Abstract: A photovoltaic system (1) comprising at least one photovoltaic module (100) and a support (10) for supporting and/or retaining each photovoltaic module (100) in a position relative to an assembly plane, the position forming an inclination angle. The support (10) comprises first and second engaging elements (20 or 30) for each of the photovoltaic modules (100), each of the engaging elements engaging onto a frame portion (102) of the corresponding photovoltaic module (100). The first engaging element (20), the photovoltaic module (100), and the second engaging element (30) are arranged in a successive manner in a direction (R) of extension, and the mechanical connection between the first and the second engaging elements (20 or 30) in the direction (R) of extension is produced solely by a portion (104) of the photovoltaic module (100), in particular a frame portion (102) of the photovoltaic module (100).
