Method For Guiding Contact Strips on Solar Modules and a Solar Module

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for guiding contact strips on solar modules which comprise a laminate of a glass plate facing towards the light and a glass plate facing away from the light, and a laminated solar module produced by the method, the photovoltaically active layer of which between the glass plates is connected to contact strips in an electrically conducting manner. It is proposed that the contact strips are led out from the upper side of the glass plate facing away from the light around the edges of this glass plate, are covered with a laminating medium to the underside of this glass plate and with an insulating film to at least over the upper edge of this glass plate and are held in this position for laminating the two glass plates. In the case of a corresponding solar module, the contact strips ( 5 ) are led from the upper side of the glass plate ( 2 ) that is facing away from the light around the edges of this glass plate ( 2 ) and covered with a laminating medium ( 3 ) to the underside of this glass plate ( 2 ) and with an insulating film ( 4 ) to at least over the upper edge of this glass plate ( 2 ).

1 . A method for arranging contact strips in solar modules, comprising a laminate of a pane of glass facing the light and a pane of glass facing away from the light, characterized in that
 the contact strips are wrapped around the edges of the pane of glass from the top side of the pane of glass facing away from the light,   are covered with a lamination medium as far as the bottom side of this pane of glass and are covered with an insulation film up to at least beyond the upper edge of this pane of glass,   and are held in this position for lamination of the two panes of glass.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the insulation film is wrapped up to the top side of the pane of glass facing the light. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the insulation film is wrapped up to the top side of the pane of glass facing away from the light. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the insulation film is wrapped up to the upper edge of the pane of glass facing the light. 
     
     
         5 . A solar module comprising a laminate of a pane of glass facing the light and a pane of glass facing away from the light, its photovoltaically active layer being bonded in an electrically conducting manner to contact strips between the panes of glass, characterized in that the contact strips are wrapped from the top side of the pane of glass facing away from the light around the edges of this pane of glass and are covered with a lamination medium as far as the bottom side of this pane of glass and are covered with an insulation film up to at least beyond the upper edge of this pane of glass. 
     
     
         6 . The solar module according to  claim 5 , wherein the insulation film is wrapped as far as the top side of the pane of glass facing the light. 
     
     
         7 . The solar module according to  claim 5 , wherein the insulation film is wrapped to the top side of the pane of glass facing away from the light. 
     
     
         8 . The solar module according to  claim 5 , wherein the insulation film is wrapped up to the upper edge of the pane of glass facing the light.
