The invention relates to a cover element, in particular a lid, for a junction box of a solar module, wherein the cover element forms upper and undersides that are mirror-symmetrical in terms of its geometrical form, and wherein at least one first marking is applied to the upper side and/or at least one first marking is formed via the upper side in the form of an indentation and/or elevation, and at least one second marking is applied to the underside and/or at least one second marking is formed via the underside in the form of an indentation and/or elevation, wherein the at least one first marking is not identical to the at least one second marking and/or the cover element comprises a rotational joint or a part of a rotational joint and/or is/can be operatively connected to a rotational joint, such that the lid is/can be mounted so that it can be horizontally rotated about the rotational axis of the rotational joint. The invention also relates to an assembly of the cover element and junction box, and to a use thereof.

Cover element for a junction box of a solar module

A solar module with a front side surface and a rear side surface, has a front side encapsulation element which forms the front side surface of the solar module, a multiplicity of solar cells which are connected electrically to one another, a rear side encapsulation element which forms the rear side surface of the solar module with a rear side surface plane and has a polymer plastic film, and at least one plug-in device connecting to a complementary structure. The plug-in device is at least partially laminated into the rear side encapsulation element, in the region of an overlapping section, wherein the rear site encapsulation element has an opening and the plug-in device is arranged at least partially in the opening. The plug-in device projects beyond the rear side surface plane of the solar module by a maximum of 15 mm.
