Solar panel lamination is crucial to ensure the longevity of the solar cells of a module. As solar panels are exposed and subject to various climatic impact factors, the encapsulation of the solar cells through lamination is a crucial step in traditional solar PV module manufacturing.
The purpose of PV module lamination is to protect the solar cells from environmental factors, such as moisture, dust, and temperature changes, and to ensure the durability and performance of the module. The most common way to laminate a PV module is by using a lamination machine, which applies heat and pressure to the module in a vacuum chamber.
PV module lamination increased the efficiency of solar panels. The protective layer used in lamination is typically made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), a material that has been shown to improve the efficiency of solar panels by up to 2%.
Figure 1. Lamination lay-up. Key components of solar module lamination lay-up (Fig. 1) start with front glass at the bottom with photo-electrically sensitive films, back reflective coating, and cell-defining scribes. Then, power-collecting ribbons are bonded to the glass, followed by pairing of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) sheet and back glass.
As solar panels are exposed and subject to various climatic impact factors, the encapsulation of the solar cells through lamination is a crucial step in traditional solar PV module manufacturing. At this moment, the most common way to laminate a solar panel is by using a lamination machine.
Solar panel framing refers to the process of attaching protective and strengthening frames to the PV laminates of a solar panel. How are solar panels framed? Most manufacturers in China use a simple pneumatic or hydraulic framing machine to attach frames to the PV laminates.
Basic process steps of solar cell modules
Figure 2 shows the internal structure of the solar cell module (panel). It can be seen from the figure that the solar cell module connects multiple solar cell chips in series with metal wires to increase the output voltage of the module. The more battery chips there are, the greater the output voltage.
