Description

Carry the system and method for at least one member of at least one coating of a plurality of solar energy module members for static
Technical field
Relate generally to optoelectronic components of the present invention, and relate more specifically to for safety, sane, cost is effective and the system and method for at least one member of at least one coating of eco-friendly mode static carrying (handle) a plurality of solar energy module members.
Background technology
The manufacture of solar energy module is comprised of the coating of at least two material members.Material members can be rigid member, sealant, active member or back side member.Rigid member can comprise glass, reinforced plastics or pottery.Sealant can comprise EVA, PVB and silicon.Active member can comprise solar cell, crystal or the film of any type.Back side member can comprise polyvinyl fluoride.These materials are generally known in the production of solar energy module, especially in the lamination solar energy module.Yet they can also use in other processing methods, such as curtain coating (curtain coating) or injection mo(u)lding.
When a plurality of layer (being called coating) of mobile a pile, the air-flow on (or a plurality of) member can make member from its/displacement of their desired locations.Correspondingly, can not be as the mobile so fast coating of expectation.
And, during lamination, in some process, the material of the member of coating before producing vacuum with together with coating is pressed in before heat up.If the top member of coating is EVA, EVA may melt.Now, along with producing vacuum, be captured on the bubble blast that the air below EVA can make EVA form.In addition, be captured on air below partial melting EVA and may no longer feel and upwards promote from top any pressure and by EVA, EVA is expanded.
In addition, excessive if the bubble formed in EVA like this becomes, it may pop, and stays the zone that there is no EVA.If bubble popped in its hour, EVA may be pulled to side a bit, but all the other spaces in EVA may be small enough to during lamination, be closed after a while when EVA is melted and because applied pressure starts to flow.If bubble is larger, EVA may be pulled to side too much and filled gap in processing after a while, stay and have less or there is no the scope of EVA, the adhesive function that may collect gas and moisture during lamination and make EVA is not so effectively and damage battery along with passage of time.In addition, space can in module, be formed on aesthetic on not pleasant bubble.
In addition, the member on all parts of module may not carry out close contact before lamination, because may exist between modular structure, had more and zone less air.Due to during lamination, normally from a side, apply heat, so hot-fluid may be different in the different sections of module: in the captive place of air, transportation is obstructed.Different hot-fluids can be so that the curing so even and/or hot-fluid of EVA may take a long time the temperature that whole coating is heated to expectation in having the zone of entrapped air.If especially use the crystal battery, in the zone between battery, will have air.
Prior art discloses the many technology for the lamination solar energy module, and for example international publication number WO/2010/143117 has lectured the method for lamination solar energy module.Here, the overhead in coating is especially kept off at the top of vacuum chamber.If hot glass sheet is placed on coating above internal vacuum chamber, it may not touch coating (especially in the above form bubble), and therefore must make vacuum chamber relatively large, and the emptying required time of all air is had to negative effect.Correspondingly, need the more time with complete lamination process, therefore make this process slow.

If the bubble 12 formed in the second modular structure 10b like this becomes excessive (as shown in Fig. 3 C and 3F), bubble 12 may due to heat or when touching heat target, pop (Fig. 3 G), stay there is no member 10b regional 14(also referred to as ' ’Huo‘ gap, space ' or ' scope ').In Fig. 3 B and 3C, bubble 12 expands.
If bubble popped in its hour (as shown in Fig. 3 D), the second modular structure 10b can be pulled to side a bit (as shown in Fig. 3 E), but all the other the space 14(in the second modular structure 10b are as shown in Fig. 3 E) may be small enough to after a while, for example be closed during lamination, the second modular structure 10b is melted and, along with exerting pressure, the second modular structure 10b can fill space 14.
If bubble 12 is large (as shown in Fig. 3 F), the second modular structure 10b can be moved too much to side and filled gap 14 in processing after a while, stay there is less member 10b scope 14(as shown in Fig. 3 G), may during lamination, collect gas and moisture, and may make the adhesive function of the second modular structure 10b so ineffective.Scope 14 can form in coating 10 can damage solar cell and not pleasant bubble 14 on aesthetic.
According to exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the second modular structure 10b can be pasted statically to the first modular structure 10a below the second modular structure 10b, thereby prevent that the second modular structure 10b from expanding too much or form at the most the minute bubbles 12 so much and that can be closed after a while that can not expand.For example, during lamination, the second modular structure 10b is melted and, along with exerting pressure, the second modular structure 10b can CAB 12.
Because the modular structure on all parts of solar energy module carries out close contact mutually, thereby form the zone with less air between modular structure.Owing to during lamination, heat must being delivered to next adjacent member from a member, so hot-fluid can equate in the different sections of coating 10.Equal hot-fluid can be so that solidifying of EVA be more even.In addition, hot-fluid can spend the less time whole coating 10 is heated to preferred temperature in having the zone of entrapped air.
With reference to figure 3A to 3G, it illustrates two member 10a and the 10b of exemplary coating 10.The first modular structure 10a can be rigid member, sealant, active member or back side member.Rigid member can comprise glass, reinforced plastics or pottery.Sealant can comprise EVA, PVB and silicon.The first modular structure 10a can comprise solar cell, crystal or the film of any type.Back side member 10c can be polyvinyl fluoride.
