With the increasingly serious energy and environmental problems, it is urgent to use clean and renewable energy, herein, a photovoltaic power generation technology has developed rapidly and become increasingly mature, and the application of a photovoltaic cell has gradually become popular. In order to further improve the conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic cell, reduce the preparation cost, and realize cheap access to the Internet, new module technologies are constantly developing. With the development of new module technologies. Such as multi-grid, half-sheet, stacked sheet, stacked tile, patchwork and stacked welding, etc., the power of a module is greatly improved in comparison with that of an ordinary photovoltaic module. With the development of technology, the thickness of a cell piece is gradually decreasing. However, compared with an ordinary photovoltaic module, the photovoltaic module using the above cell technologies and module technologies obviously increase the risk of a cell piece fracture, a micro-crack, grating breakage, etc. in the service process, and even has a higher probability in the cell piece or module production process.
A packaging material plays the role of bonding protection on modules, and a conventional packaging material such as EVA film can increase the reliability of the modules to a certain extent. However, the reliability of a conventional packaged high-efficiency new cell and module cannot be ignored, and more stringent requirements are put forward for the packaging material. Usually, a high-weight packaging adhesive film can solve the above-mentioned related problems to a certain extent, but the high-weight packaging adhesive film costs more, which does not facilitate the cost reduction of modules.
The disclosure mainly aims to provide a packaging adhesive film and a photovoltaic module, so as to solve the problem of high production cost when the packaging adhesive film in a prior art solves the reliability problems such as a micro-crack, a fracture and grating breakage, etc. occur to a cell piece in the packaging and laminating process of the photovoltaic module.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the disclosure provides a packaging adhesive film, the packaging adhesive film comprises a planar base layer and a buffer layer, the buffer layer is arranged on a surface of the planar base layer, and the buffer layer comprises a plurality of buffer parts arranged at intervals, each one of the buffer part comprises a long strip-shaped protrusion, and the long strip-shaped protrusion being arranged in a position corresponding to a photovoltaic ribbon, or arranged in a position corresponding to a cell piece gap in the photovoltaic module, or arranged in a position corresponding to a position of a depression of a lap portion, of a laminated photovoltaic module, or arranged in a position corresponding to a position of a depression of a lap portion, of a stacked tile photovoltaic module.

Further, the planar base layer and the buffer layer are made of different materials, preferably, the planar base layer and the buffer layer being independently of each other selected from EVA or POE, preferably, a foaming structure being distributed in the buffer layer, and preferably the foam open cell ratio of the buffer layer being 10-80%.
Further, the planar base layer is a three-layer composite structure, the middle layer of the three-layer composite structure being a foaming material, the two outer layers of the three-layer composite structure being independently of each other selected from EVA or POE, the buffer layer is preferably selected from EVA or POE.

As multiple-grid protrude from the surface of a cell piece, and there were overlapping areas among half-cell, laminated sheet, laminated tile, spliced and stitch-welded new photovoltaic modules, steps may be formed, accordingly, the joint is thick, and then stress concentration may exist in the laminating process of the photovoltaic modules, resulting in a thin packaging adhesive film at the joint during lamination, and further causing a micro-crack, a fracture or grating breakage of the cell piece. In view of this, according to the disclosure, through the improvement that the buffer layer is arranged on a surface of the planar base layer of the packaging adhesive film, the buffer layer includes a plurality of buffer parts arranged at intervals, each one of the buffer part includes a long strip-shaped protrusion, and the long strip-shaped protrusion is arranged in a position corresponding to a photovoltaic ribbon, or in a position corresponding to a cell piece gap in the photovoltaic module, or in a position corresponding to a position of a depression of a lap portion of a laminated photovoltaic module, or in a position corresponding to a position of a depression of a lap portion of a stacked tile photovoltaic module, the probability of the reliability problems such as the micro-crack, the fracture and the grating breakage occur to the cell piece in the packaging and laminating process of the photovoltaic module is reduced.

The packaging adhesive film is simple in structure, and as the disclosure only aims at thickening the part of the packaging adhesive film corresponding to the position where the cell piece is prone to the micro-crack, the fracture and the grating breakage, therefore, compared with the thickening of the whole packaging adhesive film in the prior art, the packaging adhesive film of the disclosure solves the reliability problems such as the micro-crack, the fracture and the grating breakage occur to the cell piece in the packaging and laminating process of the photovoltaic module, as well as greatly reduces the production cost.

The above-mentioned planar base layer 10 and buffer layer 20 of the disclosure are made of the same material, and there is no special requirement for the material, same may be arranged with reference to the conventional packaging adhesive film material in the prior art, for example, material such as EVA or POE may be selected. The manufacturing method of the packaging adhesive film may refer to the manufacturing process of the packaging adhesive film in the prior art, for example, in the disclosure, an extrusion casting process may be adopted, and an embossing roll is set for a structure of the buffer part 30, after passing through the embossing roll and a rubber roll, the packaging adhesive film may form a long strip-shaped protrusion at a corresponding place, so as to obtain the packaging adhesive film in the disclosure.

As multiple-grid protrude from the surface of a cell piece, and there are overlapping areas among half-cell, laminated sheet, laminated tile, spliced and stitch-welded new photovoltaic modules, steps may be formed, accordingly, the joint is thick, and then stress concentration may exist in the laminating process of the photovoltaic modules, resulting in a thin packaging adhesive film at the joint during lamination, and further causing the micro-crack, the fracture or the grating breakage of the cell piece. In view of this, if the packaging adhesive film is used as the packaging adhesive film of the multi-grid, the half-cell, the laminated sheet, the laminated tile, the spliced, and the stitch-welded new photovoltaic modules, the probability of the reliability problems such as the micro-crack, the fracture and the grating breakage occur to the cell piece in the packaging and laminating process of the photovoltaic module may be reduced.
