技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种太阳能电池(photovoltaic)模块及其制造方法,且特别涉及一种透光型薄膜太阳能电池模块及其制造方法。 The present invention relates to a solar cell (photovoltaic) module and its manufacturing method, and in particular to a light-transmitting thin-film solar cell module and its manufacturing method. the
背景技术Background technique
太阳能是一种具有永不耗尽且无污染的能源,在解决目前石化能源所面临的污染与短缺的问题时,一直是最受瞩目的焦点。其中,又以太阳能电池(solar cell)可直接将太阳能转换为电能,而成为目前相当重要的研究课题。 Solar energy is an energy source that is inexhaustible and non-polluting. It has always been the focus of attention when solving the problems of pollution and shortage of petrochemical energy. Among them, the solar cell (solar cell) can directly convert solar energy into electric energy, and has become a very important research topic at present. the
目前,在太阳能电池市场中,使用单晶硅与多晶硅的电池约占百分的九十以上。但是,这些太阳能电池需使用厚度约150微米至350微米的硅芯片作为材料,其成本较高。再者,由于太阳能电池的原材料采用高品质的硅晶锭,近年来因使用量的明显成长,已日渐不足。因此,薄膜太阳能电池(thinfilm solar cell)的研发乃成为新的发展方向。而且,薄膜太阳能电池具有低成本、容易大面积生产,且模块化工艺简单等优点。 At present, in the solar cell market, cells using monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon account for more than 90 percent. However, these solar cells need to use silicon chips with a thickness of about 150 microns to 350 microns as materials, and the cost is relatively high. Furthermore, since high-quality silicon crystal ingots are used as raw materials for solar cells, due to the obvious growth in usage in recent years, it has become increasingly insufficient. Therefore, the research and development of thin film solar cells has become a new development direction. Moreover, thin-film solar cells have the advantages of low cost, easy large-area production, and simple modularization process. the
请参照图1,其是绘示已知一种薄膜太阳能电池模块的示意图。薄膜太阳能电池模块150包括玻璃基板152、透明电极154、光电转换层156以及金属电极158。其中,透明电极154配置于玻璃基板152上。光电转换层156是以对应透明电极154位置偏移一距离的方式配置于透明电极154上。另外,金属电极158是以对应光电转换层156位置偏移一距离的方式配置于光电转换层156上,且与下方的透明电极154接触。在薄膜太阳能电池模块150中,光电转换层通常是由p型半导体、本征(intrinsic)半导体、n型半导体堆叠形成p-i-n的结构,光线由玻璃基板152下方入射进来,透过光电转换层156吸收产生电子及空穴对,经由内建电场将电子与空穴对分离而形成电压与电流,再经由导线传输至负载使用。为了提升电池的效率,已知薄膜太阳能电池模块150会将透明电极154的表面制成金字塔形(pyramid)结构或粗纹化(textured)结构(未绘示),以减少光的反射量。光电转换层通常使用非晶(amorphous)硅薄膜,但因为其能隙通常介于1.7至1.8eV之间,只能吸收波 长小于800nm的太阳光,为了增加光的利用,通常会再堆叠一层微晶(micro-crystalline or nano-crystalline)硅薄膜,形成p-i-n/p-i-n的堆叠型(tandem)太阳能电池,微晶硅的能隙通常介于1.1至1.2eV之间,可以吸收波长小于1100nm的太阳光。 Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram illustrating a known thin film solar cell module. The thin film
早期,太阳能电池的造价昂贵且制作不易,而仅能应用于太空等特殊领域中。现今,太阳能电池的应用已可扩展至一般的民宅、高楼建筑,甚至露营车、移动式小冰箱,都可以利用它可转换太阳光为电能的特性普遍地随处运用。但是在一些特定应用上面,硅晶片太阳能电池并不适合,例如需有透光性的玻璃帷幕,与其他太阳能电池结合建筑物(building integratedphotovoltaic,BIPV)的应用。透光型薄膜太阳能电池(thin film solar cell ofsee-through type)在这些应用当中具有节能与美观等优点,且更符合人性居住的需求。 In the early days, solar cells were expensive and difficult to manufacture, and could only be used in special fields such as space. Today, the application of solar cells can be extended to ordinary residential buildings, high-rise buildings, even campers, and mobile small refrigerators. They can be used everywhere by taking advantage of their ability to convert sunlight into electrical energy. However, in some specific applications, silicon wafer solar cells are not suitable, such as the need for light-transmitting glass curtains, and the application of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) combined with other solar cells. Thin film solar cell of see-through type has the advantages of energy saving and aesthetics in these applications, and is more in line with the needs of human living. the
