Device for supporting solar modules, kit, method for manufacturing, and solar module arrangement

A device for supporting solar modules, comprising:

• a base rail;
• an upper support arranged on the base rail for holding an upper end of a solar module, having a first support element and a second support element;
• and
• a lower support arranged on the base rail for holding a lower end of a solar module, wherein the lower support comprises a support component pivotably mounted on the base rail, the support component having a bearing surface for placing the lower end of the solar module;
• a spacer pin being arranged on the bearing surface, the spacer pin being a stop for the solar module;
• and holding claws engaging the base rail;
• wherein the support component is mounted on the base rail so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis, which extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the base rail;
• wherein:
• the first support element and the second support element are movably connected to one another in such a way that the first support element is movable relative to the second support element between a first position and a second position;
• the upper support extends up to a first height above the base rail when the first support element is arranged in the first position;
• and
• the upper support extends up to a second height above the base rail, which is different from the first height, when the first support element is arranged in the second position.
