In a first step the solar cells (1) are arranged at a first glass sheet (5), whereupon a second glass sheet ( 11) is laid on top of the first one in order to cover the first glass sheet (5) in a second step and be distanced along its circumference (6) along its edge area (4) by aid of at least one spacer (9), which creates a distance (7) between the glass sheets (5, 11) of about 0,5-2 mm, the outermost edges (8) of which and the distance (7) in a third step are covered by at least a portion of an elongated side area of a glass strip (17) and/or a glass fibre (10), said side surface is applied along the outermost edges (8) around the circumference (6), whereupon in a fourth step at least the outermost edges (8) and the glass strip (17) or the glass fibre (10) are heated by at least one heating source until they have been melted together to a seal (22) around a hermetically enclosed space (19), which keep out moisture during a long period of time.
Description
A method to enclose solar cells
The present invention relates to a method to enclose solar cells between two glass sheets in different steps, distanced from each other in a distance of about 0,5-2 mm, the outermost edges of said glass sheets including the distance between them are covered by an elongated glass strip or a glass fibre along the outermost edges of said glass sheets around their circumference, whereupon these are heated by a heating source until they have been melted together, so that a hermetically enclosed space is created between the glass sheets, which efficiently keep out moisture from said space having the moisture sensitive solar cells.
For prior structures on the market of this type different methods are today used to arrange solar cells, e.g. in crystalline form or thin film on different supports. The solar cells are electrically connected to lead current from these in order to thereafter be lead further to other solar cells or to an electrical network. Often solar cells are provided on films and thereafter directly unprotected on a support, e.g. a roof. There they are totally unprotected and are quickly aged. Since solar cells are expensive it will be a great cost to replace them. In order to solve this problem the solar cells have been arranged protected in a solar panel between two solar sheets such as e.g. glass sheets in an insulating glass. Different seals in the edge areas of the solar panel are used to hermetically protect the solar cells for moisture attack. On roofs and similar supports the seals are aged where organic material is present, which break down the seals and already after some year holes have been detected in the seals and moisture gets in and damages the solar cells, which are much more expensive that the solar panel, whereby the solar cells must be replaced and be mounted in fixed or new solar panels. The solar panels have too large glass distances, when they enclose the solar cells having too large air volume, which expands and contract too much and in this way also help to destroy the seal.
The object of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the above mentioned structures by enclosing the solar cells between at least two glass
sheets having a glass distance of 0,5 - 2 mm and sealing its edge area along its circumference with melted glass, by applying a glass strip or a glass fibre and then during said applying heat the same until they are melting together with the glass edges and hermetically enclose a space between the glasses, in which the solar cells in this case lie protected from moisture and mechanical influence during a long period of time without being aged worth mentioning.
Thanks to the invention a method has been provided by which solar cells can be hermetically enclosed in a space surrounded by an inorganic glass material, which makes that a seal which does not age worth mentioning, can be provided in a simple, cheap and non-polluting way. The solar cells have a crystalline form or in the form of a thin film. The solar cells are placed between two glass sheets, which thereafter can be used contained in a solar catcher or as modules on a support, such e.g. a roof where the solar cells are electrically connected to lead current outside the edge area of the module or the solar catcher, in order to be lead further to an electric network. According to the invention the solar cells areas enclosed between two glass sheets according to a method during which in a first step the solar cells are provided with connecting electrical circuits on a first glass sheet, e.g. by being tampon printed or screen printed or being in the form of a film. In a second step a second glass sheet is placed upon the first glass sheet in order to cover the same and being distanced at least along its circumference along around its edge area in a distance from the first glass sheet of about 0,5 - 2 mm by aid of a spacer, e.g. then the glass strip/glass fibre constitute the distance alone. The outermost edges of the first and second glass edges together constitute the legs in an U-formation and the spacer, which creates the distance there between constitutes bottom in said U-formation. The interspace between the glass sheets and the outermost edges around the circumference is covered by an elongated side surface of a glass strip or a glass fibre in a third step, whereupon in a forth step the outermost edges of the glass sheets and the glass strip/glass fibre are heated by a heating source until they are melted together, whereupon a hermetically enclosed space is created between the glass sheets, which effectively keep out moisture from destroying the moisture sensitive solar cells and protects them from mechanical damage.
In a preferred embodiment example according to the present invention the hermetically enclosed first and second glass sheets are parallel to each other and mainly plane, and hermetically enclosing said solar cells and the electric circuits in order to constitute with these parts a module. A number of modules can in this way function as not being built in for directly absorbing solar energy and resting on a support in order to function as solar catchers.
According to the invention several modules can be provided within a number of solar panels connected together e.g. consisting of insulating glass, where the modules are arranged side by side or on top of each other within the insulating glass. The modules are electrically connected to each other via circuits to each other and to the net.
During the fourth step the outermost edges and the glass strip or glass fibre can be melted by different types of heating sources. E.g. the heating source can be a burning gas flame, which is directed from a gas container, where the gas by a nozzle can be sprayed as a gas flame towards the outermost edges and the glass strip/glass fibre. The heating source can also provide a melting together by aid of laser beams, micro waves or by en electric light bow between electrodes. The heating source heat locally at the outermost edges and the glass strip/glass fibre, which has a diameter/width of about 0,5 - 2 mm, which in this case is somewhat bigger that the distance between the glass sheets in order also to cover the outermost edges, which during the heating melts at about 1 800 degrees C within a locally much limited area containing a small mass at the same time as the energy consumption and also the time to melt said glass material in this local area will be insignificant.
