theperipheral region 104. - Example Two: with reference to
FIG. 2 , the photovoltaic module further includes aseparation layer 160 located on theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of theperipheral region 104, and theseparation layer 160 is located between thefunctional layer 140 and thecell string 100. - The
separation layer 160 can further improve tightness of the package, and theseparation layer 160 can also separate thefunctional layer 140 from thecell string 100. If the material used for thefunctional layer 140 may react with the material for thecell string 100, theseparation layer 160 can prevent thefunctional layer 140 from having an adverse effect on thecell string 100 and improve life of thecell string 100. A material for theseparation layer 160 may be an EVA film. - Example Three: with reference to
FIG. 3 , thefunctional layer 140 is further located on thefirst surface 101 of thecentral region 105. That is, thefunctional layer 140 is located on theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of thecell string 100. Aseparation layer 160 is further included between thefunctional layer 140 and thecell string 100. It may be appreciated that thefunctional layer 140 can further be directly attached to theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of thecell string 100, that is, there is noseparation layer 160 between thefunctional layer 140 and thecell string 100. - Example Four: with reference to
FIG. 4 , thefunctional layer 140 is arranged around thecell string 100, and thefunctional layer 140, thebase plate 110 and thecover 120 define a second sealed space. That is, thefunctional layer 140 is arranged around theside surface 103 of thecell string 100 and encloses thecell string 100 in the second sealed space. - The
functional layer 140 may be arranged close to a side surface of thecell string 100, or there may be a gap between thefunctional layer 140 and the side surface of thecell string 100; or there may be a separation layer between thefunctional layer 140 and theside surface 103 of thecell string 100. - Example Five: with reference to
FIG. 5 , there are corner junction regions between thefirst packaging layer 130 and thebase plate 110, and between thefirst packaging layer 130 and thecover plate 120, and thefunctional layer 140 is located at least in the corner junction regions. That is, thefunctional layer 140 covers a boundary between thefirst packaging layer 130 and thecover plate 120 and thebase plate 110. - Example Six: with reference to
FIG. 6 , thefunctional layer 140 is further located on an inner wall surface of thefirst packaging layer 130 facing thecell string 100. - Example Seven: with reference to
FIG. 7 , thefunctional layer 140 fills the first sealed space. At this time, thefunctional layer 140 completely covers thecell string 100, and thefunctional layer 140 has a great thickness and can perform sealing well. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , thefunctional layer 140 is converted into a solidified layer after absorbing moisture, and the solidified layer is glued to thebase plate 110, thefirst packaging layer 130 and thecover plate 120, thereby further improving sealing performance of the packaging structure. - To sum up, there is the
functional layer 140 in the first sealed space of the photovoltaic module in this embodiment. Thefunctional layer 140 can absorb moisture in the first sealed space, and can further be converted into a solidified layer after absorbing moisture to block intrusion of moisture, thereby prolonging service life of thecell string 100. - A second embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module substantially identical with the photovoltaic module provided in the first embodiment, but differs in that in this embodiment, a base plate may be a bearing board and a cell string includes a plurality of perovskite solar cells. In this embodiment, the first embodiment may be referred to for portions identical or similar to the photovoltaic module provided in the first embodiment, and content of the portions is not repeated.
FIGS. 8-14 are schematic diagrams showing structures of a photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment. - Detailed description is provided in the following with reference to the drawings.
- With reference to
FIGS. 8-14 , in this embodiment, the photovoltaic module includes: abase plate 210, a cell string 200 and acover plate 220 stacked in order; afirst packaging layer 230 located between thebase plate 210 and thecover plate 220 and surrounding the cell string 200, thefirst packaging layer 230, thebase plate 210 and thecover plate 220 defining a first sealed space; afunctional layer 240 located within the first sealed space. Thefunctional layer 240 is adaptive to absorb moisture and be converted into a solidified layer, and the solidified layer having a degree of cross linking greater than that of thefunctional layer 240. - In this embodiment, the
base plate 210 may be a bearing board and the cell string 200 includes a plurality of perovskite solar cells. That is, thebase plate 210 is adaptive to bear the cell string but does not have a function of collecting electrons. Thebase plate 210 may be glass or transparent plastic. - The cell string 200 includes a
conductive glass 202 and a perovskite solarcell film layer 201. As an anode of a perovskite solar cell, theconductive glass 202 is used for collecting electrons. - With reference to
FIGS. 8-13 , there is asecond packaging layer 270 between the cell string 200 and thebase plate 210. Thesecond packaging layer 270 may improve tightness of packaging. - It may be appreciated that the cell string 200 may be directly placed on the
base plate 210; or there may be a functional layer and/or a second packaging layer between the cell string 200 and thebase plate 210. - For technical solutions about a particular position of the
functional layer 240 in the first sealed space, the following examples are mainly included: - Example One: with reference to
