The bisection mode is more common. Also known as a half-cell solar cell. In the existing slicing solar cell manufacturing process, a laser cutting machine and other equipment are adopted to slice a whole cell. In the laser slicing process, the laser partially melts the battery piece along the set path, and then the battery piece is broken along the set path through mechanical force to realize slicing. However, the laser damage region and the mechanical fracture region are formed at the cut edge of the cell, so that the silicon atoms in the cell cannot maintain the original ordered arrangement state, a dangling bond is formed, the efficiency of the cell is reduced, and the external output power of the cut-type component is damaged.
