Fig. 10: eine Strom- Spannungskennlinie einer flächigen dotierten Tiθ2~Schicht von typisch 150 nin auf einem Glassubstrat mit TCO Beschichtung (Tee-Glas von Pilkington) und einer dünnen Platin-Schottky- Elektrode mit 20 nm Schichtdicke.10 shows a current-voltage characteristic of a flat doped TiO 2 layer of typically 150 nm on a glass substrate with TCO coating (Pilkington tea glass) and a thin platinum Schottky electrode with a layer thickness of 20 nm.
Figur 1 zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht auf ein einfaches Dünnschicht-PV-System (1) auf Basis einer Monozelle mit dem photosensitiven Bereich (3) und dem TCO (transparent conduetive oxide) Anschluß (4) und einem metallischen Schottky-Kontakt (5) .Figure 1 shows a schematic plan view of a simple thin film PV system (1) based on a mono cell with the photosensitive region (3) and the TCO (transparent conductive oxide) terminal (4) and a metallic Schottky contact (5).
Wird als Halbleitermaterial n-dotiertes TiÜ2 mit einer dünnen Platin-Schottky-Elektrode gewählt, ist auf diese Weise an den Anschlüssen (4, 5} eine Spannung von etwa 0,4 Volt erreichbar. Bei einem typischen Wirkungsgrad von 3 bis 12% ist eine derartige Monozelle nicht für großflächige Formate geeignet, da übliche TCO-Schichten (ITO (indium tin oxide), ATO (antimony tin oxide), FTO (fluorine doped tin oxide), ZnO (Zikoxid), semitransparente metallische Dünnschichten aus Gold, Dünnschichten auf Basis Single-Wall-Carbon-Nanotubes oder Silber-Wire-Dünnschichten) vergleichsweise hohe Flächenwiderstände aufweisen und nur bei gleichzeitig geringere Transparenz für Tageslicht Werte unter 10 Ω/m2 erreichen.
Das TEC Glas # 8/3 der Firma Pilkington Specialty Gla≤s Products, Toledo, OH 43697-0799, USA weist beispielsweise einen elektrischen Flächenwiderstand von ≤ 9 Ω/m2 mit einer Tageslicht-Transmittanz von 77% auf.If n-doped TiO 2 with a thin platinum Schottky electrode is selected as the semiconductor material, a voltage of about 0.4 volts can be achieved at the terminals (4, 5) in this way, with a typical efficiency of 3 to 12% Such a monocell is not suitable for large-area formats, since conventional TCO layers (ITO (indium tin oxide), ATO (antimony tin oxide), FTO (fluorine doped tin oxide), ZnO (ceramics), semitransparent metallic thin films of gold, thin films on Based on single-wall carbon nanotubes or silver wire thin films) have comparatively high surface resistivities and achieve values below 10 Ω / m 2 only with simultaneously lower transparency for daylight. For example, the TEC glass # 8/3 from Pilkington Specialty Glaà ± s Products, Toledo, OH 43697-0799, USA has an electrical sheet resistance of ≦ 9 Ω / m 2 with a daylight transmittance of 77%.
Da bei der gewählten Schottky-Kontakt PV-Lösung eine Elektrodenseite möglichst für Sonnenlicht transparent gestaltet werden muss, ist es gerade bei großen Zellen erforderlich, diese hinsichtlich einer verbesserten elektrischen Leitfähigkeit bei gleichzeitig möglichst geringer Reduzierung der Durchlässigkeit von Sonnenlicht zu optimieren.Since with the selected Schottky contact PV solution one side of the electrode must be made transparent to sunlight as far as possible, it is necessary, especially in the case of large cells, to optimize it for improved electrical conductivity while at the same time minimizing the reduction in the transmission of sunlight.
Dabei helfen vorzugsweise so genannte Busbars, also elektrisch hoch leitfähige Leitungen, die üblicherweise im Randbereich angeordnet werden, die Strombelastung zu reduzieren.Preferably, so-called busbars, ie electrically highly conductive lines, which are usually arranged in the edge region, help to reduce the current load.
