Description
本發明是有關於一種測試裝置,且特別是有關於一種用於測試太陽能電池(solar cell)的測試裝置。This invention relates to a test device and, more particularly, to a test device for testing a solar cell.
太陽能是一種取之不盡、用之不竭且不會產生污染的能源,隨著環保意識逐漸抬頭及能源危機的產生,太陽能的應用愈來愈受到重視,其中太陽能電池是較為常見的一種太陽能應用產品。Solar energy is an inexhaustible and inexhaustible source of energy. With the rising awareness of environmental protection and the energy crisis, the application of solar energy has received more and more attention. Among them, solar cells are a common type of solar energy. Application products.
圖1是習知一種太陽能電池的示意圖。請參照圖1,太陽能電池100主要包括第一玻璃基板110、封膠層120與第二玻璃基板130。習知製造太陽能電池100的製造方法是先於第一玻璃基板110上形成光電轉換單元(圖未示)以及電性連接至光電轉換單元的正極導線142與負極導線144。接著,在光電轉換單元上形成封膠層120。之後,將第二玻璃基板130堆疊在封膠層120上,以透過封膠層120將第二玻璃基板130黏著於第一玻璃基板110上,且正極導線142與負極導線144係經由貫孔146而穿出第二玻璃基板130外。1 is a schematic view of a conventional solar cell. Referring to FIG. 1 , the solar cell 100 mainly includes a first glass substrate 110 , a sealant layer 120 , and a second glass substrate 130 . A method of manufacturing the solar cell 100 is to form a photoelectric conversion unit (not shown) and a positive electrode 142 and a negative electrode 144 electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion unit before the first glass substrate 110. Next, a sealant layer 120 is formed on the photoelectric conversion unit. Then, the second glass substrate 130 is stacked on the sealant layer 120 to adhere the second glass substrate 130 to the first glass substrate 110 through the sealant layer 120, and the positive electrode lead 142 and the negative lead 144 are connected to the through hole 146. And outside the second glass substrate 130.
然後,進行去膠製程,以刮除封膠層120的邊緣溢膠。之後,透過接線盒(圖未示)連接正極導線142與負極導線144。接著,用鋁框(圖未示)固定第一玻璃基板110與第二玻璃基板130。然後,進行高壓測試,以測試太陽能電池100是否會漏電。之後,測試太陽能電池100的發電量。Then, a degumming process is performed to scrape off the edge of the sealant layer 120. Thereafter, the positive electrode lead 142 and the negative electrode lead 144 are connected through a junction box (not shown). Next, the first glass substrate 110 and the second glass substrate 130 are fixed by an aluminum frame (not shown). Then, a high voltage test is performed to test whether the solar cell 100 is leaking. After that, the amount of power generation of the solar cell 100 is tested.
上述之高壓測試的方式可區分為乾式測試方式與濕式測試方式,其中乾式測試方式是將測試模組的兩根測試探針分別連接至接線盒及鋁框,並通以高壓電,以測試鋁框是否有電流。由於封膠層120的邊緣可能產生氣泡,經過去膠製程後原氣泡處會形成內凹處。由於內凹處無法與鋁框接觸,所以會降低測試準確性。另外,濕式測試方式可不需鋁框,但需將整個太陽能電池100浸入水中測試,所以需花費時間與額外配備使太陽能電池100乾燥。The above-mentioned high-voltage test method can be divided into a dry test mode and a wet test mode, wherein the dry test method is to connect the two test probes of the test module to the junction box and the aluminum frame, respectively, and pass the high voltage power to Test the aluminum frame for current. Since bubbles may be generated at the edge of the sealant layer 120, a recess may be formed at the original bubble after the stripping process. Test accuracy is reduced because the recess cannot be in contact with the aluminum frame. In addition, the wet test method does not require an aluminum frame, but the entire solar cell 100 needs to be immersed in water for testing, so it takes time and additional equipment to dry the solar cell 100.
基於上述,由於習知太陽能電池100的製造方法包含許多的步驟,導致太陽能電池100的生產效率較差。因此,如何提升太陽能電池的生產效率,已成為重要的課題。Based on the above, since the manufacturing method of the conventional solar cell 100 includes many steps, the production efficiency of the solar cell 100 is inferior.

