摘要：

The luminescent solar concentrator could find application as an alternative way of generating electricity from sunlight in urban settings by virtue of its aesthetic and performance qualities. In particular, it has long been stated that the device functions equally well in direct and diffuse light, especially useful in the built environment but with little verification of this statement. In this work, we demonstrate the validity of this claim by comparing the performance of the luminescent solar concentrator in outdoor conditions ranging from clear to cloudy. We offer the explanation of an altered illumination spectrum to account for the increased efficiency of the device in overcast conditions. We also show the effect of gluing cells to the lightguide edge and conjecture on the differing impact the gluing has under direct and indirect sunlight. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