FIG. 8 , theperovskite film layer 201 has afirst surface 206 away from the base plate, thefirst surface 206 including acentral region 208 and aperipheral region 207. Thefunctional layer 240 is attached to a side surface of theperovskite film layer 201, thefirst surface 206 of theperipheral area 207 and a side surface of theconductive glass 202. Theperovskite film layer 201 is arranged as being closely attached to theconductive glass 202, thus thefunctional layer 240 is further formed on the side surface of theconductive glass 202, thereby improving the tightness of the package. - Example Two: with reference to
FIG. 9 , the photovoltaic module further includes aseparation layer 260 located on the side surface of theperovskite film layer 201, thefirst surface 206 of theperipheral area 207 and the side surface of theconductive glass 202. Theseparation layer 260 is located between thefunctional layer 240 and the cell string 200. - Example Three: with reference to
FIG. 10 , thefunctional layer 240 is further located on thefirst surface 206 of thecentral region 208 of theperovskite film layer 201. - Example Four: with reference to
FIG. 11 , thefunctional layer 240 is arranged as surrounding thesecond packaging layer 270, theperovskite film layer 201 and theconductive glass 202. Thefunctional layer 240, thebase plate 210 and thecover plate 220 form a second sealed space. - Example Five: with reference to
FIG. 12 , thefunctional layer 240 is located at corner junction regions between thefirst packaging layer 230 and thecover plate 220, and between thefirst packaging layer 230 and thebase plate 210. - Example Six: with reference to
FIG. 13 , thefunctional layer 240 is further located on an inner wall surface of thefirst packaging layer 230 facing the cell string 200. - Example Seven: with reference to
FIG. 14 , thefunctional layer 240 fills the first sealed space. At this time, thefunctional layer 240 completely covers the cell string 200. - To sum up, the
base plate 210 of the photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment is a bearing board. Asecond packaging layer 270 or afunctional layer 240 may be provided between the bearing board and the cell string 200 to improve the tightness of the package. In addition, thefunctional layer 240 in the first sealed space can absorb moisture in the first sealed space, and can further be converted into a solidified layer after moisture absorption, preventing intrusion of moisture, thereby prolonging service life of the cell string 200. - A third embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module substantially identical with the photovoltaic module provided in the first embodiment and the second embodiment. The photovoltaic module includes: a base plate, a cover plate, a cell string, a first packaging layer, a second packaging layer and a functional layer. A main difference between this embodiment and previous embodiments lies in that the photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment includes a moisture detection layer. For identical or similar portions of the photovoltaic module between this embodiment and the first and second embodiments, the first and second embodiments may be referred to and the content is not repeated here.
FIGS. 15-16 are schematic diagrams showing structures of a photovoltaic module provided this embodiment. - With reference to
FIGS. 15-16 , abase plate 310 of a conductive base plate is taken as an example. It may be appreciated that thebase plate 310 may alternatively be a bearing board. There is no limitation to a base plate in this embodiment. - A
moisture detection layer 380 is located within a sealed space. It is detected and determined whether there is moisture in the sealed space through response information of themoisture detection layer 380. Therefore, when moisture enters the sealed space, themoisture detection layer 380 can detect the moisture quickly so that an operator may perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module according to the response information. - The response information may be color information or photoelectrical information. The color information is taken as an example. The response information includes a first response information and a second response information. The first response information is that color remains unchanged, i.e., no moisture enters the sealed space. The second response information is that the color changes, i.e., moisture enters the sealed space. Therefore, if the response information of the
moisture detection layer 380 is the second response information, the operator performs re-packaging on the photovoltaic module. - The
moisture detection layer 380 includes a moisture absorption color changeable layer, a moisture-sensitive resistor or a moisture-sensitive sensor. - The moisture absorption color changeable layer changes its color after absorbing moisture. According to the change state of color, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the sealed space. In addition, a particular position of the moisture may be determined according to a particular position of color change of the moisture absorption color changeable layer. Therefore, the operator may locate the position of the moisture and perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module in regard to the position where the moisture enters.
- Materials for the moisture absorption color changeable layer may be: copper sulfate, cobalt chloride, methylene amines or organic phenols.
- Resistance of the moisture-sensitive resistor may change after absorbing moisture, and based on the change, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the sealed space. In addition, a plurality of moisture-sensitive resistors may be arranged in the sealed space as separated from each other. A particular position of the moisture may be determined in regard to resistance changes of the moisture-sensitive resistors in different positions.
- The moisture-sensitive sensor may detect humidity change and convert the humidity to a signal to be sent out. Based on the signal, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the sealed space. In addition, a plurality of moisture-sensitive sensors may be arranged in the sealed space as separated from each other. A particular position of the moisture may be determined in regard to signals of the moisture-sensitive sensors in different positions.
