NOVELTY - Mounting system (100) for mounting one or more solar panels, comprises: a mounting frame (10) having a set of elongate mounting members (20) adapted to be arranged and secured spaced apart and substantially parallel to one another; where each of the mounting members (20) is adapted to receive an edge region (E) of a solar panel (S) for fixing same such that each solar panel (S) extends between at least two mounting members (20).    USE - The mounting system and positioning element are useful for mounting one or more solar panels; and for limiting movement of a solar panel (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The mounting system can be employed in open-land installation in which the solar panes may or may not be inclined or pitched at an angle on a supporting structure or mounting frame. Also, the mounting system is highly improved and reduces the risk of damage to the solar panels during the installation procedure.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Mounting system (100) for mounting one or more solar panels, comprises: a mounting frame (10) having a set of elongate mounting members (20) adapted to be arranged and secured spaced apart and substantially parallel to one another; where each of the mounting members (20) is adapted to receive an edge region (E) of a solar panel (S) for fixing same such that each solar panel (S) extends between at least two mounting members (20); characterized by at least one retaining element (40) provided on one or more of the elongate mounting members (20) and adapted to prevent the solar panel (S) from slipping in an axial or longitudinal direction from the mounting members (20) before the solar panel is affixed to it. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are:    (1) positioning element (40, 50) for limiting movement of a solar panel (S) on an elongate mounting member (20) of a mounting system for mounting one or more solar panels on a pitched roof, the positioning element (40, 50) comprising: a body portion (41, 51) presenting an abutment surface (46, 54) for engagement with a peripheral edge (P) of a solar panel (S) and forming a stop or limit to a panel receiving area (21) on the mounting member (20), and locating means adapted to locate the positioning element (40, 50) on the mounting member (20) such that the abutment surface (46, 54) adopts a predetermined orientation with respect to the panel receiving area (21) on the mounting member (20); and    (2) mounting rail (20) for mounting a solar panel to it, comprising: at least one panel seating area (21) formed at an upper side of the mounting rail (20), the panel seating area (21) being adapted to receive and support an edge region (E) of the solar panel (S), where the panel seating area (21) extends longitudinally of the mounting rail (20) and substantially parallel to the edge region (E) of the solar panel (S) to be received thereon; a first channel (22) which extends longitudinally of the mounting rail (20) adjacent the panel seating area (21), the first channel (22) opening to the upper side of the mounting rail (20); characterized in that the first channel (22) is adapted to receive a fastener (61) for securely attaching a clamping member (60, 60') adapted to clamp and securely hold the solar panel (S) fixed in position in the seating area (21) of the mounting rail (20).
