Abstract: A photovoltaic module includes several cell rows of serially connected photovoltaic cells and one or more bypass components. The cell rows are arranged next to each other perpendicular to a current direction which is formed in the serially connected photovoltaic cells during operation and are connected in such a way that at least two adjacent cell rows comprise the same current direction. The one or more bypass components bypass at least one of the adjacent cell rows of the same current direction.

Abstract: A solar cell module and a method for operating a solar cell module. The solar cell module includes a plurality of strings which are each formed from a plurality of solar cells connected to one another in a series circuit, wherein each string is connected to a bypass circuit assigned thereto. The solar cell module is also characterized in that the bypass circuit has a switching element and is configured to reduce an electrical current inside the string by switching the switching element when a return current occurs within the associated string.

Abstract: A method for repairing a solar panel with a front-side-encapsulating element and a rear-side-encapsulating element, said method comprising the following steps: a) applying an adhesive paste or liquid to the rear-side-encapsulating element; b) applying a covering layer to the adhesive paste or liquid, and c) hardening the adhesive paste or liquid. The invention also relates to a solar panel comprising a front-side-encapsulating element, a rear-side-encapsulating element, an adhesive layer on a side of the rear-side-encapsulating element facing away from the front-side-encapsulating element, and a covering layer on a side of the adhesive layer facing away from the front-side-encapsulating element.
