A concentrating solar module comprising a device (D) for managing the moisture contained in a casing () of the module (M). The device comprises a housing () one of the walls () of which is provided with a window (), a moisture absorbing material provided in the housing (), a shield () provided facing the window () and distant therefrom so as to provide a space for the air flow between the window () and the shield (), the shielding means () protecting the absorbing material from the concentrated solar radiation. The device is attached to a side wall () of the casing () such that said window () faces an aperture () provided inside said side wall () ensuring with said window () a fluid communication with the internal volume of the module and the shielding means () being located inside the solar module (M).

Device for regulating the level of moisture in a concentrating solar module and solar module comprising at least one such device

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.
