A plate-shaped solar module, particularly for use as facade element or roof element is provided with an outer pane facing the incident light, at least one inner plate arranged at a distance behind it in the direction of light incidence to create an intermediate space and a peripheral construction running around the outer pane and the inner plate for connecting them in sealing manner. Solar cells are arranged between the outer pane and the inner plate, imbedded in cast resin, compound foil/s or the like, and with a conductor system electrically connecting them. The connecting lines for electric connection with other adjacent solar modules lead into the area of the periphery and the connecting lines are attached on a lug that projects into the intermediate space and is imbedded in the cast resin or the compound foil/s. The lug is connected with an insulating bush by connecting elements that extend outside the plate construction, whereby the connecting elements are connected with, in each case, one of the connecting lines laid through the insulating bush and can be connected with corresponding connecting elements of adjacent solar modules.
