Abstract: A method for reducing shading in a photovoltaic plant, said photovoltaic plant includes a plurality of solar trackers, made up of one or more photovoltaic panels, arranged in adjacent parallel rows at a given predetermined distance; an actuator, controlled by a tracker controller, which enables each solar tracker to rotate independently regarding the other solar trackers of the row around said North-South axis; and a control system which includes a communication network enabling a bidirectional communication between each tracker controller and a central control unit which controls the photovoltaic plant. The method uses an algorithm executed by a processor of the central control unit, which determines a tilt angle (?) for each solar tracker in each row inputted in the algorithm, using constant and variable data of each solar tracker, and by selecting either a first (“Morning”) or a second configuration (“Afternoon”).
