Profile and system for direct mounting of solar cells

A profile for covering a roof with panel-shaped roof coverings, wherein the profile comprises:

• at least one recess through which a screw can be inserted from one upper side to one underside of the profile;
• a longitudinal extension and at least one reception section for a roof covering that extends from the reception section in particular to one side of the profile, or is connected to such a reception section;
• at least one sealing element on the upper side of the profile extending in the direction of the longitudinal extension;
• a limiting element on the underside of the profile designed to engage around a panel-shaped element and thus limit the sliding of the profile onto the panel-shaped element, formed by a spacer section projecting from the underside and a section for engagement behind the panel projecting therefrom in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the profile;
• a protruding supporting section on the underside of the profile that protrudes further from the underside than the limiting element;
• and
• wherein the at least one recess runs in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the profile on the side of the spacer section or the protruding supporting section facing away from a rear engagement section.