Busbars in Form von Silber-, Silber-Aluminium- oder Aluminiumpasten werden je nach erforderlichem Design mittels Siebdruck, Schablonendruck, Dispenser, InkJet, Aerosol-Jet oder Pinsel aufgetragen werden anschließen einer Temperaturbehandlung unterzogen. Übliche Busbarsysteme sind in der Lage Ströme im Ampere-Bereich bis zu einigen 10 Ampere je nach Dicke und Breite des Busbars ohne wesentliche Erwärmung zu leiten.Busbars in the form of silver, silver aluminum or aluminum pastes are applied according to the required design by means of screen printing, stencil printing, dispenser, inkjet, aerosol jet or brush, followed by a heat treatment. Conventional bus bar systems are capable of conducting currents in the ampere-range up to several 10 amps, depending on the thickness and width of the busbar, without substantial heating.
In Figur 1 sind schematisch ein Busbar links zur Kontaktierung der TCO-Schicht mit dem Anschluß 4 dargestellt und ein Busbar rechts zur Kontaktierung des metallischenFIG. 1 schematically shows a busbar on the left for contacting the TCO layer with the terminal 4, and a busbar on the right for contacting the metallic one
Schottky-Kontaktes" mit dem Anschluß 5. Grundsätzlich können jedoch viele Arten von Busbar-Ausführungen verwendet werden.
Es kann die TCO-Schicht an zwei gegenüberliegenden Busbars und die metallische Schicht an den zwei 90° versetzen gegenüberliegenden Kanten kontaktiert werden und es kann die TCO-Schicht an allen vier Kanten mit einem Busbar versehen werden und die metallische Schicht kann flächig rückseitig elektrisch kontaktiert werden.Schottky contact "to the terminal 5. In principle, however, many types of busbar versions can be used. The TCO layer can be contacted at two opposite busbars and the metallic layer at the two 90 ° opposite edges, and the TCO layer can be provided with a busbar at all four edges and the metallic layer can be electrically contacted at the back ,
In Figur 2 wird ein schematischer Querschnitt durch ein einfaches Dünnschicht-PV-System 1 aufgezeigt. Dabei kann ein Glassubstrat 12 mit einer pyrolytisch aufgebrachten TCO- Schicht 6 verwendet werden, wie beispielsweise das TEC Glas # 8/3 oder 15/3.3 oder 15/4 der Firma Pilkington Specialty Glass Products, oder es können im Vakuum elektrisch leitfähig und weitgehend transparent beschichtete Gläser verwendet werden oder es können SoIGeI- oder Galvank-TCO- Beschichtungssysteme verwendet v/erden .FIG. 2 shows a schematic cross section through a simple thin-film PV system 1. In this case, a glass substrate 12 can be used with a pyrolytically deposited TCO layer 6, such as the TEC glass # 8/3 or 15 / 3.3 or 15/4 from Pilkington Specialty Glass Products, or it can be electrically conductive and substantially transparent in a vacuum coated glasses or using SoIGeI or Galvank TCO coating systems.
Die TCO-Schicht 6 wird im rechten Randbereich mittels Laserablation oder Schleifen oder Sandstrahlen oder Ätzen entfernt (d.h. die Schicht wird strukturiert), bevorzugt mittels Laserablation oder Ätzen, da derartige Prozesse keine Mikrorisse verursachen und da ein Laserablationsprozess zur Zeit bereits mit 10 bis 100 cma/sec Ablationsgeschwindigkeit durchführbar ist und sehr gut auf die zu ablatierende Schicht beziehungsweise Schichtfolge eingestellt werden kann. Dies gilt ebenso für die ätztechnische Strukturierung.The TCO layer 6 is removed in the right edge region by means of laser ablation or grinding or sandblasting or etching (ie the layer is patterned), preferably by means of laser ablation or etching, since such processes do not cause microcracks and since a laser ablation process is currently already 10 to 100 cm a / sec Ablationsgeschwindigkeit is feasible and can be very well adjusted to the layer to be ablated or layer sequence. This also applies to the etching-technical structuring.
