BEST MODE FOR INVENTION

(13) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, embodiments of the present disclosure may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described below. In addition, embodiments of the present disclosure are provided to fully describe the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. The shape and size of elements in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity of description. In particular, in the schematic view of a cross section, a thickness of each layer is expressed as the same for ease of illustration, but a thickness of each layer may be formed differently.

(14) Also, in this specification, a singular term includes a plural form unless otherwise indicated, and throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components or corresponding components.

(15) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

(16) Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a photovoltaic power generation module 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a pattern glass 110 including a pattern member 120 having an optical pattern formed thereon, a solar cell module 130 having a solar cell 133, a plurality of supportive adhering parts 160 adhered to the pattern member 120 and each having a cylindrical shape, and a filler 150 filling a space between the supportive adhering part 160 and the solar cell module 130.

(17) As illustrated in the examples in FIGS. 4 and 5, the pattern glass 110 may include a base member 115, and a pattern member 120 provided in the base member 115 and having an optical pattern formed thereon.

(18) In the base member 115, a color layer 113 may be formed on an incident light exit side of a protective glass 112, and an AR coating layer 111 may be provided on an incident light input side of the protective glass 112. However, a structure of the base member 115 is not limited thereto, and the color layer 113 or the AR coating layer 111 may not be provided, or another layer may be additionally formed.

(19) Also, the pattern member 120 may be provided in the base member 115, and an optical pattern may be formed on the pattern member 120.

(20) In this case, the pattern member 120 may have a shape including an asymmetrical prism as in the example illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, but a shape of the asymmetrical prism is not limited thereto.

(21) For example, as illustrated in FIG. 12A, the pattern member 120 having an asymmetrical prism shape may have a shape in which a base portion 121 and a planar portion 124 are included, a short-surface portion 122 may be formed by a linear portion 122a and a curved portion 122b, and a long-surface portion 123 may be formed by two linear portions 123a and 123b, or as illustrated in FIG. 12B, the pattern member 120 may have a shape in which both the short-surface portion 122 and the long-surface portion 123 may be formed by linear lines, or as illustrated in FIG. 12C, the pattern member 120 may have a shape in which the short-surface portion 122 may be formed by a curved line and the long-surface portion 123 may be formed by a linear line, such that the pattern member 120 may have various shapes. Also, FIGS. 5 and 12 illustrate an asymmetrical prism having a planar portion 125, but the pattern member 120 in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include an asymmetrical prism which does not have a planar portion.

(22) Also, the optical pattern formed on the pattern member 120 may have a shape in which transmittance may be higher and reflectance may be lower at a viewing angle on one side than at a viewing angle on the other side with reference to a surface perpendicular to the base member 115. Here, the configuration in which transmittance or reflectance may be high or low may be determined by comparing a maximum value or a minimum value of transmittance/reflectance at a viewing angle on one side and at a viewing angle on the other side.

(23) In other words, the optical pattern illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 may have a shape in which, with reference (a reference surface) to a surface perpendicular to the base member 115, when light is incident in a direction inclined to the left side from the reference surface, transmittance may be higher and reflectance may be lower than when light is incident in a direction inclined to the right side from the reference surface (the configuration will be described later with reference to FIGS. 8A and 8B).

(24) Accordingly, when the pattern member 120 illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 is stood for the left side to be an upper side (when the pattern member 120 is rotated in a clockwise direction by 90 degrees), transmittance of light incident from the left side (an upper side) may increase such that the amount of light transmitted to the solar cell 133 may increase, and as transmittance of light incident from the right side (a lower side) is relatively low and reflectance thereof is relatively high, an unnecessary increase of transmittance of gaze light transmitted to an observer located on the right side (a lower side) may be prevented (the configuration is disclosed in the patent application No. 2017-0105067 filed by the present inventor on Aug. 17, 2017, and the disclosure of the above application is included in this specification as a reference).

(25) Also, as for various modified examples of the pattern member 120 illustrated in FIGS. 12A, 12B and 12C, the pattern member 120 may have a shape in which, with reference to a surface perpendicular to the base member 115, when light is incident in a direction inclined to the left side, transmittance may be higher and reflectance may be lower than when light is incident in a direction inclined to the right side.

(26) Also, the solar cell module 130 may include a solar cell 133.

