Producing a solar trough collector includes fastening a mirror to a structure so that the mirror connects to the structure and has a holding container and a mirrored side facing away from the holding container, the mirror and structure forming joining components, aligning the mirror and structure into a joining position to form a joining gap between joining surfaces; at least temporarily fixing the joining components in the joining position by laying the mirrored side downward in a first holding device, suspending the structure in a second holding device arranged above the mirror, and moving holding devices into the joining position; filling the joining gaps with a joining medium; and allowing the joining medium to harden in the gap to form a permanent connection, wherein the holding devices are held in position until the joining medium has at least partially hardened.

Joining method

In a photovoltaic solar module in plate form with an outer plate, an inner plate and a plastic interlayer joining them, in which are embedded solar cells, where the solar cells are interconnected with one another electrically be means of several connecting conductors and where the connecting conductors are each connected so as to be electrically conductive to a connection device arranged in an opening in the inner plate, several connecting conductors are durably connected to a common connection device, which comprises a multiple plug-and-socket connector.
