The solar module frame at least indicate a section on a recess which is suitable rain and Condensation completely to expire. This is achieved by the stand construction at least one uplift element has, with which the solar module frame are placed in such a way can that section of the solar module frame with the recess is arranged at a lowest point. In addition, anchoring profiles that can be used as supporting elements of the elevation be placed on the roof, convex or concave along the edge so that according to their arrangement to each other a skillful possibility for water drainage is created. Especially in winter when the operating direction the solar modules used about to melt off snow is, melt water can over the concave folded profiles are removed. These are as System interconnected in such a way that a drainage of water into a gutter or a gully on the roof. Such a Gully can also in its drain hole and in the water supply-Gefällerinne with a commercial electrically operated heat hose be equipped so that a freezing of the inflow reliably prevented becomes. This embodiment is particularly advantageous by the melting snow on the solar system avoided an increase in roof loading It can be done by using an inverter fine electrically conductive wires in to use the solar modules or wafers as heating wires and to feed in "reverse current" to initiate a melting process.

3b shows a solar module frame 10a a recess in a corner 10b through which water from the solar panel 7 can drain away. This is indicated by arrows 25 , which represent the water flow direction, clarifies. 3c shows the recess 10b in the solar module frame 10a increased. The recess 10b of the solar module frame 10a has a width of about 10 mm. Of course, the width may also have other dimensions, as long as it is suitable to remove dirty water. It can be from about 3 mm to 10 mm.

In 3a a solar module assembly is shown, in each case two nested anchoring hollow sections 2 , which are transverse to the direction of the roof slope 23 are laid in the solar module frame 10a enclosed solar modules 7 wear. For aligning the solar modules 7 , which advantageously takes place in an optimal south direction (arrow 24 in the detail view 3b ) are on the anchoring hollow profiles 2 Raising elements arranged (in 3a not shown). Therefore, the solar module frame 10a both in the direction of the roof slope 23 as well as in optimal south direction 24 inclined by means of the uprising element, creating a corner of the solar module 7 becomes the lowest point, at the correspondingly advantageous the recess 10b is arranged to provide optimal water drainage.

In 1a an arrangement of the solar modules is shown with two Aufständerungselementen for a solar module. One incline wedge each 4a is on an anchoring hollow profile 2 , which consists of two nested hollow profiles 2a . 2 B composed, arranged. The anchoring hollow profiles 2 and thus also the sloping wedges 4a are parallel at a distance that is one width of a solar module frame 10a corresponds, arranged, so that in each case two adjacent slope wedges 4a a solar module 7 wear. 1a shows one for protection from weather conditions, especially to protect against wind or storm gusts, at the rear of the solar modules and the slope wedge 4a arranged multifunction profile 6 , which simultaneously acts as a ridge profile element and wind deflector plate. In 1b is the attachment of the slope wedge 4a by means of screws 5 clarified in the anchoring hollow profile.

The slope wedge 4a provides a slope of 15% for the solar module. Of course, the person skilled in the art knows that the inclination can also be chosen differently, an inclination in the range of 4 to 15%, especially of 10% is advantageous.

The anchoring hollow profiles 2 can also be installed perpendicular to the roof slope, as the water flow direction in 2a clarified. The anchoring hollow profiles 2 each consist of an upper anchoring hollow profile 2a and a lower anchoring hollow profile 2 B both under a welding track 3 are laid ( 2 B ). For the solar module arrangement off 2a will now be on every second anchoring hollow profile 2 between the upper anchoring hollow profile 2a and the lower anchoring hollow profile 2 B a cross slope distance profile 9 incorporated, see 2c , The same is present by means of a screw 5 and a corresponding fastening profile secured.

alternative this can be arranged next to each other Anchoring hollow profile to be folded with a larger height dimension as the intermediate one.

As a result, a zigzag arrangement of the solar modules can be obtained, such as 2e makes clear, which together with the roof pitch is alternately the lowest point bottom left or bottom right of the solar module frame, where consequently also the recess 10b located.

The cross section of the anchoring hollow profile 2 B is in 2 B clearly shows the corners formed in the radius 21 that are skewed pages 22 and the flanges 20 ,

An alternative for an anchoring profile 2 shows 2d : Here is a concave, respectively V-shaped edging 27 into the anchoring profile 2 under a welding track 3 lies, introduced. From the solar modules 7 effluent water is therefore advantageously taken up and removed in the weld-sealed V- or U-shaped recess of the anchoring profile.

Also in 2e It is shown that the lower anchoring hollow profile 2 two a solar module 7 supporting anchoring hollow profiles 2 may have a depression which is approximately V- or U-shaped and which provides an excellent water gutter. In contrast, the higher anchoring profile 2 with a convex bulge, or with a roof-shaped recess 28 , which bulges outwards, equipped so that here water and snow are optimally dissipated. According to the arrangement, the condensation water draining off in winter can be drained off over these depressions as far as the gutter or into a gully on the roof in the same way as rainwater in summer.

This is particularly advantageous for resting snow load when the Solar generator is powered by alternating current and its direction of use can be inverted, so the solar panels can be heated, so that oppressive Snow load dissipated and the resulting condensation water is drained off. To renew To prevent freezing, the gutter or the drain on the Roof with a commercially available warm hose be equipped.

The solar modules 7 are in 6a in a longitudinal direction with fastening profiles 10c sealing at the anchoring hollow profiles 2 fixed, and in a transverse direction perpendicular to the anchoring hollow profiles 2 form the fastening profiles 10c a sealing closure between two adjacent solar modules 7 , For a border conclusion provides a closing element 15 , which in the present case is a metal / PU core / metal sandwich element. This is a PU foam round rollers 12 heat-insulating closure sheet 11 arranged.

This closed-sealing arrangement advantageously serves to control the temperature of the solar modules 7 to allow closed space. This is done via a arranged on the ridge exhaust air supply air duct 16 that has multiple air flow controllers 16 ' depending on the weather conditions, warm air in the winter under the solar modules 7 by means of a fan 19 feeds - which can be melted advantageous on the roof, for example, snow or ice - or dissipates the stagnant hot air under the solar panels in summer. The term "fan" includes all devices for air flow supply / discharge, such as axial fans, centrifugal fans, pipe fans so like all conceivable blowers.

The Temperature control of the closed-sealing arrangement can at a internal drainage in another embodiment also over to the higher lying attic arranged arranged exhaust air supply air duct.
