Abstract
Description
従来の太陽電池バックシートにおいては、太陽電池セル同士の間を通過した光を太陽電池バックシートで反射させ、セルに取り込むことにより太陽電池モジュールの効率を向上させる技術が開発されている。具体的に、基材表面に白色ビーズと白色バインダーにより反射層を形成し、モジュール効率を向上させる技術や、空洞を含む層を形成することにより高反射の太陽電池バックシートを提供する技術(特許文献4、5参照)が提案されている。
以下本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムについて説明する。
ここで(Sc/Scs)と(Sc/Scs’)のいずれもが、1.1以上35以下の範囲にあると、太陽電池バックシート用フィルムの両表面で密着性が優れるため、例えば本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムの片面を他の部材フィルムと張り合わせて、もう片面を太陽電池セルに直接、張り合わせるような構成においても、フィルム両表面で優れた密着性が得られることからより好ましい。
ここで用いる無機粒子としては、例えば、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、炭酸亜鉛、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛、酸化セリウム、酸化マグネシウム、硫酸バリウム、硫化亜鉛、リン酸カルシウム、アルミナ、マイカ、雲母、タルク、クレー、カオリン、フッ化リチウム、およびフッ化カルシウムなどが挙げられる。更にこれらの中でもポリエステル樹脂との加工が容易な観点から、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、酸化チタン、酸化亜鉛、硫酸バリウムが好ましく、太陽電池バックシート用フィルムの耐紫外線性を同時に高められる観点から酸化チタンがより好ましい。また酸化チタンとしては、例えばアナタース型酸化チタンおよびルチル型酸化チタンのような結晶型の酸化チタンを挙げることができる。用いられるポリエステルとの屈折率の差を大きくするという観点からは、屈折率が2.7以上の酸化チタンであることが好ましく、同時に耐紫外線性により優れる観点から、ルチル型酸化チタンを用いることが更に好ましい。
すなわち、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムは、前記の空洞を有するポリエステルフィルムを構成するポリエステル樹脂組成物に無機粒子を含有させることで、出力向上性をより高めることができる。
なお、P2層の空隙率(Ps)およびP2’層の空隙率(Ps’)のいずれか一方のみが5.0%以下を満たすフィルムである場合は、本発明の効果を期待する太陽電池セル側に上記範囲をみたすP2層あるいはP2’層を位置させることにより、より密着性を高めることができる。
本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムの表層に前記の耐紫外線性を有する無機粒子を含有するP2層あるいはP2’層を有する構成は出力向上効果と、太陽電池セルに当たる紫外線による太陽電池バックシート用フィルムの変色を抑制するといった耐紫外線性を両立することができるためより好ましい形態といえる。またP2層とP2’層を構成する樹脂組成物の両方に無機粒子を有する積層構成は、前記の太陽電池セル側の耐紫外線性の効果を、太陽電池の背面に当たる紫外線の反射光に対しても発揮することが可能となり、更に好ましい形態といえる。
本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムが前記のP2層および/またはP2’層を有する構成をとる場合、P1層の厚みをT1(μm)、P2層の厚みをT2(μm)、P2’層の厚みをT2’(μm)、P2層を構成する樹脂組成物に含まれる無機粒子濃度をW2(質量%)、P2’層を構成する樹脂組成物に含まれる無機粒子濃度をW2’(質量%)としたとき、(T2/T1)×W2、(T2‘/T1)×W2’のうち少なくとも一方が0.35以上1.50以下を満たすことが好ましい。より好ましくは、0.75以上1.40以下であり、さらに好ましくは0.90以上1.20以下である。
次に、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムの製造方法について例を挙げて説明する。これは一例であり、本発明は、かかる例によって得られる物のみに限定して解釈されるものではない。
ここで本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムはキャストドラム温度を30以上80℃以下で冷却することが好ましく、より好ましくは40℃以上70℃以下、更に好ましくは45℃以上60℃以下である。キャストドラムの温度を30℃未満の場合、溶融押出されたフィルムの冷却速度が速すぎて、ポリエステルフィルムの(Sc/Scs)あるいは(Sc/Scs’)が小さくなり好ましい範囲を外れる場合がある。一方でキャストドラムの温度が80℃を超えると、ポリエステル樹脂の結晶化が進行しすぎて延伸時に破れが発生する場合がある。
