A solar module having a solar module laminate and a rectangular solar module frame which supports the solar module laminate and is assembled by frame profiles which are respectively connected to each other by pairs to a corner connection, wherein at least one of the corner connections is formed by connection of a first frame profile of the frame profiles to an adjacent second frame profile of the frame profiles by a flap. Further, the invention relates to a solar module frame designed to support a solar module laminate and assembled by frame profiles which are respectively connected to each other by pairs to a corner connection, wherein at least one of the corner connections is formed by connection of a first frame profile of the frame profiles to an adjacent second frame profile of the frame profiles by means of a flap.
A solar module, comprising:
A solar module frame designed to support a solar module laminate and assembled by frame profiles which are respectively connected to each other by pairs at frame corners at a corner connection, wherein at least one of the corner connections is formed by connection of a first frame profile of the frame profiles to an adjacent second frame profile of the frame profiles by a flap that includes a first surface facing in a longitudinal direction and a second surface facing in a direction opposite the first surface, wherein the first frame profile comprises a first elongated portion extending in a longitudinal direction and the flap, and wherein the flap extends out of a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction of the first elongated portion, and the flap is integrally formed with the first elongated portion, such that the first elongated portion and the integrally-formed flap form a one-piece, unitary frame profile,
