1. A system for mounting a solar module comprising:
a longitudinal profile comprising:
at least one stop area which is designed to fasten the longitudinal profile to a transverse profile, wherein the at least one stop area has at least one support surface for support on the transverse profile:
at least one head area which is connected to the at least one stop area via at least one connecting portion, wherein the at least one head area has at least one bearing surface for at least one portion of a module frame of the solar module, wherein the at least one head area has at least two engagement projections which is are configured as points of engagement for a fastening device;
wherein the at least two engagement projections are pointing in opposite directions away from each other, wherein the longitudinal profile has at least two connecting portions, wherein the distance between the connecting portions decreases starting from the stop area in the direction of the head area; and
wherein the at least two engagement portions extend at differing angles from the at least one head area to the at least one stop area.
