Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for monitoring a vehicle convoy containing at least two vehicles (1.1, 1.2), wherein the at least two vehicles (1.1, 1.2) in the vehicle convoy are each formed with a communication system, which is configured to use vehicle-to-vehicle communication to send and/or receive information, and a measuring apparatus, which is configured to capture values for at least one kinematic state parameter. The method involves kinematic state parameters being ascertained and regulated for at least one pair of vehicles (1.1, 1.2) in the vehicle convoy, which pair is formed by a first vehicle (1.1) in the vehicle convoy and a second vehicle (1.2) in the vehicle convoy arranged directly after the first vehicle (1.1) in the vehicle convoy, by means of allocated time and frequency resources.

Abstract: Solar tracker (1) for the orientation of solar panels (2), which is supported on a base (3) and comprises a holding structure (4) for the solar panels (2). It comprises an intermediate support element (5) to which the holding structure (4) of the panels (2) is articulated. The two movements of the holding structure (4) of the panels (2) are respectively produced by: a) a first mechanism that produces a flat movement, with three mobile rigid elements—one central (6) and two lateral (7). The rigid lateral elements (7) can be moved by means of linear actuators (10). The intermediate support element (5) can be on one of the mobile rigid elements (6, 7) or be coincident with it, and b) a second mechanism that acts on the holding structure (4) and is located on the intermediate support element (5); it comprises means to make the holding structure (4) rotate around an axis integral with the intermediate support element (5).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method including spraying steam in the form of multiple jets with a pressure and a temperature depending on the characteristics of the solar panel to be cleaned and of the impurities to be removed and at an angle that can be adjusted relative to the panel. The method can be combined with gentle cleaning using elements contacting the surface of the panels to be cleaned. The device includes a self-propelled vehicle, a water tank feeding a system for treating and purifying the water prior to feeding a steam generator, with a means for regulating the output temperature and pressure of the steam, which enters a system for distribution to the steam diffusers, which are coupled on a support associated with a cantilevered structure of the self-propelled vehicle.
