FRAMING SYSTEM FOR FLAT PLATE PANELS

摘要

The invention concerns a framing system for photovoltaic modules, comprising a photovoltaic laminate and a frame surrounding the photovoltaic laminate on at least one of its edges. The frame comprises a first frame element (11) which is secured to the edge/s of the photovoltaic module (30) and a second frame element (12). The first frame element (11) comprises first integral attachment means and the second frame element (12) comprises second integral attachment means which attachment means allow the first frame element (11) and the second frame element (12) to be attached to each other in a snap-fit way. The invention also concerns a method for attaching a frame to a photovoltaic module (30) in which method the first frame element (11) being attached to at least one edge of the photovoltaic module (30), the second frame element (12) being attached to the first frame element (11) so that it extends essentially over the entire length of the first frame element (11) at the edge it is being secured to in a snap-fit way, and the framed photovoltaic module (30) being inserted into a mounting element (50) for the photovoltaic module (30).