(27) The solar cell module 130 may include a glass 131, a sealing material 132, a solar cell 133, a sealing material 134, and a back sheet 135 as in the example illustrated in FIG. 4, but when the solar cell module 130 includes the solar cell 133, a specific structure thereof may not be limited to the example illustrated in FIG. 4. For example, a portion of the elements, such as the glass 131, or the glass 131 and sealing material 132, may not be included, or an additional layer may be added.

(28) Here, the glass 131 may protect the solar cell module 130 from physical damage and may increase transmittance of light such that sunlight may be transmitted to the solar cell 133. The sealing materials 132 and 134 may protect the fragile solar cell 133 and the circuit from impact, and may be configured to transmit sunlight, and may be mainly formed of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). Also, the back sheet 135 may be disposed on a rear surface of the solar cell 133 to protect the solar cell 133 from external environments such as heat, humidity, and ultraviolet rays, and may further improve efficiency of the solar cell module 130 through re-reflection of incoming sunlight.

(29) Also, the supportive adhering part 160 may be adhered to the pattern member 120 and may be configured to have a cylindrical shape. Also, the supportive adhering part 160 may allow the pattern glass 110 and the solar cell module 130 to be integrated with each other along with the filler 150 which will be described later.

(30) In this case, the supportive adhering part 160 may include an optically clear adhesive (OCA). An OCA may be an optical-use transparent adhesive, and may have high transmissibility and may increase a thickness (a height) such that an OCA may function as an adhesive and a support.

(31) An OCA may have a refractive index of about 1.5-1.6, and may be attached to a cured pattern member 120 in certain pattern.

(32) In FIGS. 4 and 5, a shape of the supportive adhering part 160 is illustrated as a cylinder having a circular cross-sectional surface, but a shape of the supportive adhering part 160 is not limited thereto. For example, the supportive adhering part 160 may have a rectangular cross-sectional surface as illustrated in FIG. 7A, and may have a rhombus-shaped cross-sectional surface as illustrated in FIG. 7B.

(33) Also, the filler 150 may fill a space between the supportive adhering part 160 and the solar cell module 130, and may be used with the supportive adhering part 160 such that the pattern glass 110 and the solar cell module 130 may be integrated.

(34) In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 4, when the glass 131 is provided in the solar cell module 130, the filler 150 may fill a space between the glass 131 and the supportive adhering part 160.

(35) The filler 150 may include an acetate-based or silicon-based materials. For example, the acetate-based material may include ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA). Also, a refractive index of the filler 150 may be approximately 1.5-1.6.

(36) In this case, one side of the filler 150 may be coupled to the supportive adhering part 160, and the other side may be coupled to the solar cell module 130. In other words, the filling material 150 may be used with the supportive adhering part 160 to combine the pattern glass 110 and the solar cell module 130 such that the photovoltaic power generation module 100 having a single layer structure may be manufactured.

(37) Meanwhile, the solar cell module 130 may not include the glass 131, or the glass 131 and the sealing material 132, and in this case, one side of the filler 150 may be coupled to the supportive adhering part 160, and the other side may be coupled to the sealing material 132 of the solar cell module 130 or the solar cell 133.

(38) Also, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a height of the supportive adhering part 160 may be configured to be greater than a height of the pattern member 120 such that a gap h for forming an air layer between the filler 150 and the pattern member 120 may be formed.

(39) Accordingly, in the photovoltaic power generation module 100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure, as there is a difference in refractive indexes between the pattern member 120 and an air layer, optical performance of the pattern member 120 may be maintained similarly to that of the photovoltaic power generation module 20 having a multilayer structure illustrated in FIG. 2, which will be described later.

(40) In this case, the gap h for forming an air layer between the filler 150 and the pattern member 120 may be configured to be within a range of 10-1000 μm preferably.

(41) The gap h for an air layer may have an extremely small size, but when the gap h is less than 10 μm, the pattern member 120 and the filler 150 may be partially in contact with each other due to tolerance in a manufacturing process. Thus, the gap h may be 10 μm or greater preferably. Also, when the gap h exceeds 1000 μm, a height (a thickness) of the supportive adhering part 160 may excessively increase such that a sufficient weight may not be supported. Thus, the gap h may be 1000 μm (1 mm) or less preferably.

