NOVELTY - Photovoltaic module comprises: a laminated composite assembly comprising rear plate (2), photovoltaic layer system (3) and front plate (1) arranged one above another; at least one contact element (9) in at least one contact hole (5) of the front plate and/or of the rear plate; at least one busbar which electrically conductively connects the photovoltaic layer system to at least one contact element; and at least one junction box which covers at least one contact hole with contact element and is fixed to the front plate and/or rear plate.    USE - Used as a photovoltaic module.    ADVANTAGE - The photovoltaic module: has a terminal box, which permits an improved durability and corrosion-resistant electric contact; and can be produced in cost efficient manner.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Photovoltaic module comprises: a laminated composite assembly comprising rear plate (2), photovoltaic layer system (3) and front plate (1) arranged one above another; at least one contact element (9) in at least one contact hole (5) of the front plate and/or of the rear plate; at least one busbar which electrically conductively connects the photovoltaic layer system to at least one contact element; and at least one junction box which covers at least one contact hole with contact element and is fixed to the front plate and/or rear plate. The contact element is electrically conductively connected to the busbar via a contact area. The busbar has tin plating, and the diameter of the tin plating is 1-2 times the diameter of the contact area. The contact element comprises at least one contact pin, a contact counter part and a spring. A soldering-free and clamping connection are provided between the contact element and the busbar. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) producing a photovoltaic module, comprising (a) providing a rear plate or the front plate having a photovoltaic layer system, at least one contact hole and at least one busbar in the region of the contact hole, (b) placing junction box on the busbars, (c) passing the tip of an ultrasonic soldering iron with the solder deposit through the contact hole for busbar, (d) ultrasonically-tinning the busbars, (e) removing the ultrasonic soldering iron, (f) removing the junction box, (g) placing an intermediate layer on the rear plate and a front plate to produce a laminated composite, (h) inserting a contact element into the contact hole and (i) connecting a junction box with connecting cable on the contact element; and    (2) a device for the automated collection of ultrasonic-tinning conductor of a photovoltaic module comprising a counter-holder with thermal insulation (18), an ultrasonic soldering iron, where the counter-holder and the ultrasonic soldering iron are independently vertically moveable, and the tip of the ultrasonic soldering iron can accommodate a solder deposit.
