Supporting plate for mounting solar modules on a flat substrate and supporting plate panel

Abstract

A supporting plate for mounting a rectangular flat solar module on a flat substrate includes a front edge, a rear edge and a first and a second side edge. At least three parallel trapezoidal profiles are evenly spaced on the supporting plate with respect to each other. The trapezoidal profiles extend continuously from the front edge to the rear edge with a first and a second of the trapezoidal profiles extending respectively along the side edges and a third of the trapezoidal profiles extending centrally on the supporting plate such that the front edge, the rear edge and the side edges enclose a rectangular area that corresponds to a rectangular area of the flat solar module. Each of the trapezoidal profiles include an upper side and continuously increase in height from the front edge to the rear edge so as to form, by the upper sides, an inclined direct bearing surface for the flat solar module. Intermediate areas between the trapezoidal profiles are configured as an accommodating area for a fixed weighting product and as a direct stand area of the supporting plate on the flat substrate, the stand area being between 2 and 3 times as large as the bearing surface.