(42) Meanwhile, the supportive adhering part 160 may be attached to the cured pattern member 120 in certain pattern. In other words, an adhesive such as an OCA may be formed as a pattern and a cylindrical shape may be formed on the pattern member 120, and the adhesive may be UV (infrared) cured. Thereafter, the fully-cured or semi-cured supportive adhering part 160 may be attached to the filler 150.

(43) Through this, as illustrated in FIG. 5, a portion 161 of the supportive adhering part 160 may be adhered to the pattern member 120, the other portion 162 may be attached to the filler 150, and a portion 163 of a side surface of the supportive adhering part 160 may be in contact with an air layer.

(44) In this case, as refractive indexes of the supportive adhering part 160, the filler 150, and the pattern member 120 may be about 1.5-1.6, there may be no significant difference among the refractive indexes. Accordingly, total reflection may rarely occur in a region in which the supportive adhering part 160 is adhered to the pattern member 120 such that transmissivity may increase and reflectance may decrease.

(45) Accordingly, when an area of the supportive adhering part 160 increases, an area in contact with the pattern member 120 may also increase such that optical performance of the pattern member 120 may degrade.

(46) Thus, as illustrated in FIG. 6A, when the supportive adhering part 160 is installed on a wide area, transmittance may increase and reflectance may decrease as illustrated in FIG. 6B as compared to the case in which the supportive adhering part 160 is installed in a narrow area, which may cause an aesthetic problem for an observer at a viewing angle from a lower side.

(47) Referring to FIG. 6C, an area ratio (a projected area ratio when being viewed directly on a planar surface) of the supportive adhering part 160 to the pattern member 120 on a planar surface may be calculated as below:
Area Ratio of Supportive Adhering Part=πD.sup.2/(4PxPy)  [Equation 1]

(48) In the equation, D: a diameter of the supportive adhering part, Px: a spacing distance of the supportive adhering part in a horizontal direction, and Py: a spacing distance of the supportive adhering part in a vertical direction.

(49) FIGS. 8A and 8B are a graph showing comparison of transmittance and reflectance with a first comparative example having a multilayer structure illustrated in FIG. 2 while changing an area ratio of the supportive adhering part 160 to the photovoltaic power generation module 100 having a single layer structure of an embodiment of the present disclosure illustrated in FIG. 4.

(50) A photovoltaic power generation module 20 of a first comparative example illustrated in FIG. 2 and a photovoltaic power generation module 30 of a second comparative example illustrated in FIG. 3 were configured to have substantially the same configuration as that of the photovoltaic power generation module 100 illustrated in FIG. 4.

(51) In other words, a pattern glass 23 of the photovoltaic power generation module 20 illustrated in FIG. 2 may include a base member 21 having an AR coating layer 21a, a protective glass 21b, and a color layer 21c, and a pattern member 22. Also, a pattern glass 33 of the photovoltaic power generation module 30 illustrated in FIG. 3 may include a base member 31 having an AR coating layer 31a, a protective glass 31b, and a color layer 31c, and a pattern member 32. The elements of each of the pattern glass 23 in FIG. 2 and the pattern glass 33 in FIG. 3 may correspond to the base member 115 having the AR coating layer 111, the protective glass 112, and the color layer 113, and the pattern member 120, respectively, included in the pattern glass 110 of the photovoltaic power generation module 100 illustrated in FIG. 4, and the corresponding elements were configured to have the same shape, material, and optical properties.

(52) Also, a solar cell module 25 of the photovoltaic module 20 illustrated in FIG. 2 may include a glass 25a, a sealing material 25b, a solar cell 25c, a sealing material 25d, and a back sheet 25e. Also, a solar cell module 35 of the photovoltaic power generation module 30 illustrated in FIG. 3 may include a glass 35a, a sealing material 35b, a solar cell 35c, a sealing material 35d, and a back sheet 35e. The elements provided in the solar cell module 25 of FIG. 2 and the solar cell module 35 of FIG. 3 may correspond to the glass 131, the sealing material 132, the solar cell 133, the sealing material 134, and the back sheet 135 included in the solar cell module 130 of the photovoltaic power generation module 100 illustrated in FIG. 4.

