More Information
Summary:A mounting system for mounting a photovoltaic module (4) onto at least one mounting rail (6) is disclosed. The mounting system comprises a frame (10) for the photovoltaic module (4) with at least one opening (110) or protrusion (120) at a lateral side (13) or a bottom side (15) of the frame (10), the bottom side (15) being opposite to light incidence side of the photovoltaic module (4). The mounting system further comprises a plurality of mounting elements (20), each comprising a first portion (210) and a second portion (220) for securing the frame (10) to the at least one mounting rail (6), the first portion (210) defining a hook-like engagement portion to hook into the opening (110) or the protrusion (120) or the bottom side (15) of the frame (10) to provide an interlocking connection, the second portion (220) enabling a secure fixation to the at least one mounting rail (6).
