Abstract
The present invention relates to a photovoltaic facility () comprising a solar tracker () and at least one square or rectangular photovoltaic panel () mounted on the solar tracker (), this solar tracker () enabling the inclination of the photovoltaic panel () to be varied with respect to the horizontal, so that two opposite edges of the photovoltaic panel, referred to as horizontal edges (), are always horizontal whatever the inclination of the photovoltaic panel (). This facility is characterised in that it comprises at least one gutter () for recovering rainwater, in that this gutter () is mounted along one of the two horizontal edges () of the photovoltaic panel () using at least two anchoring devices (), to which it is 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 ().
