DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(9) To make objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer and more comprehensible, this application is further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely used for explaining this application but are not intended to limit this application.

(10) Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells according to an embodiment of this application includes a body 101, a plurality of first solder joints 11, and a plurality of second solder joints 12. The plurality of first solder joints 11 and the plurality of second solder joints 12 are respectively located on two sides of the body 101 in a width direction. Each of the first solder joints 11 stretches outward from a first side of the body 101. Each of the second solder joints 12 stretches outward from a second side of the body 101. A shape of each first solder joint 11 is different from a shape of each second solder joint 12. Center lines of at least one set of the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101.

(11) In the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells according to the embodiments of this application, since the plurality of first solder joints 11 and the plurality of second solder joints 12 respectively located on two sides of the body 101 are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101, and/or the first solder joints 11 and the second solder joints 12 have different shapes. Therefore, expansion stress may be more effectively absorbed by means of deformation of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells, thereby minimizing the damage of the stress to the solar cells.

(12) It may be understood that the ribbon 10 absorbs stresses in a length direction, the width direction, and a thickness direction by means of deformation.

(13) Specifically, in the case of the deformation of the ribbon 10, a position closer to the first solder joint 11 or the second solder joint 12 is subjected to a larger stress on a line segment formed by connecting the first solder joint 11 to the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other.

(14) It may be understood that different shapes or staggered center lines of the solder joints on the two sides may cause the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells to be asymmetrical.

(15) It may be understood that the solder joints on the two sides of the body 101 are staggered from each other, so that the body 101 between the solder joints is longer to absorb a stress deformation quantity, thereby absorbing tensile deformation and twist deformation more effectively.

(16) It may be understood that the term that “a shape of each first solder joint 11 is different from a shape of each second solder joint 12, and/or center lines of at least one set of the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101” includes following three situations. The shape of the first solder joint 11 is different from the shape of the second solder joint 12, and the center lines of at least one set of the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101. The shape of the first solder joint 11 is different from the shape of the second solder joint 12, and the center lines of all of the first solder joints 11 and the second solder joints 12 adjacent to each other coincide in the width direction of the body 101. The shape of the first solder joint 11 is same as the shape of the second solder joint 12, and the center lines of at least one set of the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101. The last situation is used as an example for explanation and description herein, but this does not constitute a limitation on the above situations.

(17) It may be understood that the term that “center lines of at least one set of the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101” may mean that the center lines of a set of the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101, or may mean that the center lines of a plurality of sets of the first solder joints 11 and the second solder joints 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101, and the rest center lines of the first solder joints 11 and the second solder joints 12 adjacent to each other coincide in the width direction of the body 101, or may mean that the center lines of all of the first solder joints 11 and the second solder joints 12 adjacent to each other are staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101. The last situation is used as an example for explanation and description herein, but this does not constitute a limitation on the above situations.

(18) It may be understood that the term of “being staggered from each other in the width direction of the body 101” means not overlapping in the width direction.

(19) It may be understood that a center line 111 of the first solder joint is a line that passes through a center of the first solder joint 11 and is parallel to the width direction. A center line 121 of the second solder joint 12 is a line that passes through a center of the second solder joint 12 and is parallel to the width direction.

(20) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, an included angle γ of 20° to 60° is formed between a line connecting each first solder joint 11 to each second solder joint 12 closest to the first solder joint 11 and a length direction of the ribbon 10. Therefore, the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 are staggered from each other by an appropriate degree, which facilitates more effective absorption of the expansion stress by means of the deformation of the ribbon 10, thereby minimizing the damage of the stress to the cells.

(21) Specifically, the included angle γ is, for example, 21°, 23°, 30°, 32°, 35°, 39°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, or 60°.

(22) Further, 20°<γ<40°. The included angle is, for example, 21°, 23°, 30°, 32°, 35°, or 39°.

(23) Preferably, γ is 23°. In this way, the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint can be staggered from each other by the most appropriate degree.

(24) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, a thickness of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.3 mm. For example, the thickness is 0.1 mm, 0.12 mm, 0.14 mm, 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.21 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.27 mm, or 0.3 mm. Therefore, the thickness of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells is in an appropriate range, so as to avoid a poor expansion stress absorbing effect of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells or a poor mechanical strength of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells due to an excessively small thickness, and avoid relatively high costs of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells due to the excessively large thickness of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells.

(25) Preferably, the thickness of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells is 0.14 mm. In this way, the expansion stress absorbing effect, the mechanical strength, and the costs of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells can be all taken into consideration, thereby achieving an optimal overall effect.

