Abstract: A solar module is described. The solar module has: i) a carrier layer and, arranged thereon one over another, a first intermediate layer, at least one solar cell, a second intermediate layer, and a front pane; ii) a peripheral edge reinforcement arranged above the front pane; iii) an interspace formed by a peripheral projection of the carrier layer; and iv) a peripheral projection of the peripheral edge reinforcement beyond the front pane, the interspace having a sealant.

Abstract: A transparent pane, in particular a glass pane, having at least one electroconducting, non-transparent contact surface placed on one of its surfaces, to connect it by soldering to a connection piece. In the region of the soldering location, the contact surface has at least one cutout via which the soldering filler metal is visible through the pane after the connection piece has been soldered to the contact surface. Such a configuration allows reliable visual verification of the soldering locations, even in cases in which the soldering location is incorporated within a composite glazing panel and has been soldered, if necessary by induction heating.

Abstract: A heated window with an electrically conducting surface coating that may be electrically connected as a heating element to a voltage source using a first and a second current-collecting rail and that is split into a first part, a heated look-through region, and a second part, an additional heated region. In the heated window at least two current-collecting rails are arranged in the additional heated region so that the direction in which the current flows in the additional heated region is roughly perpendicular to the direction in which the current flows in the heated look-through region.