Layer 320. Specifically, the test head 224 may further include an elastic member 224c between the body 224a and the contact member 224b to make the contact member 224b stretchable, so that the contact effect of the contact member 224b with the sealant layer 320 can be improved. In addition, the test head 224 may further include a joint portion 224d at the body 224a, and the second test line 214 is adapted to be disposed in the joint portion 224d to be electrically connected to the test head 224.

此外,上述之去膠件222可為熱刀,其可對封膠層320的封膠材料加熱使其軟化,故較容易去除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠。另外,去膠模組220可更包括連接件226,其連接去膠件222與測試頭224,惟不限於此,亦可依實際需求調整,例如測試頭直接從去膠件延伸出來,可省略連接件。In addition, the above-mentioned stripping member 222 can be a hot knife, which can heat the sealing material of the sealing layer 320 to soften it, so that it is easier to remove the edge overflow of the sealing layer 320. In addition, the glue removing module 220 may further include a connecting member 226, which is connected to the stripping member 222 and the test head 224, but is not limited thereto, and may be adjusted according to actual needs, for example, the test head directly extends from the stripping member, and may be omitted.

承上述,去除封膠層320之邊緣溢膠的方式有兩種。第一種方式是移動去膠模組220。具體而言,去膠模組220可更包括移動件,而此移動件適於驅使去膠件222與測試頭224沿太陽能電池300的周圍移動。在本實施例中,移動件例如是與連接件226整合為同一部件,但在其他實施例中,移動件與連接件226可為分開的部件,惟不限於此,可依實際需求調整。此外,在移動去膠件222與測試頭224時,測試頭224可位於去膠件222行進方向的前方或後方。當測試頭224位於去膠件222行進方向的後方時,由於封膠層320的邊緣溢膠已先被去膠件222去除,所以測試頭224所接觸到的封膠層320的邊緣較為平整。如此,能減少測試頭224的磨耗,進而提升測試頭224的使用壽命。In view of the above, there are two ways to remove the edge of the sealant layer 320. The first way is to move the glue removal module 220. Specifically, the glue removing module 220 may further include a moving member, and the moving member is adapted to drive the stripping member 222 and the test head 224 to move around the solar cell 300. In this embodiment, the moving member is integrated into the same component as the connecting member 226, but in other embodiments, the moving member and the connecting member 226 can be separate components, but is not limited thereto, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. In addition, when moving the stripping member 222 and the test head 224, the test head 224 may be located in front of or behind the direction in which the stripping member 222 travels. When the test head 224 is located behind the stripping member 222, since the edge of the sealant layer 320 has been removed by the stripping member 222, the edge of the sealant layer 320 contacted by the test head 224 is relatively flat. In this way, the wear of the test head 224 can be reduced, thereby increasing the service life of the test head 224.
去除邊緣溢膠的第二種方式是移動太陽能電池300,請參照圖4,其為本發明另一實施例之一種測試裝置用於測試太陽能電池的示意圖。本實施例之測試裝置200’是利用移動太陽能電池300的方式來去除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠。相較於測試裝置200,本實施例之測試裝置200’更包括可動式承載件230,其適於承載太陽能電池300並移動太陽能電池300,以使去膠件222能刮除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠。此外,在移動太陽能電池300時,可讓封膠層320的邊緣先經過去膠件222後,再與測試頭224接觸,如此可減少測試頭224的磨耗,進而提升測試頭224的使用壽命。當然,在移動太陽能電池300時,亦可讓封膠層320的邊緣先與測試頭224接觸後,再由去膠件222去膠。The second way to remove the edge overflow is to move the solar cell 300. Please refer to FIG. 4, which is a schematic diagram of a test device for testing a solar cell according to another embodiment of the present invention. The test device 200' of the present embodiment utilizes the method of moving the solar cell 300 to remove the edge overflow of the sealant layer 320. Compared with the testing device 200, the testing device 200' of the present embodiment further includes a movable carrier 230 adapted to carry the solar cell 300 and move the solar cell 300 so that the stripping member 222 can scrape the sealing layer 320. The edge overflows. In addition, when the solar cell 300 is moved, the edge of the sealing layer 320 can be passed through the stripping member 222 and then contacted with the test head 224, thereby reducing the wear of the test head 224 and thereby increasing the service life of the test head 224. Of course, when the solar cell 300 is moved, the edge of the sealing layer 320 may be first contacted with the test head 224, and then removed by the stripping member 222.
