Abstract

The optical and electrical performances of varied configurations of visually attractive mosaic cubical luminescent solar concentrator photovoltaic (LSC PV) devices have been measured. These new designs of LSC PV devices consist of four cubical lightguides containing commercially available fluorophores with edge- and bottom-mounted silicon solar cells. The 1 cm ³ cubical component LSC PVs are made of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) doped by dyes from 10 to 150 ppm. The lightguides are covered with bifacial silicon solar cells at their edges and/or bottom and connected in series or parallel, depending on the device configuration. In total, 19 different configurations of mosaic LSC PV devices have been experimentally evaluated in this study.
