    摘要: In order to maximize power output production, a solar plant and single axis solar tracker management method is hereby provided. The object of the invention embraces a solar plant and a method accounting for readings being made by field sensors whilst weather forecast data are provided by third parties such as weather forecast companies collecting and broadcasting weather forecast data related to sun irradiance levels and climate conditions affecting sun irradiance levels, like clouds, pollution or fog. Some of the solar trackers of the plant are furnished with irradiance sensors, whilst the solar plant has a plurality of solar sensors arranged along; these solar sensors being configured to measure irradiance on a horizontal plane. The object of the invention envisages an outpost solar tracker configured to take radiation measurements in an inclined plane and, when it is necessary to verify the measurements of the horizontal sensors, they will go to 0° positions.

    摘要: The invention relates to a construction tube (1) which has a circular cross section, wherein the circular cross section comprises two circular stretches (2) and two flat stretches (3) diametrically opposite from each other which define two parallel planes interrupting the circular stretches (2). It enables the advantages of construction tubes with a circular cross section and the advantages of tubes with a polygonal cross section to be combined. The construction tube (1) can be joined to a connectable element, which is preferably selected from another construction tube (1) and an output shaft (30) of a reducer (31) of a solar tracker, in particular, using inner parts (5) and/or clamps (7, 8). The construction tube (1) of the invention has a special application in solar collection systems, making up a torsion shaft (22) of a solar tracker.

    摘要: The object of the invention provides a solution to the problem of connecting electrical systems in solar systems. Said solution is based on a a high power photovoltaic connector of the invention comprising two, preferably cylindrical, bimetallic connectors having a copper end and an aluminium end, being connected to each other by their copper end preferably in the form of a shovel making such a joint by means of tightening elements and to an aluminium conductor by means of its cylindrical aluminium end making such a joint by means of a tightening matrix or screws preferably furnished on the aluminium end. Said tightening matrix compressing the aluminium end and the aluminium conductor together due to deformation; being both the aluminium end and the aluminium conductor made of the same material with identical or very similar mechanical properties what the resulting tightening matrix achieves is to compress the aluminium end of the bimetallic connectors once the aluminium conductor has been inserted into it, so that the assembly is fixed due to the deformation of the aluminium.
