Zusammenfassung:	Embodiments of solutions for PV modules with integrated mounting systems are presented. Application of the systems are found primarily but not solely in commercial and industrial rooftop solar installations. The disclosed solutions allow for a very flexible use of said PV modules with integrated mounting systems in various installation situations, with a focus on demonstrating concepts that show direct applicability of mounting featured for adhesive as well as for ballasted solutions, as well as the combination of both. Support features that enable ergonomic transport and installation are highlighted. Features for alignment, for providing structural strength as well as reliable, strong, yet accommodating interlinkage of PV modules are disclosed. The use of polymeric or fiber reinforced polymeric frames and mounting structures eliminates the need for grounding. Features are presented which a focus on not requiring tooling or hardware along with the installation.
