Abstract
The invention relates to a method for assessing parameters for controlling a solar tracker including modules which include a table of means for processing solar radiation which is movable on means for connecting to the ground, which includes detecting, for each connection means, spatial coordinates of a point for connection with the table; for each module: i. determining a tilt of the table from the determined spatial coordinates; ii. determining spatial coordinates of a series of reference points of the table from the spatial coordinates and the tilt; determining, for each module, positioning parameters of the table relative to directly adjacent tables, from the spatial coordinates of the reference points; and determining parameters for controlling the tracker from the tilt and the relative positioning parameters of the tables of the tracker.
