Abstract: The invention concerns a rail system for mounting facing elements on a facade, wherein the rail system includes an elongated rail with a longitudinal direction, the rail including means for direct or indirect mounting on a façade, the rail further including means for fixing facing elements to the rail, and wherein the rail system further includes at least one fixing unit for each facing element, the means for direct or indirect mounting on a facade being constituted by at least one flange member, and wherein the means for fixing facing elements to the rail includes a body part with a contact face for a back side of a facing element. The new feature of a rail system according to the invention is that the body part includes at least a first set of fixing means and at least a second set of fixing means, each set of fixing means being adapted to an individual type of fixing units. In a rail according to the invention there is thus provided at last two different types of fixing means.

Abstract: The purpose of this invention is to indicate a solar panel element, wherein the solar panel element may constitute an integrated and aesthetically attractive covering element for covering a building envelope, where the solar panel element can be mounted without changing possibly existing underlying structures and follow the architecture in the surrounding covering of the building. Moreover, it is aimed at mounting a solar panel element which is completely or partially produced under quality-assuring conditions. This purpose is achieved by a solar panel element consisting of a transmission plate, an absorber housing and an absorber member. The solar panel element according to the invention is peculiar in that the transmission plate has greater extension than the absorber housing, and that the transmission plate, compared with the absorber housing, has a protruding part, preferably for overlapping on a roof or façade element.
