Support frame for supporting solar modules (22) of a freestanding
solar power plant (10), wherein the support frame (18) is designed to be attached to a tracking device (20) of the
solar power plant (10), which has a rotary drive (36, 38) having a rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation (V, H), wherein the support frame (18) has a first longitudinal beam (26) and a second longitudinal beam (28) which are spaced apart from each other perpendicular to their longitudinal axis and extend on both sides of the tracking device (20), characterized in that the support frame (18) has a tension cable arrangement (48) which has a first group of cable sections (50, 52, 66, 68; 54, 56, 70, 72), of which a first and a second cable section (50, 52; 54, 56) extend in a V-shape to one side of the rotor between the rotor of the rotary drive. (36, 38) and a respective first and second connection point (58, 60;62, 64) extend to the first and second longitudinal beams (26, 28) and are fixed to the rotor and to the respective first and second attachment points (58, 60; 62, 64), and wherein a third and a fourth cable section (66, 68; 70, 72) of the first group extend in a V-shape to the opposite side of the rotor between the rotor and a respective third and fourth attachment point (74, 76; 78, 80) on the first and second longitudinal beams (26, 28) and are fixed to the rotor and to the respective third and fourth attachment points (74, 76; 78, 80).
