Abstract
Description
本発明の一実施の形態が適用された薄膜太陽電池1は、図1A、図1Bに示すように、複数の太陽電池セル2がコンタクトラインによって接続された太陽電池ストリングを構成する。このストリング構造を有する薄膜太陽電池1は、例えば図2に示すように、表面カバー5となるガラス基板上に形成され、裏面側に封止接着剤のシート3及びバックシート4が積層され、一括してラミネートされる。その後、適宜、周囲にアルミニウムなどの金属フレーム7が取り付けられた後、バックシート4上に薄膜太陽電池1から集電した電気を取り出す端子ボックス8が設けられることにより太陽電池モジュール6が形成される。
薄膜太陽電池1は、透光性絶縁基板10上に、図示は省略しているが、透明導電膜からなる透明電極膜、光電変換層、裏面電極膜がこの順に積層されて形成され、透光性絶縁基板10側から光を入射させるスーパーストレート型の太陽電池である。なお、薄膜太陽電池には、基材、裏面電極、光電変換層、透明電極の順で形成されたサブストレート型太陽電池もある。以下では、スーパーストレート型の薄膜太陽電池1を例に説明するが、後述するように、本技術は、サブストレート型の薄膜太陽電池に用いることもできる。
正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16は、図3に示すように、導電体20と、導電体20の一面20a(第1の面)に設けられフラックスと防錆機能を有する液体とを混合してなる第1の層21と、導電体20の他面20b(第2の面)に設けられた接着剤22からなる第2の層23とを有する。第2の層23は、薄膜太陽電池1に形成されたP型電極端子部11及びN型電極端子部12と、正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16それぞれの同導電体20とを接続するものである。
第1の層21は、フラックスと防錆機能を有する液体とを混合し、導電体20の一面20aに全面に亘って塗布することにより形成される。即ち、第1の層はフラックス成分と防錆成分とを有している。フラックスとしては、例えば無鉛ハンダ用フラックスを用いることができる。防錆機能を有する液体としては、例えば顔料系カーボンブラック入り墨インクやフッ素樹脂系インク等の防錆インクを用いることができる。
また、フラックスと、防錆インクとの固形分における配合比は、(フラックス):(防錆インク)=1:3~3:1であることが好ましく、特に(フラックス):(防錆インク)=1:1~2:1または(フラックス):(防錆インク)=1:1~1:2であることがより好ましい。フラックス成分、防錆成分が含まれていれば、フラックス、防錆インク以外のものを用いてもよく、フラックス成分と、防錆成分との固形分における配合比が(フラックス成分):(防錆成分)=1:3~3:1であればよい。
また、第1の層21の厚さは、1μm~10μmであることが好ましく、1μm~8μmの範囲がより好ましく、3μm~5μmの範囲が特に好ましい。第1の層21の厚さが厚くなるにつれて接続抵抗が上昇し、逆に厚さが薄くなるにつれて耐腐食性や外観が劣化する傾向がある。
次いで、第2の層23について説明する。第2の層23を構成する接着剤22は、正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16をP型電極端子部11及びN型電極端子部12にそれぞれ接続するためのものであり、導電性接着ペーストや導電性接着フィルムを用いることができる。第2の層23は、導電体20の他面20bに、導電性接着ペーストを塗布し、あるいは導電性接着フィルムを貼着することにより形成される。
接着剤22は、図4に示すように、熱硬化性のバインダー樹脂層25に導電性粒子26が高密度に含有されてなる。また、接着剤22では、押し込み性の観点から、バインダー樹脂の最低溶融粘度が、100~100000Pa・sであることが好ましい。接着剤22は、最低溶融粘度が低すぎると低圧着から本硬化の過程で樹脂が流動してしまい接続不良やセル受光面へのはみ出しが生じやすく、受光率低下の原因ともなる。また、最低溶融粘度が高すぎてもフィルム貼着時に不良を発生しやすく、接続信頼性に悪影響が出る場合もある。なお、最低溶融粘度については、サンプルを所定量回転式粘度計に装填し、所定の昇温速度で温度を上昇させながら測定することができる。