Als alternatives Herstellverfahren (nicht in Fig. 2 dargestellt) können auf ein Glassubstrat zuerst die beiden Busbar-Kontaktlinien 10, 11 aufgebracht v/erden und anschließend wird die TCO-Schicht 6 vollflächig aufgebracht
und mittels beispielsweise Laserablation oder Ätzen strukturiert.As an alternative manufacturing method (not shown in FIG. 2), the two busbar contact lines 10, 11 can first be applied to a glass substrate, and then the TCO layer 6 is applied over its entire area and patterned by, for example, laser ablation or etching.
Anschließend wird die nanokristalline halbleitende Dünnschicht 7 auf Basis eines Halbleiters der Gruppe TiO2, TiO2, SrTiO3, Cu2S, ZnO, VJO3, CdS, MoS2, CdSeS, SnO2, Pb3O4, CdSe, bevorzugt TiO2, aufgetragen. Die Trocken-Schichtstärke beträgt erfindungsgemäß 150 nm bis ca. 2500 nm, bevorzugt jedoch 500 nm bis 1000 nm. Als Herstellverfahren kann im Labormafistab Dipcoating zum Einsatz kommen. Bei größeren Flächen wird Rakeln, Rollenbeschichtung, Vorhanggießen, Drucken oder Sprühen als Beschichtungsverfahren bevorzugt. Auch diese Schicht xαuss strukturiert hergestellt werden. Dies kann durch eine vorhergehende Abdeckung der Busbar-Bereiche (10, 11) erfolgen oder einer nachträglichen ätztechnischen Strukturierung oder lasertechnischen Ablation.Subsequently, the nanocrystalline semiconductive thin film 7 based on a semiconductor of the group TiO 2 , TiO 2 , SrTiO 3 , Cu 2 S, ZnO, VJO 3 , CdS, MoS 2 , CdSeS, SnO 2 , Pb 3 O 4 , CdSe, preferably TiO 2 , applied. The dry layer thickness is according to the invention 150 nm to about 2500 nm, but preferably 500 nm to 1000 nm. As a manufacturing process dipcoating can be used in Labormafistab. For larger areas, knife coating, roll coating, curtain coating, printing or spraying is preferred as the coating method. This layer can also be produced in a structured manner. This can be done by a previous coverage of the bus bar areas (10, 11) or a subsequent etching-technical structuring or laser ablation.
Auf die halbleitende Dünnschicht 7 wird nunmehr der metallische Schottky-Kontakt 8 in der Form einer dünnen Schicht von einigen 10 nm auf Basis eines Metalls aus der Gruppe Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, 0s, Ir, Pt, Au, Al, Cr, Cu, Ni, Mo, Pb, Ta, W, insbesondere Pt, Pd, Au oder Ni, aufgebracht. Von den genannten Metallen wurden bevorzugt mit Platin, Gold, Palladium und Nickel Versuche durchgeführt.On the semiconductive thin film 7 is now the metallic Schottky contact 8 in the form of a thin layer of some 10 nm based on a metal from the group Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, 0s, Ir, Pt, Au, Al, Cr, Cu, Ni, Mo, Pb, Ta, W, in particular Pt, Pd, Au or Ni, applied. Of the metals mentioned, preference was given to experiments with platinum, gold, palladium and nickel.
