Modelling the performance of fluorescent solar collectors
The theoretical power conversion efficiency of a silicon solar cell with a fluorescent solar collector is believed to reach 90% of the maximum efficiency of an ideal silicon solar given by the Shockley-Queisser detailed balance limit, but the practical efficiencies are significantly lower due to several loss mechanisms. This work presents an analytic model which take the non-ideal coupling between the collector and the solar cell mounted at the edge into consideration and it is shown in good agreement with experimental results.

Abstract

The theoretical power conversion efficiency of a silicon solar cell with a fluorescent solar collector is believed to reach 90% of the maximum efficiency of an ideal silicon solar given by the Shockley-Queisser detailed balance limit, but the practical efficiencies are significantly lower due to several loss mechanisms. This work presents an analytic model which take the non-ideal coupling between the collector and the solar cell mounted at the edge into consideration and it is shown in good agreement with experimental results.
