Abstract

Tracking device for solar modules, comprising a series of posts, each oriented along a vertical axis, wherein the series extends along a longitudinal axis, and at least one tilting rail, oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis, on which at least one solar module can be arranged, and which can be pivoted about the longitudinal axis for tracking the solar module, characterised in that the at least one tilting rail is connected to at least one post by at least one cross-beam, wherein the at least one cross-beam can be rotated to pivot the tilting rail around a centre of rotation, and wherein the at least one cross-beam is arranged a distance from the centre of rotation.
