Abstract: The invention relates to a method for attaching a flat electronic component (2, 2a; 12; 22; 32; 42), in particular a photovoltaic cell, onto a flexible surface structure (1; 11; 21; 31), to the use of a programmable embroidering machine, to a flexible surface structure (1; 11; 21; 31; 41) comprising at least one electronic component (2, 2a; 12; 22; 32; 42) and to a solar module. At least one conduction path (4, 5; 14, 15; 24, 25; 34, 35; 44, 45) is embroidered onto the flexible surface structure, wherein a first conduction path (4; 14; 24; 34; 44) only contacts a first surface segment, in particular the bottom side (16; 36; 46), of the component (2, 2a; 12; 22; 32; 42) and a second conduction path (5; 15; 25; 35; 45) only contacts a second surface segment, in particular the top side (7; 17), of the same component (2, 2a; 12; 22; 32; 42).
