Solar Energy Flow Channels in an LSC

For the past several years we have been studying the luminescent solar concentrator, (LSC), particularly from the standpoint of what effect the various energy transfer mechanisms will have in a multi-dye LSC. The result is an enumeration of the various channels of energy fl.ow, as well as dividends in the forms of techniques for improving the device performance. These results are now in the process of being published or patented, so here we will give only a brief sketch of the pertinent points.
