Abstract: A solar module in a concentrating solar system including: a box including a top wall, formed from an optical system, and walls; at least one photovoltaic cell placed in the box; and at least one humidity management device. At least one first wall among the walls includes a principal part contained in a plane. The humidity management device includes a housing defined between the first wall and a cover fixed to the first wall including an occultation part and an inner part forming an air film at the occultation part. A moisture-absorbing material is placed in the housing, at least part of the moisture-absorbing material is located on one side of the plane containing the occultation part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a concentrated-photovoltaic panel (1), said panel (1) including: a back surface (11) designed to hold a series of photovoltaic modules (20) in position; a front surface (12); a lower part (13a, 13?a) of a mounting (13, 13?) attached to the front surface, said mounting (13, 13?) being designed to hold a series of light-energy concentration systems (30) in position, such that each concentration system (30) is aligned with at least one associated photovoltaic module (20); and lateral walls (16) connecting the back surface (11) and the front surface (12) so as to define a closed box (10); the method being characterized in that the respective position of the photovoltaic modules (20) is fixed in space with respect to the lower part (13a) of the mounting (13, 13?), when the front surface (12), the lateral walls (16) and the back surface (12) of the box (10) are assembled with the photovoltaic modules (20) and the lower part (13a, 13?a) of the mounting (13, 13?).

Abstract: Interfering double images that occur with curved windshields made from laminated glass during night driving in transmission and with head-up displays in reflection can be reduced by a wedge-shaped thermoplastic intermediate film. The wedge-angle profile required for compensation of double images is determined locally as a function of pane shape and installation situation. If the vehicle has a head-up display system, the wedge-angle progression can be determined in the HUD field such that double images are prevented there in reflection. However, outside the HUD field, a wedge-angle progression that compensates double images in transmission is selected. The specifically adapted wedge-angle profile enables better compensation of double images than is possible with a film with a constant wedge angle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition suitable for printing, via screen printing, a sheet of polyvinyl butyral intended to be part of a laminated glazing unit, comprising at least one polyvinyl butyral resin having a molecular weight at most equal to 50 000 and at least one solvent; a process for printing, via screen printing, a sheet of polyvinyl butyral intended to be part of a laminated glazing unit, characterized in that a composition defined previously is applied to the sheet, through a screen-printing screen and in that the thickness of the wet layer of composition applied compensates for the roughness of the sheet; a sheet of polyvinyl butyral intended to be part of a laminated glazing unit and printed, via screen printing, using a composition defined previously; a laminated glazing unit comprising one such sheet of polyvinyl butyral; and an application of such a laminated glazing unit as motor vehicle glazing, at least one portion of the periphery of which is opacified, in particular darkened.
