    摘要: Disclosed is a method of controlling a cluster of solar trackers in which a plurality of solar trackers exist as a cluster shape. The method includes detecting, by each of the cluster of solar trackers, one or more of power generation amount information, altitude information, and azimuth information thereof and transmitting the detected power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information to a server, calculating, by the server, average power generation amount information, average altitude information, or average azimuth information using the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information of each of the cluster of solar trackers, and determining whether the cluster of solar trackers is normal by comparing the calculated average power generation amount information, average altitude information, or average azimuth information with the power generation amount information, altitude information, or azimuth information detected by each of the cluster of solar trackers.