目前,在一些美国专利上已有披露关于透光型薄膜太阳能电池及其制造方法的相关技术。 At present, some US patents have disclosed related technologies about light-transmissive thin-film solar cells and their manufacturing methods. the
在美国专利第6,858,461号(US 6,858,461 B2)中,提出一种部分透明的太阳能电池模块(“PARTIALLY TRANSPARENT PHOTOVOLATICMODULES”)。如图2所示,太阳能电池模块110包括透明基板114、透明导电层118、背面电极122以及位于透明导电层118与金属电极122之间的光电转换层。同样地,光线会由透明基板114下方照射进去。在此太阳能电池模块110中,会利用激光切割(laser scribing)方式移除部分金属电极122与光电转换层,而形成至少一条沟槽(groove)140,以使太阳能电池模块110可达到部分透光的目的。但是,由于激光切割方法是在高温下进行,因此容易使金属电极122产生金属颗粒或熔融而堆积在沟槽内部,造成上、下电极短路(short);或者非晶硅光电转换层于高温下在沟槽侧壁产生再结晶,形成低阻值的微晶硅,使得漏电流增加,进而影响工艺成品率(yield)与太阳电池的效率。另一方面,在透明导电层118表面通常会制成金字塔型结构或粗纹化表面结构,以提升电池的效率,如此当光线由透明基板114下方照射进去时会产生散射,以致使透光率未能有效提高。 In US Patent No. 6,858,461 (US 6,858,461 B2), a partially transparent solar cell module ("PARTIALLY TRANSPARENT PHOTOVOLATICMODULES") is proposed. As shown in FIG. 2 , the
承上述,为了使太阳能电池达成某一程度的透光率,则需要有更多的金属电极与光电转换层被剥除。请参照表1,其为日本MakMax TAIYO KOGYO公司的多种透光型薄膜电池的产品规格。由表1可知,为了提高透光率,很 明显地需去除相当大面积的金属电极与光电转换层,如此一来使得最大输出、效率和填满系数(fill factor,FF)会下降。 Based on the above, in order to achieve a certain degree of light transmittance in the solar cell, more metal electrodes and photoelectric conversion layers need to be stripped. Please refer to Table 1, which is the product specification of various light-transmitting thin-film batteries of MakMax TAIYO KOGYO in Japan. It can be seen from Table 1 that in order to increase the light transmittance, it is obvious that a considerable area of metal electrodes and photoelectric conversion layers needs to be removed, so that the maximum output, efficiency and fill factor (FF) will decrease. the
表1 Table 1
另外,美国专利第4,795,500号(US 4795500)提出一种太阳能电池元件(“PHOTOVOLATIC DEVICE”)。如图3所示,太阳能电池元件包括透明基板1、透明导电层3、光电转换层4、金属电极5以及光致抗蚀剂8。此太阳能电池元件在金属电极5与光电转换层4中,或甚至包括在透明导电层3中,会形成孔洞(hole)6,以达到透光的目的。然而,此专利需使用到黄光工艺,其相关设备相当昂贵,如此会增加成本。而且,若此专利使用激光切割方式以直接形成孔洞6,则同样会造成金属颗粒污染以及短路问题,而影响工艺成品率。 In addition, US Patent No. 4,795,500 (US 4795500) proposes a solar cell device ("PHOTOVOLATIC DEVICE"). As shown in FIG. 3 , the solar cell element includes a transparent substrate 1 , a transparent conductive layer 3 , a photoelectric conversion layer 4 , a metal electrode 5 and a photoresist 8 . In the solar cell element, holes 6 are formed in the metal electrode 5 and the photoelectric conversion layer 4 , or even included in the transparent conductive layer 3 , to achieve the purpose of light transmission. However, this patent needs to use a yellow light process, and its related equipment is quite expensive, which will increase the cost. Moreover, if the patent uses laser cutting to directly form the hole 6, it will also cause metal particle pollution and short circuit problems, which will affect the process yield. the

当然,为了提升电池的效率,亦可对电极材料进行粗纹化(textured)表面处理,以减少光的反射量。粗纹化表面处理会使造成凹凸不平的表面使光线产生散射(scattering),减少入射光的反射,与增加入射光在光电转换层中的行进距离,其通常会将电极材料的表面制成V字型沟槽、金字塔形(pyramid)结构(未绘示)或逆金字塔形。 Of course, in order to improve the efficiency of the battery, the electrode material can also be treated with a textured surface to reduce light reflection.
