1. A plant for producing solar energy comprising:
a support structure formed from at least two support poles aligned fixed to the ground,
said at least two support poles are kept in position by a network of tie rods,
a movement system for receiver devices of solar energy positioned on said at least two support poles arranged in a row, adapted for allowing movement of receiver devices about a first axis and a second axis substantially perpendicular to one another, the movement system comprising:
a rotating main tube about the first axis, to which a plurality of secondary tubes is connected, associated with said main tube, the secondary tubes having the receiver devices fixed to the secondary tubes,
a movement mechanism for a plurality of the primary tubes,
a sustaining and movement support arranged on each support pole of said row, which has a housing that receives the main tube of the movement system and that allows rotation of the main tube about the first axis,
wherein said housing is made on the upper portion of said support and comprises a pair of saddles, arranged on a horizontal plate of the support, which a substantially circular inner profile adapted for housing the primary tubes and for allowing the rotation of the primary tubes in the saddle about the longitudinal axis of the tube, a union between two adjacent tubes takes place between the two adjacent tubes by joining flanges arranged at the end of the main tubes, said support comprising a lower portion, constrained to at least one of the at least two support poles, which has four wings perpendicular to one another each adapted for constraining one of the tie rods to the at least one of the at least two support poles.
