Photovoltaic welding ribbon<\/a>AsPhotovoltaic modules<\/a>The performance of photovoltaic ribbon directly affects the current collection efficiency and overall power generation performance of photovoltaic modules. In the selection and use of photovoltaic ribbon, there are several key performance indicators that need to be paid attention to to ensure the quality and applicability of the ribbon. The following are several performances that need special attention during the use of photovoltaic ribbon.<\/p>\n 1. Electrical conductivity<\/strong><\/p>\n The main function of photovoltaic ribbon is to connect the cells and conduct electricity, so its conductivity is the primary consideration. Good conductivity can reduce resistance loss and maximize the power generation efficiency of the module. The material of the ribbon is usually high-purity copper or tinned copper to ensure its excellent conductivity.<\/p>\n Note:<\/p>\n Choose a material with high conductivity, such as copper.<\/p>\n The uniformity of the plating also affects the conductive properties, ensuring the thickness and uniformity of the tin or silver plating layer.<\/p>\n 2. Antioxidant properties<\/strong><\/p>\n Photovoltaic modules are used outdoors for a long time, and the soldering tape needs to be exposed to the air and faces the threat of oxidation. Soldering tape with poor oxidation resistance is prone to oxidation during use, resulting in reduced conductivity at the welding point, which affects the service life of the module. Therefore, the surface of high-quality soldering tape needs to be plated, such as tin plating or silver plating, to enhance its oxidation resistance.<\/p>\n Note:<\/p>\n The quality and thickness of the coating determine the oxidation resistance of the welding strip. Usually, the coating is required to be uniform and free of bubbles and voids.<\/p>\n Antioxidant properties are particularly important in high temperature and high humidity environments.<\/p>\n 3. Mechanical strength and flexibility<\/strong><\/p>\n The soldering tape needs to withstand mechanical stress during welding, so mechanical strength and flexibility are properties that must be considered. The flexibility of the soldering tape can ensure that it will not break easily during welding, while its mechanical strength can ensure that it is not easily deformed and damaged during installation and transportation.<\/p>\n Note:<\/p>\n Choose the appropriate annealing process to ensure the softness of the solder ribbon, especially when manual soldering requires a soft solder ribbon.<\/p>\n The automated welding process requires the welding ribbon to have a certain hardness and linearity to improve welding efficiency and reliability.<\/p>\n 4. Welding performance<\/strong><\/p>\n Photovoltaic welding ribbons must have good welding performance to ensure reliable connection between cells. Surface treatment of the welding ribbon, such as tin plating, can effectively improve welding performance, ensure that the welding is firm and not easy to fall off, and the welding is uniform and has good conductivity.<\/p>\n Note:<\/p>\n The welding temperature should be within an appropriate range. Too high or too low a temperature will affect the welding effect.<\/p>\n When choosing a lead-free soldering process, the surface treatment of the solder ribbon and the matching of the flux are very important.<\/p>\n
