Solar cell module
View Patent ↗A solar cell module is discussed. The solar cell module includes a plurality of solar cells, a light transmission protection part positioned at first surfaces of the plurality of solar cells, a front protection part positioned between the light transmission protection part and the plurality of solar cells, a back sheet positioned at second surfaces of the plurality of solar cells, and a back protection part positioned between the back sheet and the plurality of solar cells. The back sheet includes a first sheet layer including a first area, which overlaps the plurality of solar cells and has a first transmittance, and a second area, which is a remaining portion except the first area and has a second transmittance different from the first transmittance.
1. A solar cell module comprising:
a plurality of bi-facial solar cells having a front surface and a back surface, respectively, wherein light is incident to both of the front surface and the back surface of each of the plurality of bi-facial solar cells;
a light transmission protection part positioned on the front surfaces of the plurality of bi-facial solar cells;
a front protection part positioned between the light transmission protection part and the front surfaces of the plurality of bi-facial solar cells;
a back sheet positioned on the back surfaces of the plurality of bi-facial solar cells, wherein the back sheet includes a first area overlapping the plurality of bi-facial solar cells and having a first transmittance, and a second area being a remaining portion except the first area and having a second transmittance different from the first transmittance; and
a back protection part positioned between the back sheet and the back surfaces of the plurality of bi-facial solar cells,
wherein the back sheet includes:
a base layer,
a first sheet layer positioned between a first surface of the base layer and the back protection part,
a second sheet layer selectively positioned on a second surface of the base layer to correspond to the second area, and
a third sheet layer positioned on the second surface of the base layer and on the second sheet layer.
2. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the first transmittance of the first area is greater than the second transmittance of the second area, and
wherein the first sheet layer and the second sheet layer are formed of different materials.
3. The solar cell module of claim 2 , wherein the second area is white or black.
4. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the first area is transparent or white.
5. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the second sheet layer includes a white pigment and a resin.
6. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the second sheet layer includes a black pigment and a resin.
7. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second sheet layer is about 1 μm to 30 μm.
8. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the second sheet layer has the first transmittance equal to or greater than about 50% at a wavelength band of 300 nm to 1200 nm.
9. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of bi-facial solar cells are separated from one another by a width of about 10 μm to 50 μm.
10. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the third sheet layer is the outmost layer of the back sheet.
11. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second sheet layer is less than a thickness of the first sheet layer.
12. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the first sheet layer or the second sheet layer includes a white pigment, and
wherein the white pigment includes at least one of titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), barium sulfate (BaSO 4 ), barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ), strontium titanate (SrTiO 3 ), calcium titanate (CaTiO 3 ), calcium carbonate, lead titanate (PbTiO 3 ), zinc oxide, zinc sulfide, magnesium oxide (MgO), aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ), and zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2 ).
13. The solar cell module of claim 6 , wherein the black pigment includes a perylene-based organic pigment or carbon.
