Abstract: A junction box for an electrical connection of a photovoltaic module, comprising a plug-in module and a housing module. The plug-in module comprises a plug element and a connection element, wherein the plug element enables a plug-in connection with an external electrical connection line, and the connection element provides a connection option for an internal electrical supply line into the photovoltaic module. The housing module can be connected to, and detached from, the plug-in module and can also be attached to the photovoltaic module in order to offer protection of a connection area of the photovoltaic module against outer influences.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solar module and a method for manufacturing a solar module, wherein the solar module comprises at least one solar cell; at least two connection elements (3) for establishing an electrical connection to the at least one solar cell; a bypass component (4) which is connected with the connection elements (3) and a connection box (2), in which the bypass component (4) is provided, wherein the connection box (2) comprises a potting material (6) which covers at least partially the bypass component (4). According to the invention the connection box (2) comprises at least one connection area (7, 7a, 7b) which is free of potting material (6), wherein a bypass component (40) and/or another electronic component is connectable with the connection elements (3) using the connection area (7, 7a, 7b). The invention also relates to a method for repairing and/or retrofitting a solar module.
