Holding device for a solar panel on a parapet of a balcony

A solar module (1,2) mounted on a railing (3) of a balcony comprising:

• at least one solar element (51) for converting incident solar radiation into usable energy;
• a frame (52) for stabilizing the solar element (51);
• and
• a mounting bracket for supporting the at least one solar cell element (51) comprising:
• a tethering device (4) for tethering the at least one solar cell element to be supported (2) and integrally formed with the frame (52), wherein the tethering device (4) comprises at least one support (5,6,7,8) for abutment to a railing (3);
• and
• two cross bars (9,10) for bridging a railing width (11), wherein the two cross bars (9,10) are connected to the tethering device (4) and wherein the two cross bars comprise a flange (12,13) each for abutment to a railing (3), wherein the respective flange (12,13) and the at least one support (5,6,7,8) press each other against the railing (3) in opposed directions by means of a movement (14) of the respective flanges (12,13) towards the tethering device (4), wherein the two cross bars are pivotable about a corresponding axis (16) parallel to the railing plane (15) of a railing (3), wherein the axes for each cross bar are spaced apart laterally.
