These results indicate that the proposed non-contact soldering approach does not sacrifice solar cell performance but creates a crack-free solder connection at longer exposure times, making it an interesting alternative for further development to be applied to repair and refurbish broken solar panel interconnection through glass.
ABSTRACT: Interconnection of silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells by soldering is challenging due to the temperature sensitivity of the passivation layers. Within our study, we evaluate solder joints on SHJ solar cells interconnected by infrared (IR) soldering.
2.1 Heterojunction solar cells To study the interconnection process on SHJ solar cells by soldering, we use bifacial monocrystalline SHJ cells (156.75 × 156.75 mm2) of our project partner Meyer Burger (Germany) GmbH. The cells are pre-processed on
An aluminium back surface and already soldered ribbon at the negative side typically resulted in lower temperatures (5–15 °C) on the positive side. The difference was the highest at a 2 mm distance. Heating profiles at 2 mm and 3 mm distances overlapped, indicating repeatable soldering conditions and the uniform quality of the solar cells.
SEM and SAM analysis of eddy current soldering of silicon solar cells' interconnection. Potential soldering technique for refurbishing used solar panel interconnections. Thermal fatigue of soldered interconnections of silicon solar cells is considered one of the key failure modes in photovoltaic (PV) modules.
The cells with paste 1 to 4a are soldered with a soldering time of ts ≈ 3.0 s. For paste 4b, we reduced ts to 1.35 s, which relates to an industrial throughput of 1600 solar cells per hour.
