NOVELTY - Photovoltaic module (10) comprises at least one solar cell (11), which is coupled with an electrically conductive and/or conducting and structured layer on a back side for deriving an electrical energy generated in the solar cell; at least a transparent carrier layer on a surface of the solar cell away from the conductive layer; and a covering layer on the conductive layer. The conducting and structured layer is contacted with connections (17) of a connection housing (14), and equipped with at least an electronic component (12) comprising an electronic regulating- and/or controlling circuit.    USE - Used as a photovoltaic module.    ADVANTAGE - The photovoltaic module does not require additional wiring for providing a connection between the electrically conducting and structured layer and the terminals of the connection housing, and thus it allows integration of the electronic component in a simple and cost-efficient manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Photovoltaic module (10) comprises at least one solar cell (11), which is coupled with an electrically conductive and/or conducting and structured layer on a back side for deriving an electrical energy generated in the solar cell; at least one transparent carrier layer on a surface of the solar cell facing away from the electrically conductive layer; and a covering layer on the electrically conductive layer, where the electrically conducting and structured layer is contacted with connections (17) of a connection housing (14), and equipped and/or integrated with at least one electronic component (12). The electronic component comprises an electronic regulating- and/or controlling circuit for regulating and/or controlling an optimal efficiency of the individual solar cell and/or the entire module. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for producing the photovoltaic module.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The figure shows a schematic sectional view of the photovoltaic module.