(53) However, as the photovoltaic power generation module 20 was configured to have a multilayer structure, an air gap G may be formed between the pattern glass 23 and the solar cell module 25, and in the photovoltaic power generation module 30 in FIG. 3, a filler was configured to entirely fill a space between the pattern glass 33 and the solar cell module 35 to form a single layer structure.

(54) Meanwhile, as for a viewing angle illustrated in the graphs in FIGS. 8A and 8B, with reference (a reference surface) to a surface perpendicular to the base member 115 in FIGS. 2 to 5, a viewing angle of when light is incident in a direction inclined to the left side from the reference surface by a certain angle may be indicated as positive (+), and a viewing angle of when light is incident in a direction inclined to the right side from the reference surface by a certain angle may be indicated as negative (−).

(55) In other words, when the pattern member 120 illustrated in FIGS. 2 to 5 is stood (mounted on an external wall of a building) for the left side to be an upper side (when the pattern member 120 is rotated in a clockwise direction by 90 degrees), a negative (−) viewing angle area of the left side may indicate transmittance and reflectance of light incident from the right side (a lower side of a building), and a positive (+) viewing angle area of the right side may indicate transmittance and reflectance of light incident from the left side (an upper side of a building), in the graphs in FIGS. 8A and 8B.

(56) As illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, in the first comparative example having a multilayer structure illustrated in FIG. 2, transmittance at a viewing angle of the upper side (positive) of a building may be higher than transmittance at a viewing angle of the lower side (negative) of the building, and on the contrary, reflectance at a viewing angle of the lower side of the building may be higher than reflectance at a viewing angle of the upper side of the building.

(57) Thus, transmittance of light incident in an upper side direction (positive viewing angle) of the building may be high such that the amount of light transmitted to the solar cell 133 may increase, and as transmittance of light incident in a lower side direction (negative viewing angle) of the building may be relatively low and reflectance may be relatively high such that an unnecessary increase of transmittance of gaze light transmitted to an observer positioned on the lower side of the building may be prevented.

(58) However, as the first comparative example (multilayer structure) illustrated in FIG. 2 has a multilayer structure, workability and assembling properties may significantly degrade, which may be a problem.

(59) When a shape in which the filler 37 entirely fills a space between the pattern glass 33 and the solar cell module 35 as in the second comparative example illustrated in FIG. 3 so as to change a structure of the first comparative example (multilayer structure) illustrated in FIG. 2 to be a single layer structure is included, there may be almost no difference in refractive indexes between the pattern member 32 having a refractive index of about 1.5-1.6 and the filler 37 (e.g., EVA) having a refractive index of about 1.5-1.6. Accordingly, it may be difficult for total reflection to occur on a boundary surface between the pattern member 32 and the filler 37.

(60) Accordingly, in the second comparative example in FIG. 3, an optical pattern of the pattern member 32 which was configured in consideration of transmittance and reflectance according to a viewing angle may not be able to perform an optical function, and accordingly, transmittance in a lower side direction (negative viewing angle) of the building may increase, but reflectance of light incident in the lower side direction of the building may rapidly decrease, which may cause an aesthetic problem to an observer.

(61) Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, it has been indicated that, when an area ratio of the supportive adhering part 160 was configured differently and was compared with that of the first comparative example (multilayer structure) illustrated in FIG. 2, the more the area ratio of the supportive adhering part 160 increased, the more the transmittance increased and reflectance decreased.

(62) In the present disclosure, the multilayer structure of the first comparative example illustrated in FIG. 2 may be changed to a single layer structure without a significant difference in optical performance. To this end, transmittance which is not significantly different from that of a multilayer structure in an upper side direction (positive viewing angle) of the building, and reflectance which is not greatly decreased from that of the multilayer structure in a lower side direction (negative viewing angle) of the building may be necessary.

(63) In consideration of the example illustrated in FIGS. 8A and 8B, an overall area of the supportive adhering part 160 may be 3-20% of an area of the pattern member 120 preferably.

(64) When the area ratio is 20% or higher, reflectance may be less than 25% in a lower side direction (negative viewing angle) of the building such that there may be an aesthetic problem to an observer, and when the area ratio is less than 3%, there may be a problem in which adhesion performance and support performance of the supportive adhering part 160 may degrade. Particularly, when the area ratio is less than 3%, there may be a problem in which the supportive adhering part 160 may be deformed such that the supportive adhering part 160 may not support a weight of the pattern glass 110.

