Abstract

The invention relates to a clouds managing system for a solar field with a plurality of solar collectors is provided, wherein the clouds managing system comprises: A plurality of sensor units for detecting a current cloud position of a cloud and/or a current cloud movement of the cloud, wherein the sensor units are distributed across the solar field and/or distributed across a surrounding area of the solar field; and a cloud management module for collecting cloud data of the sensor units associated to the current cloud position of the cloud and/or associated to the current cloud movement of the cloud, wherein the cloud management-module is designed such, that based on the cloud data a probable cloud movement of the cloud can be predicted. Preferably the cloud management module is designed such, that a mode of operation of at least one of the plurality of the solar collectors can be adjusted as a function of the cloud data. Additionally a method for operating the clouds managing system with following steps is provided: a) Detecting the current cloud position and/or detecting the current cloud movement of a cloud by the sensor units and collecting cloud data of the sensor units associated to the current cloud position of the cloud and/or associated to the current cloud movement of the cloud, by the cloud management-module; and b) Predicting a probable cloud movement, of the cloud by the cloud management module based on the cloud data.
