EFFECT OF DYE CONCENTRATION ON PATTERNED LUMINESCENT SOLAR CONCENTRATOR

The present paper investigates the Luminescent Solar Concentrator (LSC) with single and dual waveguide coated perylene dye of various concentrations. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to assess efficiency LSC areas varying from 10 110 cm2, concentration 30 800 PPM. percentage area in waveguides is varied 20 80%. Results indicate that increases up a particular value, thereafter shows decreasing trend. Further, found be increasing decrease size. Experimental simulation results maximum at coverage 50%. Simulation around 9%, while same 6% when examined experimentally.
