According to another special embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that at least one clamp can be releasably attached to the respective vertical profile for each of these side edges in order to hold the respective side edges of the solar module or modules that are closest to the two adjacent side roof areas. Of course, here and in the following, the side roof areas should also be understood to mean roof edges or edges. This should include those cases in which the solar power surface extends horizontally on at least one side to the edge of a roof surface.

According to a particular embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the fastening means additionally comprise roof hooks for fastening the vertical profiles above a tiled roof. Such a mounting system enables one or more solar modules to be mounted on a roof (roof-mounted variant).

In particular, it can be provided that an upper end profile is provided in the area of the upper edge(s) of the uppermost solar module(s), which overlaps the uppermost solar module(s) and secures it by means of a seal, preferably a swelling tape seal, arranged horizontally between the solar module(s) and the end profile.

According to an alternative embodiment, the vertical profiles can be attached to roof battens. This enables one or more solar modules to be installed in a roof (in-roof variant).

In particular, it can be provided that an upper end profile is provided in the area of the upper edge(s) of the uppermost solar module(s), which overlaps the uppermost solar module(s) and secures it by means of a seal, preferably a swelling tape seal, arranged horizontally between the solar module(s) and the end profile, and which engages under the next higher row of roof tiles.

Conveniently, a C-shaped substructure profile with a side panel is detachably attached to roof battens adjacent to those side edges of the solar module or modules that are closest to the two adjacent side roof areas.

Finally, a perforated sheet for eaves ventilation is advantageously provided in the area of the lower edge(s) of the lowest solar module(s).

The invention is based on the surprising discovery that the costs of solar power generators can be reduced by using unframed solar modules. The mounting system according to the invention enables quick and safe and therefore cost-effective mounting. The solar modules themselves can be mounted without tools.

Further features and advantages of the invention emerge from the claims and the following description, in which two embodiments are explained using the schematic drawings.

the bracket shown in Fig. 14 in the installed state.

Figure 1 shows a solar power generator according to a particular embodiment of the invention with a solar power surface 12 integrated in a roof 12 made of tiles, which consists of three rows, each with four unframed solar modules 14. The solar modules 14 are mounted by means of a mounting system according to a particular embodiment of the invention, of which only an upper cover 16, two lateral C-substructure profiles 18 (see also Figure 15) with side panels, three horizontally extending holding profiles 20 (see also Figure 6) and vertically extending second sealing profiles 22 (see also Figure 7) are visible. The three holding profiles 20 each extend over the entire width of the respective row of solar modules 14, while the second sealing profiles 22 each extend only over the length of one side edge (one of which is identified by the reference number 24) of a respective solar module 14. For the sake of clarity, however, only the second sealing profiles 22 in the top row of solar modules 14 are marked.

As can be seen from the vertical sectional view according to Figure 2, the solar modules 14 are arranged in a shingled form. This not only achieves good architectural integration, but also contributes to the rainproofing of the solar power surface 12. The shingling of the solar modules 14 is achieved by holding the holding profiles 20 on vertical profiles 26 arranged in a shingled form (see also Figure 10). In the two upper rows of solar modules 14, this is achieved by the ends of the adjacent vertical profiles 26 overlapping vertically (see detail B), while in the lower area (see detail C) a closing block 28 is required. The upper ends of the vertical profiles 26 lie directly on roof battens 30, 32; 34, 36; and 38, which in turn are attached to roof rafters 42 via counter battens 40.

As can be seen from detail A of Figure 2, the upper cover 16 engages under tiles arranged above the upper row of solar modules 14, of which only one is visible and is marked with the reference number 44, and it engages over an upper section.

closing profile 46 (see also Figure 16), which is fastened to the upper ends of the vertical profiles 26 by means of screws, only one of which is visible and provided with reference number 48, and in combination with a swelling tape seal 50 secures the upper edges of the solar modules 14 of the top row.

As can be seen from details B and C of Figure 2, the holding profiles 20 are fastened to the respective vertical profiles 26 via double insertion angles 52 (see also Figure 12), wherein the double insertion angles 52 are fastened to the vertical profiles 26 by means of self-tapping screws 54 with wing and Phillips head.