- For positions of the
moisture detection layer 380 in the sealed space, the following examples are mainly included: - Example One: with reference to
FIG. 15 , amoisture detection layer 380 is located within a space defined by afirst packaging layer 330 and afunctional layer 340, and a coveringcover plate 320 faces an inner wall of the sealed space. In addition, acell string 300 is further covered with asecond packaging layer 370, and themoisture detection layer 380 is further located on thesecond packaging layer 370. - Example Two: with reference to
FIG. 16 , amoisture detection layer 380 is located on an inner wall of afirst packaging layer 330, and covers a corner junction region between thefirst packaging layer 330 and acover plate 320 and abase plate 310. In addition, acell string 300 is further covered with asecond packaging layer 370, and themoisture detection layer 380 is further located on a side wall of thesecond packaging layer 370. - It shall be noted that the
moisture detection layer 380 may further be located at another position in the sealed space. A position of themoisture detection layer 380 is not limited in this embodiment. - To sum up, the photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment has a moisture detection layer capable of detecting and locating moisture in a sealed space. Therefore, an operator may perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module according to response information of the moisture detection layer, so as to prevent a cell string from being damaged by moisture.
- A fourth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a manufacturing method for a photovoltaic module.
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a manufacturing method of a photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure. - With reference to
FIG. 17 andFIGS. 1-7 , at step S400, abase plate 110, acell string 100 and acover plate 120 are provided. Thecell string 100 is stacked on thebase plate 110. - In this embodiment, the
base plate 110 may be a conductive substrate, thecell string 100 is a perovskite solar cell film layer. Thecell string 100 is attached to the surface of thebase plate 110, thecell string 100 includes a plurality of perovskite solar cells, and the conductive substrate may be conductive glass of the plurality of perovskite solar cells. - In another embodiment, a base plate may be a bearing board, a cell string may include a plurality of perovskite solar cells, and the cell string includes a conductive substrate and a perovskite solar cell film layer. The cell string may be attached to the base plate, or a functional layer and/or second packaging layer may be arranged between the cell string and the base plate.
- It shall be noted that manufacturing of a photovoltaic module shall be performed in inert gas to prevent moisture in the outside from damaging the
cell string 100. - At step S401, a
first packaging layer 130 is formed on thebase plate 110 and around thecell string 100, and afunctional layer 140 is formed on thebase plate 110. - Before forming the
functional layer 140, the manufacturing method further includes: preprocessing the material for thefunctional layer 140 to improve adhesion of the material for thefunctional layer 140. A reason mainly lies in that the material for thefunctional layer 140 has a certain flowability before absorbing moisture, and the preprocessing on the material for thefunctional layer 140 may reduce the flowability of thefunctional layer 140, thereby improving evenness of thickness of thefunctional layer 140 and ensuring a result of a second packaging. - In particular, the material for the
functional layer 140 may be mixed with additives such as catalyst, filler and plasticizer into paste or half-solidified liquid in inert gas or vacuum. - A height of the
first packaging layer 130 is higher than a height of thecell string 100 in order to guarantee that thecell string 100 is in a space completely sealed after thecover plate 120 is placed. - It may be appreciated that an order of forming the
first packaging layer 130 and thefunctional layer 140 is not fixed, but need to be adjusted according to a particular position arranged for thefunctional layer 140. - For a technical solution for forming the
first packaging layer 130 and thefunctional layer 140, there may mainly be the following examples: - Example One: with reference to
FIGS. 1-4 and 7 , thefunctional layer 140 is formed earlier than thefirst packaging layer 130. - The
cell string 100 has afirst surface 101 and asecond surface 102 opposite to each other and aside surface 103 connecting thefirst surface 101 and thesecond surface 102, thefirst surface 101 is away from thebase plate 110, and thesecond surface 102 faces thebase plate 110. Thefirst surface 101 includes acentral region 105 and aperipheral region 104 surrounding thecenter region 105. - For a technical solution that the
functional layer 140 is formed earlier than thefirst packaging layer 130, there may mainly be the following examples: - In a first implementation, with reference to
FIG. 1 , a step of forming thefunctional layer 140 includes forming thefunctional layer 140 on theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of theperipheral region 104. That is, theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of theperipheral region 104 may be directly coated with the material for thefunctional layer 140. - In a second implementation, with reference to
FIG. 2 , before thefunctional layer 140 is formed, aseparation layer 160 may be formed on theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of theperipheral region 104. That is, theside surface 103 and thefirst surface 101 of theperipheral region 104 may be first coated with the material for theseparation layer 160. After theseparation layer 160 is formed, the surface of theseparation layer 160 may be coated with the material for thefunctional layer 140. - In a third implementation, with reference to
FIG. 3 , thefunctional layer 140 may further be formed on thefirst surface 101 of thecentral region 105, or theseparation layer 160 may be first formed on thefirst surface 101 of thecentral region 105, and then thefunctional layer 140 may be formed on theseparation layer 160 of thecentral region 105. - With further reference to
FIGS. 1-3 , after thefunctional layer 140 is formed, thecell string 100 may be coated around with the material for thefirst packaging layer 130 on thebase plate 110 to form thefirst packaging layer 130. - It shall be noted that before the
first packaging layer 130 is formed, asecond packaging layer 170 may be formed on thebase plate 110. In particular, thesecond packaging layer 170 is laid on thecell string 100, and thesecond packaging layer 170 shall completely cover thecell string 100 and thefunctional layer 140. - In a fourth implementation, with reference to
