Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleImpact of the Edges of a Backside Diffusive Reflector on the External Quantum Efficiency of Luminescent Solar Concentrators: Experimental and Computational ApproachMauro Pravettoni, Cristina S. Polo Lòpez, Robert P. KennyLuminescent Solar Concentrators (LSCs) have been proposed in the 1970s as cheap planar concentrators for residential applications and nowadays represent a novel idea with excellent perspectives for building integration photovoltaics. The interest in LSCs has increased in the last years, due to improved stability of luminescent dyes, the introduction of quantum dots and nanorods and the overall reported increase in … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2016 · 8,364 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsCritical Retrospect on Conventional and Luminescent Solar Concentration DevicesHamzah Abdul-Rahman, Chen WangProblem statement: Conventional solar concentrators are only sensitive for the beam radiation and they function poorly in overcast sky conditions. Even under a clear sky condition, trackers are always needed for conventional solar concentrators. Static concentrators always come with a poor concentration rate without a tracker and the light concentrated by normal Luminescent Solar Concentrators (LSC) could not be transported … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2010 · 6,924 accessesView PDF Cite