(26) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells includes a copper substrate and a tin layer coated on the copper substrate. In this way, the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells has better conductivity, so as to achieve a desirable effect of electrically connecting the solar cells.

(27) Specifically, a hardness of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells ranges from 40 HV to 60 HV. For example, the hardness is 40 HV, 42 HV, 45 HV, 48 HV, 50 HV, 53 HV, 55 HV, 59 HV, or 60 HV. In this way, the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells has a desirable mechanical strength.

(28) Specifically, uniformity of the tin layer is ±10%. For example, the uniformity is −10%, −8%, −5%, −2%, 0%, 1%, 5%, 7%, or 10%. In this way, the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells has desirable conductivity.

(29) Specifically, a thickness of the tin layer ranges from 6 μm to 10 μm. For example, the thickness is 6 μm, 6.2 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, or 10 μm.

(30) In other embodiments, the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells may alternatively include an aluminum substrate and a tin layer coated on the aluminum substrate. Alternatively, the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells is an aluminum strip. Alternatively, the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells is a tin strip.

(31) Optionally, an elongation of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells is greater than or equal to 25%. For example, the elongation is 25%, 27%, 30%, or 35%.

(32) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, the body 101 is in a rectangular shape. In this way, the body 101 has a relatively regular shape and is convenient to manufacture.

(33) Referring to FIG. 3, optionally, the body 101 is in a bent shape. The first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 are disposed at bent corners. In this way, the stress on the solar cells can be reduced by using the body 101 in the bent shape, thereby reducing the damage to the solar cells. In addition, the bent corners may also assist in positioning the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12, thereby enhancing the manufacturing efficiency. Further, the bent corners are obtuse angles. In this way, an angle of each bent corner is relatively large, so as to further reduce the stress on the solar cells. Further, the each bent corner is provided with one first solder joint 11 or one second solder joint 12.

(34) It may be understood that, in other embodiments, the body 101 may be alternately in the rectangular shape and the bent shape, or may be in other shapes. In other embodiments, the bent corner may be an acute angle, a right angle, or an arcuate angle, or may be at least two of the acute angle, the right angle, the obtuse angle, or the arcuate angle. In other embodiments, some of the bent corners may be provided with the first solder joint 11 or the second solder joint 12, and the remaining bent corners may not be provided with the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12.

(35) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, a width w0 of the body 101 ranges from 2.3 mm to 6 mm. For example, the width is 2.3 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm, 3.35 mm, 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.6 mm, 5 mm, 5.8 mm, or 6 mm. In this way, the width w0 of the body 101 is in an appropriate range, so as to avoid a poor expansion stress absorbing effect of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells or the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells incapable of being connected to the solar cells due to an excessively small width w0 of the body 101, and avoid relatively high costs of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells due to the excessively large width w0 of the body 101. A tolerance of the width w0 of the body 101 may be ±0.1 mm.

(36) Preferably, the width w0 of the body 101 is 3.35 mm. In this way, the expansion stress absorbing effect, connection to the solar cells, and the costs of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells can be all taken into consideration, thereby achieving an optimal overall effect.

(37) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, a length L0 of the body 101 ranges from 170 mm to 220 mm. For example, the length is 170 mm, 176 mm, 180 mm, 182 mm, 210 mm, 218 mm, or 220 mm. A tolerance of the length L0 of the body 101 may be ±0.1 mm.

(38) Preferably, the length L0 of the body 101 is 176 mm.

(39) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, each first solder joint 11 stretches outward from a first side of the body 101 in the width direction of the body 101. Each second solder joint 12 stretches outward from the second side of the body 101 in the width direction of the body 101. In this way, the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 are regularly disposed, which is convenient for manufacturing.

(40) It may be understood that, in other embodiments, a direction in which each first solder joint 11 stretches outward from the side of the body 101 may be at an acute angle or an obtuse angle to the width direction of the body 101. Some of the first solder joints 11 stretch outward from the side of the body 101 in the width direction of the body 101, and a direction in which the remaining first solder joints 11 stretch outward from the side of the body 101 is at an acute angle or an obtuse angle to the width direction of the body 101. A direction in which each second solder joint 12 stretches outward from the side of the body 101 may be at an acute angle or an obtuse angle to the width direction of the body 101. Some of the second solder joints 12 stretch outward from the side of the body 101 in the width direction of the body 101, and a direction in which the remaining second solder joints 12 stretch outward from the side of the body 101 is at an acute angle or an obtuse angle to the width direction of the body 101. Specifically, in a case that the direction in which the plurality of first solder joints 11 stretch outward is at an acute angle or an obtuse angle to the width direction of the body 101, corresponding angles formed by the plurality of first solder joints 11 may be the same or different. In a case that the direction in which the plurality of second solder joints 12 stretch outward is at an acute angle or an obtuse angle to the width direction of the body 101, corresponding angles formed by the plurality of second solder joints 12 may be the same or different.

