Description

本発明は、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体を主成分とする太陽電池用封止膜、及びこれを用いた太陽電池に関する。   The present invention relates to a solar cell sealing film mainly composed of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and a solar cell using the same.

近年、資源の有効利用や環境汚染の防止等の面から、太陽光を電気エネルギーに直接、変換する太陽電池が広く使用され、更に生産性や耐久性の点から開発が進められている。   In recent years, solar cells that directly convert sunlight into electrical energy have been widely used from the standpoints of effective use of resources and prevention of environmental pollution, and development has been promoted from the viewpoint of productivity and durability.

太陽電池は、例えば、図1に示すように、ガラス基板などからなる表面側透明保護部材11、表面側封止膜13A、シリコン発電素子などの太陽電池用セル14、裏面側封止膜13B、及び裏面側保護部材12をこの順で積層し、減圧で脱気した後、加熱加圧して表面側封止膜13A及び裏面側封止膜13Bを架橋硬化させて接着一体化することにより製造される。従来の太陽電池では、高い電気出力を得るために、接続タブ15により電気的に接続された複数の太陽電池用セル14を接続して用いられている。従って、太陽電池用セル14間の絶縁性を確保するために、絶縁性のある封止膜13A、13Bを用いて太陽電池用セルを封止している。   For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the solar cell includes a surface side transparent protective member 11 made of a glass substrate or the like, a surface side sealing film 13 </ b> A, a solar cell 14 such as a silicon power generation element, a back side sealing film 13 </ b> B, And the back-side protection member 12 are laminated in this order, degassed under reduced pressure, and then heated and pressurized to crosslink and cure the surface-side sealing film 13A and the back-side sealing film 13B to be bonded and integrated. The In the conventional solar battery, in order to obtain a high electric output, a plurality of solar battery cells 14 electrically connected by the connection tab 15 are connected and used. Therefore, in order to ensure insulation between the solar battery cells 14, the solar battery cells are sealed using the sealing films 13A and 13B having insulation properties.

また、積層時の太陽電池用セルを配置する段階では、図2の説明図に示すように、太陽電池用セル14同士をセル止めテープ16で仮止めすることが行われている(特許文献1)。これにより、太陽電池用セル14を所望とする正確な位置に配置し、配置後の太陽電池用セル14の位置ズレを防止することができる。セル止めテープ16としては安価であり透明性に優れることから一般にPETフィルムに粘着剤層を施したものが用いられている。   In addition, at the stage of arranging the solar battery cells at the time of lamination, as shown in the explanatory view of FIG. 2, the solar battery cells 14 are temporarily fixed with the cell stopper tape 16 (Patent Document 1). ). Thereby, the cell 14 for solar cells can be arrange | positioned in the exact position desired, and the position shift of the cell 14 for solar cells after arrangement | positioning can be prevented. As the cell stopper tape 16, a PET film provided with an adhesive layer is generally used because it is inexpensive and excellent in transparency.

また、封止膜13A、13Bには、安価であり高い透明性及び接着性を有することからエチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体(EVA)フィルムなどが従来から用いられている。封止膜用のEVAフィルムには、太陽電池用セルの機械的な耐久性の確保や、湿気又は水の透過による内部の導線や電極の発錆の防止のため、高度な密着性及び接着強度で各部材を接着一体化させる機能が必要である。   For the sealing films 13A and 13B, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) film or the like has been conventionally used because it is inexpensive and has high transparency and adhesiveness. EVA film for sealing film has high adhesion and adhesion strength to ensure mechanical durability of solar cell and prevent rusting of internal conductors and electrodes due to moisture or water permeation. Therefore, the function of bonding and integrating the members is necessary.

EVAフィルムは、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体および架橋剤などを含む組成物を成膜することで作製される。有機過酸化物等の架橋剤を用いてEVAを架橋させることにより、EVAフィルムの接着性、耐久性を向上させることができる。   The EVA film is produced by depositing a composition containing an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and a crosslinking agent. By cross-linking EVA using a cross-linking agent such as an organic peroxide, the adhesiveness and durability of the EVA film can be improved.

