Abstract

Mounting system for solar modules ( 6 ) having a frame ( 2 ) on which one or more plate-shaped solar modules ( 6 ) are held, wherein the frame ( 2 ) is supported on a substructure ( 7, 9, 11 ) that is fixed to a subsurface, characterized in that an anchor ( 13, 35 ) is provided that can be affixed to a building structure ( 17 ) and supports the frame ( 2 ) in an upper region, the frame ( 2 ) being slidably positioned relative to the anchor ( 13, 35 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Mounting system for solar modules ( 6 ) having a frame ( 2 ) on which one or more plate-shaped solar modules ( 6 ) are held, wherein the frame ( 2 ) is supported on a substructure ( 7 ,  9 ,  11 ) that is fixed to a subsurface, characterized in that an anchor ( 13 ,  35 ) is provided that can be affixed to a building structure ( 17 ) and supports the frame ( 2 ) in an upper region, the frame ( 2 ) being slidably positioned relative to the anchor ( 13 ,  35 ). 
     
     
         2 . Mounting system according to  claim 1 , characterized in that guiding means ( 21 ,  22 ,  24 ,  41 ,  59 ) are attached at to or formed at the anchor ( 13 ,  15 ), and that the anchor ( 13 ,  15 ) is slidably moveable relative to a profile ( 3 ) in its longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         3 . Mounting system according to  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that the frame ( 2 ) comprises upwardly extending profiles ( 3 ), and that at least one of these profiles ( 3 ) is slidably retained relative to an anchor ( 13 ,  35 ). 
     
     
         4 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 , characterized in that the setting range of the profile ( 3 ) relative to the anchor ( 13 ,  35 ) amounts to at least 10 cm, preferably more than 1 m or the whole length of the profile. 
     
     
         5 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterized in that the frame ( 2 ) comprises several upwardly extending profiles ( 3 ) connected to each other by means of horizontal profiles ( 2 ,  5 ). 
     
     
         6 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  5 , characterized in that the guiding means ( 21 ,  22 ,  24 ,  49 ) provided at the anchor ( 13 ,  35 ) clasp at least partially an upwardly extending profile ( 3 ). 
     
     
         7 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  6 , characterized in that the guidance of an upwardly extending profile ( 3 ) is provided by means of a slot ( 32 ′) through which a bolt ( 41 ) is inserted. 
     
     
         8 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  7 , characterized in that the anchor ( 13 ,  35 ) is connected to a retainer part ( 20 ) that can be adjusted in a horizontal direction relative to a fixed part ( 35 ) fixed to a wall ( 17 ). 
     
     
         9 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  8 , characterized in that the anchor ( 13 ,  35 ) is connected to a retainer part ( 58 ) that can be pivoted about a horizontal and/or vertical axis ( 53 ,  56 ) relative to a fixed part ( 51 ) fixed to the wall ( 17 ). 
     
     
         10 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  9 , characterized in that the anchor ( 13 ,  35 ) comprises a section that can be inserted into a wall and to which a sealing device ( 29 ) is attached in order to seal the wall duct. 
     
     
         11 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  10 , characterized in that the anchor ( 35 ′,  35 ″) is constructed to be adjustable in length. 
     
     
         12 . Mounting system according to any one of  claims 1  to  11 , characterized in that the base part ( 11 ) fastened to a stationary part ( 11 ) pivots about a horizontal axis ( 10 ).
