Abstract

A thin-film solar module can have the following features: a first film web; a sequence of electrically conductive contact points arranged at a distance from one another on the first film web with respective first and second regions; a sequence of flexible thin-film solar cells which has a first side that is designed as a first pole at least in certain regions and a second side that is designed as a second pole at least in certain regions, a photovoltaically active layer structure, a flexible sealing layer located on the first side of the layer structure, and at least one electrical conductor located between the layer structure and the sealing layer and contacting the first pole, wherein the flexible sealing layer and the electric conductor protrude laterally past the photovoltaically active layer structure; wherein the thin-film solar cells are arranged on the first film web such that the second pole contacts a first contact point of the contact points on the first film web in the first region and the electric conductor contacting the first pole contacts a second contact point adjacent to the first contact point on the first film web in the second region.
