Definitions
- the present invention relates to a white polyester film for a solar cell that has high whiteness, good light reflectivity, light resistance, and hydrolysis resistance, and has excellent properties (transfer mark concealment) that makes transferred unevenness difficult to see.
- the present invention relates to a solar cell back surface sealing sheet and a solar cell module.
- a constituent member such as a back surface sealing sheet for sealing the back surface is used for the solar cell module, and a base film is used for these constituent members. Since solar cells are used outdoors for a long period of time, durability (light resistance, hydrolysis resistance, etc.) to the natural environment is required for these components and the base films used for these components.
- a fluorine-based film, a polyethylene-based film, or a polyester-based film to which a white pigment is added has been used for the purpose of improving UV resistance and concealment (patent) References 1-10).
- Patent Document 10 is disclosed by the applicant of the present application, and has a high whiteness and good light reflectivity while having excellent environmental durability represented by light resistance and hydrolysis resistance.
- a white polyester film for a battery a film having a multilayer structure in which a layer containing inorganic fine particles containing 10 to 35% by mass of inorganic fine particles is disposed as at least one outermost layer is disclosed.
- the inorganic fine particles it is described that titanium dioxide or barium sulfate, which is a white pigment, is preferable from the viewpoint of improving whiteness and productivity, and examples in which titanium dioxide is used alone are described in the examples. Yes.
- Patent Documents 11 and 12 disclose a white polyester film that is suitably used for a reflection plate for a liquid crystal display and the like and excellent in luminance characteristics and the like.
- Patent Document 11 has a skin layer (B) on at least one surface of a polyester layer (A) containing bubbles, and 5-30% of inorganic particles (c) having a predetermined apparent density are formed on the skin layer (B).
- a white polyester film containing is disclosed.
- the polyester layer (A) containing bubbles is necessary in terms of optical characteristics such as luminance and reflectance.
- the amount of the inorganic particles (c) is necessary for controlling the central surface average roughness (Ra) and ten-point average roughness (Rz) of the polyester (A) side surface to provide irregularities on the film surface. It is described that the glossiness of the film can be lowered and luminance unevenness can be reduced.
- Patent Document 12 includes at least an A layer and a B layer made of polyester, the B layer has bubbles, and the A layer has three types of inorganic materials: rutile titanium oxide, barium sulfate, and silicon dioxide.
- a white film containing particles is disclosed.
- the B layer is whitened by containing fine bubbles inside the film, and the formation of fine bubbles is caused by, for example, a polymer incompatible with polyester or a polymer incompatible with polyester in polyester.
- the A layer by using the above-mentioned three kinds of inorganic particles in combination, it is possible to simultaneously satisfy the UV resistance, the reduction in luminance unevenness, the high reflectance, the scratch on the light guide plate, and the suppression of the occurrence of uneven contact screen.
- barium sulfate is incompatible with polyester, it is described that many fine bubbles can exist even in the A layer.

本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムに使用されるポリエステル樹脂とは、テレフタル酸、イソフタル酸、ナフタレンジカルボン酸のごとき芳香族ジカルボン酸またはそのエステルと、エチレングリコール、ブチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、1,4-ブタンジオール、ネオペンチルグリコールのごときグリコールとを重縮合させて製造されるものであり、ホモポリマーであってもよく、第三成分を共重合したコポリマーであってもよい。
本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムは、一方の最外層(太陽光に直接接する側であって、且つ、充填剤層と反対側)に、無機微粒子を10~38質量%含有したポリエステル樹脂層(無機微粒子集中含有層)を有する。無機粒子集中含有層における無機微粒子の含有量は、10質量%以上35質量%以下が好ましく、11質量%以上30質量%以下がより好ましく、12質量%以上23質量%以下が更に好ましい。10質量%未満の場合、十分な白色度、転写痕隠蔽性が発現せず、38質量%を超える場合は凝集による異物の発生やフィルム品質、フィルム表面強度を低下させる懸念があるため好ましくない。
本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムでは、上記無機微粒子集中含有層が少なくとも一方の最外層に配置される。このように太陽光に直接接する側の最外層に無機粒子を多く含む層を配置することにより、例えば上記フィルムをバックシートに用いたとき、フィルム自体、並びにバックシートを構成する内層の部材フィルム、シート及び接着層の紫外線などによる耐光性の劣化を効率的に防止できる。
本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムは、前述したように上記無機微粒子集中含有層を最外層として含む2層以上の積層構成を有しており、上記無機微粒子集中含有層以外の層として、無機微粒子含有量の少ない他の層を含む。この他の層における無機微粒子の含有量は、上記無機微粒子集中含有層における無機微粒子の含有量より少なければよく、無機微粒子集中含有層における無機微粒子の含有量との差が10質量%以上であることが好ましい。具体的には、上記「無機微粒子含有量が少ない他の層」は、0.5質量%以上2質量%以下の無機微粒子を含有していることが好ましい。より好ましくは0.8質量%以上1.8質量%以下である。このように他の層に無機微粒子を少量含有させることによって、耐光性をより向上させることが可能となる。
本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムは上記の層構成を有するが、易接着性、絶縁性、耐擦傷性などの各種機能が要求される場合、その表面がコーティングなどにより高分子樹脂の被覆層で被覆されてもよい。また、易滑性が要求される場合、上記被覆層に無機粒子および/または有機粒子が含まれてもよい。
本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムの製造方法は、特に制限されるものではないが、各層形成用のポリエステルチップを別々の押出機に供給した後、溶融状態で積層して同一のダイから押し出す共押出法が好ましい。例えば、無機微粒子集中含有層を含む2層構成のフィルムを製造する場合、無機微粒子を多く含んだポリエステルチップ(無機微粒子集中含有層用樹脂チップ)と、これより無機微粒子の含有量が少ないポリエステルチップ(他の層用樹脂チップ)を別々の押出機に供給した後、溶融状態で積層して同一のダイから押し出せばよい。
本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムの白色度は50以上であり、好ましくは60以上である。白色度が50未満では、隠蔽性が劣ったり、太陽電池モジュール加工時に目視でのフィルム確認が困難となり、加工効率が低下するおそれがある。
本発明の太陽電池用白色ポリエステルフィルムは、太陽電池裏面封止シートやフレキシブルな電子部材の貼合材の基材フィルム(ベースフィルム)として用いることができる。特に、本発明のフィルムは、高い環境耐久性が求められる太陽電池裏面封止シートのベースフィルムとして好適である。
本発明でいう太陽電池モジュールとは、太陽光、室内光などの入射光を取り込んで電気に変換するシステムをいい、上記太陽電池裏面封止シートと、太陽電池裏面封止シートに隣接する充填剤層と、充填剤層に埋設された太陽電池素子を備えることを特徴とする。
