A drying apparatus (10) for silicon-based electronic circuits (30), in particular photovoltaic cells, comprises a drying oven (20) having a drying chamber (46) provided with an entrance aperture (19), through which the silicon-based electronic circuits (30) are introduced therein so as to be subjected to at least a drying cycle, and with an exit aperture (21), through which the silicon-based electronic circuits (30) are removed and in which drying chamber (46) a drying means (50) is disposed, in order to dry the silicon-based electronic circuits (30); and movement means (14) in order to move the silicon-based electronic circuits (30) inside the drying chamber (46) in a direction of advance (X), between the entrance aperture (19) and the exit aperture (21). The movement means (14) comprises closed ring means (22) on which a plurality of support members (12) are able to be mounted, each of which comprises a plurality of supporting elements (16) disposed one on top of the other and on each of which one of said silicon-based electronic circuits (30) is able to be positioned. The actuation means (25) is connected to the closed ring means (22) so as to impart to the support members (12) a determinate speed of advance inside the drying chamber (46), correlated to the duration of the drying cycle.
