After the manufacturing method of the tile-folding assembly is adopted, the complete production flow of the tile-folding assembly is as follows: the method comprises the steps of battery detection → laying of a solar battery layer → lamination → edge removal → framing → connection of a junction box → test → inspection → packaging and warehousing, and production efficiency is improved. And the welded solar cell layer 2 does not need to be transported, so that the possibility of damage to the solar cell layer 2 is reduced. Meanwhile, in the laminating process, the first solar cell piece 21 and the second solar cell piece 23 are welded, so that the welded solar cell layer 2 is more fit with the shapes of the upper surface layer 3 and the lower surface layer 1, and the problem that the solar cell layer 2 is cracked in the laminating process due to the deviation of the shapes of the pre-welded solar cell layer 2 and the upper surface layer 3 and the lower surface layer 1 is avoided.

Finally, an upper surface layer 3 is laid on the solar cell layer 2; and (3) performing lamination at a lamination temperature, so that the welding layer 22 is melted to weld the first solar cell piece 21 and the second solar cell piece 23 together, and the upper surface layer 3, the solar cell layer 2 and the lower surface layer 1 are bonded together through lamination to form a laminated piece assembly. The lower surface layer 1 may include a lower tempered glass layer and a lower solar cell encapsulation adhesive film stacked from bottom to top. The upper surface layer 3 may include an upper solar cell encapsulant film and an upper tempered glass layer stacked from bottom to top. The lamination temperature is generally 150 + -5 deg.C, and solder strip or solder paste with melting point lower than the lamination temperature is used for the solder layer 22. And sequentially paving a lower toughened glass layer and a lower solar cell packaging adhesive film from bottom to top in the laminating machine. Then, a first solar cell 21 is laid on the lower solar cell packaging adhesive film, a strip-shaped welding layer 22 is arranged on one longitudinal end of the first solar cell 21 along the transverse direction of the solar cell, a second solar cell 23 is arranged on the lower solar cell packaging adhesive film at one longitudinal side of the first solar cell 21, and one end of the second solar cell 23 is arranged on the welding layer 22, so that the first solar cell 21, the second solar cell 23 and the welding layer 22 form a solar cell layer 2. And then, an upper tempered glass layer and an upper solar cell packaging adhesive film are sequentially paved on the solar cell layer 2 from bottom to top. And finally, pumping out air in the assembly through a laminating machine, and heating to melt the upper solar cell packaging adhesive film and the lower solar cell packaging adhesive film so as to bond the solar cell layer 2 with the upper surface layer 3 and the lower surface layer 1. During the lamination process, the welding layer 22 is melted by the lamination temperature, and the welding of the first solar cell piece 21 and the second solar cell piece 23 is completed.
Further, referring to fig. 2 to 3 together, as an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a laminated assembly according to the present invention, the step of laying the first solar cell 21, the solder layer 22 and the second solar cell 23 on the lower surface layer 1 in a predetermined order includes:
laying a first solar cell 21 on the lower surface layer 1;
laying a welding layer 22 on the end part of the first solar cell 21;
the second solar cell sheet 23 is stacked on the solder layer 22.
Specifically, the first solar cell 21, the solder layer 22 and the second solar cell 23 are laid on the lower surface layer 1 in a predetermined sequence, wherein the first solar cell 21 is laid on the lower surface layer 1, the solder layer 22 is laid on one end of the first solar cell 21, and one end of the second solar cell 23 is finally stacked on the solder layer 22.
Further, referring to fig. 2 to fig. 3, as an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a laminated assembly according to the present invention, the welding layer 22 is a flexible member.
Specifically, the solder layer 22 is a flexible member that can be deformed by an external force, and for example, the solder layer 22 may be formed by applying solder paste to an end portion of the first solar cell sheet 21. During the lamination process, the solder layer 22 can relieve the pressure of the first solar cell piece 21 and the second solar cell piece 23 through the deformation of the solder layer, so as to prevent the first solar cell piece 21 and the second solar cell piece 23 from being cracked. The thickness of the welding layer 22 is larger than the minimum thickness required by welding, so that the first solar cell 21 and the second solar cell 23 are prevented from extruding the welding layer 22 in the subsequent lamination process, and the welding layer 22 cannot meet the welding requirement due to too small thickness.