基於上述,由於測試裝置200、200’包括測試模組210與去膠模組220,所以可藉由測試模組210測試封膠層320是否有漏電的情形,並同時藉由去膠模組220來去除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠。因此,本實施例之測試裝置200、200’能簡化太陽能電池300的生產步驟,進而提升太陽能電池300的生產效率。Based on the above, since the test device 200, 200' includes the test module 210 and the glue removal module 220, the test module 210 can be used to test whether the sealant layer 320 is leaky, and at the same time, by the glue removal module 220. To remove the edge of the sealant layer 320.

圖6A至圖6E是本發明一實施例之一種太陽能電池的製造方法之流程圖。本實施例之太陽能電池的製造方法包括下列步驟:首先,如圖6A所示,提供第一基板310。此第一基板310例如為玻璃基板或塑膠基板,第一基板310上形成有光電轉換單元312,且有正極導線342與負極導線344電性連接至此光電轉換單元312。6A to 6E are flowcharts showing a method of manufacturing a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention. The manufacturing method of the solar cell of this embodiment includes the following steps: First, as shown in FIG. 6A, a first substrate 310 is provided. The first substrate 310 is, for example, a glass substrate or a plastic substrate. The first substrate 310 is formed with a photoelectric conversion unit 312, and the positive electrode lead 342 and the negative electrode lead 344 are electrically connected to the photoelectric conversion unit 312.
之後,如圖6B所示,於光電轉換單元312上形成封膠層320,以保護光電轉換單元312。此封膠層320係選用高透光性的封裝材料,如乙烯-醋酸乙烯脂(EVA,Ethylene Vinyl Acetate)、聚乙烯醇縮丁醛樹脂(polyvinyl butyral,PVB)等封膠層320具有高透光性,且為絕緣材料,其用以保護光電轉換單元,並防止太陽能電池產生漏電的情形。Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6B, a sealant layer 320 is formed on the photoelectric conversion unit 312 to protect the photoelectric conversion unit 312. The encapsulating layer 320 is made of a high light transmissive encapsulating material, such as EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), etc. It is optical and is an insulating material for protecting the photoelectric conversion unit and preventing the solar cell from leaking.
接著,如圖6C所示,將第二基板330組立於封膠層320上。此第二基板330例如是玻璃基板或塑膠基板,且第二基板330與封膠層320內形成有至少一貫孔346。此貫孔346貫穿第二基板330與封膠層320,以暴露出正極導線342與負極導線344。在另一實施例中,第二基板330與封膠層320內可形成有二貫孔346,以分別暴露出正極導線342與負極導線344。此外,在本實施例中,將第二基板330組立於封膠層320上的步驟例如是先將第二基板330放置於封膠層320上,之後再對組合後的第一基板310、封膠層320與第二基板330進行加壓加熱製程,使封膠層320發生黏性反應,並配合真空抽氣的方式,減少氣體殘留在封膠層320內。如此,可使第二基板330透過封膠層320黏著於第一基板310上。然而,由於封膠層320會軟化且經過擠壓,故封膠層320的邊緣會出現封膠材料溢出的情形。Next, as shown in FIG. 6C, the second substrate 330 is assembled on the encapsulation layer 320. The second substrate 330 is, for example, a glass substrate or a plastic substrate, and at least a uniform hole 346 is formed in the second substrate 330 and the sealing layer 320. The through hole 346 penetrates the second substrate 330 and the sealant layer 320 to expose the positive electrode lead 342 and the negative electrode lead 344. In another embodiment, the second substrate 330 and the sealant layer 320 may be formed with two through holes 346 to expose the positive lead 342 and the negative lead 344, respectively. In addition, in the embodiment, the step of stacking the second substrate 330 on the sealing layer 320 is, for example, first placing the second substrate 330 on the sealing layer 320, and then sealing the combined first substrate 310 and the sealing substrate 320. The adhesive layer 320 and the second substrate 330 are subjected to a pressure heating process to cause the adhesive layer 320 to react viscously, and in combination with vacuum evacuation, the gas remains in the sealant layer 320. In this way, the second substrate 330 can be adhered to the first substrate 310 through the sealant layer 320. However, since the sealant layer 320 is softened and extruded, the sealant layer 320 may overflow at the edge of the sealant layer 320.
