Using results by D. Witte [35] on the superigidity of lattices in solvable Lie groups we get a new proof of a recent remarkable result obtained by D. Guan [15] on the de Rham cohomology of a compact solvmanifold, i.e., of a quotient of a connected and simply connected solvable Lie group by a lattice . This result can be applied to compute the Betti numbers of a compact solvmanifold even in the case that the solvable Lie group and the lattice do not satisfy the Mostow condition.