FIG. 4 , thesecond packaging layer 170 is formed on the first surface of thecell string 100. Thefunctional layer 140 is formed around thecell string 100 and thesecond packaging layer 170 on thebase plate 110. Thefirst packaging layer 130 is formed around thefunctional layer 140 on thebase plate 110. - In a fifth implementation, with reference to
FIG. 7 , the surface of thecell string 100 is coated with thefunctional layer 140, and thefirst packaging layer 130 is formed around thefunctional layer 140 on thebase plate 110. That is, thefunctional layer 140 fills a space formed by thefirst packaging layer 130. - Example Two: with reference to
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 , thefirst packaging layer 130 is formed earlier than thefunctional layer 140. - In a first implementation, with reference to
FIG. 5 , thefirst packaging layer 130 is first formed around thecell string 100 on thebase plate 110, and partial inner wall surface of thefirst packaging layer 130 facing thecell string 100 on thebase plate 110 is coated, i.e., only partial inner wall bordering with thebase plate 110 is coated. Then the inner wall bordering with thecover plate 120 is coated to form thefunctional layer 140. - In a second implementation, with reference to
FIG. 6 , thefirst packaging layer 130 is formed around thecell string 100 on thebase plate 110, and then the inner surface of thefirst packaging layer 130 facing thecell sting 100 is coated to form thefunctional layer 140. - It may be appreciated that before the
first packaging layer 130 is formed, thesecond packaging layer 170 may further be laid on thebase plate 110, thesecond packaging layer 170 covering thecell string 100 completely. - At step S402, the
cover plate 120 is placed on thecell string 100, so that thecover plate 120, thebase plate 110 and thefirst packaging layer 130 define a sealed space, thefunctional layer 140 is located within the sealed space. - At step S403, lamination is performed.
- A lamination temperature shall not be higher than 150° C., for which reasons are: firstly, high-temperature resistance of perovskite is poor; secondly, the material for the
functional layer 140 may be affected by a high temperature, resulting in cross linking, thereby degrading performance of moisture absorption. Therefore, a lamination temperature under 150° C. would ensure that performances of perovskite and thefunctional layer 140 are not damaged. - It may be appreciated that a packaging temperature may be determined according to particular materials for the
first packaging layer 130, thesecond packaging layer 170 and thefunctional layer 140. - To sum up, in this embodiment, steps of forming the
first packaging layer 130, thesecond packaging layer 170 and thefunctional layer 140 may be adjusted according to particular positions of thefirst packaging layer 130 and thefunctional layer 140, so that thefunctional layer 140 is located within a sealed space defined by thefirst packaging layer 130, thecover plate 120 and thebase plate 110, ensuring that thefunctional layer 140 is converted to a solidified layer after absorbing moisture, thereby improving packaging effect of the photovoltaic module. - A fifth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module substantially identical with the photovoltaic module provided in the previous embodiments, but a main difference lies in: in the fifth embodiment, because the functional layer is converted into a solidified layer after absorbing moisture, the photovoltaic module has a solidified layer rather than a functional layer. It may be appreciated that limitation on the position of the functional layer in the previous embodiments also applies to the solidified layer. A limitation on a particular position of the solidified layer is not stated in detail in the following to avoid repetition. In the following, the photovoltaic module provided in the fifth embodiment of the present disclosure is described with reference to the drawings.
- With reference to
FIG. 18 , in this embodiment, the photovoltaic module includes: abase plate 510, acell string 500 and acover plate 520 stacked in order; afirst packaging layer 530 located between thebase plate 510 and thecover plate 520 and surrounding thecell string 500, thefirst packaging layer 530, thebase plate 510 and thecover plate 520 defining a thirdsealed space 570; and a solidifiedlayer 540 located within the third sealedspace 570. A material for the solidifiedlayer 540 may be a material converted from a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material after absorbing moisture. - For particular description on the
base plate 510, thecell string 500, thecover plate 520 and thefirst packing layer 530, the previous embodiments may be referred to and is not repeated here. - Herein, the solidified
layer 540 is at least located between thefirst packing layer 530 and thecell string 500. For a particular position of the solidifiedlayer 540, the limitation on the position of the functional layer in the previous embodiments also applies to the solidifiedlayer 540. - In particular, the material for the solidified
layer 540 may either be a material converted from a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material after absorbing moisture, or a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material. In addition, degrees of cross linking vary in different regions of the solidifiedlayer 540. For example, a degree of cross linking of the solidifiedlayer 540 facing the cover plate and thefirst packaging layer 530 is greater than that of a region facing thecell string 500. The degrees of cross linking of the solidifiedlayer 540 may alternatively be identical in different regions. - In the photovoltaic module, the solidified
layer 540 may serve as a second packaging function on thecell string 500, which is advantageous for further improving tightness of the cell string. - A sixth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module. With reference to
FIGS. 19-27 , the photovoltaic module includes: abase plate 610, acell string 600 and acover plate 620 stacked in order; afirst packaging layer 630 located between thebase plate 610 and thecover plate 620 and surrounding thecell string 600, thefirst packaging layer 630, thebase plate 610 and thecover plate 620 defining a first sealed space; amoisture detection layer 640 located in the first sealed space. It is detected and determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space through response information of themoisture detection layer 640. - A further description is provided in details in the following with reference to the drawings.
