Fixing device for solar modules

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to the invention there is provided a fixing device for solar modules comprising at least one locating part for fixing on the area of application and fixing structure for fixation of solar modules to the locating part, the locating part being provided with at least one recess on its upper part facing the solar module, wherein the fixing structure comprises projecting parts, pins or hooks, which are connected to the solar module or are formed thereon and which engage the recess laterally and/or by their ends when the locating part and the solar module are assembled.
The locating part is preferably a profiled rail, which is provided, on its upper side facing the solar module, with at least one slot arranged parallel to its longitudinal axis, whereas the fixing means engage the slot laterally and/or by their ends when the locating part and the solar module are assembled.
According to an embodiment of the invention, the existing slot essentially extends over the whole length of the profiled rail.
According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the profiled rail consists of two essentially identical semiprofiles that are interconnected at least at their ends by at least one connecting piece, which at least partially encompasses in a positive or non positive way the semiprofiles and which brings and maintains them in a parallel arrangement relative to one another in such a way that a longitudinal slot is formed between the semiprofiles.
The fixing means are preferably brackets made of a resilient material with bent tongues.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the solar modules are provided with frame members having recesses directed toward the locating part, whereas the fixing means are projecting parts, pins, hooks or the like, which engage the recess in the frame member laterally and/or by their ends when the locating part and the solar module are assembled.
In this case too, the fixing means are preferably brackets made of a resilient material with bent tongues