Auch diese Schicht muss strukturiert v/erden. Hierfür kann ein Maskier-Ätztechnik Verfahren oder ebenfalls Laserablation verwendet werden. Als Herstellverfahren ist ein Vakuum- Verfahren im Sinne eines Sputtervorgangs oder eines Aufdampfvorganges sehr gut geeignet, da lediglich einige wenige- 10 nm Schichtstärke erforderlich sind. Es können
jedoch eine Reihe weiterer Verfahren wie eine chemische bzw. galvanischen Abscheidung zum Einsatz kommen.This layer must also be structured. For this purpose, a masking etching technique or also laser ablation can be used. As a production method, a vacuum method in the sense of a sputtering process or a vapor deposition process is very well suited, since only a few-10 nm layer thickness are required. It can However, a number of other methods such as a chemical or galvanic deposition are used.
Diese Metallschicht 8, die auch als Schotüky-Elektrode bezichnet werden kann, kann grundsätzlich bei einer schmalen Ausführungsform mit dem Busbar 11 verbunden werden. Das wesentliche Kriterium dabei ist der Spannungsabfall aufgrund eines zu hohen Flächenwiderstandes. Üblicherweise wird aus Kosten- und Funktionsgründen eine verstärkende und gut elektrisch leitfähige zweite Schicht 9 auf der Elektrode 8 angeordnet. Diese zusätzliche Schicht 9 muss ebenfalls strukturiert ausgeführt werden . Die Strukturierung kann mittels Maskier-Ätztechnik oder mittels Laser-Ablation erfolgen. Die zweite Schicht 9 kann alternastiv mittels Siebdruck, Schablonendruck, Dispensen, InkJet oder AerosolJet hergestellt werden.This metal layer 8, which can also be referred to as a Schotüky electrode, can in principle be connected to the bus bar 11 in a narrow embodiment. The main criterion here is the voltage drop due to an excessively high surface resistance. Usually, for cost and functional reasons, a reinforcing and highly electrically conductive second layer 9 is arranged on the electrode 8. This additional layer 9 must also be structured. The structuring can take place by means of masking etching or by means of laser ablation. The second layer 9 can be manufactured by means of screen printing, stencil printing, dispensing, inkjet or aerosoljet.
Das Glassubstrat 12 wird in Figur 2 von unten mit der Sonnenbestrahlung 15 der Sonne 14 bestrahlt. Um die Reflektion der einfallen Lichtstrahlen 15 zu reduzieren kann das Glassubstrat 12 mit einer Antireflektionsoberflache 13 in der Form einer prismierten Oberfläche oder Antireflexbeschichtung versehen werden.The glass substrate 12 is irradiated in Figure 2 from below with the sun 15 of the sun 14. In order to reduce the reflection of the incident light rays 15, the glass substrate 12 may be provided with an antireflection surface 13 in the form of a prism surface or antireflection coating.
Die photovoltaisch generierte Spannung von typisch etwa 0,4 Volt kann an den Busbars 10,11 mit der Kontaktierung 4, 5 abgegriffen v/erden.The photovoltaically generated voltage of typically about 0.4 volts can be tapped at the busbars 10, 11 with the contacting 4, 5.
Das Glassubstrat 2 wird üblicherweise in der Form eines getemperten Floatglas beziehungsvjei.se in der Form eines teilvorgespannten Glases (TVG) oder eines EJnscheibensicherheitsglases (ESG) eingesetzt. Neben einem
üblichen Floatglas werden eine eisenoxidarmes Weißglas beziehungsweise Solarglas bevorzugt verwendet.The glass substrate 2 is usually used in the form of a tempered float glass or the like in the form of a tempered glass (TVG) or an E-pane safety glass (ESG). In addition to one usual float glass, a low-iron white glass or solar glass are preferably used.
Figur 3 zeigt ein Schematischer Querschnitt durch eine Dünnschicht-PV-Multizelle 2 bestehend aus drei in Serie geschaltete Einzelzellen 16, 17, 18. Bei der Verwendung einer schmalen Breite der Einzelzelle 16, 17, 18 kann die zusätzliche metallische Schicht 9 entfallen und die metallische Schicht 8 kann die Serienverschaltung (nicht im Detail dargestellt) übernehmen. Die Anzahl der in Serie geschalteten 2ellen kann auf den jeweiligen Anwendungsfall abgestimmt ausgeführt v/erden.FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-section through a thin-film PV multi-cell 2 consisting of three series-connected single cells 16, 17, 18. When using a narrow width of the single cell 16, 17, 18, the additional metallic layer 9 can be omitted and the metallic one Layer 8 can take over the series connection (not shown in detail). The number of series connected in series can be adapted to the respective application.