(65) An overall area of the supportive adhering part 160 may be 5-13% of an area of the pattern member 120 preferably. In this case, adhesion performance and support performance of the supportive adhering part 160 may be sufficiently secured, and transmittance and reflectance may be maintained to be similar to transmittance at a positive viewing angle and reflectance at a negative viewing angle of a multilayer structure.

(66) Accordingly, the photovoltaic power generation module 100 in the embodiment of the present disclosure may improve workability and assembling properties by configuring the multilayer structure as in the first comparative example illustrated in FIG. 2 to be a single layer structure, and an effect in which there may be no significant difference in terms of optical properties as compared to the multilayer structure as in the first comparative example illustrated in FIG. 2 may be obtained.

(67) In the description below, a photovoltaic power generation module 100 according to another example embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 11.

(68) The photovoltaic power generation module 100 illustrated in FIG. 9 may have the same configuration as in the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 other than the configuration in which the supportive adhering part 160 may further include a light scattering agent 165. Thus, the detailed descriptions of the same or similar elements will not be provided to avoid unnecessary overlapping description.

(69) When the supportive adhering part 160 is adhered to the pattern member 120 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there may be almost no difference in refractive indexes on an adhesive boundary surface such that total reflection may rarely occur, and accordingly, reflectance may decrease at a negative viewing angle, which may be a problem.

(70) However, as illustrated in FIG. 9, when the supportive adhering part 160 includes the light scattering agent 165, the light scattering agent 165 may scatter incident light such that transmittance may decrease, and reflectance may increase. As the light scattering agent 165, polymer particle or a polymer material such as a haze ball may be used, but a type of the light scattering agent 165 is not limited thereto.

(71) By adjusting the amount of the light scattering agent 165, transmittance and reflectance may be adjusted.

(72) FIGS. 10A and 10B illustrate changes in transmittance and reflectance according to changes in weight ratio (wt %) of a light scattering agent to a total weight of the supportive adhering part 160 including the light scattering agent 165. As the light scattering agent 165, a TiO2 haze ball having a refractive index of 2.1 was used, and only a weight ratio was configured differently.

(73) As illustrated in FIGS. 10A and 10B, when the light scattering agent 165 is not used, transmittance increased at a positive viewing angle, but reflectance greatly decreased at a negative viewing angle such that an aesthetic problem may be caused to an observer.

(74) However, it has been indicated that, by increasing a weight ratio of the light scattering agent 165, reflectance at a negative viewing angle increased.

(75) In consideration of the above example, the light scattering agent 165 may be included in the supportive adhering part by 5-60 weight % preferably.

(76) When a weight ratio of the light scattering agent is less than 5 wt %, an effect of scattering may not be significant such that an effect of compensation for a refractive index may not be significant. When the weight ratio exceeds 60 wt %, reflectance at a negative viewing angle may be sufficiently secured, but an adhesive ratio of the supportive adhering part 160 may decrease such that it may be difficult for the supportive adhering part 160 to perform a function as a support and an adhesive.

(77) The supportive adhering part 160 may include a color pigment (dye) instead of the light scattering agent 165. By using such a color pigment, a scattering effect and an effect of increase of reflectance may be obtained.

(78) As illustrated in FIGS. 11A and 11B, when a color pigment is not added, reflectance at a negative viewing angle may greatly decrease, but when a color pigment is added, reflectance at a negative viewing angle may be almost similar to that of the multilayer structure as in the first comparative example illustrated in FIG. 2.

(79) In this case, the color pigment may be included in the supportive adhering part 160 by 3-30 weight % preferably. In FIGS. 11A and 11B, a reference concentration refers to a case in which the supportive adhering part 160 includes 3 weight % of the color pigment.

(80) When the color pigment is less than 3 wt %, the scattering and an effect of increase of reflectance at a negative viewing angle according to the scattering may not be significant. When the color pigment exceeds 30 wt %, an increase of reflectance may not be greatly resolved and there may be a limitation in support and adhesion performance of the supportive adhering part 160, and costs may increase, which may be a problem.

(81) Although the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail above, the scope of rights of the present invention is not limited thereto, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present disclosure as set forth in the claims.
