The invention relates to the power engineering, namely to plants for sun energy conversion into the electric one.The self-orienting solar plant includes a sun-energy collector, joined therewith mechanisms for orientation in horizontal and vertical directions, as well as a system for orientation mechanisms control, providing the continuous collection of the sun energy during a whole sunny day, in an optimum regime, irrespective of the geographic latitude and season. Novelty consists in that the sun-energy collector is made in the form of a solar panel 5, and each of the orientation mechanisms contains a servomotor 6 and a precession double-reduction gear 9, including a crankshaft, onto which there are installed two double-ring satellite gears, installed onto its inclined sectors, the slope angles of which are opposed to each other and are equal to the precession angle, a central double-wheel gear, self-installing in axial direction, placed between the satellite gears, two lateral single-wheel gears, one of which is fixed and it is placed from the end of the servomotor, and the other is mobile and it is joined by means of a unilateral coupling with the driving shaft, the central double-wheel gear being joined with the driving shaft by means of another unilateral coupling opposite to the first one. Inventia se refera la energetica, si anume la instalatiile pentru transformarea energiei solare in electrica.Instalatia solara cu autoorientare include un receptor de energie solara, legate cu acesta, mecanisme de orientare in directie orizontala si verticala, precum si un sistem de dirijare a mecanismelor de orientare, care asigura o receptionare incontinua a energiei solare pe parcursul unei intregi zi insorite, intr-un regim optim, indiferent de latitudinea geografica si anotimp. Noutatea consta in aceea ca receptorul de energie solara este executat in forma de panou solar 5, iar fiecare din mecanismele de orientare contine un servomotor 6 si un reductor precesional in doua trepte 9, care include un arbore manivela, pe care sunt montati doi sateliti cu doua coroane instalati pe sectoarele lui inclinate, unghiurile de inclinare ale carora sunt opuse unul fata de altul si egale cu unghiul de precesie, o roata dintata centrala cu doua coroane cu autoanstalare in directie axiala, amplasata intre sateliti, doua roti dintate laterale cu o coroana, una dintre care este fixa si este plasata din partea servomotorului, iar cealalta este mobila si legata prin intermediul unui cuplaj unilateral cu arborele conducator, totodata, roata dintata centrala cu doua coroane este legata cu arborele conducator prin intermediul unui alt cuplaj unilateral, amplasat opus primului.