Auch bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 3 können die Busbars 10, 11 vor der Anbringung der TCO-Schicht β aufgebracht werden. Der Busbar 11 kann auch grundsätzlich entfallen, wenn die metallisch gut leitfähige zweite Schicht 9 die Busbar-Funktion übernimmt, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt.Also in the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the busbars 10, 11 can be applied before the attachment of the TCO layer β. The busbar 11 can also be dispensed with in principle if the metallically highly conductive second layer 9 assumes the busbar function, as shown in FIG.
Figur 4 zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht auf einFigure 4 shows a schematic plan view of a
Dünnschicht-PV-Systerα in Serienschaltung 19. In dieser Ausführungsform werden längliche Zellen 16, 17, 18 in Serie, wie in Figur 3 dargelegt, verwendet. Die Anzahl der Zellen kann dabei auf die jeweilige Anwendung und die geforderte Spannung angestimmt werden. Je schmaler die einzelnen Zellen ausgeführt werden, desto geringere Anforderungen v/erden an die elektrische Leitfähigkeit der TCO-Schicht 6 gestellt. Auch an die elektrische Leitfähigkeit der Schichten 8, 9 werden dann weniger Anforderungen gestellt.Thin film PV-Systerα in series 19. In this embodiment, elongated cells 16, 17, 18 are used in series as set forth in FIG. The number of cells can be tuned to the particular application and the required voltage. The narrower the individual cells are carried out, the lower the requirements placed on the electrical conductivity of the TCO layer 6. Also on the electrical conductivity of the layers 8, 9 then less demands are made.
Figur 5 zeigt -eine schematische Draufsicht auf ein Dünnschicht~PV-System in Serien- und Parallelschaltung (20 ) .
Dabei v/erden die vertikal gezeichneten Zellen 16, 17, 18 in Zellenlinien 22, 23, 24, 25 getrennt und die Zellenlinien 22,Figure 5 shows a schematic plan view of a thin film PV system in series and parallel connection (20). In this case, the vertically drawn cells 16, 17, 18 are separated in cell lines 22, 23, 24, 25 and the cell lines 22,
23, 24, 25 werden in Serie geschaltet und dann an den Breitseiten mit den Kontakten 4, 5 kontaktiert. Die Anzahl der Spalten 16, 17, 18 und die Anzahl der Zeilen 22, 23, 24, 25 kann auf die jeweilige Anwendimg abgestimmt werden. Die Ge samtSpannung, die an den Kontakten 4, 5 abgegriffen werden kann, wird durch die Anzahl der Spalten 16, 17, 18, also der Anzahl in Serie geschalteter Zellen bestimmt. In dieser Ausbildung müssen die einzelnen Zellen sehr gleichmäßig und mit geringer Streuung in den wesentlichen Parametern hergestellt v/erden, da die Gefahr des Rückwärtsstroins und damit einhergehend der Zerstörung von Zellen gegeben ist.23, 24, 25 are connected in series and then contacted at the broad sides with the contacts 4, 5. The number of columns 16, 17, 18 and the number of lines 22, 23, 24, 25 can be adapted to the respective application. The Ge total voltage that can be tapped at the contacts 4, 5, is determined by the number of columns 16, 17, 18, that is, the number of cells connected in series. In this embodiment, the individual cells have to be prepared very uniformly and with little scattering in the essential parameters, since there is the danger of backward thrusts and concomitant destruction of cells.
