- ade, comprising a plurality of carrier profiles which are arranged in rows spaced from each other and each carry one or more clamping elements for fastening the solar modules on the carrier profiles,wherein the clamping elements are formed in such a way that with each clamping element two neighbouring solar modules can be fastened on the carrier profile supporting the clamping element in such a way that the delimiting edges of both solar modules facing each other and running transversely to the carrier profile, which adjoin the clamping element on both sides, are overlapped by the clamping element and are therefore secured in a form fitting way against take-off from the carrier profile,wherein the clamping elements comprise each a ridge element for an assembly between the delimiting edges of the solar modules and a head element formed separately from the ridge element for overlapping the delimiting edges of the solar modules,wherein the ridge elements are formed as profile sections and are form fittingly attached to the corresponding carrier profile at their lower ends, each being oriented with its longitudinal profile direction in longitudinal direction of the carrier profile supporting them, in such a way that each of them engages in profile sections of the carrier profile with profile contours formed by these and/or encompasses profile sections of the carrier profile,wherein the head elements are form fittingly attached to this ridge element in the area of the upper end of the corresponding ridge element, in such a way that they are each inserted in and/or on contours of the ridge element in longitudinal profile direction of the ridge element and protrude on both sides beyond the ridge element in the longitudinal direction of the ridge element, in order to overlap the delimiting edges of the solar modules to be fastened.

Abstract
The invention relates to a fastening assembly for solar modules (1), wherein the solar modules (1) are fastened to carrier profiles (2) arranged in several rows by way of clamping elements (3, 4) in that each clamping element (3, 4) extends over the mutually opposing delimiting edges of two solar modules (2), which run transversely to the carrier profile (2) and adjoin the clamping element (3, 4) on both sides. Each clamping element (3, 4) comprises a ridge element (3) and a head element (4) designed separate therefrom. The ridge element (3) is designed as a profile section and attached at the lower end thereof to the carrier profile (2) through insertion into profile contours of the carrier profile. The head element (4) is attached to the ridge element (3) in the region of the upper end of said element by being inserted into profile contours of the ridge element (3). To this end, the head element (3) protrudes beyond the ridge element (3) on both sides in the profile longitudinal direction of the ridge element (3) so as to extend over the delimiting edges of the solar modules (1) to be fastened. The invention provides a fastening system which comprises few components (2, 3, 4) that can be produced cost-effectively and enables the simple and secure fastening of solar modules (1) even under difficult ambient conditions by using delimiting edges that run transversely to the carrier profiles (2).

- ade, comprising a plurality of carrier profiles which are arranged in rows spaced from each other and each carry one or more clamping elements for fastening the solar modules on the carrier profiles,
wherein the clamping elements are formed in such a way that with each clamping element two neighbouring solar modules can be fastened on the carrier profile supporting the clamping element in such a way that the delimiting edges of both solar modules facing each other and running transversely to the carrier profile, which adjoin the clamping element on both sides, are overlapped by the clamping element and are therefore secured in a form fitting way against take-off from the carrier profile, wherein the clamping elements comprise each a ridge element for an assembly between the delimiting edges of the solar modules and a head element formed separately from the ridge element for overlapping the delimiting edges of the solar modules, wherein the ridge elements are formed as profile sections and are form fittingly attached to the corresponding carrier profile at their lower ends, each being oriented with its longitudinal profile direction in longitudinal direction of the carrier profile supporting them, in such a way that each of them engages in profile sections of the carrier profile with profile contours formed by these and/or encompasses profile sections of the carrier profile, wherein the head elements are form fittingly attached to this ridge element in the area of the upper end of the corresponding ridge element, in such a way that they are each inserted in and/or on contours of the ridge element in longitudinal profile direction of the ridge element and protrude on both sides beyond the ridge element in the longitudinal direction of the ridge element, in order to overlap the delimiting edges of the solar modules to be fastened. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)
