A laminated solar module has two spatially-separated electrical terminals with a simple cabling of a plurality of such solar modules to one another. The solar modules are weather proof. A respective housing is located at each electrical terminal. A protective diode is integrated in at least one housing as a normally-non-conducting diode bridging solar cells that are arranged in the solar module and connected in series.