次に、本発明の太陽電池バックシートについて説明する。本発明の太陽電池バックシートは、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムと少なくとも1層以上の機能層を有する太陽電池バックシートであることが重要である。中でも、後述する測定方法により求められる太陽電池バックシートのカール高さが10mm以下であることが好ましく、5mm以下であることがより好ましい。太陽電池バックシートのカール高さを10mm以下とすることで、カールによって発生する位置ずれやセル割れの発生率が減少し、太陽電池の生産性を向上することが可能となる。
なお、太陽電池バックシート用フィルムのヤング率を上記の範囲とする方法は特に制限されるものではないが、以下の方法などで調整することができる。例えば、太陽電池バックシート用ポリエステルフィルム中の空隙率を高くしたり、製膜時の延伸倍率を低くすると、太陽電池バックシート用フィルムのヤング率は低くなる傾向にある。また、太陽電池バックシート用ポリエステルフィルム中の空隙率を低くしたり、製膜時の延伸倍率を高くすると、太陽電池バックシート用フィルムのヤング率は高くなる傾向にある。また、太陽電池バックシートのヤング率は、太陽電池バックシートに用いる太陽電池バックシート用フィルムのヤング率が高いと高くなり、低いと低くなる傾向がある。それ以外にも、太陽電池バックシート用フィルムに積層する層のヤング率により調整することができる。
ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、エチレンビニルアセテート共重合体のうちの少なくとも1つ、あるいは複数の組み合わせを含む層を機能層として本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムと積層する方法は、特に限られるものではないが、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムに直接積層する方法や、本発明の効果を阻害しない範囲で、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムと機能層を接着剤などを介して積層する方法が挙げられる。
PVF、PVDF、ETFE、FEPのうちの少なくとも1つ、あるいは複数の組み合わせを含む層を機能層とする場合、機能層の厚みは25μm以上、125μm以下であることが好ましく、25μm以上75μm以下であることがより好ましい。当該層の厚みを25μm以上とすることで耐候性が向上し、125μm以下とすることで太陽電池バックシートの加工性が向上する。
ポリウレタンを含む層を機能層とする場合、機能層の厚みは1μm以上、20μm以下であることが好ましく、2μm以上10μm以下であることがより好ましい。ポリウレタンを含む層を機能層とした場合、機能層の厚みを1μm以上とすることで耐候性が向上し、20μm以下とすることでバックシートの加工性が向上する。
ポリウレタンを含む層を機能層として本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムと積層する方法は、特に限られるものではないが、ロールコート法、グラビアロールコート法、キスコート法、およびその他のコート法、あるいは印刷法等によって積層する方法が挙げられる。
また、本発明の太陽電池バックシートの機能層は、無機化合物を含むことが好ましい。太陽電池バックシートの機能層が無機化合物を含むことで、太陽電池バックシートの水蒸気バリア性が向上する。機能層が含む無機化合物としては、シリカや、アルミナが好ましく、水蒸気バリア性、耐湿熱性の面で特にシリカをが好ましい。
無機化合物を含む層を機能層として本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムと積層する方法としては特に限られるものではないが、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムに直接積層する方法や、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムと異なるポリエステルフィルムに無機化合物を積層し、本発明の効果を阻害しない範囲で、本発明の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムと無機化合物を積層したポリエステルフィルム以外の層(機能層)を接着剤などを介して積層する方法が挙げられる。
次に、本発明の太陽電池について説明する。本発明の太陽電池は、前記の太陽電池バックシート用フィルムをそのまま搭載する。もしくは前記の太陽電池バックシートを搭載することを特徴とする。
本発明の太陽電池の構成例を図1に示す。電気を取り出すリード線(図1には示していない)を接続した発電素子をEVA樹脂などの透明な封止材2で封止したものに、ガラスなどの透明基板4と太陽電池バックシート1として貼り合わせて構成されるが、これに限定されず任意の構成に用いることができる。
