Abstract: An end clamp (01) for fixing a framed PV module (02) on a support profile (03), includes a console element (05) fixed to the support profile (03), and including a clamp strap (04) for holding down the frame (08) of the PV module (02), the clamp strap (04) having at least one clamping surface (07) in contact with the frame (08) of the PV module (02) in a clamping manner. The clamp strap (04) has a supporting surface (17) which contacts a side of a contact surface (20) of the console element (05) while supporting the clamp strap (04). A turnbuckle (06) engages between the clamp strap (04) and the console element (05) for tightening the clamp strap (04) against the console element (05) to hold down the frame (08) of the PV module (02). An least one fixing element (18) is provided at the supporting surface (17) of the clamp strap (04).

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).
