  • Patent number: 9748895
    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.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20130139376
    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?).
