description This work present a study of a solar wood dryer in a Moroccan climate. The wood drying process is investigated theoretically by a mathematical model based on actual climate data. The model constantly gives dryer humidity and temperatures (air and walls) as well as wood temperature and moisture contents. For verification, the present drying model is executed within the simulation program with experimental data of wood drying experiments conducted in two dryers located in two different sites. The computational results show a reasonable agreement between the predicted and measured wood moisture content. Este trabajo presenta un estudio de un secador solar de madera en un clima marroquí. El proceso de secado de madera es investigado teóricamente desarrollando un modelo matemático basado en datos climáticos reales. El modelo da a cada momento, la humedad y la temperatura  del secador (aire y paredes) así como la temperatura y la humedad de la madera. Para la verificación experimental, este modelo de secado es introducido en el programa de simulación con datos experimentales de secado de madera de los experimentos realizados en dos secaderos situados en dos lugares diferentes. Los resultados muestran un acuerdo razonable entre la humedad de la madera predicha y medida experimentalmente.
