Abstract

Discussed is a solar cell module including a plurality of bi-facial solar cells having a front surface and a back surface, 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 a second area being a remaining portion except the first area 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, and a second sheet layer.

Claims (28)

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 including a white pigment, and a second area being a remaining portion except the first area; 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, wherein the second sheet layer including a black pigment.

2. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the black pigment includes perylene-based organic pigment.

3. 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.

4. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the second sheet layer is about 1 μm to 5 μm.

5. The solar cell module of claim 4 , wherein the second sheet layer has a second transmittance different from a first transmittance of the first sheet layer.

6. The solar cell module of claim 5 , 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.

7. The solar cell module of claim 5 , wherein the first area is white.

8. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the first sheet layer is transparent or white.

9. The solar cell module of claim 8 , wherein the first 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 ).

10. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the second sheet layer further includes a resin.

11. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein light having a wavelength band of 800 nm to 1200 nm is reflected by the second sheet layer including the black pigment.

12. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein light having a wavelength band of 800 nm to 1200 nm is reflected by the first sheet layer including a black pigment in the second area.

13. The solar cell module of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third sheet layer positioned on the second surface of the base layer and on the second sheet layer.

14. The solar cell module of claim 13 , wherein the third sheet layer is the outmost layer of the back sheet.

15. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein the second sheet layer does not overlap the first area.

16. The solar cell module of claim 1 , wherein only the first area includes the white pigment.
