(57) Abstract

A holding and fastening device ( 1 ) has means for holding at least one photovoltaic module or solar collector module in an alignment suited for the intended use. The device has fastening means for fastening to a roof surface, that allow for a simple and secure attachment of solar modules even to flat roofs while preventing damage to the roof structure and without impairing the leak tightness of the roof. The fastening means have at least one flat support section ( 7 ) with a support surface for the plane-parallel support on the roof surface. The support sections ( 7 ) may be covered with an adhesive panel, preferably a bitumen panel ( 18 ), that can be glued or welded to existing panels on the roof surface. Older roofs can be pretreated for better adhesion.
