Definitions
- the present invention relates to a solar cell module, and particularly to a solar cell module used for photovoltaic power generation.
- thin-film solar cell modules using amorphous semiconductors can be mass-produced and can be made into a simple substrate-integrated storage device, which is advantageous in terms of cost. I am collecting.
- the outline of the manufacturing process of this thin film solar cell module with a substrate integrated type structure is as follows. First, by a thermal CVD method or the like on a glass substrate to form a transparent electrode layer such as S n 0 2, patterned by laser processing or the like. Next, an optical semiconductor layer is formed thereon by a plasma CVD method or the like, and similarly patterned by laser processing or the like. Then, after forming a metal film or a transparent electrode and a gold-bend multilayer film as a back electrode layer by a vapor deposition method or the like, a plurality of optical semiconductor elements are formed by final patterning. It is formed by wiring on a single glass substrate.
- the back surface is sealed and protected with a filler and a back protection sheet to form a solar cell.
- a solar cell module By mounting this solar cell on a supporting member such as an aluminum frame via a sealing material such as butyl rubber, a solar cell module can be easily manufactured.
- FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of an example of a conventional thin-film solar cell module having a substrate-integrated integrated structure.
- this solar cell module includes a solar cell 1 and an aluminum frame 21 that supports solar cell 1, and solar cell 1 is made of aluminum.
- ⁇ Fitted into the frame 21 via a sealing material 4 made of butyl rubber.
- FIG. 8 is an enlarged partial cross-sectional view showing the solar cell 1 of the solar cell module shown in FIG.
- this solar cell 1 has one glass substrate 10 and a glass substrate
- a plurality of optical semiconductor elements 50 comprising a transparent electrode layer 20, an optical semiconductor layer 30, and a back electrode layer 40 sequentially formed on 10 are provided.
- the element formation surface (back surface) side of the glass substrate 10 is sealed with a filler 60 and protected by a back surface protection sheet 70.
- FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of another example of a conventional thin-film solar cell module having a substrate-integrated integrated structure. This solar cell module was designed to be installed on the roof of a building.
- this solar cell module includes a solar cell 1, a support 5 for supporting solar cell 1, and a holding member 23.
- the support 5 is made of wood, and the holding member 23 is made of aluminum.
- the support 5 can be attached to an iron plate (not shown) laid on the roof of the building.
- a cushion material 33 made of, for example, polyurethane is interposed between the solar cell 1 and the support 5. Note that the structure of the solar cell 1 is exactly the same as that shown in FIG. 8, and a description thereof will be omitted.
- the solar cell module configured in this way has not only stable power generation characteristics, but also weather resistance to environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, acid rain, and heat. Since it is installed, it is an important reliability requirement that mechanical damage such as cracking does not occur.
- the inventors examined the cause of the decrease in the absolute withstand voltage. Since the mounting structure of the support member for supporting the solar cell is the same as that of the crystalline cell battery module, the following problems were found to occur.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a problem in a conventional substrate-integrated thin-film solar cell module.
- the sealing material 4 made of butyl rubber is interposed when the solar cell 1 is assembled to the frame 21.
- the sealing material 4 made of butyl rubber flows. Therefore, it has been found that the solar cell 1 moves within the frame 21 and the solar cell 1 comes into contact with the frame 21.
- the sealing material 4 is plastically deformed, the solar cell 1 easily moves downward due to the load of the solar cell 1.
- the transparent electrode layer 20 goes around the side surface of the glass substrate 10 and the light incident surface side opposite to the optical semiconductor element formation surface. There is. In this case, only the glass substrate 10 comes into contact with the frame 21, and the insulated state cannot be maintained. In particular, in the solar cell module having the structure shown in FIG. 10, since the glass substrate 10 and the pressing member 23 made of aluminum are in contact with each other, when the transparent electrode layer 20 wraps around, the insulating state is obtained. Maintenance becomes difficult.
- the present inventors have created a situation similar to that of a crystalline solar cell module by removing the transparent electrode layer 20 formed so as to extend to the peripheral portion or the edge of the glass substrate 10. However, it was considered to take measures against extermination.
- the S N_ ⁇ two layers of glass substrate peripheral portion with a grinder or a chamfering So ⁇ also considered a method of removing with a glass substrate.
- this method could not be used because the processing cost would increase and the generation of particles would cause pinholes in the next optical semiconductor layer formation step.
- the inventors focused on the problem of improving the functional reliability of the present positive battery module, in addition to the problem of decreasing the withstand voltage described above.
- a brittle material such as glass or transparent ceramic is used as the glass substrate (hard transparent plate) on the light incident surface side of the solar cell.
- transparent resin glass and ceramics are immediately linked to the terms “glass” and “fragile”. It has the disadvantage of being brittle.
- tempered glass has been widely practiced.
- the temperature of the solar cell may be as high as 70 ° C or more. Solar cells have a structure that absorbs light extremely high in order to improve photoelectric conversion efficiency, and the temperature rise is extremely large compared to structures such as aluminum frames and roofs.
- the frame of the frame and the like is made of metal and has a high thermal conductivity, so that the inventors have found that a large temperature gradient is generated in an operating state with a low thermal conductivity (a hard transparent plate). This is a factor that greatly impairs the mechanical reliability of solar cells. In other words, it is well known that the glass breaks when it is partially quenched or heated, but this is extremely likely to occur even during operation of the solar cell module. There was a problem with the conventional solar cell module.
