Description

Double-sided solar cell and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a bifacial solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
The commonly used solar cells can be classified into Si solar cells, cells using inorganic salts such as gallium arsenide III-V compounds, cadmium sulfide, copper indium selenium and other multi-element compounds as materials, solar cells prepared from functional polymer materials, nanocrystalline solar cells and the like according to the materials. Among these, single crystal Si solar cells are the earliest one used by people and have the longest history. The Si atomic arrangement of the single crystal Si solar cell is irregular, the conversion efficiency is highest in the Si solar cell, the theoretical value can reach 24% -26%, and the conversion efficiency of an actual product is 15% -18%. The poly-Si used in Si solar cells is formed by aggregation of single crystal Si particles. The theoretical value of the conversion efficiency of the poly-Si solar cell is 20%, and the conversion efficiency of an actual product is 12% -14%. Although the conversion efficiency is slightly lower than that of a single crystal Si solar cell, the raw materials are more abundant and the manufacturing is easier, so that the use amount is more than that of a single crystal Si solar cell, which is dominant. The polycrystalline thin film solar cell has less raw materials, high efficiency and wider application prospect.
But admittedly, si is a weak light absorber, requiring an absorber layer of several hundred microns thick, because it is an indirect bandgap material, compared to group iii-v compound materials. Furthermore, si, as a photovoltaic material, causes relatively large heat loss with respect to an optimal solar spectral band gap value of 1.5eV, because it is a narrow band gap. The III-V compound solar cell has high conversion efficiency due to the direct band gap semiconductor material, the single junction solar cell has 26% -28% conversion efficiency, and the two-junction and three-junction solar cells can reach 35% -45%. But also can be made into a thin film solar cell with better radiation resistance and temperature characteristics, and is suitable for concentrating power generation. For compound semiconductor solar cells, the temperature rise has little influence on the characteristics of the solar cells, but the resources for manufacturing the solar cells are less, the material cost is higher, and the compound semiconductor solar cells are mainly used in the field of universe power generation at present.
In order to improve the conversion efficiency of solar cells, various approaches have been tried, such as: 1. searching for new materials sensitive from near infrared to ultraviolet; 2. adopting a new laser processing technology to improve the innovation of the solar cell processing technology; 3. maximum power point tracking; 4. the use of a condensing element improves the conversion efficiency. These methods can improve the conversion efficiency of solar cells to various degrees, but progress slowly, and have not been improved substantially.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, there is provided a bifacial solar cell, as shown in fig. 1, the bifacial solar cell includes a first cell 10, a first electrode 20, a second cell 30, a tunnel junction structure 40 and a second electrode 50, wherein the material of the first cell 10 includes silicon; the first electrode 20 is positioned on the surface of the first battery cell 10; the second battery cell 30 is located on a side of the first battery cell 10 remote from the first electrode 20, and the material of the second battery cell 30 includes a first iii-v compound semiconductor material; the tunnel junction structure 40 is located between the first battery cell 10 and the second battery cell 30, the tunnel junction structure 40 is in contact with the first battery cell 10 and the second battery cell 30, respectively, and a material of the tunnel junction structure 40 includes a second iii-v compound semiconductor material; the second electrode 50 is located on a surface of the second battery cell 30 remote from the tunnel junction structure 40.
The double-sided solar cell comprises a first electrode, a first cell unit, a tunnel junction structure, a second cell unit and a second electrode which are sequentially stacked, wherein the material of the first cell unit comprises silicon; the material of the second battery unit comprises a first III-V compound semiconductor material; the tunnel junction structure material includes a second III-V compound semiconductor material. Compared with the problem of lower photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell in the prior art, the double-sided solar cell of the application realizes a double-sided structure through the first cell unit and the second cell unit, light is absorbed through double sides, the light absorption quantity is ensured to be larger, the first cell unit comprises a silicon material, the second cell unit comprises a III-V compound semiconductor material, the Si material and the III-V compound semiconductor material are integrated, the absorbable sunlight is ensured to have a larger wavelength range, and the light with different wavelengths is converted into electricity, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the double-sided solar cell is ensured to be higher.
Specifically, since silicon is an indirect bandgap material, silicon is a weak light absorber, when it is applied in a solar cell, because it is a narrow bandgap, compared with an optimal solar spectrum bandgap value of 1.5eV, a relatively large heat loss is caused, whereas a iii-v compound solar cell, because it is a direct bandgap semiconductor material, the second cell has a high conversion efficiency, and for a iii-v compound semiconductor solar cell, the temperature rise has little influence on the solar cell characteristics, but the resources for manufacturing the solar cell are small, the material cost is high, and the silicon is relatively abundant due to the raw materials, and the manufacturing is relatively easy, so that the cost of the first cell of the silicon material is low, and therefore, the double-sided solar cell uses the advantages of low cost of silicon and high photoelectric conversion efficiency of the iii-v material, and ensures the performance of the double-sided solar cell is good and the photoelectric conversion efficiency is high.

The third heavily doped layer and the fourth heavily doped layer with different doping types ensure that the second battery unit can normally complete photoelectric conversion action.

The first transparent conductive film and the second transparent conductive film ensure that light can penetrate through and reach the first battery unit and the second battery unit to the greatest extent, and the first antireflection film and the second antireflection film can increase light transmittance by reducing reflection of the light, so that the light can reach the first battery unit and the second battery unit to the greatest extent, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the double-sided solar cell is further ensured to be higher.
