Abstract
In this paper, the luminescent solar concentrator comprises a thick glass with a spectrally-selective optical coating deposited on the bottom surface and an inorganic phosphor layer contacted on the coating surface. A solar cell is contacted to the lateral surface of the thick glass. Spectrally-selective coatings are applied to reflect and redirect the invisible solar radiation to the edges of luminescent solar concentrators. These coatings also transmit the visible solar light and the emission light of the inorganic phosphor. The short-circuit current of the solar cell is measured in a flashing-mode solar simulator with metal-dielectric heat mirrors and dielectric edge filters coated on the thick glass of the luminescent solar concentrators respectively. Experimental results show that the dielectric edge filter will increase the short-circuit current of the solar cell and the invisible light falling on the solar cell in our luminescent solar concentrator. The metal-dielectric coatings, silver-based transparent heat mirrors, will not increase the short-circuit current of the solar cell in our luminescent solar concentrator due to absorption of metal films.
