Recently, one of the authors [2], [3] has shown that coatings of yellow and pink fluorescent coloring agent (FCA) on the solar cell give 17–27% increase in the energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell. The increase is attributable to the reduction of the reflection of the incident light at the surface of FCA. In particular, the reflectivities showed low …

In addition, the technology of LSC can also be employed as spectral converter, shifting wavelengths of the solar spectrum to different ones that better match the regions of better efficiencies of solar cells . However, light reabsorption and fluorescence quenching phenomena limit the PV performances in LSC . To tackle this problem, much ...
