Light management strategies for luminescent solar concentrators and cooling of photovoltaic modules

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

This presentation will discuss different strategies for light management in photovoltaic systems. Luminescent solar concentrators are building-integrated sunlight-harvesting systems that utilize down-shifting to concentrate sunlight. Performance of these structures is improved with photonic designs that optimally redirect light. In the second, structures are integrated into photovoltaic modules to enhance the energy yield by simultaneously acting as anti-reflection coatings and reflectors of near-infrared light, lowering the operating temperature. We will discuss the design of these structures and the limits to performance.