As further shown in details B and C of Figure 2, the lower edges of the solar modules 14 are received in a sealed manner by first sealing profiles 56 (see also Figure 7) with a sealing lip 57 on a leg 56b (see also Figure 7) in receiving pockets 58 with a base wall 58a and two side walls 58b and 58c (see Figure 3).

As can be seen from detail B of Figure 2 and in even more detail from Figure 3, the upper edges of the solar modules 14 are sealed by a third sealing profile 60 with a sealing lip 61 (see also Figure 8), which is hooked into a suitably designed lower edge 62 of the holding profiles 20. This is further reinforced by holding angles 64 (see also Figure 13), which can be hooked into the holding profiles 20, whereby a distance of 40 cm is preferably maintained between the individual holding hooks in the horizontal direction.

Finally, a perforated sheet 86 for eaves ventilation and a waterproof layer 88 are introduced into the lower area of the solar power surface 12.

The details A and B of Figure 4 show the shingling of the vertical profiles 26. As can be seen in combination with Figure 10, the ends of the vertical profiles 26 can be placed one inside the other, with both being fastened together to a roof batten 68 using wood screws 66. Both in the middle area (see detail B of Figure 4) and in the side

The same second sealing profiles 22 made of EPDM are used in the area (see detail A of Figure 4) of the solar power surface 12. In the lateral area of the solar power surface 12, however, the mushroom-shaped projection 70 is cut off so that a plane is created on which the side edge of the respective solar module 14 lies. In the middle area (see detail B of Figure 4) of the solar power surface 12, however, the projection 70 creates two receiving pockets 70a and 70b, in each of which a side edge of adjacent solar modules 14 is received.

While detail B of Figure 4 shows details of the area marked by A in Figure 1, Figure 5 shows details of the area marked by C in Figure 1. The cut-off second sealing profile 22 and an end cap 72 for the holding profile 20 can be clearly seen. This is because the solar module has been omitted. Figure 14 shows a clamp 74 for laterally holding the side edges of the solar modules closest to the roof tiles 44 on the vertical profiles 26 in an individual view and Fig. 21 in the installed state.

The special design for integration in the roof described above has the following advantages:

- cost-effective due to quick and safe installation
Installation of solar modules on the roof without tools
Compatible with all commercially available roof tiles

Existing roof battens can be included in the concept

- Possibility of colour matching to the solar modules through black anodised profiles

Profiles 26 on the roof 10. As can be seen from Figures 17 and 18, the vertical profiles 26 are connected via angle profiles 76 made of aluminum with roof hooks 78 with brackets 79 (see also Figure 19), which in turn are connected to roof battens 80 and via counter battens 40 to roof rafters 42.

The upper edges of the uppermost solar modules 14 are secured by an upper end profile 82 (see Figure 20), which, unlike the upper end profile 46, has an upper 90° angle and is not covered by an upper cover.

The roof hooks 78 have a large mounting plate 84 (see Figure 19) in order to compensate for an offset with respect to a roof rafter 42.

The installation of the roof-mounted variant can look like this:

1. Preparatory measures for installing the roof hooks 78

Basically, a roof hook 78 is placed horizontally on each roof rafter 42. The width of the solar power surface 12 depends on the width and number of solar modules 14 in a row.

2. Installation of roof hooks 78

The roof hooks 78 are mounted in such a way that the bracket 79 of the respective roof hook 78 comes out at a roof tile valley between the roof tiles 44. Since a roof rafter 42 does not always run under this position, a roof hook 78 with a large mounting plate 84 is used to compensate for the offset.

BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT

-14-

After the mounting positions of the roof hooks 78 have been determined and the roof tiles 44 have been temporarily removed, the roof hooks 78 are placed on the roof rafters 42 so that the respective bracket 79 of the respective roof hook 78 lies in a roof tile valley. The roof hook 78 is then fixed to a roof batten 80 with four steel nails 89. Once the roof hook 78 is fixed, it is firmly screwed to the roof rafters 42.

The removed roof tile 44 is then placed back in its original position. The lower bead of the roof tile 44 is adjusted to the bracket 79 of the roof hook 78 so that the roof tile 78 is level again. If necessary, the roof tile 44 must be worked on.

3. Installation of the angle profiles 76

The angle profiles 76 are screwed horizontally onto the roof hooks 78 so that the 40 cm long leg in this example points downwards. A corrosion protection pad, only one of which is provided with the reference number 77, is placed between the roof hook 78 and the angle profile 76.

