As can be seen from
In addition, it should be understood that using the same high refractive index material and low refractive index material, the coated glass of the same color can also be produced by increasing or decreasing the layer number of the coated film and adjusting the thickness of each layer of film, for example, increasing or decreasing the thickness of the film. Moreover, the spectra of coated glass with the same color prepared by different film system design structures are almost the same. However, when designing the film system, a smaller number of layers of film should be used as few as possible in order to reduce the cost.
The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments. Taking the blue coated glass as an example, the film layer may include two layers of the high refractive index material film and two layers of the low refractive index material film, the two layers of the high refractive index material film are the same, and the two layers of the low refractive index material film are also the same. It should be understood that when the film layer includes two layers of the high refractive index material film, the two layers of the high refractive index material film may adopt high refractive index material films of different materials; and when the film layer includes two layers of the low refractive index material film, the two layers of the low refractive index material film may also adopt low refractive index material films of different materials.
The coated plate of the present disclosure adopts a full dielectric film, the average transmittance of the coated plate in the power generation wavelength range of solar module, especially in the wave band range of 380 nm to 1100 nm, is improved by improving the transmittance of the coated plate in the infrared band, so that the power generation efficiency of the solar module of the present disclosure prepared using the coated plate is obviously improved. In addition, since the coated plate of the present disclosure does not adopt a metal film layer, the problem of oxidation of the metal film layer is avoided, and a metal protective layer is not needed, thus saving the cost.
In addition, the coated plate of the present disclosure can be made into different colors as required so as to meet the requirements of rich and various colors, and it is more beautiful after being combined with buildings.
Moreover, in addition to being applied to buildings, the coated plate of the present disclosure can also be applied to a cover plate with decorative effect requirements, such as cell phone back plates, refrigerator panels, and the like.
The embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a method for preparing the coated plate, which includes the following steps: forming a high refractive index material film on the surface of one side of the light-transmitting substrate, wherein the refractive index of the high refractive index material film is higher than that of the light-transmitting substrate.
The method may further include forming a low refractive index material film laminated with the high refractive index material film, wherein the refractive index of the low refractive index material film is lower than the refractive index of the light-transmitting substrate.
The method may specifically include forming multiple layers of the high refractive index material film and multiple layers of the low refractive index material film, wherein the high refractive index material film and the low refractive index material film are alternately arranged on the surface of one side of the light-transmitting substrate, and the light-transmitting substrate is adjacent to the high refractive index material film, wherein the high refractive index material film and the low refractive index material film are formed on the light-transmitting substrate by an evaporation coating method or a magnetron sputtering method in a vacuum state.
As shown in
S1: Cleaning and drying a light-transmitting substrate;
S2: Placing the dried light-transmitting substrate into a vacuum cavity of a coating equipment, and pumping the vacuum cavity into a vacuum state;
S3: Melting or pre-sputtering the coating material;
S4: Introducing the film system design into the coating process procedure;
S5: Depositing the melted or pre-sputtered coating material on the surface of the light-transmitting substrate by adopting an evaporation coating method or a magnetron sputtering method to form at least one layer of high refractive index material film and optionally at least one layer of low refractive index material film;
S6: Breaking the vacuum and taking out the coated plate;
S7: Detecting the coated plate, and packaging the qualified product.
The vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity may be maintained in the range of 1.0×10−4 Pa to 1.0×10−3 Pa before melting or pre-sputtering the coating material. When depositing a high refractive index material film or a low refractive index material film, the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity may be maintained in the range of 3.0×10−2 Pa to 8.0×10−2 Pa. Therefore, when depositing a high refractive index material film or a low refractive index material film, the present disclosure controls the vacuum degree in the vacuum cavity within the range of 3.0×10−2 Pa to 8.0×10−2 Pa, making it easier to obtain a film layer with high purity and suitable hardness.
An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a solar module, in which the coated plate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a colored original plate or a colored glaze plate obtained by colored glazing an original plate, may be used as a front plate, wherein the colored original plate is a colored light-transmitting plate, and the original plate is a light-transmitting plate. As the average transmission rate of the coated plate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is higher in the power generation wavelength range of solar module, the power generation effect of solar module is better.
As shown in
As shown in
In the solar module, the adhesive film may be polyvinyl butyral (PVB) flexible adhesive film or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) flexible adhesive film, and the specific type of solar cell is not limited, for example, it may be CIGS thin film solar cell or crystalline silicon solar cell, etc. Therefore, the specific structure of the solar module of the present disclosure, the type of the adhesive film and solar cell may be selected as required, so that the solar module of the present disclosure can be used in more occasions. Since the average transmittance of the coated plate front plate of the present disclosure is especially high in the power generation wavelength range of 380 nm to 1100 nm of the CIGS thin film solar cell or the crystalline silicon solar cell, the power generation effect of the solar module is especially good when the solar cell adopts the CIGS thin film solar cell or the crystalline silicon solar cell.
