Embodiment

[0081] Within the scope of the teaching of the present invention, glass compositions were selected for Examples 1 to 16 and glasses were produced therefrom. For this purpose, a 1 liter platinum crucible was used for the melting, in which the raw material was brought to a melting temperature of 1580° C. over 3 hours and held at this temperature with stirring for 4 hours in the crucible. Subsequently, the melt was poured into a graphite mold preheated to 500°C. After casting, the casting mold was placed in a cooling furnace preheated to 650° C., and the cooling furnace was cooled to room temperature at 5° C. / hour. The glass compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were similarly produced. The compositions and properties of the glasses used in Examples 1 to 16 within the teaching of the present invention and the compositions of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are summarized in Tables 1 to 4 below:

Abstract

The invention relates to a photovoltaic cell, preferably a thin-film photovoltaic cell, having a substrate glass made of aluminosilicate glass, comprising a glass composition which has SiO2 and Al2O3 as well as the alkaline oxide Na2O and the alkaline earth oxides CaO, MgO, and BaO, and optionally further components, the glass composition containing 10 to 16 wt% Na2O, > 0 to < 5 wt% CaO, and > 1 to 10 wt% BaO, and the ratio of CaO:MgO being in the range of 0.5 to 1.7. The aluminosilicate glass used according to the invention is crystallization stable because of the selected quotient of CaO / MgO and has a transformation temperature Tg > 580 DEG C and a processing temperature VA < 1200 DEG C. Therefore, it represents a more thermally stable alternative to soda-lime glass. The object of the invention is also the use of the aluminosilicate glass as a substrate glass, superstrate glass, and / or cover glass for a photovoltaic cells, preferably for thin-film photovoltaic cells, in particular those based on semiconductor composite material, such as CdTe, CIS, or ClGS.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a photovoltaic cell having a substrate glass made of aluminosilicate glass having high heat resistance, low processing temperature, and high resistance to crystallization. Background technique [0002] Soda-lime glass, also known as alkali-alkaline earth-silicate glass, is one of the oldest known glass types and is the most commonly used glass type in terms of quantity ("standard glass"). It is used in many fields, eg as flat glass such as mirror or window glass, as packaging glass eg for bottles, food packaging, and drinking glass, or in automobile construction as laminated safety glass. Known soda-lime glasses have the disadvantage that they have only a relatively low heat resistance, for example a transition temperature ("Tg") in the range of about 490 to 530°C. Thus, the applications of soda lime glass are significantly limited. [0003] The properties of glass and the products derived therefrom must be particular...
