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). The fixing element (18) is fixed to a counter fixing element (21) having a complementary shape in a positive and/or frictional manner in the contact surface (20) of the console element (05). An approximation of the supporting surface (17) of the clamp strap (04) towards the support profile (03) is excluded by positive mechanical engagement and/or frictional connection between the fixing element (18) and the counter fixing element (21).

Abstract: A connection element for bottom profile rails of a mounting system for photovoltaic modules, includes a base body (12) realized as a U-profile rail and having two parallel side legs (13) and a connection section (14), wherein both side legs (13) have a projection (16) on a free end (15) facing away from the connection section (14), the projection (16) being realized with the base body (12), wherein, in the mounted state, the side legs (13) are guided in channel sections (26) of the bottom profile rail (05) in such a manner that a wall of the channel sections (26) runs above the free ends (15) of the side legs (13), wherein the projection (16) is realized in such a manner that it does not project at the top beyond the wall of the channel sections (26) in the mounted state.
