Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for Standardization Work Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules for Standardization Documents" drafting.
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements, test methods, inspection rules, packaging, transportation and storage of solar cells used in space.
This document applies to unpackaged monocrystalline silicon solar cells, rigid substrate gallium arsenide solar cells and flexible substrate gallium arsenide solar cells for space Battery.
2 Normative references
The contents of the following documents constitute the essential provisions of this document through normative references in the text. Among them, dated references For documents, only the version corresponding to the date is applicable to this document; for undated reference documents, the latest version (including all amendments) is applicable to this document.
GB/T 2296 Solar cell model nomenclature
GB/T 2297 Solar Photovoltaic Energy System Terminology
GB/T 6494 Test method for electrical performance of aerospace solar cells
GB/T 6496 Calibration method of solar cells for aerospace
3 Terms and Definitions
The following terms and definitions defined in GB/T 2297 apply to this document.
3.1 Chip
Partial loss of cell body material along the edges or corners of the solar cell, but not through the full thickness of the cell.
3.2 Nick nicks
The solar cell is partially missing along the edge or corner of the cell body material, which has penetrated the entire thickness of the cell.
3.3 Blank voids
Any blank spot with a diameter greater than 0.13mm and no coating material (such as electrode metal layer or anti-reflection film).
3.4 Electrode metal contact
The surface of the solar cell forms an ohmic contact and acts as a conductor that collects photogenerated carriers and draws out current.
Note: The electrodes of solar cells are divided into positive and negative electrodes. The light-receiving surface electrode is usually called the upper electrode, and the non-light-receiving surface electrode is called the lower electrode.
3.5 Package cover
The upper surface of the single solar cell is covered with a light-transmitting material for protection.
Note: Monocrystalline silicon solar cells and gallium arsenide solar cells on rigid substrates are generally packaged with glass cover sheets. Flexible substrate Gallium arsenide solar cells generally use flexible Encapsulate with light-transmitting material or glass cover.