然後,如圖6D與圖2所示,去除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠,並同時進行高壓測試。更詳細地說,去除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠並同時進行高壓測試的步驟例如是先提供上述之測試裝置200或200’,在圖6D中是以測試裝置200為例。之後,將第一測試線路212電性連接至正極導線342與負極導線344之至少其中之一,並將第二測試線路214電性連接至測試頭224,且使測試頭224接觸封膠層320。接著,藉由去膠件222去除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠,並同時藉由測試模組210發出測試訊號,以進行高壓測試,如此可透過測試頭224來測試封膠層320是否有漏電的情形。Then, as shown in FIG. 6D and FIG. 2, the edge of the sealant layer 320 is removed, and a high voltage test is simultaneously performed. In more detail, the step of removing the edge of the sealant layer 320 and simultaneously performing the high voltage test is, for example, first providing the above test apparatus 200 or 200', and in Fig. 6D, the test apparatus 200 is taken as an example. Thereafter, the first test line 212 is electrically connected to at least one of the positive lead 342 and the negative lead 344, and the second test line 214 is electrically connected to the test head 224, and the test head 224 is brought into contact with the sealant layer 320. . Then, the edge of the sealant layer 320 is removed by the stripping member 222, and at the same time, the test signal is sent by the test module 210 to perform a high voltage test, so that the sealant layer 320 can be tested for leakage through the test head 224. The situation.
關於將第一測試線路212電性連接至正極導線342與負極導線344之至少其中之一的方式以及去除封膠層320之邊緣溢膠的方式已於上文說明過,在此將不再重述。The manner of electrically connecting the first test line 212 to at least one of the positive lead 342 and the negative lead 344 and the manner of removing the edge overflow of the sealant layer 320 have been described above, and will not be heavy here. Said.
由於本實施例之太陽能電池的製造方法將去除邊緣溢膠及進行高壓測試整合在同一步驟,所以能簡化太陽能電池的生產步驟,進而提升太陽能電池的生產效率。Since the manufacturing method of the solar cell of the present embodiment integrates the edge overflow and the high voltage test in the same step, the production steps of the solar cell can be simplified, thereby improving the production efficiency of the solar cell.
此外,在本實施例之太陽能電池的製造方法中,在去除封膠層320的邊緣溢膠並同時進行高壓測試的步驟後,可更包括將接線盒350電性連接至正極導線342與負極導線344的步驟(如圖6E所示)。此外,在將接線盒350電性連接至正極導線342與負極導線344的步驟中,可包括藉由絕緣材料填滿貫孔346的步驟。In addition, in the manufacturing method of the solar cell of the embodiment, after the step of removing the edge of the sealing layer 320 and simultaneously performing the high voltage test, the wiring box 350 may be electrically connected to the positive electrode 342 and the negative wire. Step 344 (shown in Figure 6E). Further, in the step of electrically connecting the junction box 350 to the positive electrode lead 342 and the negative electrode lead 344, the step of filling the through hole 346 by an insulating material may be included.
在另一實施例中,可在去除邊緣溢膠及進行高壓測試的步驟前,先將接線盒350電性連接至正極導線342與負極導線344。如此,在將第一測試線路212電性連接至正極導線342與負極導線344之至少其中之一的步驟中,即可藉由接線盒350將第一測試線路212電性連接至正極導線342與負極導線344之至少其中之一(如圖5所示)。也就是說,本發明組裝接線盒的步驟可在去除封膠層的邊緣溢膠並同時進行高壓測試的步驟之前或之後,可依實際需求調整。In another embodiment, the junction box 350 can be electrically connected to the positive lead 342 and the negative lead 344 before the steps of removing the edge overflow and performing the high voltage test. As such, in the step of electrically connecting the first test line 212 to at least one of the positive lead 342 and the negative lead 344, the first test line 212 can be electrically connected to the positive lead 342 by the junction box 350. At least one of the negative lead wires 344 (shown in FIG. 5). That is to say, the step of assembling the junction box of the present invention can be adjusted according to actual needs before or after the step of removing the edge of the sealant layer and simultaneously performing the high voltage test.
