The invention relates to a mounting interface configured for a photovoltaic module () comprising a backside () having an overall backside surface size (), the mounting interface comprising at least six mounting elements () attachable to the backside () of the photovoltaic module () for mounting the photovoltaic module () on a mounting surface, wherein each mounting element () comprises a mounting element surface having an overall mounting element surface size () such that the contact area between the photovoltaic module () and the mounting element (), when attached to the photovoltaic module (), equals the overall mounting element surface size (), and the overall backside surface size () of the photovoltaic module () divided by the summarized overall mounting element surface size () of all mounting elements () is &#x2267;40 and &#x2266;160, preferably &#x2267;50 and &#x2266;80, more preferably 52. The invention provides for reducing the size of each mounting element () such that the overall amount of material required for the mounting is reduced, resulting in minimized material costs.
