Claim:
1. A solar module, comprising: a laminated composite comprising a carrier substrate and a cover substrate, between which a layer structure is situated, the layer structure comprising a front electrode layer, a rear electrode layer, and an intermediate semiconductor layer for forming a plurality of solar cells connected in series, a first spring contact element electrically conductively connected to the rear electrode layer and a second spring contact element electrically conductively connected to the front electrode layer, wherein the first spring contact element and the second spring contact element are completely situated inside at least one cavity formed by at least one contact hole of the carrier substrate, at least one plate-shaped covering element mounted on the carrier substrate provided with the at least one contact hole, the at least one plate-shaped covering element overlying an outer surface of the carrier substrate away from the layer structure to seal the at least one contact hole and to spring load the first spring contact element and the second spring contact element, a first contact piece and a second contact piece connected to the at least one plate-shaped covering element, wherein the first contact piece is implemented as contact pin and is electrically conductively connected to the first spring contact element, and wherein the second contact piece is implemented as contact pin and is electrically conductively connected to the second spring contact element, and at least one connection socket that is mounted, encompassing the at least one plate-shaped covering element, on the carrier substrate provided with the at least one contact hole and has a first mating contact piece and a second mating contact piece, each being implemented as spring clamping element, wherein the first mating contact piece is electrically conductively connected to the first contact piece in the form of a first plug connection, wherein the second mating contact piece is electrically conductively connected to the second contact piece in the form of a second plug connection, and wherein the first contact piece automatically makes electrical contact with the first spring contact element and wherein the second contact piece automatically makes electrical contact with the second spring contact element when mounting the at least one plate-shaped covering element on the carrier substrate provided with the at least one contact hole.