(41) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, the plurality of first solder joints 11 are equidistantly arranged on a first side of the body 101 in a length direction of the body 101. Optionally, the plurality of second solder joints 12 are equidistantly arranged on the second side of the body 101 in the length direction of the body 101. In this way, the body 101 between the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 on each segment has the same capacity for absorbing the expansion stress, which is beneficial to further minimize the damage to the solar cells. In addition, the arrangement of the solder joints is relatively regular, which is convenient for manufacturing and can ensure that the center lines of adjacent solder joints are staggered from each other.

(42) In other embodiments, a spacing between two adjacent first solder joints 11 may be different. Spacings between some of the two adjacent first solder joints 11 may be the same, and spacings between the remaining two adjacent first solder joints 11 may be different. Similarly, a spacing between two adjacent second solder joints 12 may be different. Spacings between some of the two adjacent second solder joints 12 may be the same, and spacings between the remaining two adjacent second solder joints 12 may be different. The specific arrangement mode of the solder joints is not limited herein.

(43) Referring to FIG. 2, optionally, a spacing S0 between the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other in the width direction of the body 101 ranges from 5 mm to 15 mm. For example, the spacing is 5 mm, 5.5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 11.375 mm, 13 mm, or 15 mm. In this way, S0 may be in an appropriate range, so as to avoid poor deformability and the poor expansion stress absorbing effect caused by an excessive large or excessive small S0, which is beneficial to minimize the damage of the stress to the solar cells. A tolerance of the spacing S0 may be ±0.02.

(44) Preferably, the spacing S0 between the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 adjacent to each other in the width direction of the body 101 is 11.375 mm. In this way, an optimal effect of reducing the damage of the stress to the solar cells can be achieved.

(45) Optionally, the first solder joint 11 is in a rectangular shape, a rounded rectangular shape, a circular shape, a semicircular shape, or a trapezoid shape. Optionally, the second solder joint 12 is in a rectangular shape, a rounded rectangular shape, a circular shape, a semicircular shape, or a trapezoid shape.

(46) Specifically, in an example of FIG. 2, the plurality of first solder joints 11 and the plurality of second solder joints 12 are all in the rounded rectangular shape. Further, a radius of a chamfer ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm. For example, the radius is 0.2 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.28 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.31 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.39 mm, or 0.4 mm. Preferably, the radius of the chamfer is 0.3 mm.

(47) It may be understood that, in other examples, the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 may also have different shapes. Some of the first solder joints 11 may have the same shape, but have different shapes from the remaining first solder joints 11, or all of the first solder joints 11 may have different shapes. Some of the second solder joints 12 may have the same shape, but have different shapes from the remaining second solder joints 12, or all of the second solder joints 12 may have different shapes.

(48) Optionally, a length of the first solder joint 11 stretching from the body 101 ranges from 1.5 mm to 1.7 mm. For example, the length is 1.5 mm, 1.52 mm, 1.55 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.63 mm, 1.65 mm, 1.68 mm, or 1.7 mm. A tolerance of the length of the first solder joint 11 stretching from the body 101 is ±0.05. Preferably, the length of the first solder joint 11 stretching from the body 101 is 1.6 mm.

(49) Optionally, a width of the first solder joint 11 ranges from 2.4 mm to 2.6 mm. For example, the width is 2.4 mm, 2.42 mm, 2.45 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.53 mm, 2.55 mm, 2.58 mm, or 2.6 mm. A tolerance of the width of the first solder joint 11 is ±0.05. Preferably, the width of the first solder joint 11 is 2.5 mm.

(50) Optionally, a length of the second solder joint 12 stretching from the body 101 ranges from 0.8 mm to 1.1 mm. For example, the length is 0.8 mm, 0.82 mm, 0.85 mm, 0.9 mm, 0.95 mm, 1 mm, 1.05 mm, or 1.1 mm. A tolerance of the length of the first solder joint 11 stretching from the body 101 is ±0.05. Preferably, the length of the first solder joint 11 stretching from the body 101 is 0.95 mm.

(51) Optionally, a width of the second solder joint 12 ranges from 2.4 mm to 2.6 mm. For example, the width is 2.4 mm, 2.42 mm, 2.45 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.53 mm, 2.55 mm, 2.58 mm, or 2.6 mm. A tolerance of the width of the second solder joint 12 is ±0.05. Preferably, the width of the first solder joint 11 is 2.5 mm.

