Abstract
The luminescent solar concentrators are considered a promising photovoltaic solution to improve the energy efficiency of building structures. The main role of these devices is to provide a novel route for harnessing solar radiation with designs in the form of semi-transparent glazing systems that could be used for building-integrated photovoltaic system or interior furniture components. Herein, we reported the fabrication and characterization of thin-film LSC devices formed with different lightguides containing Eosin Y, Safranin O dyes and the two-dye mixture. Under indoor illumination condition, the two-dye mixture LSC has a power conversion efficiency of 0.22%, which is greater than that of the single-dye LSCs. Moreover, the dependency of external solar parameters on incident light power are investigated. The data indicate that the dependency is best described with the two-dye mixture. Ultimately, this study might guide the studies to expand the use of the two-dye mixture thin film LSC devices for indoor applications.
