Abstract:
To better distribute rainwater on crops located under photovoltaic panels or close to them and on the other hand to avoid problems of drought for these crops.SOLUTION: A photovoltaic facility comprises a solar tracker (2) enabling the inclination of a photovoltaic panel (3) to be varied with respect to the horizontal, so that two opposite edges of the photovoltaic panel, referred to as horizontal edges (31), are always horizontal whatever the inclination of the photovoltaic panel (3) is. This facility comprises at least one gutter (4) for recovering rainwater, this gutter (4) mounted along one of the two horizontal edges (31) of the photovoltaic panel (3) using at least two anchoring devices (5), the gutter (4) suspended so that it can oscillate, under the action of its own weight, about a horizontal axis of rotation (Y-Y'), so as to remain horizontal whatever the inclination of the photovoltaic panel (3) is.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