Figur 6 zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht auf einFigure 6 shows a schematic plan view of a
Dünnschicht-PV-System in Serien- und Parallelschaltung mit Bypassdioden 26.Thin-film PV system in series and parallel connection with bypass diodes 26.
In dieser Ausführungsform wird eine von vielen möglichen Schutzmöglichkeiten gegen die Zerstörung von Zellen aufgrund von Rückwärtsströmen angegeben und werden deshalb sogenannte Bypassdioden 26 in die in Serie geschalteten Zellen 22, 23,In this embodiment, one of many possible protections against the destruction of cells due to reverse currents is indicated and therefore are called bypass diodes 26 in series connected cells 22, 23,
24, 25 geschaltet. Schematisiert sind die Schutzdioden beziehungsweise Bypassdioden 26 auf dem Glassubstrat dargestellt. Grundsätzlich können diese Dioden 26 in der Form von SMD-Dioden 26 direkt auf dem Glas kontaktiert v/erden, sie können jedoch ebenso gerrennt vom Glas angewendet v/erden und müssten in diesem Fall die einzelnen in Serie geschalteten Zellen mit getrennten Kontaktierungen versehen werden.24, 25 switched. Schematically, the protective diodes or bypass diodes 26 are shown on the glass substrate. In principle, these diodes 26 may be contacted directly on the glass in the form of SMD diodes 26, but they may also be applied to the glass in a flash and, in this case, the individual cells connected in series would have to be provided with separate contacts.
Figur 7 zeigt einen schematischen Querschnitt durch eine Dünnschicht-PV-Doppeizelle 27.
Grundsätzlich sind in der Dünnschicht-PV Anordnung unter Nutzung des Schot-εky-Dioden Effektes und der möglichen Paarungen Halbleiter zu Metall nur geringe Spannungen erzielbar.FIG. 7 shows a schematic cross section through a thin-film PV double cell 27. Basically, in the thin-film PV arrangement using the Schot εky diode effect and the possible pairings semiconductor to metal only low voltages can be achieved.
Bei dem bevorzugt eingesetzten System TCO-TiO2 (n-dotiert) -Pt werden etwa 0,4 Volt photovoltaisch erzeugt. Derartige Spannungen sind für viele Anwendungen zu gering und bewirken üblicherweise hohe Ströme, die mit üblichen Dünnschichtstrukturen schwierig zu verarbeiten sind.In the preferred system used TCO-TiO 2 (n-doped) -Pt about 0.4 volts are generated photovoltaic. Such voltages are too low for many applications and usually cause high currents, which are difficult to process with conventional thin-film structures.
Da alle diese flächigen Schottky-Dioden Schichten extrem dünn sind, stellt die in z-Richtung übereinander angeordnete Doppelzelle eine relativ einfache Möglichkeit dar, die Zellspannung durch die Serienschaltung dieser beiden übereinander angeordneten Zellen zu erhöhen und natürlich auch damit den Wirkungsgrad, wobei die Mehrkosten im Verhältnis als gering zu bewerten sind.Since all these flat Schottky diode layers are extremely thin, the double cell arranged in z-direction is a relatively simple way to increase the cell voltage through the series connection of these two superimposed cells and of course the efficiency, the additional costs Ratio are considered low.
Grundsätzlich ist auch eine Verdreifachung in Analogie zu dieser Verdoppelung möglich und würden damit an den Kontakten 4, 5 bis zu 1,2 Volt zur Verfügung stehen. Es versteht sich, dass bei einer derartigen Stapelung der PV-Systeme diese hinreichend transparent ausgebildet sein müssen, so dass auch das vom eingestrahlten Licht abgewanαte System noch Strahlung absorbieren kann.In principle, a tripling in analogy to this doubling is possible and would thus be available at the contacts 4, 5 up to 1.2 volts. It is understood that in the case of such a stacking of the PV systems, these systems must be made sufficiently transparent, so that the system deviated from the incident light can still absorb radiation.
