Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a module for converting solar radiation into electricity comprising a panel having a front and a back main side, with a solar energy converting means arranged on or in the front main side and a means for fixing the module to an object. In various embodiments, in order to allow a mounting that prevents accumulation of dirt in the edge region of the panel the means for fixing the module is furthermore arranged over the back main side of the panel and away from the edges of the panel. Embodiments of the invention furthermore relate to a fixing device configured to receive such a module and to a combination of a module and a fixing device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solar system comprising a plurality of solar modules, particularly photovoltaic modules, characterized in that the solar modules are arranged at least two different angles of inclination relative to a flat, particularly horizontal, base area, for instance a flat roof. According to a variant the present invention further relates to a solar system having a plurality of solar modules, wherein a reflecting element is arranged between two solar modules.
