The process of encapsulating solar cells on curved surfaces is one of the most challenging subjects today and has been widely studied. In most studies, thin‐film and flexible cells have been chosen for curved surfaces. In this article, a new method is proposed to carry out the process of encapsulating a solar cell on the curved surfaces using inflexible silicon solar cell. In this method, transparent epoxy resin is injected into the solar cell area using an embedded mold. Once the resin is cured and the mold is removed, the obtained surface forms the desired curved shape. This method can be used for fixed curved surfaces that are not exposed to tension. The method was performed on a sectional sample of a wind turbine blade which resulted in a curved and transparent layer on the cells. Then the section was tested under the environmental condition and exposed to direct sunlight. The results showed a normal performance of the cell with high efficiency and a maximum error rate of 8% compared to the laboratory report of the manufacturer. Voltage and current of the cell were normal in this experiment. The I–V curve diagram showed the standard behavior of cells as well. The maximum power output from the section was 1.308 W. Results showed that this method is suitable for solid curved surfaces to be used as a photovoltaic module.

弯曲表面上的非柔性硅太​​阳能电池封装工艺：实验研究

在弯曲表面上封装太阳能电池的过程是当今最具挑战性的主题之一，并且已经得到了广泛的研究。在大多数研究中，薄膜和柔性电池已选择用于弯曲表面。在本文中，提出了一种新方法来执行使用非柔性硅太​​阳能电池将太阳能电池封装在弯曲表面上的过程。在这种方法中，使用嵌入式模具将透明环氧树脂注入太阳能电池区域。树脂固化并移开模具后，获得的表面将形成所需的弯曲形状。此方法可用于不承受张力的固定曲面。该方法是在风力涡轮机叶片的截面样品上执行的，该样品在电池上产生了弯曲且透明的层。然后，在环境条件下对切片进行测试，并将其暴露在直射的阳光下。结果表明，与制造商的实验室报告相比，该电池具有正常的性能，效率高，最大错误率达8％。在该实验中，电池的电压和电流是正常的。这I – V曲线图也显示了细胞的标准行为。该部分的最大输出功率为1.308W。结果表明，该方法适用于用作光伏模块的实心曲面。
