Abstract
A solar tracker having at least one post (7) for fixing to the ground at least one solar panel (8) that rotates by action of a drive, which has a rotation transmission support (1) on which the solar panel (8) is supported and which is coupled to the post (7) in such a way that it slides along a horizontal guide rail (2) fixed to the post (7) by a guide element (3), and the rotation transmission support (1) rolling on a rolling contact element (4) fixed to the post (7) to establish the rotation of the solar panel (8) in both directions.
