A luminescent solar concentrator with 7.1% power conversion efficiency (2008)
Slooff, L.H, Bende, E.E., Burgers, A.R., Budel, T., Pravettoni, M., Kenny, R.P, ...
The Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) consists of a transparent polymer plate, containing luminescent particles. Solar cells are connected to one or more edges of the polymer plate. Incident light...
Luminescent solar concentrators - A review of recent results (2008)
Sark, W.G. Van, Barnham, K.W., Slooff, L.H., Chatten,A.J., Büchtemann, A., Meyer, A., ...
Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) generally consist of transparent polymer sheets doped with luminescent species. Incident sunlight is absorbed by the luminescent species and emitted with high...
OPTIMIZING METALIZATION PATTERNS FOR YEARLY YIELD (2007)
A. R. Burgers, J. A. Eikelboom
Normally solar cells are optimized for maximum efficiency at standard test conditions. It is recognized ever more widely that cells and modules should be optimized for maximum yield at their...
I-V performance and stability study of dyes for luminescent plate concentrators (2007)
Kinderman, R., Slooff, L.H., Burgers, A.R., Bakker, N.J., Büchtemann, A., Danz, R., ...
In this paper both the performance and stability of luminescent flat plate concentrator (LFPC) plates in combination with mc-Si photovoltaic cells are studied. It is shown that the electrical current...
Slooff, L.H., Kinderman, R., Burgers, A.R., Bakker, N.J., Büchtemann, A., ...
One of the major loss mechanisms in state of the art photovoltaic cells is spectral loss resulting from inefficient use of ultraviolet photons and the lack of absorption of infrared photons by the...
