An airship (102) is equipped with a compact solar generator (104) using concentration to supply said airship (102) in flight with electrical energy from solar radiation. The compact solar generator (104) comprises a first set (122) of row(s) (124, 126, 128, 130, 132) of bifacial photovoltaic solar cells, arranged parallel to a longitudinal central axis (116) of the airship, and a solar radiation concentrator (136) for making solar rays converge towards rear faces of the bifacial solar cells of the first set (122). The solar radiation concentrator (136) is a second set (156) of one or more local solar radiation concentrator(s) (164, 166, 168, 170, 172), in which each local concentrator (164, 166, 168, 170, 172) is paired with a corresponding row of solar cells and comprises a reflector of convex form suitable for making solar radiation converge towards the rear faces of the solar cells of the paired row.