In der Doppelzellenvariante 27 wird zusätzlich auf die erste Metallsσhicht 8 der ersten Zelle eine zweite TCO-Schicht 28 angeordner zwecks Verbesserung der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit und auf dieser Schicht wird die zweite halbleitende Schicht 29 und die zweite Metallschicht 30 angeordnet und die bisher
übliche elektrisch gut leitende zweite Metallschicht 9 wird wie bei der Einfachzelle bis zum Kontakt 5 beziehungsweise einem allfälligen Busbar 11 geführt.In the double-cell variant 27, a second TCO layer 28 is additionally arranged on the first metal layer 8 of the first cell for the purpose of improving the electrical conductivity and on this layer the second semiconductive layer 29 and the second metal layer 30 are arranged and the previously usual electrically good conductive second metal layer 9 is performed as in the single cell to the contact 5 or a possible busbar 11.
Da üblicherweise die bevorzugten halbleitend ausgebildeten nanoskaligen TiO2-Schichten eine gute Absorption im UV- Bereich aufweisen, ist bei der Wahl der metallischen Schichten auf eine möglichst geringe UV-Absorption zu achten beziehungsweise wird zur Erhöhung des Wirkungsgrades auch ein Glassubstrat 12 mit einer möglichst geringen UV-Absorption gewählt .Since usually the preferred semiconducting nanoscale TiO 2 layers have a good absorption in the UV range, in the choice of the metallic layers the lowest possible UV absorption is to be respected, or to increase the efficiency a glass substrate 12 with the lowest possible UV absorption selected.
Weiterhin kann die Dicke der ersten und der zweiten und gegebenenfalls der dritten halbleitende Schicht 7, 29 an einen gleichmäßigen Energieertrag angepasst werden, so dass die einzelnen.Furthermore, the thickness of the first and the second and optionally the third semiconducting layer 7, 29 can be adapted to a uniform energy yield, so that the individual.
Die Varianten mit übereinander angeordneten Mehrfachzellen können ebenfalls in Serien- und Parallelschaltungssystemen verwendet werden,The multi-cell stacked variants can also be used in series and parallel circuit systems.
Figur 8 zeigt einen schematischen Querschnitt durch eine Dünnschicht-PV-Anordnung in der Ausführung eines Laminatverbundes mit einer Haftverbundfolie 38.FIG. 8 shows a schematic cross section through a thin-film PV arrangement in the form of a laminate composite with an adhesive composite film 38.
In dieser Anordnung wird eine Haftverbundfolie 38 in der Form einer Ethylenvinylacetat (EVA) Folie oder einer Polyvinylbutiral (PVB) Folie zwecks Lamination mit einem rückseitigen Substrat 39 vorgesehen. Im kristallinen PV- Modul-Herstellprozess sind üblicherweise EVA Folien mit einem polymeren Sandwichlaminat 39 und einem relativ einfachen Tischlarninator üblich und im Fassadenglasbereich werden
üblicherweise zumindest 370 μm dicke oder doppelt und dreifach so dicke PVB Folien in Verbindung mit einem Glassubstrat 39 verwendet. Das Sandwichlaminat 39 kann dabei ein -Laminat " aus "eiriex 'dünnen PVF-Folie mit einer dünnen PET- Folie sein und es kann auch noch eine dünne Aluminiumfolie dazwischen als Wasserdampfbarriereschicht angeordnet sein. Als typisches Beispiel einer derartigen Folie wird eine Ϊcosolar-Folie der Firma Isovolta genannt. Der Vorteil der Verwendung eines derartigen Rückseitensubstrates 39 liegt im geringeren Gewicht verglichen mit einem 3 bis 6 mm dicken Glas und im einfacheren Laπύnierprozess .In this arrangement, an adhesive film 38 in the form of an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film or a polyvinyl butyral (PVB) film is provided for lamination to a back substrate 39. In the crystalline PV module manufacturing process, EVA films having a polymeric sandwich laminate 39 and a relatively simple table bleacher are commonly used in the facade glass sector Typically at least 370 microns thick or twice and three times as thick PVB films used in conjunction with a glass substrate 39. The sandwich laminate 39 may in this case a -Laminate "off" eiriex 'thin PVF film with a thin PET film and it can be also a thin aluminum film may be interposed therebetween as a water vapor barrier layer. A typical example of such a film is a Ϊcosolar film from Isovolta called. The advantage of using such a backside substrate 39 is lower weight compared to a 3 to 6 mm thick glass and in the simpler Laπύnierprozess.
