NOVELTY - Edge connector for a photovoltaic solar module (16), comprises: a dielectric edge connector housing with a lateral mounting tab (10) for connecting to an end-face edge of the solar module; a first cable connector (4) arranged laterally on the edge connector housing for detachable connection of a first connecting line (24a) to the edge connector to produce an electrical connection of the connecting line to the solar module; a second cable connector, for connecting an edge connector line limited to the solar module; and a conductor strip (22) connecting element.    USE - The edge connector is useful for a photovoltaic solar module (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The edge connector is compact in size and easy to install.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Edge connector for a photovoltaic solar module (16), comprises: a dielectric edge connector housing with a lateral mounting tab (10) for connecting to an end-face edge of the solar module; a first cable connector (4) arranged laterally on the edge connector housing for detachable connection of a first connecting line (24a) to the edge connector to produce an electrical connection of the connecting line to the solar module; a second cable connector, which is electrically connected to the first cable connector and is arranged on the edge connector housing opposite to the first cable connector, for connecting an edge connector line limited to the solar module; and a conductor strip (22) connecting element, which is electrically connected to the cable connectors and is arranged between the cable connectors of the edge connector, for electrical connection to a conductor strip. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are also included for:    (1) a photovoltaic solar module for generating electrical power from sunlight, comprising a first- and a second edge connector attached to the solar module, for connecting a first- and second electrical connecting line, and an edge connector cable detachably connected to the second cable connector of the first edge connector and the second cable connector of the second edge connector for electrically connecting around the edges of connectors together under electrical bypass of the solar module; and    (2) a photovoltaic generator made of a number of photoelectric solar modules, comprising at least one photovoltaic solar module for generating electrical power from sunlight, and at least two edge connectors attached to the solar module, where the first and second edge connectors are connected with each other at a portion of the photovoltaic solar modules via an edge connector line under the electrical bypass of the solar module.
