Abstract

A method for the production of a photovoltaic module, which essentially combines a transparent front substrate, such as a glass cover 1, a rear substrate, such as a rear film 6, a layer of solar cells 3 positioned therebetween, and a thermally activated softening adhesive layer 2 to form a laminar structure. For sealing the edges of the photovoltaic module, a linear body 7 framing at the edges and surrounding the layer of solar cells 3 having a thermally activated adhesive material 9 is placed between the front substrate 1 and the rear substrate 6, with the thermally activated adhesive material 9 of the linear body 7 being selected such that it does not soften or softens slower and/or at higher temperatures compared to the thermally activated adhesive layer 2 or has a higher viscosity in reference to the thermally activated adhesive layer 2. A photovoltaic module is also provided.
