Abstract

The invention relates to a multijunction laminated solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. The multijunction laminated solar cell comprises a cell unit laminated body (A) as well as a top electrode (12) and a back electrode (13) which are arranged on the top and bottom of the cell unit laminated body (A), wherein the cell unit laminated body (A) comprises a bottom-layer cell unit (11) and at least one upper-layer cell unit (10) connected to the top of the bottom-layer cell unit (11) in a laminating manner; the bottom-layer cell unit (11) comprises a substrate (3) and an epitaxial layer(4); the upper-layer cell unit (10) at least comprises an epitaxial layer (2); and the cell unit laminated body (A) can be obtained by performing direct bonding, metallic bonding or inversed welding processes on the bottom-layer cell unit (11) and the upper-layer cell unit (10). According to the invention, not only can the problem of unmatched crystal lattice of the cell unit laminated body (A) is solved, but also the overall working efficiency of the solar cell is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar cell manufacturing and application, in particular to a laminated solar cell and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] The existing mass-produced solar cells are mainly made of materials such as silicon and GaAs. The efficiency of a single junction cell using a single material is generally not very high. The usual way is to grow multiple materials such as GaInP, InGaAs, and Ge on the same substrate, and then make solar cells. However, the problem brought about by this is that too many material systems are used on the same substrate, resulting in serious lattice mismatch, resulting in low-quality battery materials and affecting efficiency. It is of practical significance to develop a solar cell that can realize multi-junction series connection and is not affected by the limitation of the crystal lattice. Summary of the invention [0003] The invention provides a multi-junction laminated sol...