Bei Verwendung von einem Rückseitensubstrat 39 in Form von Glas kann eine ESG Verbund realisiert werden und es können damit und mit der Verwendung von PVB als Haftverbundfolie 38 Fassadenelemente in Gebäuden beziehungsweise Vordachelemente oder allgemeine Dachelement und Brüstungselemente realisiert werden. Üblicherweise wird dabei das Glassubstrat 39 in Form eines zumindest teilvorgespannten Glases (TVG) oder eines Einscheibensicherheitsglases (ESG) verwendet.When using a back substrate 39 in the form of glass, an ESG bond can be realized and it can thus and with the use of PVB as adhesive film 38 facade elements in buildings or canopy elements or general roof element and parapet elements can be realized. Usually, the glass substrate 39 is used in the form of an at least partially tempered glass (TVG) or a toughened safety glass (ESG).
Figur 9 zeigt einen schematischen Querschnitt durch eine Dünnschicht~PV-Anordnung in einem Isolierglasverbund mit einer rückseitigen Glasscheibe 31 aufgezeigt. In dieser Ausführung ist die Dünnschicht-PV-Anordnung auf der Ebene 2 angeordnet, also der Innenseite der Glasscheibe 12. Grundsätzlich kann die Dünnschicht-PV-Anordnung auch auf der Ebene 3, also der Innenseite der Glasscheibe 31 angeordnet werden, allerdings reflektiert dann die Innenseite der Scheibe 12 Licht und wäre diese Seite mit einerFIG. 9 shows a schematic cross section through a thin-film PV arrangement in an insulating glass composite with a rear glass pane 31. In this embodiment, the thin-film PV array is arranged on the level 2, ie the inside of the glass pane 12. In principle, the thin-film PV array can also be arranged on the level 3, ie the inside of the glass pane 31, but then reflects the Inside the disc 12 light and would be this side with a
Antireflektionsschicht zu" versehen, um eine zu starke
Reduktion der einstrahlenden Sonnenstrahlen 15 der Sonne 14 zu vermeiden.Antireflection layer too " provided too strong Reduction of the incoming sun rays 15 of the sun 14 to avoid.
Der Isolierglasverbund aus zwei Glasscheiben 12, 31 wird dabei nach dem Stand der Technik hergestellt, also mit einem urnlaufenden Abstandshalterprofil 32 mit darin eingefülltem Trocknungsmittel 33 und mit Öffnungen 36 im Äbstandshalter zum Isolierglasinnenraum 37.The insulating glass composite of two glass panes 12, 31 is produced according to the prior art, ie with a running spacer profile 32 with desiccant 33 filled therein and with openings 36 in the spacer to the insulating glass interior 37.
Der Abstandshalter wird mit einem pr-imären Dichtungsmittel 34 wie Butylen beziehungsweise Polyisobutylen (PIB) mit den beiden Glasscheiben 12, 31 verbunden und mit einem sekundären Dichtungsmittel 35 umlaufend abgeschlossen. Als sekundäres Dichtungsmittel 35 kann Silikon beziehungsweise Polydimetylsiloxane (PDMS) oder Pulyurethane (PU) oder Polysulfid (PS) verwendet werden.The spacer is bonded to the two sheets of glass 12, 31 with a prearear sealant 34 such as butylene or polyisobutylene (PIB) and circumferentially sealed with a secondary sealant 35.
