Background technology
Solar cell is to be light energy conversion the device of electric energy by photoelectric effect.The advantages such as, spatter property permanent owing to having, flexibility, it is considered to a kind of novel energy of following main development, and in the near future, solar cell can the Substitute For Partial conventional energy resource, becomes the main body of world energy supplies.
Solar cell is a stepped construction normally, is followed successively by from top to bottom clear glass cover plate/sealant ethene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA glue)/cell piece/EVA glue/backboard.Whole solar cell is by framing up and form sealing four sides after above-mentioned each material lamination again.The Main Function of its dorsulum is the overall mechanical strength that improves solar panel, intercepts simultaneously water vapor permeable in sealant, to ensure the useful life of cell piece.Therefore, solar cell backboard must have good anti-electrical breakdown, ageing-resistant, weather, the characteristic such as corrosion-resistant.
Solar cell backboard is produced by the multilayer film thermoforming way mostly at present.Take the most frequently used TPT as example, its preparation method is that independently film is hot-forming by the bonding of macromolecule adhesive with three layers of polyvinyl fluoride/PETG/polyvinyl fluorides (being called for short PVF/PET/PVF).Pet layer wherein is as matrix, and main rising insulated and supporting role; Two outer field PVF can play ageing-resistant and corrosion-resistant effect owing to containing fluorin radical on molecular skeleton.In order to obtain the performances such as better barrier, weatherability, can use Kynoar (PVDF) to substitute PVF.
There are the problems such as the high and interlaminar adhesion of material cost is low in the production of Present Domestic solar energy backboard, in backsheet layer, the production of PET basement membrane is mature on the whole, but the production technology difficulty of PVF or PVDF is larger, almost can not autonomous production, basically rely on external import, cause thus the higher defective of backboard membrane material cost.In addition, because fluoropolymer surface can be low, making PET and PVF(or PVDF) bonding strength is inadequate between rete, and easily cause be separated from each other between each layer of backboard membrane and cause the hydraulic performance decline such as barrier, weatherability, corrosion resistance of whole backboard membrane, thereby affect the useful life of battery.Therefore, adopt the multilayer film hot press forming technology, very harsh to the requirement of macromolecule adhesive formula.
The method that solves at present caking property problem between backboard cost and each layer has two kinds, on the one hand, substitutes traditional fluorine film with fluororesin-coated formation fluorine layer, reaches the purpose that reduces costs; On the other hand, carry out corona treatment at fluorine film or polyester base film surface, suitably improve the caking property between two membranes.Publication number is CN101272903, open day is the Chinese invention patent of on 09 24th, 2008, a kind of solar cell backboard that adopts fluorine-containing coat replacement fluorine film is provided, this fluorine-containing coat is to have imported the fluoropolymer that solidifies functional group, in order to improve the caking property between fluorine layer and basic unit or sealant layer.Publication number is CN101515603A, open day is the Chinese invention patent application of on 08 26th, 2009, a kind of solar cell backboard is provided, has provided three kinds of versions: the first is the sheet material one side coating fluorine-containing coat in impermeability, the compound fluorine-contained film in the another side; The second is respectively to be coated with fluorine-containing coat in the sheet material two sides of impermeability; The third is the sheet material one side coating fluorine-containing coat in impermeability, then fluorine-containing coat outside the coating surface coating, be coated with fluorine-containing coat in the sheet material another side at last.The backboard membrane of above structure is partly or entirely replaced the fluorine rete by the coating fluorine-containing coat, thereby reduces to a certain extent material cost, also improves caking property between each layer of backboard membrane from the improvement of fluorine material or adhesive.
Due to the solar cell permanence of service time (need to use out of doors more than 20 years), keep whole battery component to have good barrier, weatherability and corrosion resistance, to guarantee its useful life, the caking property between each layer of backboard membrane is most important.The applicant thinks except fluororesin or adhesive are done improvement, perhaps fluorine film or polyester base film surface carried out being necessary polyester base material is made further improvements outside corona treatment, to improve as far as possible the adhesive property between each layer of backboard membrane.
