    摘要: System and method for controlling a photovoltaic installation (1), comprising a plurality of solar trackers (8), comprising a plurality of PV panels (9), rotatable around a rotation axis (5), arranged in several parallel rows at a given distance. Each solar tracker (8) has two antennas (2, 3) and at least one tracker controller. An external control unit (4) is connected to the solar trackers (8) of a central head-tracker row (20), which then communicates through a wireless bidirectional network (7), with the sub-tracker rows (30) using only one of the antennas (2, 3). A processing unit in each tracker controller executes an algorithm to determine which antenna (2, 3) is in an optimal position to transmit data or receive orders, requiring data of at least: an angular position and a strength and quality measurement of a radiofrequency signal, of each antenna for each solar tracker (8).
