(WO9737091-A1)      The carrier plate (10,110) supports a photovoltaic element (40,140) via its upper surface which is provided with a support (12,112) at the roof ridge side. This support overlaps the roof ridge side of an underlying carrier plate (110) at the gutter side.    The support has a height which holds the overlapping part of the upper carrier plate (10) above the level of the surface of the photovoltaic element (140) supported by the underlying carrier plate (110). The support is provided as a separate element.    ADVANTAGE -   Allows photovoltaic elements to be fitted to existing roof without modification.
