Herein, we present a prototype of a photovoltaic module that combines a luminescent solar concentrator integrating one‐dimensional photonic crystals and in‐plane CuInGaSe₂ (CIGS) solar cells. Highly uniform and wide‐area nanostructured multilayers with photonic crystal properties were deposited by a cost‐efficient and scalable liquid processing amenable to large‐scale fabrication. Their role is to both maximize light absorption in the targeted spectral range, determined by the fluorophore employed, and minimize losses caused by emission at angles within the escape cone of the planar concentrator. From a structural perspective, the porous nature of the layers facilitates the integration with the thermoplastic polymers typically used to encapsulate and seal these modules. Judicious design of the module geometry, as well as of the optical properties of the dielectric mirrors employed, allows optimizing light guiding and hence photovoltaic performance while preserving a great deal of transparency. Optimized in‐plane designs like the one herein proposed are of relevance for building integrated photovoltaics, as ease of fabrication, long‐term stability and improved performance are simultaneously achieved. © 2015 The Authors.

基于集成纳米结构光子晶体的发光太阳能集中器的透明太阳能模块的设计和实现。

在这里，我们提出了一个光伏模块的原型，该模块结合了集成一维光子晶体和面内CuInGaSe ₂的发光太阳能聚光器（CIGS）太阳能电池。具有光子晶体特性的高度均匀且广域的纳米结构多层通过适合大规模制造的经济高效且可扩展的液体工艺沉积而成。它们的作用是使目标光谱范围内的光吸收最大化，该目标光谱范围由所采用的荧光团确定，并使平面聚光器的逃逸锥内某个角度的发射引起的损耗最小。从结构的角度来看，这些层的多孔性质促进了与通常用于封装和密封这些模块的热塑性聚合物的整合。对模块几何形状以及所使用的介电镜的光学特性进行明智的设计，可以优化光导，从而优化光伏性能，同时保留大量透明度。像本文中建议的那样，优化的平面内设计对于构建集成光伏具有重要意义，因为同时实现了易于制造，长期稳定性和改进的性能。©2015作者。光伏技术的进步：研究与应用，John Wiley＆Sons Ltd.出版。
