Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a field of solar cells, and more particularly, to a solar cell array, a solar cell module and a manufacturing method thereof.
- a solar cell module is one of the most important components of a solar power generation device. Sunlight irradiates to a cell from its front surface and is converted to electricity within the cell. Primary grid lines and secondary grid lines are disposed on the front surface and cover part of the front surface of the cell. As such, the part of sunlight irradiating to the primary grid lines and the secondary grid lines are blocked by the grid lines and cannot be converted into electric energy. Thus, the primary grid lines and the secondary grid lines need to be as fine as possible in order for the solar cell module to receive more sunlight. However, the primary grid lines and the secondary grid lines serve to conduct current, and in terms of resistivity, the finer the primary grid lines and the secondary grid lines are, the smaller the cross section area thereof are, which causes greater loss of electricity due to increased resistivity. Therefore, the primary grid lines and the secondary grid lines shall be designed to achieve a balance between light blocking and electric conduction, and to take the cost into consideration.
- the solar cell with multiple primary grid lines can only use the metal wire as the primary grid lines, rather than adopting the primary grid lines sintered by silver paste, due to the limitations of series welding technology.
- the selection of material for the metal wire shall take cost, conductivity and weldability into consideration.
- the conductivity of copper is slightly lower than silver but has a much lower cost than silver, so copper is given preference.
- the weldability of copper primary grid lines and silver secondary grid lines is not good at a low temperature.
- welding of copper primary grid lines and silver secondary grid lines below 200°C is not feasible (too high a welding temperature may damage the cells) .
- the front surface of the solar cell is usually provided with primary grid lines and secondary grid lines to output the current generated by the photoelectric effect or chemistry effect.
- solar cell manufactures conducted extensive researches on how to increase the number of the primary grid lines. In prior art, the number of primary grid lines has been successfully increased from two to three, or even five.
- the primary grid lines are formed by printing the paste containing expensive silver, so the manufacturing cost is very high, and the increase of the silver primary grid lines absolutely causes an increase in cost.
- the current silver primary grid line has a great width (for example, up to over 2mm) , such that the increase of the silver primary grid lines will enlarge the shading area, and make the photoelectric conversion efficiency low.
- the silver primary grid lines printed on the cell are replaced with metal wires, for example, copper wires.
- the copper wires are welded with the secondary grid lines to output the current. Since the silver primary grid lines are no longer used, the cost can be reduced considerably.
- the copper wire has a smaller diameter to reduce the shading area, so the number of the copper wires can be raised up to 10.
- This kind of cell may be called a cell without primary grid lines, in which the metal wire replaces the silver primary grid lines and solder strips in the traditional solar cells.
- the inventor of the present disclosure finds that if a cell is manufacture in this way that multiple parallel metal wires are drawn simultaneously, cut off, and then welded to the cell simultaneously, due to limitations of sophistication of equipment and process, for example, the influence of stress, the solar cell is bent to some extent when disposed at a free state, so the metal wire needs to remain kind of strained to flatten the cell (a test proves that the minimum strain is at least 2N for a copper wire with a diameter of 0.2mm) . In order to keep the strain, each metal wire needs to be provided with clips or similar equipment at the two ends thereof, and the equipment occupies certain space, but the space in the cell is limited.
- the above technical solution can further increase the number of the metal wires, but the transparent film may affect the light absorption, which causes certain degree of shading, and thus lowers the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
- the above technical solution cannot connect the metal wires with the secondary grid lines by the welding process, because the melting temperature of the transparent film must be higher than the welding temperature (usually around 140°C) , otherwise the transparent film will melt in the process of welding, which may lose the function of fixing the metal wires, and then the metal wires drift, resulting in poor welding effects.
- the encapsulating material at present is EVA whose melting point is 70°C to 80°C, much lower than the welding temperature. If the welding process is employed, as said above, the melting temperature of the transparent film must be higher than the welding temperature, which is higher than the melting point of the encapsulating material. Thus, in the encapsulating process, the encapsulating material (EVA) will melt at the encapsulating temperature, but the transparent film will not, such that the melting encapsulating material cannot penetrate the solid transparent film to completely seal the cells. Hence, the sealing effect is poor, and the actual product tends to fail. In terms of encapsulating, the melting temperature of the transparent film needs to be lower than the welding temperature, which is an evident paradox.