- In this embodiment, the
base plate 610 may be a conductive substrate, and thecell string 600 may include a plurality of perovskite solar cells. That is, in this embodiment, thebase plate 610 can not only bear thecell string 600, but also can serve as an anode to collect electrons generated by thecell string 600 after light exposure. Thebase plate 610 may be fluorine-doped tin oxide conductive glass or indium tin oxide conductive glass. That is, thebase plate 610 may be taken as conductive glass of thecell string 600. - In this embodiment, the
cell string 600 is a perovskite solar cell film layer including such structures as a hole transport layer, a perovskite layer, an electron transport layer and a metal electrode. When exposed to sunlight, the perovskite layer first absorbs photons to generate electron-hole pairs. Un-recombined electrons and holes are separately collected by the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer. That is, the electrons are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the electron transport layer and finally collected by thebase plate 610; the holes are transmitted from the perovskite layer to the hole transport layer and finally collected by the metal electrode. At last, photocurrent is generated through a circuit connecting thebase plate 610 and the metal electrode. Because a perovskite material has a low carrier recombination probability and a high carrier transferring rate, a diffusion distance and a life of a carrier are relatively long. Therefore, the perovskite solar cell has a high photoelectric conversion efficiency. - In another embodiment, the cell string may further include such cell film layers as gallium arsenide, copper indium selenium or cadmium telluride layers.
- It may be appreciated that the
cell string 600 is of a cell structure formed by a plurality of solar cells connected in parallel or in series. - In this embodiment, the
cover plate 620 may be glass. In another embodiment, the cover plate may be transparent plastic. - The
first packaging layer 630 may be located between thebase plate 610 and thecover plate 620, surrounding thecell string 600. Thefirst packaging layer 630, thebase plate 610 and thecover plate 620 define a first sealed space. - A material for the
first packaging layer 630 may be a moisture-solidified material, a light-solidified material or an additive-curing material, for example, polyisobutylene, polyolefin or polyurethane. Because the perovskite solar cell is not resistant to a high temperature, temperature should not be too high during a lamination process of the photovoltaic module. If thefirst packaging layer 630 is a thermos-solidified material, it is difficult for the temperature during the lamination process to reach a temperature at which thefirst packaging layer 630 is solidified, thus thefirst packaging layer 630 may not be solidified completely, resulting in inadequate packaging. Therefore, the moisture-solidified material, the light-solidified material or the additive-curing material are used for thefirst packaging layer 630 to avoid the above problem. In this way, thefirst packaging layer 630 may be solidified well without a high temperature. - A width of the
first packaging layer 630 in a direction parallel to a surface of thebase plate 610 is 3 mm-500 mm. It shall be noted that if a width of thefirst packaging layer 630 is too small, it would be easy for a problem of inadequate packaging to occur; but if the width is too large, an area of the photovoltaic module would be increased. Therefore, the above two problems may be avoided if the width of thefirst packaging layer 630 is 3 mm-500 mm. - With reference to
FIGS. 19 to 24 and 26 to 27 , in this embodiment, the first sealed space may be further filled with asecond packaging layer 670. - The
second packaging layer 670 may further enhance sealing to avoid moisture intrusion. - A material for the
second packaging layer 670 differs from that of thefirst packaging layer 630, and may be an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film layer. - In another embodiment, the material for the
second packaging layer 670 may be identical with that of thefirst packaging layer 630. Alternatively, there may not be a second packaging layer in the first sealed space, i.e., there is a gap in the first sealed space. - The response information of the
moisture detection layer 640 may be color information or photoelectrical information. The color information is taken as an example. The response information includes a first response information and a second response information. The first response information is that color remains unchanged. The second response information is that color changes. If there is no moisture in the first sealed space, themoisture detection layer 640 sends out or displays the first response information. If a problem that packaging is not tight or a material ages occurs to thefirst packaging layer 630 or thesecond packaging layer 670, moisture enters the first sealed space, and the moisture detection layer sends out or displays the second response information. Therefore, an operator may determine whether there is moisture in the first sealed space according to the response information of themoisture detection layer 640. If there is moisture, the photovoltaic module is re-packaged, thereby preventing thecell string 600 from being decomposed or ceasing to be effective in moisture. - The
moisture detection layer 640 is further adaptive to locate a position where the moisture is located in the first sealed space. In particular, themoisture detection layer 640 may be arranged in different positions of the first sealed space, and the positions of the moisture may be located according to detection results at different positions of themoisture detection layer 640. - In this embodiment, the
moisture detection layer 640 includes a moisture absorption color changeable layer. The moisture absorption color changeable layer changes its color after absorbing moisture. According to the change state of color, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space. In addition, a particular position of the moisture may be determined according to a particular position of color change of the moisture absorption color changeable layer. Materials for the moisture absorption color changeable layer may be: copper sulfate, cobalt chloride, methylene amines or organic phenols. Take copper sulfate for example, the copper sulfate is grey-white before absorbing water, but is blue after absorbing water. Therefore, when the moisture absorption color changeable layer changes from white to blue, the operator may determine that there is moisture in the first sealed space and perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module. - In another embodiment, the
