Patent number: 7705234Abstract: A solar module having a housing and a solar element is described, wherein the housing comprises a connecting element, which is connected to the contact surface of the solar element in an electrically conductive manner. Furthermore the connecting element is connected to electrical connection sockets, by means of which connecting conductors may be connected. A contact element which is biased against the contact surfaces of the solar elements is arranged between the connecting element and the contact surfaces of the solar element as a contact element. As a result of this, soldered, clamped or screwed connections between the solar element and the connecting element are unnecessary. A simple and cost-effective automated production of the solar module is thus made possible.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2005Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Tyco Electronics AMP GmbHInventors: Guenter Feldmeier, Heinz Scherer, Andreas Woeber
