Encapsulation of Solar Cells In order to improve a solar module''s degree of efficiency, a transparent liquid silicone can be used to encapsulate the solar cells. This is particularly important for tailored solar panels that cannot be made by standard lamination processes, for instance. Benefits of silicones: • Fast and void-free encapsulation

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.
The ununiform temperature field, mismatched thermal expansion coefficient and local plastic deformation during welding are the root causes of residual welding stress. The influence of welding process on the yield of solar cells has been discussed above.
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.
Solar cells are one of the important ways to effectively develop and utilize solar energy. The principle of photovoltaic module power generation is that solar cells absorb solar energy and convert it into electricity, and the production of photovoltaic panels usually requires non-renewable energy.