The circuits within the space of the module are tampon printed, screen printed or are applied as an electrically conducting metal film on the first or second glass sheet. The circuits extend over the outer edges in order to constitute a contacting point for connecting electrical conduits in these. The conduits continue outside that area where the melting takes place. The outermost edges and the glass strip/glass fibre melt during the heating at the same time as the glass mass is floating and seal around the circuits, which are surrounded and
hermetically seal around these in a fifth step. The space remains in this case hermetically enclosed also with the connecting conduits. The gas sprayed through the nozzle is helium which is mixed with oxygen during the fifth step at the same time as said gas is burning and heating the edge area with an uniform speed of about 0,5 - 1 decimetre per second along the circumference, so that the flame does not is heat deeper than about 2 decimetres in a direction inwards to the space, since gas is a bad heat conductor, why the space does not being heated and expands to an over pressure, which otherwise can break the glass sheets.
Since the modules are arranged inside in a solar panel e.g. in the form of an insulating glass on an existing sheet unit, preferably a glass sheet, this is provided on a bed of silicone in the form of many silicone drops, in order to form a soft resting surface for supporting the module. This means that the module easily can be moved out from an old solar panel, which has been broken and into a new one. The module which is manufactured to function for a long time and which is the most expensive part in the solar catcher is worth to be moved, in order to save money and this way of handling means that you can replace the cheap parts in the solar catcher and reuse the expensive module.
In a further variant of the invention the glass strip is formed as an elongated band, which in its cross section has a width which mainly covers the thickness of the glass sheet and the spacer. The outer surface of the glass band is turned during the method away from the outermost edges of the glass sheets at the same time as the inner surface of the glass band is turned inwards to the space between the glass sheets, where an extension is fitted in, which guides the position of the glass band between the glass sheets and positions the glass band to be centred into a predetermined position between the glass sheets in its longitudinal direction.
According to a further variant of the invention the first and second glass sheets of the module of chemical or thermally hardened glass, which together with the treatment with potassium nitrate on the melted glass material,
reinforces the whole module, which then also can stand stresses in the form of movements and shakings which cause pressure tensions and tensile stresses, e.g. in the case that the modules are arranged on a vehicle or on another movable material and in order to avoid that the modules in such a situation shall break and leak in moisture into the space between the glass sheets.
The most important advantages with the invention are thus that a module is provided which is manufactured of an inorganic material which will not be broken down by the time. The expensive solar cells lie well protected and can be used again if the solar panel they are placed in will get broken. Further the glass distance is small about 0,5 - 2 mm, so that a heating of the space between the glass sheets only gives a small volume increasing and also a small pressure increasing which cannot destroy the seal made of glass.
The invention is described in greater detail below by means of some preferred embodiment examples with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which
Fig. 1 shows a vertical cross-section through two glass sheets having interjacent solar cells after that the first and second steps have been carried out,
Fig. 2 shows the same view as in Fig. 1 after that the third step has been carried out,
Fig. 3 shows the same view as in Fig. 1 after that the forth step has been carried out,
Fig. 4 shows a part of a module in a vertical cross-section view after that the second and the third steps have been carried out where a glass strip is provided at the outermost edge, and
Fig. 5 shows a vertical cross-section view through a part of a solar panel containing modules supported by a soft bed.
As is illustrated in Fig. 1 solar cells 1 are provided between two glass sheets 2 in a first step when a first glass sheet 5 and a second glass sheet 1 1 has been arrange to cover the first one in a second step, distanced along its circumference 6 and its edge area 4 with a spacer 9 in a distance 7 of about 0,5 - 2 mm from each other.
As shown in Fig. 2 the outermost edges 8 and the distance 7 between the glass sheets 2 of the first and the second glass sheets 5 are covered in the third step by an elongated side surface of a glass fibre 10 placed along the outermost edges 8 around the circumference 6.
As is illustrated in Fig. 3 the outermost glass sheets 8 and the glass fibre 10 have been heated by a heating source until they have been melted together to a seal 22 which has stiffened around a hermetically sealed space 19, where the first and the second glass sheet are in parallel to each other and provided in the distance 7 from each other and plane, containing said solar cells 1 and electric circuits 21 , said mentioned parts together constitute a module 12. The circuits 21 are applied such as an electrically conductive metal film on the first or the second glass sheet 5. The circuits 21 extend to the outermost edges 8 where the melting occurs of the glass fibre 10 around the circuits 21 , in which place a further contacting can take place to connecting circuits 21 or conduits 23 in a contact device present in that place.
As is shown in Fig. 4 the glass strip 17 is formed as an elongated band having a width mainly covering the thickness of the first and the second glass sheets 5, 1 1 and the width of the spacer 9. The outer surface 18 of the glass strip 17 comprises an extension 20, which is turned inwards to the space 19 and an outer surface 24, which is turned from the space 19, where it fits and guides the position of the glass strip 17 between the first and the second glass sheets 2 before the melting of the glass strip 17.
As is shown in Fig. 5 two modules 12 are provided within a solar catcher 3 designed as a solar panel 13 consisting of an insulating glass 14 in which the
modules 12 are provided side by side. The modules 12 are connected electrically to each other via the circuits 21 . The modules 12 are arranged on a soft bed 15 of silicone 16 in order to create a soft resting surface for the modules 12.
