How to reduce the shading area of a photovoltaic welding strip?

The shading area of the photovoltaic welding strip is reduced by reducing the width of the main grid line and the PV welding strip, and the total amount of light received by the solar cell is increased. However, the contact resistance of the whole PV assembly is too large, which increases the electrical loss of the photovoltaic module.

Why is scrap management of used photovoltaic modules important?

Photovoltaic (PV) power is one of the rapidly developing solar technologies in the world. In the past few decades, the installed photovoltaic capacity has increased significantly. Therefore, the scrap management of used photovoltaic modules has become very urgent.

How welding strip affect the power of photovoltaic module?

The quality of welding strip will directly affect the current collection efficiency of photovoltaic module, so it has a great impact on the power of photovoltaic module. The so-called photovoltaic welding strip is to coat binary or ternary low-melting alloy on the surface of copper strip with given specification.

What is photovoltaic welding strip?

The so-called photovoltaic welding strip is to coat binary or ternary low-melting alloy on the surface of copper strip with given specification. The methods of continuously and evenly coating low-melting metals and alloys on the metal strip include electroplating, vacuum deposition, spraying and hot-dip coating.

Are bimetallic strip Deflection-based solar trackers reliable?

Specifically, bimetallic strip deflection-based trackers are unreliable due to ambient temperature changes at night, resulting in inconsistency across different locations and times. This study addresses this issue by designing a passive solar tracker with a bimetallic strip deflector independent of nighttime temperature differences.

How solar simulator affect the size of photovoltaic welding strip?

According to IEC61215 standard, the light emitted by solar simulator is vertically incident on the surface of photovoltaic welding strip through glass and EVA. The change of surface structure of photovoltaic welding strip will change the reflection path of light on the surface of photovoltaic welding strip, affecting the size of α 1 in Fig. 1.
