A supporting arrangement designed and arranged to support solar modules at a distance from a surface covered by these solar modules, with at least two load-bearing channel profiles (20, 30) running parallel to one another, which are each provided with at least one load-bearing web (24, 34), which in turn has a first longitudinal side (21, 31) and a second longitudinal side (22, 32), wherein a plurality of solar modules are arranged between the supporting webs (24, 34) of the at least two supporting channel profiles (20, 30), which solar modules are located next to one another along their longitudinal sides in the position of use, with a plurality of rung parts, which each extend between the at least two parallel carrier channel profiles (20, 30) and each at least indirectly support frame pieces of two adjacent solar modules, characterised in that the supporting arrangement further comprises: a plurality of holding elements, which are held and supported such that they can be detachably connected to a first longitudinal side of the supporting web of a first supporting channel profile of the at least two supporting channel profiles (20, 30), wherein a respective associated rung part receives at its first end in an engagement section a free end of a holding element on the end face; and a plurality of locking elements, each of which can be arranged or is arranged on a second end of one of the crossbar parts that faces the second longitudinal side of a supporting web of a second supporting channel profile of the at least two supporting channel profiles (20, 30), wherein each of the locking elements is designed to be movable along the second end of the respective crossbar part in a guide so as to be movable along the longitudinal extent thereof and to be connected to the second longitudinal side of the supporting web of the second supporting channel profile by displacement along the guide in such a way that the ends of the solar modules facing the second supporting channel profile are held and locked together with the end of the crossbar parts on the supporting web of the second supporting channel profile. with at least two load-bearing channel profiles (20, 30) running parallel to one another, which are each provided with at least one load-bearing web (24, 34), which in turn has a first longitudinal side (21, 31) and a second longitudinal side (22, 32), wherein a plurality of solar modules are arranged between the supporting webs (24, 34) of the at least two supporting channel profiles (20, 30), which solar modules are located next to one another along their longitudinal sides in the position of use, with a plurality of rung parts, which each extend between the at least two parallel carrier channel profiles (20, 30) and each at least indirectly support frame pieces of two adjacent solar modules, characterised in that the supporting arrangement further comprises: a plurality of holding elements, which are held and supported such that they can be detachably connected to a first longitudinal side of the supporting web of a first supporting channel profile of the at least two supporting channel profiles (20, 30), wherein a respective associated rung part receives at its first end in an engagement section a free end of a holding element on the end face;
