NOVELTY - The thinlayer component comprises a layer structure (2) and an electrical conductive protective device (3), which are subjected on a glass disc (1) and on which a dielectric protective layer (4) is applied, where an interval between the electrical conductive protective device and outer edge (5) of the glass disc is smaller than the interval between the layer structure and the outer edge of the glass disc. The electrical conductive protective device is galvanically connected over a contact area with a pole of the layer structure or at the pole with a front electrode of the layer structure.    USE - Thinlayer component useful as thinlayer-photovoltaic-module (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The thinlayer component can be manufactured with good electrical efficiency and good durability.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The thinlayer component comprises a layer structure (2) and an electrical conductive protective device (3), which are subjected on a glass disc (1) and on which a dielectric protective layer (4) is applied, where an interval between the electrical conductive protective device and outer edge (5) of the glass disc is smaller than the interval between the layer structure and the outer edge of the glass disc. The electrical conductive protective device is galvanically connected over a contact area with a pole of the layer structure or at the pole with a front electrode of the layer structure or with a back electrode of the layer structure. The electrical conductive protective device has a width of 0.5-5 mm and partially surrounds the layer structure. An electrical conductive mounting means is applied at the outer edge of the glass disc and partially surrounds the component. The glass disc consists of alkali elements (10-16 wt.%). The layer structure consists of thin layer-photovoltaic-cells with silicon, chalcopyrite or cadmium telluride. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for the production of a thin-layer component.