(52) Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, optionally, the body 101 comprises a plurality of slits 13. An end of each of the slits 13 forms an opening on the body 101. In this way, since the body 101 is provided with the slits 13 and the end of the each slit 13 forms the opening on the body 101, the deformation of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells may be absorbed by the slits 13, so as to minimize the damage of the stress to the solar cells.

(53) It may be understood that, when the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells is subjected to the stress, the slits 13 are contracted or expanded, so that the expansion stress can be more effectively absorbed by means of the deformation of the slits 13.

(54) It may be understood that, the slit 13 is long and narrow, one end and another end of the slit 13 are two ends of the slit 13 in a length direction.

(55) Specifically, in the examples of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the slit 13 is in a rectangular shape. In this way, the slit 13 has a relatively regular form and is convenient to manufacture. It may be understood that, in other examples, the slit 13 may also be in an oval shape, a runway shape, or other irregular shapes.

(56) Further, in a case that the slit 13 is in the rectangular shape and the length direction of the slit 13 coincides with the width direction of the body 101, a length of the slit 13 is a dimension of the slit 13 in the width direction of the body 101. A width of the slit 13 is a dimension of the slit 13 in the length direction of the body 101.

(57) Specifically, in the examples of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a plurality of slits 13 are provided. Therefore, the capacity of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells for absorbing the expansion stress becomes stronger by using the plurality of slits 13, thereby further reducing the damage of the stress to the solar cells. It may be understood that, in other embodiments, a quantity of the slits 13 may be one.

(58) Specifically, in the examples of FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, openings of the slits 13 are formed on two sides of the body 101 in the width direction. In this way, a deformation range of the body 101 may be expanded by means of the deformation of the slits 13 on the two sides in the width direction, so that the capacity of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells for absorbing the expansion stress becomes stronger, thereby further reducing the damage of the stress to the solar cells. It may be understood that, in other embodiments, the opening of the slit 13 may also be formed on only a first side of the body 101 in the width direction, or may be formed on one side or two sides of the body 101 in the length direction.

(59) Referring to FIG. 4, optionally, each first solder joint 11 corresponds to a set of slits 13. A slit in the set of slits 13 at a larger distance from the corresponding first solder joint 11 in a length direction is at a larger distance from the corresponding first solder joint 11 in the width direction. Optionally, each second solder joint 12 corresponds to a set of slits 13. A slit in the set of slits 13 at a larger distance from the corresponding second solder joint 12 in a length direction is at a larger distance from the corresponding second solder joint 12 in the width direction. In this way, a current can be more effectively transmitted by the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells, and the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells has a better effect of absorbing the stress.

In this way, the symmetrical arrangement of the set of slits 13 is convenient for manufacturing, and the expansion stress can be more effectively absorbed by means of the deformation of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells.

(64) It is to be noted that the center line of the slit 13 is a line that passes through a center of the slit 13 and is parallel to the width direction.

(65) Further, the center line of the middle slit 13 coincides with the center line 111 of the corresponding first solder joint. In this way, the middle slit 13 is conveniently positioned according to the first solder joint 11, or the first solder joint 11 is conveniently positioned according to the middle slit 13, thereby facilitating enhancement of the production efficiency.

(66) Similarly, in a case that the quantity of the slits 13 in the set of slits 13 corresponding to the second solder joint 12 is an odd number, the set of slits 13 are symmetrical about the center line of the middle slit 13.

The first slit 131 is located in the middle of the set of slits 13. The second slit 132 and the third slit 133 are respectively located on two sides of the first slit 131. The fourth slit 134 is located on a side of the second slit 132 facing away from the first slit 131. The fifth slit 135 is located on a side of the third slit 133 facing away from the first slit 131. Lengths of the set of slits 13 satisfy the following relationship:

(77) L1 is a length of the first slit 131, L2 is a length of the second slit 132, L3 is a length of the third slit 133, L4 is a length of the fourth slit 134, and L5 is a length of the fifth slit 135.

(78) In this way, a slit in the five slits 13 at a larger distance from the corresponding solder joints in the length direction is at a larger distance from the corresponding solder joints in the width direction. In addition, the lengths of the five slits 13 are symmetrical about the first slit 131 in the middle, so that the expansion stress can be more effectively absorbed by means of the deformation of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells.

An area of the first solder joint 11 is greater than or equal to an area of the second solder joint 12. Alternatively, the first solder joint 11 is connected to a negative electrode of the first cell. The second solder joint 12 is connected to a positive electrode of the second cell. The area of the second solder joint is greater than or equal to the area of the first solder joint.

