Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of devices for converting solar energy into electrical energy for industrial or domestic application, comprising or consisting of photovoltaic modules. More particularly, the invention relates to the field of photovoltaic devices or modules incorporating concentrators, in the form of a textured substrate for concentrating and guiding the incident light to the photovoltaic cells enabling said conversion.
- Solar energy is now considered a source of clean energy that can in some cases be an alternative to fossil fuels.
- the photovoltaic energy market in the industrial and domestic sector has been experiencing very high growth rates for several years.
- global output of modules was about 2.1 GW (gigawatts), which is equivalent to about 15.5 million m 2 of modules (for a standard crystalline silicon module).
- the estimated growth rate for 2007 is 26%, after being 23% in 2006 and 41% in 2005.
- the total amount of energy generated by the device is of course directly proportional to the surface covered by the device, and more specifically by the cumulative area covered by all the photovoltaic cells incorporated in the conversion system.
- the amount of energy but also the cost of the investment are currently directly proportional to the size of the installation.
- the main element that currently limits even higher growth is the shortage of silicon used in the manufacture of photovoltaic cells, whose solar energy market is the largest market.
- this shortage explains to a large extent that the cost of a current installation no longer increases essentially according to the overall size of the installation, but especially according to the part covered by the photovoltaic cells themselves.
- an approach already described consists in producing solar modules of large surface integrating a texture substrate that allows the concentration of light on smaller surface cells.
- the introduction of light concentrators makes it possible to substantially reduce the surface area of the photovoltaic cells, thereby reducing the overall cost of the installation. .
- Patent application WO2006 / 133126 or US2006 / 272698 discloses possible embodiments of a textured substrate acting as a light concentrator.
- a photovoltaic module 1 is formed of a series of elementary photovoltaic cells 4 in the form of strips bonded to a glass substrate 5.
- the substrate 5 has a texturing 7 of the two-dimensional type, as shown in FIG. 1a, configured to allow the trapping of light. More particularly, the texturing 7 may be described as consisting of a succession of triangular prisms 8, parallel to each other and whose end is truncated, so that the substrate has, on its inner side, a flat strip 11 whose surface corresponds to that of the photovoltaic strip 4 placed opposite.
- the operating principle is easily understood if we consider the trajectory of the rays 2 and 2 ', as shown in FIG. 1b.
- the two rays are refracted at the air-glass interface 6.
- the refracted ray 2 arrives directly on the photovoltaic cell 4, while the radius 2 'undergoes a total internal reflection, in point 3, before reaching the cell 4.
- the person skilled in the art thus easily understands that the rays having angles of incidence that are even relatively high relative to the normal to the surface of the substrate 5 will nevertheless be collected by the photovoltaic cells, which induces a concentration of light, within the meaning of the present invention.
- a concentration factor can also be easily calculated, corresponding to the ratio between the spacing between two successive texturations and the width of the photovoltaic cells, that is to say the width 9 of the strip 11.
- the term "spacing" according to the present invention corresponds to the pitch of the texturing pattern, or to the distance between the median positions of two successive cells.
- the angle of reception of the light rays can be substantially increased by using a texturing in the form whose reliefs are comparable to those described in relation to Figure 1 but whose rounded sides 20, as shown in FIG. 2. Parabolic flanks appeared very effective for trapping light.
- a mineral glass has many advantages, in particular as regards the behavior over time, for its high resistance to temperature or UV for example. A glass with a low iron content is preferred to minimize absorption.
- Albarino® glass from Saint-Gobain Glass.
- the method of manufacturing the textured substrate is a problem. Indeed, it is immediately conceivable, according to the representation described in Figures 1 and 2, that during the manufacture of the photovoltaic module 1, the photovoltaic cells shown in these figures in the form of strips 4 must be placed with the greatest precision strips 11 on the entire surface of the module 1. In addition, due to a share of the production costs and secondly the need to achieve and verify, before the assembly of the substrate 5, all the electrical connections. necessary for the proper functioning of the module, the manufacturing process requires that the bonding of all the photovoltaic strips 4 on the strips 11 facing the textured substrate is done in a single step. Under these conditions, it is therefore conceivable that the substrate 11 must have a very precisely defined and regular texturing, not only at the widths 9 of the strips 11, which must correspond exactly to those of the strips 4, but also at the spacings 10 between two successive textures.
- the most conventionally used method for the manufacture of large glass substrate consists of a rolling process, the principle of which is illustrated in FIG. 3, in which the molten glass 30, drawn on a refractory 33, is formed by the passage through metal rollers 32 and 34.
- the glass has a temperature of about 1200 0 C before forming and about 850 0 C output of the rolling machine.
- a conventional technique is to use rolls having the negative of the pattern or texturing that is desired on the glass.
- These texturing techniques are notably known in the field of decorated glass or else in the field of photovoltaic devices, for example in the publication EP 1774372.
- the rollers may have an etching on the upper and / or lower face. As is well known, the glass is then stretched and sent to a lehr.
- FIG. 4a illustrates a conventional roll model 40 having a constant spacing d between two texturing patterns 41 and 42.
- These texturing patterns are constituted for example by a set of reliefs or excrescences, for example of prismatic shapes, present on the surface of the roller 40 and parallel to each other.
- the reliefs typically make it possible to obtain, on the internal face of the substrate 5, the texturing 7 described above in relation to FIGS. 1 or 2.
- FIG. 4b a photovoltaic substrate obtained by such a method is shown.
- the object of the present invention thus consists of a method making it possible to solve the problems previously described, and consists in particular of a method making it possible to obtain a glass substrate having texturing whose accuracy is improved.
- Such an improvement has the effect of ensuring during manufacture of a photovoltaic module, particularly on an industrial scale, a sufficiently precise assembly of said substrate with the photovoltaic cells placed under said texturing.

