Claim 5:
6. A solar tracker controller comprising:
a gateway associated therein,
the gateway comprising in turn a plurality of connection means directed to connect to respective communication channels, said solar tracker controller being configured to carry out the method of
assigning each solar tracker controller, a unique serial number comprising:
ID, and
position on the solar plant, of the solar tracker associated to said solar tracker controller; so that the gateways have access to said unique serial number,

the gateways generating at least one wireless communication network which is identified by a specific network SSID through which the gateway broadcasts configuration parameters to the solar tracker controllers,
the solar tracker controller scanning communication channels to look for a wireless communication network which is identified by a specific network SSID,
the solar tracker controller generating a list of available wireless communication network which is identified by a specific network SSID to which each solar tracker controller may connect, said listing being sorted in order of priority depending on at least one of: receiving power and signal quality,
each solar tracker controller connecting to the first network listed on the list and sending data regarding the solar tracker controller status as commissioned or non-commissioned along with solar tracker ID data,
the gateway receiving data of a solar tracker as being available for commissioning and sending associated configuration data to the solar tracker controller of said solar tracker available for commissioning, said configuration data including information of auxiliary gateways to connect to in case a gateway to which the tracker controller is connected to fails,
receiving on the solar tracker controller information comprising the associated configuration parameters,
sending an end of commissioning procedure from gateways to the solar tracker controllers, and
resetting the solar tracker controller.
