Problems solved by technology

[0002] Solar energy has unique characteristics such as cleanness and regeneration. Therefore, solar photovoltaic utilization has become the fastest-growing research field in recent years. At present, people's research on solar cells is mainly focused on improving the conversion efficiency of batteries and reducing costs. People have developed a variety of battery structures, such as electrodes made by SE technology, buried gate electrodes, and passivated back of the battery. Changes in these structures will increase the battery manufacturing process steps and increase the cost of battery manufacturing. In order to reduce the cost of the battery , the use of ultra-thin silicon wafers to prepare high-efficiency solar cells has become a research direction; however, as the thickness of the cells decreases to 180um, the loss of long-wave light absorption by the cells becomes more serious due to the thickness of the cells; therefore, it is necessary to Optimize the structure of the back surface of the battery to improve the reflectivity of long-wave light on the back surface of the battery
[0003] In order to improve the reflectance of the back surface of the battery to the incident long-wave light, people use a dielectric film to improve the reflection of the incident light, which can effectively improve the reflection of the incident light on the back surface of the battery. However, due to the conventional texture The suede on the back surface of the process has a light-trapping structure, so it will have a negative impact on the back reflection of the incident light of the battery
