Problems solved by technology

At present, the large-scale production of flexible solar cells adopts the roll-to-roll coating method, which is the method of manufacturing amorphous silicon flexible solar cells. The production equipment is expensive, the production process is complicated, and the product cost is high.
In this way, the price of flexible solar cells sold on the market is comparable to that of crystalline silicon solar cells, and has no advantage compared with the cost performance of crystalline silicon solar cells. This is also an important reason for the slow growth of flexible solar cells and the low production capacity over the years.

Abstract

The invention relates to a solar photovoltaic battery manufactured on modified flexible substrate with high light transmittance, which belongs to the field of flexible amorphous silicon film solar cell manufacture technology. The invention aims to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency and is manufactured by following steps: selecting a modified PI (polyimide) material with light transmittance of 90 to 93% as the substrate, changing the lamination structure of an amorphous silicon PIN film, depositing a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) thin film by sputtering at a temperature above 350 DEG C, and manufacturing single-junction or multi-junction flexible amorphous silicon battery by using the PI substrate with high light transmittance. The invention has the positive effects that the modified substrate in the manufacture and application does not deform in four hours at a temperature between 350 to 400 DEG C, thus significantly improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency and the performance price ratio of the flexible amorphous silicon solar battery.

Description

technical field [0001] The patent of the invention relates to the manufacture of solar photovoltaic cells on a modified flexible substrate with high light transmittance, and belongs to the technical field of manufacturing flexible amorphous silicon thin film solar cells. Background technique [0002] At present, commercially produced solar cells are divided into two categories, one is bulk crystalline silicon solar cells, and the other is thin-film solar cells represented by amorphous silicon solar cells and copper indium selenium solar cells. Thin film solar cells can be divided into hard substrate and soft substrate thin film solar cells by substrate type. Today, the thin-film solar cell market is mainly based on glass, which belongs to hard substrate cells, and the product occupies the largest share. Relatively speaking, thin-film solar cells with soft substrates are rare in the market. The key is to choose suitable substrate materials that can meet the requirements of m...