moisture detection layer 640 may further be a moisture-sensitive resistor or a moisture-sensitive sensor. Resistance of the moisture-sensitive resistor may change after absorbing moisture, and based on the change, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space. The moisture-sensitive sensor may convert humidity to a signal to be sent out. Based on the signal, it may be determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space. In addition, a plurality of moisture-sensitive resistors or moisture-sensitive sensors may be arranged in the first sealed space as separated from each other. A particular position of the moisture may be determined in regard to resistance value changes of the moisture-sensitive resistors or signal changes of the moisture-sensitive sensors in different positions. - Technical solutions for particular positions of the
moisture detection layer 640 in the first sealed space, the following examples are mainly included: - Example One: with reference to
FIG. 19 , thecell string 600 has afirst surface 601 and asecond surface 602 opposite each other, and aside surface 603 connecting thefirst surface 601 and thesecond surface 602, thefirst surface 601 is away from thebase plate 610, and thesecond surface 602 faces thebase plate 610; and thefirst surface 601 includes acentral region 605 and aperipheral region 604 surrounding thecentral region 605, and themoisture treatment layer 640 is located on theside surface 603 and on afirst surface 601 of theperipheral region 604; themoisture treatment layer 640 is attached to theside surface 603 and thefirst surface 601 of theperipheral region 604. - Example Two: with reference to
FIG. 20 , the photovoltaic module further includes aseparation layer 660 located on theside surface 603 and thefirst surface 601 of theperipheral region 604, and theseparation layer 660 is located between themoisture detection layer 640 and thecell string 600. - The
separation layer 660 can further improve tightness of the package, and theseparation layer 660 can also separate themoisture detection layer 640 from thecell string 600. If the material used for themoisture detection layer 640 may react with the material for thecell string 600, theseparation layer 660 can prevent themoisture detection layer 640 from having an adverse effect on thecell string 600 and improve life of thecell string 600. A material for theseparation layer 660 may be an EVA film. - Example Three: Example Three: with reference to
FIG. 21 , themoisture detection layer 640 is further located on thefirst surface 601 of thecentral region 605. That is, themoisture detection layer 640 is located on theside surface 603 and thefirst surface 601 of thecell string 600. Aseparation layer 660 is further included between themoisture detection layer 640 and thecell string 600. It may be appreciated that themoisture detection layer 640 can further be directly attached to theside surface 603 and thefirst surface 601 of thecell string 600, that is, there is noseparation layer 660 between themoisture detection layer 640 and thecell string 600. - Example Four: with reference to
FIG. 22 , themoisture detection layer 640 is arranged around thecell string 600, and themoisture detection layer 640, thebase plate 610 and thecover 620 define a second sealed space. That is, themoisture detection layer 640 is arranged around theside surface 603 of thecell string 600 and encloses thecell string 600 in the second sealed space. - The
moisture detection layer 640 may be arranged close to a side surface of thecell string 600, or there may be a gap between themoisture detection layer 640 and the side surface of thecell string 600; or there may be a separation layer between themoisture detection layer 640 and theside surface 603 of thecell string 600. - Example Five: with reference to
FIG. 23 , there are corner junction regions between thefirst packaging layer 630 and thebase plate 610, and between thefirst packaging layer 630 and thecover plate 620, and themoisture detection layer 640 is located at least in the corner junction regions. That is, themoisture detection layer 640 covers a boundary between thefirst packaging layer 630 and thecover plate 620 and thebase plate 610. - Example Six: with reference to
FIG. 24 , themoisture detection layer 640 is further located on an inner wall surface of thefirst packaging layer 630 facing thecell string 600. - Example Seven: with reference to
FIG. 25 , themoisture detection layer 640 fills the first sealed space. At this time, themoisture detection layer 640 completely covers thecell string 600, and themoisture detection layer 640 has a great thickness and can perform sealing well. - It shall be noted that in the Examples One to Seven, the
moisture detection layer 640 is at least located between thefirst packaging layer 630 and thecell string 600. If thefirst packaging layer 630 or thesecond packaging layer 670 is not packaged tightly or their packaging ages, a position between thefirst packaging layer 630 and thecell string 600 is the first position where moisture enters. Therefore, by arranging themoisture detection layer 640 between thefirst packaging layer 630 and thecell string 600, a speed of moisture detection can be increased. - Example Eight: with reference to
FIG. 26 , themoisture detection layer 640 is located between thecell string 600 and thecover plate 620. - Example Nine: with reference to
FIG. 27 , there are a plurality of separated moisture detection layers 640 in the first sealed space, and each of the moisture detection layers 640 is a moisture detection point. Therefore, by detecting moisture through a color change of each moisture detection point, a position of the moisture may be accurately determined. - To sum up, there is a
moisture detection layer 640 in the first sealed space of the photovoltaic module in this embodiment. It is detected and determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space through response information of themoisture detection layer 640. In addition, themoisture detection layer 640 may locate a particular position of the moisture in the first sealed space. Therefore, the operator may perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module according to the response information of themoisture detection layer 640, thereby preventing thecell string 600 from being decomposed and ceasing to work. - A seventh embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module substantially identical with the photovoltaic module provided in the sixth embodiment, but differs in that in this embodiment, a base plate is a bearing board and a cell string includes a plurality of perovskite solar cells. In this embodiment, the sixth embodiment may be referred to for portions identical or similar to the photovoltaic module provided in the six embodiment, and content of the portions is not repeated.
