The invention relates to a movable shingle arrangement of rectangular strip modules comprising a covering of solar cells on carrier materials that differ according to choice, such that the shingle arrangement can be arranged in such a way as to allow it to be unfolded, extended or set up as a canopy. The problem addressed is that of providing a novel connecting structure for a movable shingle arrangement, wherein supporting structures for mounting and displacement purposes are formed on an arranged system of rails that can be extended or swung out. The shingle arrangement (1) according to the invention consists of coupled rectangular strip modules (2), which are covered with crystalline and thin-layer solar cells (3) and overlap one another. A system of rails (6, 21) is arranged along at least two outer edges (18). Formed under the system of rails (6, 21) are supporting structures suitable for mounting and guiding purposes. Arranged on the rectangular strip modules (2) is/are one, two or more rows of solar cells (3), which are arranged next to one another and are interconnected in such a way that there is a maximum possible surface coverage with active photovoltaic solar-cell material. In the extended state, the rectangular strip modules (2) overlap like shingles. Along at least one long side (19) of the rectangular strip module (2), a defined perforated structure made up of depressions or through-openings (9) is arranged in such a way that elevations, balls or pins (10) of an adjacently arranged rectangular strip module (2) engage in this perforated structure, and so a mechanically stable connection is produced. The rectangular strip modules (2) are coupled to one another by means of a cable pull or a system of rails (5) in such a way that they can be extended or retracted manually or automatically. In the pulled-in or retracted state, the rectangular strip modules (2) arranged longitudinally or transversely alongside one another lie one above the other in a stack or one alongside the other in a shingle box (23). The rectangular strip modules (2) may be set up for example in an upwardly sloping manner by means of a system of double rails, in order to make an optimum energy yield possible.
