项目摘要

In current silicon solar module designs, when high performance individual cells are assembled into modules, performance degrades---this performance reduction is in both power output and degradation due to environmental factors such as moisture ingress and thermal stress in the modules. With increasing demand in the market for high power and long-life modules, we propose to develop high power modules with power exceeding 400 W and low sensitivity to environmental factors to achieve a predicted performance lifetime of 40 years. This will be achieved by focusing on multi-layer encapsulatiion materials and advanced nanostructured materials for interconnects, selected and validated by state of the art characterization methods, numerical modelling and performance testing supported by simulations. Our primary module technology will be shingled and bifacial modules, and multi-layer polymer materials will be considered for the encapsulation and busbarless interconnect technology, as well as conductive adhesives used in cell-cell inter-connects to reduce processing temperatures and resultant residual stress. Successful commercialization of the technology developed will help towards lowering the levelized cost of electricty (LCOE) to levels required for achieving green house gas emission targets. The results of this work will enable a made-in-Canada solution for manufacturing of the next generation photovoltaic (PV) modules that will position our team as a world leader in renewable energy , while training a new cohort of HQPs for this critical industry.

在当前的硅太阳能模块设计中，当高性能单元组装成模块时，性能降低 - 由于环境因素（例如水分入口和模块中的热应力），这种性能降低均在功率输出和降解中。随着市场对高力和长寿模块的需求不断增长，我们建议开发具有超过400 W的高功率模块，并且对环境因素的敏感性低，以实现预测的绩效寿命为40年。这将通过专注于多层封装材料和用于互连的高级纳米结构材料，并通过最新的表征方法选择和验证，由模拟支持的数值建模和性能测试。我们的主要模块技术将被包装和双面模块，并且将考虑用于封装和无荷间互连技术的多层聚合物材料，以及用于降低加工温度和结果残留应力的细胞间相连接中使用的导电粘合剂。开发的技术的成功商业化将有助于将电动的电动成本（LCOE）降低到实现温室气体排放目标所需的水平。这项工作的结果将使加拿大制造的解决方案用于制造下一代光伏（PV）模块，该模块将使我们的团队成为可再生能源的世界领导者，同时培训了这个关键行业的新组合。
