Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a solar cell, a printing mask, a solar cell, and a solar cell module.
- solar cells constituting solar cell modules are mainly provided with electrodes on each of a front surface that is a light receiving surface of a substrate material such as silicon and a back surface on the opposite side.
- a front surface that is a light receiving surface of a substrate material such as silicon
- a back surface on the opposite side.
- solar cells in which electrodes are formed only on the back surface of both surfaces have been put into practical use, but solar cells in which electrodes are formed on both surfaces are still widely used.
- Patent Document 1 the following procedure is adopted when manufacturing a solar cell. First, a reflection structure of sunlight on the surface of a substrate material such as silicon is changed, and a texture structure (unevenness) for taking the reflected light into the substrate is formed by a technique such as etching. Next, a pn bond is formed by a technique such as diffusion. Next, an antireflection film for reducing the reflection of sunlight by a light interference effect is formed on at least one surface of the substrate material using a silicon nitride film or the like. Next, a metal paste is applied in a desired pattern on the antireflection film.
- firing is performed to form an electrode.
- the substrate material is immersed in an etching solution having a property of dissolving the glass component to dissolve the glass component contained in the electrode, thereby reducing the electrical resistance of the electrode.
- Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 disclose a method for manufacturing a solar cell having electrodes on both the front surface side and the back surface side of a substrate material.
- a printing mask used for screen printing is a material to be printed by fixing a base material called a screen mesh made of metal thread or chemical fiber to a mask frame, and fixing the part other than the part that allows metal paste to pass through with resin. Used for patterning.
- a metal paste material used as an electrode material is usually made of silver as a conductive metal, but it is very expensive.
- simply reducing the amount of electrode material used increases the resistance loss at the electrode and reduces the power generation efficiency of the solar cell. Therefore, it is required to reduce the amount of metal paste used without reducing the power generation efficiency of the solar cell.
- the grid electrode for collecting the current on the surface side of the solar cell since the portion where the grid electrode is arranged does not generate power, it is desirable that the grid electrode width is narrow. However, since the electrical resistance increases and the resistance loss increases only by reducing the electrode width, it is desirable that the grid electrode is thicker. As the thickness of the grid electrode is increased, the resistance loss is reduced and the power generation efficiency of the solar cell is improved.
- the electrode thickness is determined by mask specifications such as the screen mesh wire diameter and opening width.
- the specification is expressed using the number of yarns per inch (25.4 mm) used for the screen mesh (hereinafter referred to as mesh count) and the wire diameter of the yarns.
- mesh count the number of yarns per inch used for the screen mesh
- 200 yarns per inch and a yarn having a wire diameter of 40 ⁇ m are expressed as “200 ⁇ 40”. Therefore, the larger the number, the finer the mesh, and the relatively smaller the wire diameter.
- the screen mesh is attached to the mask frame so that the warp or weft of the screen mesh is inclined 20 to 30 degrees with respect to the grid electrode pattern. This is because when the grid electrode pattern and the yarn are parallel, the pattern edge is covered with the yarn, so that a precise electrode pattern cannot be formed.
- the bus electrode of the solar cell is soldered to the back bus electrode of the adjacent solar cell with a soldered copper wire and connected in series.
- the bus electrode refers to a bus electrode on the surface side.
- the electrode on the back side bus is described as the back bus electrode.
- bus electrode for soldering and connecting the solar cells with a soldered copper wire requires a bonding strength by soldering, there is a limit to reducing the bus electrode width. Therefore, in order to reduce the amount of metal paste used in the bus electrode, it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the bus electrode.
- the bus electrode thickness is determined by mask specifications such as the screen mesh wire diameter and opening width as in the case of the grid electrode, if the grid electrode thickness is increased in order to improve power generation efficiency, the bus electrode thickness is increased. It will also be thicker. In the bus electrode, since the collected current flows on the soldered copper wire soldered on the bus electrode, increasing the thickness of the bus electrode does not reduce the resistance loss and does not improve the power generation efficiency. .
- the bus electrode when the grid electrode is increased in thickness to improve the power generation efficiency of the solar cell, the bus electrode is also increased in thickness, which increases the amount of metal paste used.
- the thickness of the bus electrode is reduced in order to reduce the amount of metal paste used, the thickness of the grid electrode is also reduced, and the power generation efficiency of the solar cell is greatly reduced.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above, and is manufactured by a solar cell manufacturing method capable of manufacturing a solar cell having high power generation efficiency at low cost, a printing mask used in the manufacturing method, and a manufacturing method thereof. It aims at obtaining a solar cell and a solar cell module provided with an electrode.
- a method for manufacturing a solar cell according to the present invention includes a printing mask having an opening corresponding to an electrode shape having a bus electrode portion and a grid electrode portion.
- a method of manufacturing a solar cell including a screen printing step of applying a paste containing a conductive material as an electrode material to an electrode forming surface of a substrate, wherein the screen printing step is knitted by twisting two constituent yarns
- a screen mesh formed by using a twisted yarn as at least one of warp and weft includes the step of applying the paste using the printing mask provided in the opening.
