초록
태양광 발전소에 설치된PERC 태양광 모듈 스트링-어레이는 고전압의 전위차로 인해 여전히 potential-induced degradation(PID) 열화 현상이 여전히 보고되고 있다. 이는 태양전지 모듈 커버글라스의 Na+ 이온이 태양전지 봉지재(EVA)를 투과하여 셀 표면으로 전이되고 결함이 많이 분포되어 있는 ARC(SiOx/SiNx) 계면에 양전하가 축적됨으로써shunt-Resistance(Rsh)가 감소되고 누설전류량이 증가되어 태양전지 출력이 저하되는 현상이다. 본 연구에서는 이를 방지하기 위해 나노임프린트 리소그래피(nano-imprint lithography, NIL) 방식을 이용하여 모스아이(Moth-eye) 나노 구조를광학 필름 후면에 증착 하였고, 이를 커버글라스와 EVA 사이에 삽입하여 태양광 미니 모듈을 구성하였다. PID 열화 현상을 확인하기 위해 IEC 62804-1 규격에 기반한 셀 단위 PID 열화가속시험을 진행하였고, Light I-V, Dark I-V 분석을통해 출력(Pmax), 효율(Efficiency), 병렬 저항(shunt resistance)을 확인하였다. 그 결과 기존의 태양전지는 초기 효율19.76%에서 6.3% 감소하였으나 모스아이 나노 구조 광학 필름(Moth-eye film)이 적용된 태양전지는 0.6% 만 감소하여PID 열화 현상이 방지되는 것을 확인하였고, 모스아이 나노구조를 통해 투과도가 4% 향상되어 미니 모듈 출력이 2.5% 향상되었다.
Abstract
The PERC photovoltaic (PV) modules installed in PV power plant are still reports potential-induced degradation (PID) degradation due to high voltage potential differences. This is because Na+ ions in the cover glass of PV modules go through the encapsulant (EVA) and transferred to the surface of solar cells. As positive charges are accumulated at the ARC (SiOx/SiNx) interface where many defects are distributed, shunt-resistance (Rsh) is reduced. As a result, the leakage current is increased, and decrease in solar cell’s power output. In this study, to prevent of this phenomenon, a Moth-eye nanostructure was deposited on the rear surface of an optical film using Nano-Imprint Lithography method, and a solar mini-module was constructed by inserting it between the cover glass and the EVA. To analyze the PID phenomenon, a cell-level PID acceleration test based on IEC 62804-1 standard was conducted. Also analyzed power output (Pmax), efficiency, and shunt resistance through Light I-V and Dark I-V. As a result, conventional solar cells were decreased by 6.3% from the initial efficiency of 19.76%, but the improved solar cells with the Motheye nanostructured optical film only decreased 0.6%, thereby preventing the PID phenomenon. As of Moth-eye nanostructured optical film, the transmittance was improved by 4%, and the solar module output was improved by 2.5%.
