Abstract
A solar module has a thin-film structure applied on an aluminum substrate, with the back electrode insulated from the electrically conductive aluminum substrate by an electrically insulating oxide layer. The aluminum substrate can be an aluminum facade element or can be joined to an aluminum facade element. For producing the insulating oxide layer, a known method for the manufacture of electrically conductive oxide electrodes composed of zinc oxide is utilized in a form modified to produce the solar module.
