Abstract: Solar array including solar modules distributed in rows (10), each solar module having a solar collector carried by a single-axis solar tracker (4), a reference solar power plant including a central reference solar module and at least one secondary reference solar module, and a piloting unit adapted for: piloting the angular orientation of the central reference module according to a central reference orientation setpoint corresponding to an initial orientation setpoint, piloting the orientation of each secondary reference module according to a secondary reference orientation setpoint corresponding to the initial orientation setpoint shifted by a predefined offset angle; receiving an energy production value from each reference module; piloting the orientation of the modules, except for the reference modules, by applying the reference orientation setpoint associated to the reference module having the highest production value.
