Abstract: The solar module according to the invention consists of a transparent adhesive layer (1), in which the solar cells (3) that are interconnected by cell connectors (2) are embedded. A transparent, UV stable, thin front layer (4), composed for example of a thin pane of glass, is located above said adhesive layer. The supporting sandwich element (5), consisting of a nucleic layer (6) and glass fibre layers (7) bonded by means of polyurethane is located on the rear face. Fastening elements (8) and an electric socket (9) are integrated into the supporting sandwich element. A barrier film (10), which prevents the entry of water and oxygen, adjoins the sandwich element. The solar module has peripheral edge protection (11) consisting of elastomeric polyurethane, which prevents the lateral penetration of water, dirt and oxygen. The invention also relates to a method for producing the solar module.

Abstract: A multilayer flat molding with a visible side and a supporting layer, for example bathtubs or shower fittings, is described, the visible side consisting of a polyurethane surface coating layer and the supporting layer consisting of a reinforced polyurethane layer.