- said printing means comprise at least one roller having reliefs whose spacing is different from the distance d between two rows of grooves on the glass substrate.
- the spacing between two successive reliefs on the printing means is not constant.
- the spacing between two successive reliefs on the printing roll is minimal in the middle of the roll and maximum at its ends.
- the increase in the spacing between two successive reliefs from the middle of the roll towards its ends is progressive and follows a parabolic law or a higher order polynomial law.
- the invention also relates to the glass substrate for photovoltaic application, having a texturing whose accuracy is improved by the use of a manufacturing method as previously discussed.
- the invention relates to a glass substrate for photovoltaic application that can be obtained by such a method and having on at least one of its main faces texturing in the form of at least one row of parallel grooves between them spaced apart by an average regular distance d, said substrate being characterized in that, in the direction of texturing, the maximum gap between the position of a groove n and its theoretical position nxd is less than 10% of said average distance d. Preferably said maximum deviation is less than 5% or even 2% of said average distance.
- the glass substrate for photovoltaic application according to the invention has for example on at least one of its main faces a texturing in the form of at least one row of grooves parallel to each other spaced apart by a mean regular distance d and is characterized in that, in the texturing direction, the dispersion around the average value is less than 2% of said distance d and preferably less than 1% of said distance d.
- the invention also relates to a substrate having such texturing on its two main faces.
- the performance of the module can be further improved.
- a photovoltaic module has been obtained for the first time with sufficient accuracy according to the present invention, comprising a glass substrate having a texturing on its two main faces, the texturations of the inner face and the outer face being configured and disposed relative to each other to contribute to an increase in the concentration factor of the incident solar radiation to the areas of said inner face of said substrate in contact with which are arranged the photovoltaic cells in said module.

- said textures on the inner and outer face should preferably be configured and arranged precisely with respect to each other, to compete together in a further increase in the concentration factor of the light.
- the texturations present on the inner and outer faces of the glass substrate are arranged along orthogonal lines. In this case, the tests carried out by the applicant have shown that a precise arrangement of said textures on the inner and the outer face with respect to each other is not necessarily necessary to obtain the effect of further increase of the factor. of concentration of light.

- the glass used is an Albarino® glass sold by Saint-Gobain.
- FIG. 12 the square markers illustrate the periodicity of the grooves observed on the substrate finally obtained when the distance d between two reliefs on the roll is constant and equal to 4 mm,
- the triangular markings illustrate the periodicity of the grooves observed on the substrate finally obtained when the distance d n + 1 between two successive reliefs n and n + 1 on the roll is not constant and increases according to a parabolic law corresponding to the formula:
- the data shown in FIG. 12 show that the periodicity between two successive grooves on the finally obtained texture glass substrate decreases continuously as a function of the distance of said grooves with respect to the center of the substrate, in the direction of said texturing.
- Such a continuous reduction causes, on the most peripheral part of the substrate, a complete offset of the texturing which leads on the one hand to make very imprecise or even impossible a process of industrial assembly of the photovoltaic cells on the textured substrate and other
- the distance between the successive patterns has a very small dispersion.
- this dispersion around the desired value of the spacing between two successive grooves is less than 2% of said distance, preferably less than 1% of said distance and of very preferred way is less than 0.5% of said distance.
- the dispersion is much less than 1% of the average distance d between two successive grooves.