また、太陽電池においては、太陽電池に入射した光をできるだけ効率よく太陽電池用セル内に取り込めるようにすることが発電効率の向上の点から望まれている。従って、表面側の太陽電池用封止膜は、できるだけ高い透明性を有し、入射した太陽光を吸収したり、反射したりすることが無く、太陽光のほとんどを透過させるものが望ましい。   Moreover, in a solar cell, it is desired from the point of the improvement of electric power generation efficiency that the light which injected into the solar cell can be taken in in the cell for solar cells as efficiently as possible. Therefore, the solar cell sealing film on the surface side is preferably as transparent as possible, and does not absorb or reflect incident sunlight and transmits most of sunlight.

しかしながら、太陽電池を長期間使用した場合、太陽光、特に紫外線の影響により、封止膜が黄変して、太陽光の透過率が低下する現象がみられること、及びその黄変による外観不良が問題となっている。この問題のため、従来から封止膜には紫外線吸収剤が添加されている。   However, when a solar cell is used for a long period of time, a phenomenon in which the sealing film turns yellow due to the influence of sunlight, particularly ultraviolet rays, and the transmittance of sunlight decreases, and the appearance defect due to the yellowing is observed. Is a problem. Due to this problem, an ultraviolet absorber has been conventionally added to the sealing film.

しかしながら、架橋剤と紫外線吸収剤の組合せ及び添加量によっては、封止膜に黄変が生じることが知られている(特許文献2)。この問題を解消するため、特許文献2では、紫外線吸収剤の含有量を少なくすることにより(封止膜の重量を基準として0.01重量%以下)黄変の防止が図られている。   However, it is known that yellowing occurs in the sealing film depending on the combination and addition amount of the crosslinking agent and the ultraviolet absorber (Patent Document 2). In order to solve this problem, Patent Document 2 attempts to prevent yellowing by reducing the content of the ultraviolet absorber (0.01% by weight or less based on the weight of the sealing film).

特開2003−324211JP 2003-324 211 A 特開2006−66682JP 2006-66682 A

特許文献2の技術では、黄変の原因となる紫外線吸収剤の添加量を減量しているので表面側封止膜の黄変は抑制される。しかしながら、紫外線吸収剤の含有量が減少すると表面側封止膜における紫外線の吸収能力が低下して、セル止めテープが紫外線の影響により黄変して外観特性が低下する問題がある。また、架橋剤も封止膜の黄変を引き起こすことが知られており、その配合量によっては隣接する他の部材との界面での発泡や太陽電池の製造段階における架橋速度に影響を与えることとなる。   In the technique of Patent Document 2, since the amount of the ultraviolet absorber that causes yellowing is reduced, yellowing of the surface side sealing film is suppressed. However, when the content of the ultraviolet absorber is reduced, the ultraviolet absorbing ability of the surface side sealing film is lowered, and there is a problem that the cell stopper tape is yellowed by the influence of ultraviolet rays and the appearance characteristics are lowered. In addition, crosslinking agents are also known to cause yellowing of the sealing film, and depending on the amount, the foaming at the interface with other adjacent members and the crosslinking rate in the solar cell manufacturing stage may be affected. It becomes.

したがって、本発明の目的は、太陽電池用セルが所定の位置にセル止めテープで仮止めされた太陽電池に使用する表面側封止膜であって、表面側封止膜及びセル止めテープの黄変が防止され、架橋速度が良好であり、発泡が抑制された太陽電池用表面側封止膜を提供することにある。   Therefore, an object of the present invention is a surface-side sealing film used for a solar battery in which a solar cell is temporarily fixed with a cell-stopping tape at a predetermined position, and the surface-side sealing film and the yellow of the cell-stopping tape are used. An object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell surface side sealing film in which alteration is prevented, crosslinking speed is good, and foaming is suppressed.