FIGS. 27-34 are schematic diagrams showing structures of a photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment. - Detailed description is provided in the following with reference to the drawings.
- With reference to
FIGS. 28-36 , the photovoltaic module includes: abase plate 710, acell string 700 and acover plate 720 stacked in order; afirst packaging layer 730 located between thebase plate 710 and thecover plate 720 and surrounding thecell string 700, thefirst packaging layer 730, thebase plate 710 and thecover plate 720 defining a first sealed space; amoisture detection layer 740 located in the first sealed space. It is detected and determined whether there is moisture in the first sealed space through response information of themoisture detection layer 740. - In this embodiment, the
base plate 710 is a bearing board and thecell string 700 includes a plurality of perovskite solar cells. That is, thebase plate 710 is adaptive to bear a cell string but does not have a function of collecting electrons. Thebase plate 710 may be glass or transparent plastic. - The
cell string 700 includes aconductive glass 702 and a perovskite solarcell film layer 701. As an anode of the perovskite solar cell, theconductive glass 702 is used for collecting electrons. - With reference to
FIGS. 28-34 , there is asecond packaging layer 770 between thecell string 700 and thebase plate 710. Thesecond packaging layer 770 may improve tightness of packaging. - It may be appreciated that the
cell string 700 may be directly placed on thebase plate 710; or that there may be a moisture detection layer and/or a second packaging layer between thecell string 700 and thebase plate 710. - For technical solutions about a particular position of the
moisture detection layer 740 in the first sealed space, the following examples are mainly included: - Example One: with reference to
FIG. 28 , theperovskite film layer 701 has afirst surface 706 away from thebase plate 710 and asecond surface 709 facing thebase plate 710, thefirst surface 706 including acentral region 708 and aperipheral region 707. Themoisture detection layer 740 is attached to a side surface of theperovskite film layer 701, thefirst surface 706 of theperipheral area 707 and a side surface of theconductive glass 702. Theperovskite film layer 701 is arranged as being closely attached to theconductive glass 702, thus themoisture detection layer 740 is further formed on the side surface of theconductive glass 702, thereby improving accuracy of moisture detection around theperovskite film layer 701. - Example Two: with reference to
FIG. 29 , the photovoltaic module further includes aseparation layer 760 located on the side surface of theperovskite film layer 701, thefirst surface 706 of theperipheral area 707 and the side surface of theconductive glass 702. Theseparation layer 760 is located between themoisture detection layer 740 and thecell string 700. - Example Three: with reference to
FIG. 30 , themoisture detection layer 740 is further located on thefirst surface 706 of thecentral region 708 of theperovskite film layer 701. - Example Four: with reference to
FIG. 31 , themoisture detection layer 740 is arranged as surrounding thesecond packaging layer 770, theperovskite film layer 701 and theconductive glass 702. Themoisture detection layer 740, thebase plate 710 and thecover plate 720 define a second sealed space. - Example Five: with reference to
FIG. 32 , themoisture detection layer 740 is located at corner junction regions between thefirst packaging layer 730 and thecover plate 720, and between thefirst packaging layer 730 and thebase plate 710. - Example Six: with reference to
FIG. 33 , themoisture detection layer 740 is further located on an inner wall surface of thefirst packaging layer 730 facing thecell string 700. - Example Seven: with reference to
FIG. 34 , there are a plurality of moisture detection layers 740 arranged separately in the first sealed space and each of the moisture detection layers 740 is a moisture detection point. Therefore, through color changes of moisture detection points in different positions, a particular position of the moisture may be accurately determined. - Example Eight: with reference to
FIG. 35 , themoisture detection layer 740 is located between thecell string 700 and thebase plate 710 to locate moisture here. It shall be noted that because light enters thecell string 700 at a side of thebase plate 710, themoisture detection layer 740 located between thebase plate 710 and thecell string 700 shall be high in light transparency rate, thereby avoiding the reduction of a light absorption rate of thecell string 700. - Example Nine: with reference to
FIG. 36 , themoisture detection layer 740 fills the first sealed space. At this time, themoisture detection layer 740 completely covers thecell string 700. - To sum up, the
