Abstract

Disclosed is a clamping device for attaching a solar panel to a support rail. The clamping device comprises a coupling element (10) having a first part (11) for connection to a support rail and a second part (12) firmly attached to the first part (11), and a clamping element (20) having a first part (21) for connection with the coupling element (10) and a second part (22) for clamping a solar panel between the clamping element (20) and a support rail. The second part (12) of the coupling element (10) comprises two substantially parallel walls (13a, 13b) extending away from the first part (11) of the coupling element (10) and towards the second part (22) of the clamping element (20), the two substantially parallel walls (13a, 13b) forming in between them a space for receiving the first part (21) of the clamping element (20). The clamping device further comprises a fastening element (28) that connects the coupling element (10) to the clamping element (20).