Further, referring to fig. 2 to fig. 3, as an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a laminated assembly according to the present invention, the end of the first solar cell 21 is provided with a first groove 211 with an open outer side; laying the solder layer 22 on the end portion of the first solar cell piece 21 includes:
the welding layer 22 is laid in the first recess 211.
By arranging the welding layer 22 in the first groove 211, the thickness of the laminated part of the first solar cell 21, the welding layer 22 and the second solar cell 23 is reduced, and the phenomenon that the first solar cell 21 or the second solar cell 23 is cracked due to concentrated stress caused by overlarge thickness of the laminated part of the first solar cell 21, the welding layer 22 and the second solar cell 23 in the laminating process is avoided. The thickness of the welding layer 22 can be increased under the condition that the thickness of the stacked part is smaller, and the welding quality is ensured. The flowing and shielding of the surface of the first solar cell piece 21 after the welding layer 22 is melted can also be avoided to a certain extent. Specifically, the first solar cell 21 and the second solar cell 23 are arranged in a longitudinal direction, the first groove 211 is formed in a lateral direction on an upper surface of the first solar cell 21, a top surface and an outer side surface of the first groove 211 are opened, a solder tape is applied or solder paste is applied to a bottom surface of the first groove 211 to form the solder layer 22, and an end portion of the second solar cell 23 is inserted into the first groove 211 from the opened outer side surface of the first groove 211 and is bonded to the solder layer 22. The soldering layer 22 is formed by coating soldering paste on the bottom surface of the first groove 211, the thickness of the soldering paste layer is larger than the minimum thickness required by soldering, and therefore the situation that the first solar cell 21 and the second solar cell 23 extrude the soldering layer 22 in the subsequent laminating process is avoided, and the soldering requirement cannot be met due to the fact that the thickness of the soldering layer 22 is too small.
Further, referring to fig. 2 to fig. 3, as an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a laminated assembly according to the present invention, the end of the second solar cell 23 is provided with a second groove 231 with an open outer side surface;

The flowing and shielding of the surface of the second solar cell piece 23 after the welding layer 22 is melted can also be avoided to a certain extent.
Further, referring to fig. 3 to fig. 4, as an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a laminated assembly according to the present invention, a supporting portion 212 protruding from a bottom surface of the first groove 211 is disposed in the first groove 211;
the bottom surface of the second groove 231 is spaced apart from the top of the support portion 212.
In the subsequent lamination process, the first solar cell 21 and the second solar cell 23 are pressed by the upper surface layer 3 and the lower surface layer 1 to generate a certain displacement, and the bottom surface of the second groove 231 is not in direct contact with the top surface of the support part 212 by the distance between the bottom surface of the second groove 231 and the top of the support part 212, so that the bottom surface of the second groove 231 is prevented from being pressed by the support part 212 to cause damage. Optionally, the thickness of the welding layer 22 is greater than the height of the support portion 212, and the welding layer 22 covers the top of the support portion 212. Optionally, the supporting portion 212 is a barrier strip disposed outside the welding layer 22 and parallel to the long axis of the first groove 211. On the one hand, the barrier strip can ensure a minimum thickness of the solder layer 22, and on the other hand, after the solder layer 22 melts, the melted solder layer 22 is prevented from flowing away from the outside of the first recess 211. The bars are disposed laterally along the outer side edges of the first recess 211. The height of the barrier strip is less than the depth of the first groove 211, so that the end of the second solar cell piece 23 can be inserted into the groove to determine the relative position of the solar cell piece main body and the second solar cell piece 23.
Further, referring to fig. 3, as an embodiment of the method for manufacturing a laminated assembly according to the present invention, a gap is formed between the end of the second solar cell 23 and the inner sidewall of the first groove 211.
When the welding layer 22 deforms, the welding layer 22 can flow into a gap between the end portion of the second solar cell 23 and the inner side wall of the first groove 211, and the first groove 211 is prevented from being closed too much so that the welding layer 22 cannot deform. Meanwhile, further, the width of the gap between the end of the second solar cell piece 23 and the inner side wall of the first groove 211 is adjusted so that the gap can accommodate the excess part of the soldering layer 22, and the soldering layer 22 is prevented from flowing to the surface of the first solar cell piece 21 or the second solar cell piece 23.
