The material of the second substrate is more infinite, and may be glass, gold, or a plastic substrate. As the second substrate, a flexible substrate can be used. Since the solar module is a flat panel and the glass material of the first substrate is not flexible, the solar module cannot be bent at will, and the installation location of the solar module is limited, generally only in a planar manner. Location installation, such as a flat building facade or roof. However, in recent years, the application of solar modules has become more and more extensive, so it has been gradually developed and applied to various objects, but not all surfaces of objects to be mounted are flat. For example, some car roofs will be equipped with solar modules, so that Solar energy is converted into electric energy and supplied to the electronic products inside the car. The roof design of the general car is not flat. When installing the flat solar module on a non-planar roof, it is not only difficult to install. 201029199 is higher, and the solar module can't fit along the roof arc, which will also damage the aesthetics of the car body.

In the first step, the step (C) can adopt a single-stage heating method, and when the substrate is made of different materials, there are different softening temperatures, so the heating temperature suitable for the step (C) is 30 to 20 (rc. Two temperatures may be employed to preheat and maintain the second temperature greater than the first stage heating, the first stage is first heated to a first few minutes, the second stage is heated to a second temperature, the temperature is allowed to soften the first substrate The first temperature of the embodiment of the present invention is 9 (TC 'the second temperature is 12 (rc, but the present invention does not use the above temperature control' as long as the second temperature is greater than the first temperature.

(3) Step 63: Since the second substrate 13 is a flexible substrate, it can be bent originally, and the first substrate 12 is thermally deformable, so that the heating step makes the first substrate 12 softenable. State 'can only use this solar module! Forming and fitting along the surface curvature of the object to be mounted 2 '& steps include the following sub-steps: (31) First, take the electric heating sheet 4 made of Shixi glue, and connect the electric heating sheet 4 A power supply not shown in Fig. # ^ ^ is supplied by electric power, and the current is input to the heating sheet 4 through the power supply, so that the electric power meter 4 ♦, Tian Temple..., the degree of the month 4 is raised to a first temperature. And maintaining for 5 minutes, the first _, the field currency / dish degree of this embodiment is 90 C, this step is used to preheat the heating sheet 4. 201029199 (3_2) The heating sheet 4 preheated to 90 ° C is covered on the surface of the first substrate 12, and the surface of the heating sheet 4 is covered with a sheet pressing sheet 5, and the pressing sheet 5 of the present embodiment is a stone. The heat-resistant and soft material made of Xixi has a heat-resistant temperature of about 150 cm and a thickness of about 2 cm. In this step, the thermal energy of the heating sheet 4 is transmitted to the solar module 1 and the hot melt adhesive layer 3, so that the first substrate 12 of the solar module 1 and the hot melt adhesive layer 3 are initially heated and softened. In addition, when the weight of the pressing piece 5 is applied to the solar module 丨, when the solar module 1 is heated and shaped, it can be pressed by the weight to conform to the surface curvature of the object 2 to be mounted, and the mold is avoided. The group has warpage during the shaping process. (3-3) The current flow rate of the power supply is raised so that the temperature of the heater chip 4 is raised to a second temperature for 2 minutes, and the second temperature of the embodiment is 120 °C. In this step, the first substrate 12 of the solar module i and the hot melt adhesive layer 3 are all heated and fully softened. At this time, the weight of the upper pressing piece 5 is pressed down, and the solar module i is smoothed. The surface curvature of the object to be mounted 2 is attached to it. ❹ (4) proceed to step 64. After the solar module 1 is in close contact with the object to be mounted 2, turn off the power of the power supply, and let the solar module j stand for 10 minutes to wait for the cooling, the heat After the molten layer 3 is cooled and solidified, the solar module 1 is fixedly bonded to the surface of the object to be mounted 2, and the first substrate 12 is cooled and solidified and has been shaped into an arc shape. (5) Step 65: confirm that the temperature of the solar module i is lower than 9 ° C, and then remove the heating sheet 4 and the pressing sheet 5, so that the solar module 1 is installed and finished 'final re-inspection Whether the module is fitted or not is defective. 7 201029199 * It should be noted that the heating step of this embodiment is divided into two stages, first heating to the first temperature 9 (rc is preheated and maintained for several minutes, and then heated to the second temperature 12 (TC, but the invention In the implementation, it can also be a single-stage heating method, that is, directly heating the heating sheet 4 to 12 〇. (: When the pressure piece 5 is covered, or the heating sheet 4 and the pressure piece 5 are sequentially covered, In addition, the manner in which the heating step is performed is not limited to the embodiment. For example, an infrared heating lamp may directly illuminate the solar module 1 ′ to raise the temperature of the module to reach the first substrate 12 . In addition, the hot air can also be blown toward the solar module 1 by hot air not shown in the figure, so that the heating effect can also be achieved. In summary, the present invention is made of the first substrate 12 from epoxy. The resin material is made to soften and deform under the action of a suitable temperature. Therefore, after the solar module 1 is placed on the surface of the object to be mounted 2, the solar module 1 is heated to make the solar module 1 Waiting The surface curvature of the package 2 is mounted in a snug manner, and the installation method of the present invention is applied to make the installation location of the solar module 1 unrestricted, and the breaking tradition can only be limited to the absence of the planar object, so the present invention can be applied. The installation site is more extensive and does achieve the object of the present invention.