4. Installation of the vertical profiles 26

The length of the vertical profiles 26 depends on the height (= length of the side edges) of the solar modules 14 and the distance between the roof hooks 78. Only the side edge of the respective solar module 14 rests on the outer support profiles 20. Therefore, the distances between the outer vertical profiles 26 and the inner ones are smaller than the distances between the inner ones. To create a shingle, a profile piece 81, in this example 50 mm long, is placed underneath the first vertical profile 26. The vertical profiles 26 are attached to the angle profile 76 at each node point with two drilling screws 90.

BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT

Now the remaining vertical profiles 26 are placed vertically overlapping to create a shingle. The overlap can of course vary in length. The upper vertical profiles 26 are left longer so that the upper end profile 82 can be mounted later.

5. Installation of the support profiles 20

A double insertion angle 52 is now inserted into the grooves 26a, b of the vertical profiles 26. Using four drilling screws 54 per double insertion angle 52, which are inserted into the vertical profile 26 from below, only the lowest holding profile 20 is mounted on the vertical profile 26 on the double insertion angle 52. To do this, the holding profile 20 is attached to the double insertion angle 52 from below and then screwed into the double insertion angle 52 from below. Finally, the entire holding profile 20 is inserted into the double insertion angle 52 and screwed in place with grub screws (not shown).

Then a second holding profile 20 is mounted for laying the first solar modules.

6. Installation of the first sealing profiles 56

Before a solar module 14 is installed in the holding module 20, a first sealing profile 56 must be inserted into the holding profile 20. If the solar module thickness (laminate thickness) is over 5.5 mm, the inner sealing lip 57 of the first sealing profile 56 is pulled off lengthwise at the tear groove (not marked). The use of the first sealing profile 56 in this form is very important in order to protect the frameless solar module against dirt, frost, ice and sharp edges of the material. The solar module is also safe against temperature-dependent changes in the metal.

BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT
-16-

The already mounted vertical profiles 26 are now fitted with the second sealing profile 22. This is simply pressed into the vertical profile 26. At the points where the double insertion angles 52 are inserted into the vertical profile 26, the corresponding part of the sealing lips 22a and 22d is removed.

7. Mounting the brackets 64

For each solar module, two brackets 64 are hooked into the retaining profile 20.

8. Cutting the second sealing profiles 22

First step: The second sealing profile 22 is inserted into a cutting template (not shown).

Second step: Using a knife, cut off the second sealing profile 22 with a straight cut at the front.

Third step: Then the web (not marked) of the mushroom-shaped projection 70 is completely cut diagonally.

Fourth step: Now the support surface can be cut straight from below.

Fifth step: The two outer sealing lips 22a and 22d are cut lengthwise on the sides of the cutting template.

Sixth step: Finally, the sealing lips 22a and 22b are separated from the whole.

BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT
-17-

9. Installation of the bottom row of solar modules 14

The first solar module 14 is first pushed under the upper holding profile 20 using a glass suction cup and then lowered into the lower holding profile 20 in the first sealing profile 56. It is pressed into the first sealing profile 56 on the sides. The solar module 14 then sits flush with the holding profile 20 on the side.

The bottom row of solar modules can now be completely installed.

10. Installation of the third sealing profiles 60

From above, the third sealing profile 60 is now pressed between the upper solar module surface of the lowest row and the underside of the second holding profile 20 into the lower edge 62 provided for this purpose.

The third sealing profile 60 is mounted in such a way that the top row of cells of the solar module is not shaded.

11. Further expansion of the solar power generator

After the bottom row of solar modules has been fully assembled, the installation of the next holding profile 20 begins. This is followed by the assembly of the first and second sealing profiles 56 and 22, the insertion of the solar modules 14 and finally the third sealing profile 60, analogous to the first row of solar modules.

12. Installation of the upper end profile 82

BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT
-18-

In order to secure the solar modules 14 at the top, a swelling tape seal 50 is glued to the solar modules 14 from above and the upper end profile 82 is fastened to the vertical profile 26 with two sheet metal screws (not marked) per field.

Every 40 cm, the solar modules are additionally secured to the vertical profiles 26 at the side edges with clamps 74.

The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, in the drawings and in the claims may be essential for the realization of the invention in its various embodiments both individually and in any combination.