トリガーには、熱、光および加圧などがあり、用途により選択して用いることができる。なかでも、本実施の形態では、加熱硬化型の潜在性硬化剤が好適に用いられ、P型電極端子部11やN型電極端子部12に加熱押圧されることにより本硬化される。液状エポキシ樹脂を使用する場合は、イミダゾール類、アミン類、スルホニウム塩およびオニウム塩などからなる潜在性硬化剤を使用することができる。
なお、接着剤22は、導電性ペーストを用いる以外にも、導電性接着フィルムを用い、導電体20の他面20bに貼着してもよい。導電性接着フィルム28は、図5に示すように、ベースフィルム29上にバインダー樹脂層25が積層され、導電体20と同様にテープ状に成形されている。ベースフィルム29としては、特に制限はなく、PET(Poly Ethylene Terephthalate)、OPP(Oriented Polypropylene)、PMP(Poly-4-methlpentene-1)、PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene)などを用いることができる。
次いで、正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16の製造工程について説明する。先ず、導電体20となる例えば厚さ50~300μmの銅箔やアルミ箔等の金属箔を準備する。なお、金属箔の具体的な製造方法としては、金属を圧延させる方法や電解メッキにより金属を析出させる方法などが例示される。この金属箔の一面(シャイニー面)に、ワイヤーバー等によりフラックスと防錆インクとが混合された液体を塗布した後、これを乾燥させることにより第1の層21を形成する。次いで、この金属箔の他面(マット面)に、ワイヤーバー等により導電性接着ペーストを塗布した後、これを乾燥し、あるいは導電性接着フィルム28をこれらに積層して一体化させることにより接着剤22からなる第2の層23を形成する。
このような正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16は、図6に示すように、P型電極端子部11及びN型電極端子部12に、接着剤22を介してそれぞれ接続され各電極端子部(P型電極端子部11,N型電極端子部12)より集電する集電タブ部30と、端子ボックス8まで延在され端子ボックス8の接続端子と接続される接続タブ部31とを有する。集電タブ部30と接続タブ部31とは、折り曲げ部32を介して連続している。
接続タブ部31は、正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16の他方の端部と折り曲げ部32との間の部分である。この接続タブ部31は、薄膜太陽電池1の表面に沿って延在するとともに封止接着剤のシート3やバックシート4(図2)を貫通して、バックシート4上に配置された端子ボックス8の接続端子へと導かれ、その先端部分が、導電体20の一面20aに形成された第1の層21を介して、端子ボックス8の接続端子とハンダ接続される。
ここで、本実施の形態の太陽電池モジュール6によって得られる効果について、参考例と比較しながら、より詳細に説明する。
更に、本実施の形態の太陽電池モジュール6における正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16では、接続タブ部31の第1の層21に絶縁性を付与するようにした場合には、絶縁フィルム35を用いることなく、接続タブ部31と薄膜太陽電池1の電極膜とのショートを防止することができる。このため、リール27より引き出された正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16のいずれの部位においても、薄膜太陽電池1表面の各電極端子部(P型電極端子部11,N型電極端子部12)への接続に供することができる。
また、正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16は、図8に示すように、複数のタブ線が接続されることにより構成されていてもよい。すなわち、正極用タブ線15及び負極用タブ線16は、P型電極端子部11やN型電極端子部12に接続される集電タブ線36と、一端が集電タブ線36に接続され、他端が端子ボックス8の接続端子に接続される接続タブ線37とにより構成されるようにしてもよい。
また、接続タブ線37は、絶縁フィルム35を介して薄膜太陽電池1の表面に延在されるとともに封止接着材やバックシート4を挿通して、バックシート4上に配置されている端子ボックス8の接続端子と接続される。接続タブ線37の先端は、導電体20の一面20aに形成された第1の層21を介して、端子ボックス8の接続端子にハンダ接続される。
