Abstract: The invention relates to a support (1) for mounting a solar panel (S), having a bottom part (10) for placement on a substantially flat underlying surface, particularly on a roof; a plurality of walls (20) which extend upwards from the bottom part (10), a plurality of supporting surfaces (26, 28) for laying on the solar panel (S) being provided at the upper sides opposite the bottom part; and fastening means (33, 40) for fastening the solar panel on the supporting surfaces, the fastening means clamping the solar panel (S) against the supporting surfaces (26, 28). Preferably, the fastening means (33, 40) comprise at least one clamping rail (40) which is fitted on a lateral border of the solar panel (S) lying on the supporting surfaces (26, 28), and extends continuously over at least half, preferably at least three-quarters, of the longitudinal dimension of the lateral border of the solar panel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a support (1) for a solar panel (100), particularly for mounting a solar panel (100), having a bottom part which has a base (2) and assembly elements which are provided on an underside of the base (2) and which are intended for the purpose of assembly on an essentially flat foundation, particularly a roof, having a top, which is essentially opposite the underside and which supports the panel, with fastening means which hold the solar panel (100) obliquely with respect to the bottom part or a roof plane in a mounted state, and having a front with a surface which directs the wind (140) and which is oriented obliquely inwards towards the top from a front region of the bottom part in order to direct wind (140) towards the top in the direction of an upper edge of a solar panel (100) mounted on the support (1), wherein the surface directing the wind has an upwardly oriented tangent (W1-W3) which extends in a region around the junction between the front and the top of the support and in a di
