Problems solved by technology

Among them, screen printing is currently the main electrode production method, but it is difficult to make the width of the screen printing fine grid line less than 80 microns, and the mainstream equipment can only achieve 80-120 microns, so that the shading area of ​​the front electrode reaches 5-8%. , which restricts the further improvement of the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery
[0003] Patent CN101483199A provides a new electrode structure, which uses conductive metal wires with a diameter of 0.1-0.17 mm as bus grid lines, cancels thin grid lines, increases the number of main grid lines, and reduces the shading area of ​​about 3 mm width , which can improve the conversion efficiency of solar cells. The production method is to print silver paste on the front of the battery using a conventional screen printing process to make evenly distributed dot electrodes. The area of ​​the dot electrodes is greater than 1 square millimeter, and then weld the wires point by point. At this point, however, this process is complex and time-consuming, which will increase the cost of industrialization, and the solder joints are too large to adapt to the current high-resistance dense gate process
[0004] Patent CN102214729A provides a method for making front electrodes, which is obtained by bonding thin metal wires to the surface of silicon wafers with silver paste and sintering. The scheme greatly reduces the shading of the front, but because the thick metal wire with a diameter greater than 30 microns cannot be reliably sintered to the surface of the silicon wafer through the silver paste, the wire that is too thin will increase the series resistance

Abstract

The invention relates to a point-contact front electrode structure of a solar cell. The front electrode structure is a bridge structure. The bridge structure comprises a bridge foundation, bridge piers and a bridge girder; the bridge foundation is weldable, silver paste or nickel paste is sintered to form the bridge foundation, and the bridge foundation is in excellent ohmic contact with a semiconductor of a substrate; solder paste is melted by heat to form the bridge piers, and the bridge girder can be conductively and mechanically connected with the bridge foundation by the bridge piers; the bridge girder comprises conducting metal wires, and currents of the various bridge piers can be gathered and led out by the aid of the bridge girder. The front electrode structure has the advantages that points of a point-contact electrode can be connected with one another by the metal wires, so that the total area of an electrode region is reduced, photon-generated carriers which are composited with one another on the surface of the cell are effectively reduced, the illumination shielding area of the electrode can be effectively reduced owing to the suspended metal wires, light injection is effectively increased, an open-circuit voltage and a short-circuit current are increased, and the conversion efficiency of the solar cell is improved; consumption of expensive silver is reduced owing to the structure, and accordingly the production cost of the solar cell is lowered.
