  • Patent number: 9093948
    Abstract: A mounting system for positioning at least one photovoltaic module of a PV-module unit on a planar flat roof in an inclined position defining an angle with the flat roof, comprising: a frame, wherein the frame defines a PV-module unit mounting side, a back side, two lateral sides, and a bottom side, which commonly define a prism, the base area of which corresponds to one of the lateral sides, the cover area of which corresponds to the other one of the lateral sides, and a jacket area of which corresponds to the mounting side, the back side and the bottom side. The mounting and back sides intersect along an imaginary line which defines a ridge arranged oppositely to the bottom side. A wind deflector may be attached to the back side such that an open ridge gap is formed and connects an interior of the prism to the environment.
