Abstract: The invention relates to a fastening assembly for solar modules (1), wherein the solar modules (1) are fastened to carrier profiles (2) arranged in several rows by way of clamping elements (3, 4) in that each clamping element (3, 4) extends over the mutually opposing delimiting edges of two solar modules (2), which run transversely to the carrier profile (2) and adjoin the clamping element (3, 4) on both sides. Each clamping element (3, 4) comprises a ridge element (3) and a head element (4) designed separate therefrom. The ridge element (3) is designed as a profile section and attached at the lower end thereof to the carrier profile (2) through insertion into profile contours of the carrier profile. The head element (4) is attached to the ridge element (3) in the region of the upper end of said element by being inserted into profile contours of the ridge element (3).
