An airship is equipped with a compact solar generator using concentration to supply the airship in flight with electrical energy from solar radiation. The compact solar generator comprises a first set of row(s) of bifacial photovoltaic solar cells, arranged parallel to a longitudinal central axis of the airship, and a solar radiation concentrator for making solar rays converge towards rear faces of the bifacial solar cells of the first set. The solar radiation concentrator is a second set of one or more local solar radiation concentrator(s), wherein each local concentrator 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.
