Specific implementation mode
With detailed reference to the various embodiments of the disclosure, one or more examples of these embodiments show in the accompanying drawings Go out.In to being described below of attached drawing, same reference numerals refer to same components.In general, it only describes relative to independent The difference of embodiment.Each example illustrates to provide by the disclosure, and is not intended to the limitation as the disclosure.In addition, showing Go out or be described as an embodiment part feature can be used for other embodiment or combined with other embodiment with Generate further embodiment.Description is intended to include such modifications and variations.
The disclosure solar cell arrangement can be tile style solar cell, it be also referred to as " superbattery " or " super battery ".Solar cell arrangement can be used in solar cell module.Solar cell arrangement can be by multiple portions The solar cell part (being also known as " solar cell device ") of overlapping is made.Adjacent solar battery part is in overlapping region It is electrically connected to each other.Solar cell part is connected in series with so that the electric current generated by independent solar cell part is along a succession of due-in Solar cell (for example, in end section of solar cell arrangement) flowing of collection.Overlapping can provide efficiently too Positive energy battery arrangement.Specifically, solar cell arrangement allows to increase module by increasing using area or effective coverage Power.It can be (for example) 20 to 40 watts by modular power increase in general, overlapping.Using area or effective coverage can correspond to In the region for being irradiated by sunlight and being participated in power generation.For example, using area or effective coverage can correspond to solar energy The region that battery is not covered by (for example) wire pattern (such as finger-shaped material and/or bus-bar).
In some cases, when compared with other solar cell parts that solar cell is arranged, solar cell cloth The solar cell part set can have high resistance and/or poor efficiency.Including but not limited to solar cell arrangement and/or too The overall performance of the modular power of positive energy battery module can be largely by the solar energy with high resistance and/or poor efficiency Battery part is influenced or is determined.This low-quality solar cell part specifically serves as " bottleneck " in solar cell arrangement.
It is small piece that solar cell is detached (for example, cutting) by embodiment of the present disclosure, they are then classified simultaneously Distribute at least two different solar cell arrangements.For example, each solar cell part can be based on solar cell part One or more geometry and/or physical property be assigned to corresponding solar cell arrangement.Thus solar cell arrangement can be It is made by the solar cell device with similar characteristic and/or quality, and the overall efficiency of solar cell arrangement can be with Improvement.The modular power of solar cell module with solar cell arrangement can increase, specifically because can keep away Exempt from caused by low-quality solar cell part " bottleneck ".
