Solar cell soldering method

First of all, for good results, a quality soldering iron is needed. The common standard for example in China is a 90 or 130 Watts soldering iron. The size of the soldering tip may vary but can not exceed the size of the tab ribbonthat is soldered on the cell. Soldering temperature is key here. The right temperature depends on.

6 FAQs about [Solar cell soldering method]

How are solar cells soldered?

The cells are soldered to a 160 μm x 1.6 mm copper ribbon with SnPbAg-coating in a commercially available tabber stringer. The soldering method is infrared soldering. The strings are cut into single soldered cells to obtain 40 solar cells. The rear side of the each cell is attached to a rigid substrate to avoid cell cracking at high peel forces.

How to test crystalline silicon solar cells after soldering?

The first test to qualify the interconnection of crystalline silicon solar cells after soldering is the peel test. The interconnector ribbons are peeled off from the solar cell measuring the force. This easy and fast method is used to accept or reject new cells in a module production line and to optimize the soldering process of a tabber stringer.

Can You solder a solar cell with a soldering iron?

As mentioned above, it depends on the melting temperature of the solder on the tab ribbons. The hotter the soldering iron, the faster you can work. However, it is important not to overheat the solar cells, which will make the cells brittle and will definitely damage the cell.

How do you jig solar cells while soldering?

The first jig is to hold the solar cells while soldering. I made this from a piece of scrap wood and some small nails. I laid out a few of the solar cells on the board and marked places to put the nails. Make sure you put the nails in places that when you are soldering that they do not get in the way of your solder iron.

What is the minimum force required for soldering a solar cell?

It is part of the solar cell standard DIN EN 50461 and is, due to its ease of use, widely accepted to qualify cell metallizations and the soldering process. In the standard a minimum force of 1 N per mm of joint width is specified but other relevant quantities are missing, for example the peeling angle.

What are the advantages of solar cell soldering?

Nowadays the majority of solar module manufacturers are switching to automatic solar cell soldering. There are several advantages to this. Automatic solar cell soldering [/caption] When using automatic soldering, the quality is more consistent, there are less breakages and thinner solar cells can be used.
