Abstract

The present invention relates to a solar-tracking photovoltaic module (1) provided with individually orientable photovoltaic cells (4). The so- lar-tracking photovoltaic module (1) is basically constituted by a pla- nar frame (3), which can be installed parallel to the lie of a roof hav- ing a pitch with curved tiles (15) or the lie of a flat roof (22). The pla- nar frame (3), in addition to being hinged along an axis of rotation (9), which can be moved from East to West by means of a main motor re- ducer (2), is provided with a plurality of photovoltaic cells (4), each of which are in turn individually and automatically orientable in an az- imuthal plane, about an axis of rotation (8) of its own, via a secondary motor reducer (5) driving a wormscrew (6) and a plurality of gears (7), with said axes of rotation (8) of the photovoltaic cells (4) perpendicu- lar to the axis (9) of hinging of the frame (3) itself.