(100) It may be understood that, since a current of the positive electrode is larger than that of the negative electrode, the width of the connecting portion corresponding to the positive electrode may be larger, so that a structure of the ribbon can better match the current of the cell.

(101) Specifically, the area of the first solder joint 11 is greater than or equal to the area of the second solder joint 12. The first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 may have the same width, and the length of the first solder joint 11 is greater than the length of the second solder joint 12. Alternatively, the first solder joint 11 and the second solder joint 12 may have the same length, and the width of the first solder joint 11 is greater than the width of the second solder joint 12.

(104) Referring to FIG. 6, optionally, a width w1 of the slit 13 ranges from 0.2 mm to 0.6 mm. For example, the width is 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, or 0.6 mm. In this way, the width w1 of the slit 13 is in an appropriate range, so as to avoid poor deformability of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells due to an excessively small width w1 of the slit 13, and avoid a relatively poor strength of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells due to the excessively large width w1 of the slit 13. A tolerance of the width w1 of the slit 13 may be ±0.05.

(105) Preferably, the width w1 of the slit 13 is 0.4 mm. In this way, the deformability and the mechanical strength of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells can be all taken into consideration, thereby achieving an optimal overall effect.

For example, the spacing is 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.9 mm, 3 mm, 3.5 mm, or 4 mm. In this way, the spacing between the two adjacent slits 13 is in an appropriate range, so as to avoid a relatively poor mechanical strength of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells due to an excessively small spacing between the two adjacent slits 13, and avoid relatively poor deformability of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells due to the excessively large spacing between the two adjacent slits 13.

In addition, the slits 13 are in communication with the vias 14, thereby achieving a better effect of absorbing the deformation of the ribbon 10.

In this way, the effect of absorbing the deformation of the ribbon 10 through the via 14 can be better, and the damage of the stress to the cells can be further minimized.

(133) Specifically, in an example of FIG. 8, in the vias 14 corresponding to the set of slits 13, the vias 14 corresponding to the second slit 132 and the third slit 133 are in the oval shape, the length of the short axis is the width of the gap between the first cell and the second cell, and the long axis coincides with the center line 1001 of the body 101. In this way, the deformation of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells is absorbed at other positions of the body 101 through the vias 14 corresponding to the first slit 131, the fourth slit 134, and the fifth slit 135, thereby achieving a better effect of absorbing deformation.

(134) It may be understood that, in other examples, all of the vias 14 corresponding to the set of slits 13 may be in the oval shape, the lengths of the short axes are all the width of the gap between the first cell and the second cell, and the long axes coincide with the center line 1001 of the body 101.

(135) It may be understood that, in other examples, the via 14 may be not only in the oval shape, but also in a circular shape, a semicircular shape, a rhombus shape, or other shapes. The shapes of the plurality of vias 14 may be the same or different, which are not limited herein.

(136) Optionally, two adjacent vias 14 in a set of the vias 14 corresponding to each first solder joint 11 are staggered from each other in the length direction. In this way, the current can be more effectively transmitted, so as to more effectively absorb the deformation of the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells.

(137) It may be understood that, in other embodiments, the two adjacent vias 14 in the set of the vias 14 corresponding to each first solder joint 11 may partially or completely overlap in the length direction.

(138) Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, optionally, each first solder joint 11 corresponds to the set of vias 14. An increase in distances between each of the vias and the corresponding first solder joint 11 in the length direction leads to a decrease in the long axes and the short axes of the set of the vias 14. Optionally, each second solder joint 12 corresponds to the set of the vias 14. An increase in distances between each of the vias and the corresponding second solder joint 12 in the length direction leads to a decrease in the long axes and the short axes of the set of the vias 14. In this way, a current can be more effectively transmitted by the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells, and the special-figure design ribbon 10 for connecting back contact cells has a better effect of absorbing the stress.

(139) It may be understood that, in other embodiments, each first solder joint 11 may correspond to the set of vias 14. An increase in distances between each of the vias and the corresponding first solder joint 11 in the length direction leads to an increase in the long axes and the short axes of the set of vias 14. In other embodiments, each second solder joint 12 may correspond to the set of vias 14. An increase in distances between each of the vias and the corresponding second solder joint 12 in the length direction leads to an increase in the long axes and the short axes of the set of vias 14.

(140) Referring to FIG. 8, optionally, distances between two adjacent slits 13 in the set of slits 13 are the same.

(141) It may be understood that, the distances between the two adjacent slits 13 in the set of slits 13 may be different, or may be partially the same, and partially different.

(142) It will be obvious to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made, and therefore, the aim in the appended claims is to cover all such changes and modifications.
