Solar photovoltaic panel self-made welding

Can solar cells be used in photovoltaic modules?

Connection of Cells in Photovoltaic Modules. As shown in Fig. 5, the solar cells in the modules with different surface structures of welding strips have no cracks, and there is no open welding, false welding and desoldering, which indicates that it can be used for the subsequent research.

What are the physical properties of solar cell welding materials?

The thickness of silicon wafer is 160 μm, the thickness of PV copper strip is 0.1 mm, the thickness of Sn alloy coating is 15 μm and 25 μm respectively. The physical properties of materials used in solar cell welding are shown in Table 6.

How welding strip affect the power of photovoltaic module?

The quality of welding strip will directly affect the current collection efficiency of photovoltaic module, so it has a great impact on the power of photovoltaic module. The so-called photovoltaic welding strip is to coat binary or ternary low-melting alloy on the surface of copper strip with given specification.

What is a photovoltaic module?

In photovoltaic modules, photovoltaic electrodes are mainly used to connect electricity, and the current collected by the main grid of solar cells is transmitted through photovoltaic electrodes . The power loss of PV assembly mainly includes optical and electrical losses.

How to reduce the shading area of a photovoltaic welding strip?

The shading area of the photovoltaic welding strip is reduced by reducing the width of the main grid line and the PV welding strip, and the total amount of light received by the solar cell is increased. However, the contact resistance of the whole PV assembly is too large, which increases the electrical loss of the photovoltaic module.

How solar simulator affect the size of photovoltaic welding strip?

According to IEC61215 standard, the light emitted by solar simulator is vertically incident on the surface of photovoltaic welding strip through glass and EVA. The change of surface structure of photovoltaic welding strip will change the reflection path of light on the surface of photovoltaic welding strip, affecting the size of α 1 in Fig. 1.