- the technical solution of fixing the metal wires via the transparent film cannot adopt the welding process to weld the metal wires with the secondary grid lines, or the metal wires are merely in contact with the secondary grid lines on the cells, i.e. the metal wires are only placed on the secondary grid lines.
- the connection strength of the metal wires and the secondary grid lines is so low that the metal wires tend to separate from the secondary grid lines in the laminating process or in use, which causes bad contact, low efficiency of the cells, or even failure thereof. Consequently, the product in this technical solution is not promoted and commercialized. There is no fairly mature solar cell without primary grid lines.
- the present disclosure seeks to solve at least one of the problems existing in the related art to at least some extent.
- the present disclosure provides a solar cell without primary grid lines, and the number of the conductive wires disposed the cell can be increased up to 20 or even greater.
- the conductive wires are constituted by a few metal wires which extend reciprocally, so as to reduce the number of free ends. Consequently, the number of the metal wires is not limited by the space, and more conductive wires may be disposed on the cell to facilitate the welding between the multiple conductive wires and the secondary grid lines on the cell.
- the conductive wires and the secondary grid lines are connected by welding, which is reliable and simple to manufacture, and has good sealability and high efficiency.
- the solar cells satisfy the practical requirements and may be commercialized for mass production.
- the present disclosure provides a solar cell array that is easy to manufacture in low cost, and has high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
- the present disclosure further provides a solar cell module having the above solar cell array.
- the solar cell module is easy to manufacture in low cost, and improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
- the present disclosure further provides a method for manufacturing the solar cell module.
- a solar cell array includes a plurality of cells, adjacent cells are connected by a plurality of conductive wires, at least two conductive wires constituted by a metal wire which extends reciprocally between a surface of a first cell and a surface of a second cell adjacent to the first cell, secondary grid lines being disposed on front surfaces of the cells and being welded with the conductive wires.
- the conductive wires are constituted by the metal wire which extends reciprocally.
- the conductive wires of this structure extend reciprocally between two adjacent cells in a winding way to form a folded shape, which is easy to manufacture in low cost, and can improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell array.
- the conductive wires are arranged in a winding way to avoid failure of the whole conductive wires when a single primary grid line breaks off or is insufficiently welded, so as to avoid instability of the cells.
- the conductive wires and the secondary grid lines are welded, such that the conductive wires in the solar cell module will not drift or be insufficiently welded, and the solar cell module obtains relatively high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
- the solar cell module includes an upper cover plate, a front adhesive layer, a cell array, a back adhesive layer and a back plate superposed in sequence, the cell array being a solar cell array according to the above embodiments.
- a method for manufacturing a solar cell module includes: forming at least two conductive wires by a metal wire which extends reciprocally a surface of a first cell and a surface of a second cell adjacent to the first cell, welding the plurality of conductive wires with secondary grid lines on the front surface of the cell, such that the adjacent cells are connected via the conductive wires to obtain a cell array; superposing an upper cover plate, a front adhesive layer, the cell array, a back adhesive layer and a back plate in sequence, in which a front surface of the cell faces the front adhesive layer, a back surface thereof facing the back adhesive layer, and laminating them to obtain the solar cell module.
- the winding method in the present disclosure facilitates electrical connection of the metal wire with the cell, and the good connection performance is beneficial, especially, to welding of the metal wire with the cell, and can avoid insufficient welding of the conductive wires.
- the solar cell manufactured has beautiful design and good performance.
- a suitable number of conductive wires can be manufactured, as long as they are strained by two clips, which is independent from space limit. The process is easy to realize with simple equipment, which can be industrialized.

- the present disclosure is not limited to that all the conductive wires are formed by winding the metal wire–the conductive wires can be partially or completely formed by winding the metal wire.
- the reciprocal extension can be back and forth once. There is no limit as to the termination point of the reciprocal extension–the starting point and the termination point can be at the same cell or at different cells, as long as the metal wire is winded.

- 60 cells 31 are arranged in a matrix form (six rows and ten columns) .
- a metal wire extends reciprocally between a front surface of a first cell 31 and a back surface of a second cell 31 under strain.
- the metal wire extends reciprocally under a strain from two clips at two ends thereof, so as to form 20 parallel conductive wires.
- the secondary grid lines of the first cell 31 are welded with the conductive wires and the back electrodes of the second cell 31 are welded with the conductive wires at a welding temperature of 160°C.
- the distance between parallel adjacent conductive wires is 7mm. 10 cells are connected in series into a row, and six rows of the cells of such kind are connected in series into a cell array via the bus bar.
