This application claims priority from Taiwan Patent Application No. 098121382 filed in the Taiwan Patent Office on Jun. 25, 2009, entitled “Method of Manufacturing Condenser Component of Concentration Photovoltaic Module”, which is incorporated in its entirety by reference.
The present disclosure relates to manufacturing a condenser component; more particularly, the present disclosure relates to manufacturing a condenser component of concentration photovoltaic module, which has good hardness to effectively resist sudden stroke and has good weatherability to be used outdoors for long.
In general, a condenser lens is fabricated integrally through hot-pressing or injection molding, where a Fresnel structure is formed on a plastic material. The condenser lens having the Fresnel structure is corresponding to a surface of a solar cell to condense a light source on the solar cell. Thus, the solar cell obtains an output power by the coordination of the condenser lens having the Fresnel structure.
However, the condenser lens having the Fresnel structure is made of a plastic material, which has weak weatherability. When the condenser lens is used outdoors for long, it may be deformed owing to sun-burn heat at day and coldness at night. In addition, the condenser lens made through hot-pressing or injection molding does not have good hardness. When the condenser lens is hit by a sudden stroke, it may be broken. Hence, the prior art does not fulfill all users' requests on actual use.
The main purpose of the present disclosure is to manufacture a condenser component of concentration photovoltaic module, which has good hardness to effectively resist sudden stroke and has good weatherability to be used outdoors for long.
To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure is a method of manufacturing a condenser component of concentration photovoltaic module, comprising steps of: (a) providing a light transmission substrate made of strengthened ultra-white glass; (b) pasting a molding material on a mold to form a molding material layer, where the molding material is processed through de-voiding in a vacuum chamber and the mold has a lens forming area; (c) laying the light transmission substrate on the molding material layer over the mold to form the molding material layer by pressing; and (d) after forming the molding material layer, separating the mold from the molding material layer to form a lens structure on a surface of the molding material layer for obtaining the condenser component of the light transmission substrate coordinated with the molding material layer. Accordingly, a novel method of manufacturing a condenser component of concentration photovoltaic module is obtained.
The present disclosure will be better understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment according to the present disclosure, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which
The following description of the preferred embodiment is provided to understand the features and the structures of the present disclosure.

Through the above steps, a condenser component having good hardness is manufactured conveniently, easily and effectively; and a novel method of manufacturing a condenser component of concentration photovoltaic module is thus obtained.
Please refer to
To sum up, the present disclosure is a method of manufacturing a condenser component of concentration photovoltaic module, where a condenser component is manufactured to obtain good hardness sustainable to sudden stroke and good weatherability on being used outdoors for long.
The preferred embodiment herein disclosed is not intended to unnecessarily limit the scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, simple modifications or variations belonging to the equivalent of the scope of the claims and the instructions disclosed herein for a patent are all within the scope of the present disclosure.
