Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A luminescent
solar concentrator (LSC) is a device to generate solar power. It uses
luminescent plates either impregnated by luminescent substances or
fluorescent thin films on transparent plates. The plates absorb solar
light which is converted to fluorescence guided to plate edges where it
emerges in a concentrated form. The concentration factor is directly
proportional to the plate surface and inversely proportional to the
plate edges. Such arrangement allows to use small amounts of solar cells
as a result of concentration of fluorescent light. The fluorescent
concentrator is able to concentrate both direct and diffuse light which
is a specially important in cloudy days. The theoretical basis of
concentration performance and other recent advances have been the
subject of research.
