A thin film solar module including at least one first sub module including a plurality of first thin film solar cells connected with one another in series; and a second sub module connected with the first sub module in parallel, the second sub module including a plurality of second thin film solar cells connected with one another in series. The sub modules are formed on a shared substrate in a monolithic manner, wherein a first connecting cell including the first thin film solar cells and a second connecting cell including the second thin film solar cells are arranged adjacent to one another, spaced apart from each other through an insulation trench and electrically connected with one another through a shared contact. The invention further relates to a method for producing a thin film solar module.
