This chapter gives an overview of the concept of fluorescent concentrators, including the theory, materials for the realization of fluorescent collectors, and the characterization of fluorescent concentrator systems with attached solar cells. It shows that fundamental aspects, such as efficiency limits, can be investigated using an elegant and detailed balance approach. One major finding, both from...
Flat metallic ribbons connect the solar cells in conventional crystalline silicon modules. Acting like a mirror, they reflect incoming radiation out of the module. The area covered by the ribbons (around 3.5%) is mainly lost for photovoltaic conversion. We present colored cell connectors which scatter incident irradiation. Due to subsequent total internal reflection at the glass/air interface, the...
