A mounting system for mounting a photovoltaic module onto at least one mounting rail. The mounting system comprises a frame for the photovoltaic module with at least one opening or protrusion at a lateral side or a bottom side of the frame, the bottom side being opposite to light incidence side of the photovoltaic module. The mounting system further comprises a plurality of mounting elements, each comprising a first portion and a second portion for securing the frame to the at least one mounting rail, the first portion defining a hook-like engagement portion to hook into the opening or the protrusion or the bottom side of the frame to provide an interlocking connection, the second portion enabling a secure fixation to the at least one mounting rail.

Mounting system and a method for mounting photovoltaic modules

A solar module having a solar module laminate and a rectangular solar module frame which supports the solar module laminate and is assembled by frame profiles which are respectively connected to each other by pairs to a corner connection, wherein at least one of the corner connections is formed by connection of a first frame profile of the frame profiles to an adjacent second frame profile of the frame profiles by a flap. Further, the invention relates to a solar module frame designed to support a solar module laminate and assembled by frame profiles which are respectively connected to each other by pairs to a corner connection, wherein at least one of the corner connections is formed by connection of a first frame profile of the frame profiles to an adjacent second frame profile of the frame profiles by means of a flap.
