Luminescent solar concentrator
open-in-new
<p>A luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) is a device for concentrating <a href="/facts/Radiation/RwMocyeq">radiation</a>, <a href="/facts/Non-ionizing_radiation/7QlATwaR">solar radiation</a> in particular, to produce electricity. Luminescent solar concentrators operate on the principle of collecting radiation over a large area, converting it by <a href="/facts/Luminescence/1QkIWyUj">luminescence</a> (specifically by <a href="/facts/Fluorescence/qsJVT2qP">fluorescence</a>) and directing the generated radiation into relatively small <a href="/facts/Photovoltaic/5Xefaayl">photovoltaic</a> <a href="/facts/Solar_cell/3L814UCC">solar cells</a> at the edges. </p>
