Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a contact for solar cells (30) arranged in a laminated solar panel (1), wherein the solar cells (30) are coated on both sides of the main surfaces thereof with at least one layer and before a lamination step the solar cells (30) are connected with electrically-conducting connectors (31, 33), the electrically conducting connectors (31, 33) being arranged in the solar panel for laminating such as to be completely laminated within the solar panel (1) after the lamination step. After the lamination step a contact region (35) of the electrically-conducting connector (33) is exposed, wherein at least one of the layers covering the solar cells is completely punched through in the corresponding region, in particular by stripping. The contact region (35) of the electrically-conducting connector (33) can then be contacted by means of an externally-accessible contact element.