base plate 710 of the photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment is a bearing board. Asecond packaging layer 770 may be provided between the bearing board and thecell string 700 to improve the tightness of the package. Themoisture detection layer 740 may be arranged between the bearing board and thecell string 700, so as to locate moisture here, thereby prompting an operator to perform re-packaging on the photovoltaic module. - An eighth embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module substantially identical with the photovoltaic module provided in the sixth embodiment and the seventh embodiment. The photovoltaic module includes: a base plate, a cover plate, a cell string, a first packaging layer, a second packaging layer and a moisture detection layer. A main difference between this embodiment and previous embodiments lies in that the photovoltaic module provided in this embodiment includes a functional layer. For identical or similar portions of the photovoltaic module between this embodiment and the sixth and seventh embodiments, the sixth and seventh embodiments may be referred to and the content is not repeated here.
FIGS. 37-38 are schematic diagrams showing structures of a photovoltaic module provided this embodiment. - With reference to
FIGS. 37-38 , abase plate 810 of a conductive substrate is taken as an example. It may be appreciated that thebase plate 810 may be a bearing board. There is no limitation to a base plate in this embodiment. - A
functional layer 880 is located within a sealed space. Thefunctional layer 880 is adaptive to absorb moisture in the sealed space and be converted into a solidified layer having a degree of cross linking greater than a degree of cross linking of the functional layer. If either thefirst packaging layer 830 or thesecond packaging layer 870 is not packaged adequately or has aged material, thefunctional layer 880 may absorb moisture and be converted into a solidified layer. That is, thefunctional layer 880 may perform packaging on thecell string 800 for a second time, thereby preventing thecell string 800 from being decomposed or ceasing to be effective in moisture. - The degree of cross linking is further called cross linking index or cross linking density, and may be used to represent a degree of cross linking of a molecular chain. In particular, the degree of cross linking density refers to a fraction taken by a cross-linked structural unit of an entire structural unit. The degree of cross linking is proportional with the amount of cross link bonds: the greater the degree of cross linking, the more cross link bonds in a unit volume and the greater the cross linking density.
- In this embodiment, a material for the
functional layer 880 may be a hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material that can absorb moisture entering into the sealed space and that may have a cross-linking reaction after absorbing moisture. In this way, viscosity and compactness of the material are increased, and the second packaging may be performed. - The hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material may be silane modified polyurethane or silicone. In addition, the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material may be either a single-component hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material or a double-component hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material.
- In another embodiment, apart from the hydrolyzable and crosslinkable material, materials for the functional layer may further include a material that is already hydrolyzed and cross-linked.
- For silane-modified polyurethane, a prepolymer thereof has an aminosilane end cap, and the prepolymer reacting with external moisture may produce a cross-linked network structure. In addition, an organic functional silane has multiple functions. Firstly, the silane acts as an adhesion promoter to improve bonding; secondly, in a crosslinking process, the silane can accelerate a reaction.
- For silicone, a main polymer chain thereof is composed of silicon-oxygen-silicon bonds, and does not contain a structure that may be polymerized by heating. That is, even at a high temperature, silicone is not prone to polymerize. Therefore, in subsequent use or packaging, silicone is not easily affected by temperature and can maintain good moisture absorption and crosslinking properties.
- It may be appreciated that different hydrolyzable and crosslinkable materials for the
functional layer 880 may enable thefunctional layer 880 to have different reactions internally when the functional layer is converting to a solidified layer. For example, thefunctional layer 880 may have a hydrolysis reaction, a polycondensation reaction, a cross-linking reaction, or an oligomerization reaction and the like. For example, when the material for thefunctional layer 880 is silane-modified polyurethane, thefunctional layer 880 undergoes a cross-linking reaction, and the number of Si—O—Si bonds in the solidified layer is greater than the number of Si—O—Si bonds in thefunctional layer 880. In another example, the compactness of the solidified layer may further be greater than the compactness of the functional layer. - In addition, it shall further be noted that the
functional layer 880 absorbs moisture in the sealed space and is converted into a solidified layer, including: a partial region of thefunctional layer 880 absorbs moisture to be converted into a solidified layer. Alternatively, all of thefunctional layer 880 absorbs moisture to be converted into a solidified layer. - For technical solutions about a particular position of the
