Improving solar cell performance with dye concentrators

Scientists in Poland have sought for the first time to improve PV cell yield with a new type of concentrator based on dyes. The device utilizes a tinted and luminescent acrylic glass known as polymethyl methacrylate, which reportedly increases power generation by 1. 21%. Researchers at the Silesian University of Technology in Poland have investigated the enhancing photovoltaic module performance using dye concentrators, finding that their use could result in an efficiency increase ranging from 0. 05% to 1. 42%. The scientists explained that the dyes utilized for their concentrators have a different ...
