a left-side strip and a right-side strip, the left-and right-side strips being configured to engage an adjacent side strip and partially prestressed mounting brackets and a water seal, wherein
the upper strip (1) comprises:
an upper strip base (1.1) and a straight right branch (1.2) forming a right angle to the upper base strip (1.1), and a straight left branch (1.3), such that a U-gap is formed in between the left and the right branches; and a sealing groove (1.1.1) in middle of the upper strip base (1.1);
wherein the upper strip base (1.1) further comprises an upper strip base extension (1.1.2) projecting to the left and being prestressed towards the straight left branch (1.3)), thus forming a slightly arcuate end part (1.1.3) which comprises an engaging tip (1.1.4);
the straight left branch (1.3) comprises a straight left branch extension (1.3.1) which is arcuately prestressed towards the straight left branch (1.3) and projecting from the straight left side branch (1.3) substantially in a right angle to the left; and wherein the straight left branch extension (1.3.1) comprises a wavy connecting part (1.3.2) at a connecting point of the straight left branch (1.3) and the straight left branch extension (1.3.1), and a fastening tip (1.3.3) at the end of the straight left branch extension (1.3.1);
the left-side strip (2) comprises:
a left-side strip base (2.1) and a first, a second and a third straight branches (2.2), (2.3), (2.4) projecting in right angles away from the left-side strip base (2.1), forming two U-shaped gaps opening upwards away from the left-side strip base (2.1);
an upper part of the third branch (2.4) has a left-side strip extension (2.4.1) projecting to the left in a right angle against the third branch (2.4) and is prestressed towards the third branch (2.4), and an arcuate end part (2.4.2) comprising a coupling tip (2.4.3);
wherein the left-side strip base (2.1) comprises a left-side strip base extension (2.1.1) projecting to the left and is arcuately prestressed towards the third branch (2.4), and the left-side strip base (2.1) further comprises a wavy connecting part (2.1.2) at a transition point between the left-side strip base (2.1) and the left-side strip extension (2.1.1), and a fastening tip (2.1.3);
the right-side strip (3) comprises:
a right-side strip base (3.1) and a first, a second and a third straight branches (3.2), (3.3), (3.4) projecting in right angles away from the right-side strip base, forming two U-shaped gaps opening downwards away from the right-side strip base (3.1); wherein the right-side strip base (3.1) comprises a right-side strip base extension (3.1.1) projecting to the right and being arcuately prestressed towards the straight branch (3.4), and the arcuate end part (3.1.2) comprises a coupling tip (3.1.3); and wherein the third-branch (3.4) comprises a right-side strip extension (3.4.1) which is prestressed towards the third straight branch (3.4), and the third branch (3.4) is rotated substantially at a right angles arcuately to the right;
wherein the right-side strip extension (3.4.1) comprises a wavy connecting part (3.4.2) at the connecting point of the third branch (3.4) and the right-side strip extension (3.4.1), and a fastening tip (3.4.3) at the end of the right-side strip extension (3.4.1);
one or more first-row mounting brackets (5) comprising:
a stepped main part comprising a straight upper vertical part (5.1), a middle vertical part (5.2 a lower vertical part (5.3), an upper horizontal part (5.4) and a lower horizontal part (5.5), wherein the vertical and horizontal parts are arranged at right angles to each other;
and wherein in the upper vertical part (5.1), a wavy inward prestressed extension (5.1.1) is turned substantially in a right angles to left and is bent upwards in an obtuse angle from approximately at a center; and in the lower vertical part (5.3), a wavy inward biased prestressed extension (5.3.1) is turned substantially to the right in a right angles and is bent downwards from approximately at a-center at in an obtuse angle;
the lower horizontal part (5.5) has openings (5.5.1, 5.5.2) for the addition of optional fastening elements, the opening (5.5.1) configured to allow further positioning and fastening of the first-row fastening bracket (5);
one or more continuing row mounting brackets (6) comprising:
an upper horizontal part (6.3), and a lower horizontal part (6.4), connected by a lower vertical part (6.2, and forming a U-gap; wherein the upper vertical part (6.1) is projecting in a right angle upwards from the upper horizontal part (6.3);
and wherein the upper vertical part (6.1) has a wavy prestressed extension (6.1.1) turned back to the left in a substantially right angle, and bent upwards in an obtuse angle approximately at a center;
and wherein the connection between the upper horizontal part (6.3) and the lower vertical part (6.2) is in a right angles;
and wherein the lower horizontal part (6.4) is rotated substantially in a right angles to the right from a connection point to the lower vertical part (6.2), and wherein the lower horizontal part (6.4) has a stepped prestressed extension (6.4.1) towards the lower vertical part (6.2), an end of the stepped prestressed extension is bent outwards; and wherein the lower horizontal part (6.4) has an opening (6.4.2);
and wherein the upper horizontal part (6.3), the lower horizontal part (6.4) and the lower vertical part (6.2) are connected to a reinforcing part (6.5) following their shape;
in which system the upper strip (1), the left-side strip (2), and the right-side strip (3) are configured to be connected to a framed solar panel (8) by click-on installation; the first row mounting brackets (5) are configured to be connected by click-on installation on a solar panel frame (8.1) for attaching on a batten (9); the continuing row mounting brackets (6) are configured to connect an upper strip attached to a frame of one solar panel frame to an adjacent solar panel frame; and wherein the left-side strip and the right-side strip connected to the framed solar panel are further configured to be connected by a click-on connection to each other; and