また、本発明の目的は、上記表面側封止膜を使用することにより発電効率が向上し、外観不良が防止された太陽電池を提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is to provide a solar cell in which power generation efficiency is improved and appearance defects are prevented by using the surface side sealing film.

本発明者らは、架橋剤と紫外線吸収剤の組み合わせ及び添加量を検討し実験を重ねた結果、上記目的は、表面側透明保護部材、表面側封止膜、太陽電池用セル、裏面側封止膜及び裏面側保護部材がこの順で積層され、且つ前記太陽電池用セルが所定の位置にセル止めテープで仮止めされた積層体を、架橋一体化させることにより前記太陽電池用セルを封止してなる太陽電池に使用する前記表面側封止膜であって、

Thus, it is used by being attached to the end portion on the back surface side of the adjacent solar cell 14.

The location where the cell fastening tape is affixed is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 2, and may be any location as long as the solar cell can be fixed at a predetermined position. For example, you may affix on the surface side (light-receiving surface side) of the cell 14 for solar cells, and may affix over the cell 14 for solar cells and the surface side sealing film 13B. The cell stopper tape attached in this way is visually recognized from the surface side of the solar battery.

Therefore, the members other than the sealing film, such as the front surface side transparent protective member, the back surface side protective member, and the solar cell, the cell stopper tape, or the like only have to have the same configuration as a conventionally known solar cell. There is no particular restriction.

(評価結果)
表1及び表2に示されているように、架橋剤Aの添加量が1.2質量部未満である場合には架橋速度が低下していた。架橋剤Aの添加量が2.5質量部より多い場合には発泡するまでの時間が早く、表面側封止膜が黄変した。紫外線吸収剤Aの添加量が0.015質量部未満の場合には、紫外線透過量が多いため仮止めテープの黄変が生じていた。紫外線吸収剤Aの添加量が0.05質量部より多い場合には、表面側封止膜の黄変が生じていた。また、架橋剤Aと紫外線吸収剤Aの組合せ以外の場合には、発泡又は仮止めテープの黄変の点で評価が低かった。
(Evaluation results)
As shown in Tables 1 and 2, when the addition amount of the crosslinking agent A was less than 1.2 parts by mass, the crosslinking rate was reduced. When the addition amount of the crosslinking agent A was more than 2.5 parts by mass, the time until foaming was early, and the surface side sealing film was yellowed. When the addition amount of the ultraviolet absorber A was less than 0.015 parts by mass, the temporary fixing tape was yellowed because of the large amount of transmitted ultraviolet rays. When the addition amount of the ultraviolet absorber A was more than 0.05 parts by mass, the surface side sealing film was yellowed. Further, in cases other than the combination of the crosslinking agent A and the ultraviolet absorber A, the evaluation was low in terms of foaming or yellowing of the temporary fixing tape.

更に、裏面側封止膜に配合した紫外線吸収剤Aの量が0.2未満である場合には、裏面側保護部材の黄変が生じていた。また、裏面側封止膜に配合した白色顔料の平均粒径が200nmの場合には300〜400nmにおける反射率が向上していた。   Furthermore, when the amount of the ultraviolet absorber A blended in the back side sealing film was less than 0.2, the back side protective member was yellowed. Moreover, the reflectance in 300-400 nm was improving when the average particle diameter of the white pigment mix | blended with the back surface side sealing film is 200 nm.

本発明によれば、表面側封止膜、セル止めテープ及び裏面側保護部材の黄変が防止され、架橋時の発泡が抑制され、架橋速度が良好であるので、外観特性が高く、生産性が良好であり、発電効率の向上した太陽電池を得ることが可能である。   According to the present invention, yellowing of the front side sealing film, the cell stopper tape and the back side protective member is prevented, foaming during crosslinking is suppressed, and the crosslinking rate is good, so that the appearance characteristics are high and the productivity is high. It is possible to obtain a solar cell with good power generation efficiency.
