As described in the background art, the theoretical limit efficiency of the crystalline silicon cell is only about 29%, and it is difficult to greatly improve the efficiency of the crystalline silicon cell. In order to solve the above technical problem, the applicant of the present invention provides a photovoltaic module, as shown in fig. 1, including a first substrate 110, a second substrate 120, and a plurality of stacked cell layers 20 located between the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120, where adjacent cell layers 20 are connected by a first adhesive layer 310, where at least one of the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 is a light-transmitting substrate, and when any one of the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 is a light-transmitting substrate, the forbidden bandwidth of each cell layer 20 decreases in a direction away from the light-transmitting substrate; or when the first substrate 110 and the second substrate 120 are both transparent substrates, the forbidden bandwidth of each cell layer 20 increases or decreases in the direction away from the first substrate 110.

In the photovoltaic module of the present invention, a plurality of cell sheets 20 are stacked in the incident direction of light, and different types of cell sheets 20 are stacked in the order of increasing forbidden band width, so that the light with short wavelength is absorbed by the outermost wide band gap cell sheet 20, and the light with longer wavelength can be transmitted into the cell sheets with narrow band gap 20 to be absorbed, thereby maximally converting the light energy into electric energy, and greatly improving the utilization rate of solar spectrum, the performance of the cell, and the stability.
In the photovoltaic module of the present invention, the adjacent cell sheets 20 are connected by the first adhesive layer 310, and the first adhesive layer 310 may be a conventional transparent adhesive film in the prior art, such as EVA or POE.
When the first substrate 110 is a transparent substrate, incident light enters the photovoltaic module from the first substrate 110, the forbidden bandwidth of each cell layer 20 decreases in the direction away from the first substrate 110, in order to enable light to sequentially enter each cell layer 20 for photoelectric conversion, the cell layer 20 near one side of the first substrate 110 may be connected to the first substrate 110 through a transparent adhesive film, and the cell layer 20 may also be a thin film cell, such as a perovskite cell, a gallium arsenide cell, a cadmium telluride cell, a copper indium gallium selenide cell, and the like, grown on the first substrate 110; the battery sheet layer 20 adjacent to the second substrate 120 may be connected to the second substrate 120 through a glue film, which may be selected from any one of a transparent glue film, a white reflective glue film, a black glue film, and a color decoration glue film. The second substrate 120 may also be a transparent substrate, and in this case, the adhesive film connecting the second substrate 120 and the battery sheet layer 20 on one side thereof is a transparent adhesive film.
When the second substrate 120 is a transparent substrate, incident light enters the photovoltaic module from the second substrate 120, the forbidden bandwidth of each cell layer 20 decreases in the direction away from the second substrate 120, in order to enable light to sequentially enter each cell layer 20 for photoelectric conversion, the cell layer 20 near one side of the second substrate 120 may be connected to the second substrate 120 through a transparent adhesive film, and the cell layer 20 may also be a thin film battery, such as a perovskite battery, a gallium arsenide battery, a cadmium telluride battery, a copper indium gallium selenide battery, and the like, grown on the second substrate 120; the battery sheet layer 20 adjacent to the first substrate 110 may be connected to the first substrate 110 through a glue film, which may be selected from any one of a transparent glue film, a white reflective glue film, a black glue film, and a color decoration glue film. The first substrate 110 may also be a transparent substrate, and in this case, the adhesive film connecting the first substrate 110 and the battery sheet layer 20 on one side thereof is a transparent adhesive film.
In some preferred embodiments, the plurality of cell sheets 20 includes a first cell sheet 210 and a second cell sheet 220, the first substrate 110 is a light-transmissive substrate, and the light absorption wavelength of the first cell sheet 210 is smaller than the light absorption wavelength of the second cell sheet 220. With a two-layer battery sheet layer 20 as shown in fig. 2-4. Light is incident into the photovoltaic module from the first substrate 110, light with a smaller light absorption wavelength in the incident light is subjected to photoelectric conversion in the first cell layer 210, and the remaining incident light with a larger wavelength enters the second cell layer 220 to be subjected to photoelectric conversion, so that more bands in the incident light can be utilized, and the utilization efficiency of the photovoltaic module is improved.
In order to further improve the light conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module, it is more preferable that the first cell sheet layer 210 and the second cell sheet layer 220 overlap in the projection direction, the first cell sheet layer 210 and the second cell sheet layer 220 respectively include a plurality of independent cell sheets, and the arrangement of the cell sheets in the first cell sheet layer 210 and the second cell sheet layer 220 may be independently selected from a grid arrangement or a lamination arrangement.
In order to further improve the light conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic module, it is more preferable that the light absorption wavelength of the first cell layer 210 is less than 800nm, and the light absorption wavelength of the second cell layer 220 is less than 1100 nm. The first cell sheet layer 210 selectively absorbs the shorter wavelength light of the incident light, i.e., the incident light with the wavelength λ smaller than 800nm, and the longer wavelength part of the incident light is not absorbed by the first cell sheet layer 210 and directly passes through the first cell sheet layer 210; the second cell sheet layer 220 absorbs the light with longer wavelength, i.e. the incident light with wavelength λ less than 1100nm, at this time, the incident light with wavelength greater than 800nm, which cannot be absorbed by the first cell sheet layer 210, and the light with wavelength less than 800nm, which is not absorbed by the second cell sheet or directly transmitted, are absorbed by the second cell sheet layer 220.

In some embodiments, the first cell sheet layer 210 is a thin film battery, such as a perovskite battery, a gallium arsenide battery, a cadmium telluride battery, a copper indium gallium selenide battery, or the like, and the second cell sheet layer 220 is a PERC battery.

At this time, the first substrate 110 and the first cell sheet layer 210 do not need to be connected through an adhesive film, so that the photovoltaic module can be thinner and thinner. The thickness of the thin film battery may be 600nm to 50 μm.
In a preferred embodiment, the second cell sheet layer 220 is disposed on the second substrate 120 through a third adhesive layer 330, and the third adhesive layer 330 may include any one of a transparent adhesive film, a white reflective adhesive film, a black adhesive film, and a color decorative adhesive film, as shown in fig. 2 and 3.

At this time, the second substrate 120 and the second cell sheet layer 220 do not need to be connected through an adhesive film, so that the photovoltaic module can be thinner and thinner. The thickness of the thin film battery may be 600nm to 50 μm. However, it should be noted that, in order to enable the forbidden bandwidth of each cell in the photovoltaic module to decrease along the incident light direction of the light, the second cell layer 220 and the first cell layer 210 cannot be of the same kind.
