Abstract

Photovoltaic integrated luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) can be embedded in modern buildings to serve as power-generation units. In this Letter, we demonstrate and develop a Monte Carlo ray-tracing model and a numerical description for the performance and loss evaluation of LSCs based on colloidal quantum dots. The performance differences between bulk and thin-film LSCs are systematically analyzed at different sizes and concentrations. It is found that large-area thin-film LSCs generally perform better, which is attributed to the suppression of scattering and the retention of quantum yield by this structure with twice the performance of bulk LSCs.
