Moving coplanar components towards 3d surfaces

Hi,

I try to model a solar plant on a particular location.
Here is my situation :
- i have a first layer with many ( >5000) identical components (solar panel structures), placed on an horizontal plane. Their position has been set before. (I designed it according to a 2D map of the site)
- I have a layer with the topographic lines of the site where I want to place the plant. These lines are in 3D. I created surfaces from it thanks to the tools "From Contours" in Sandbox.

I would like to move each of my components to fit the topographic surfaces. It is easy for one particular component : I select a bottom corner, I force a vertical (blue) move and put my cursor to the corresponding surface. If I want to make it perfect, I need to rotate it to fit the angle of the surface.

So it is easy for one component but I have thousands of them.

My question is : is there a way to make it automatic ? I would select all my components, then select the "**Magic***" tool, select the layer with the surfaces, and that would be done.

Thank you very much for your help !
