Abstract: In one broad aspect, the present invention provides a mounting system (100) for mounting one or more solar panels (S), comprising: a plurality of elongate mounting members (20) adapted to be arranged and secured spaced apart and substantially parallel to one another; and a plurality of anchoring devices (30) for securing each of the mounting members (20) to a support structure, such as a roof structure. Each of the mounting members (20) is adapted to receive and support an edge region (E) of a solar panel (S), such that each solar panel (S) extends between at least two mounting members (20). Furthermore, each anchoring device (30) comprises a footing (31) to be rigidly fastened to the support structure, and a coupling member (35) for connection with a respective one of the mounting members (20). A spacing between the coupling member (35) and the footing (31) is selectively variable by a user to adjust and/or set an elevation (X) of the respective mounting member (20) relative to the support structure.

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.
