    摘要: Solar reflector material for use with solar panels configured to receive solar radiation and to convert the solar radiation within a first wavelength range to electrical energy. Embodiments comprise a first, fluoropolymer layer that reflects and diffuses the received solar radiation within the first wavelength range. The fluoropolymer layer may comprise one or more of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), expanded PTFE (ePTFE), polypropylene or polyethylene. Also disclosed are solar energy collection systems comprising one or more bifacial solar panels and the solar reflector material as an albedo reflector.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are devices and methods for photonic energy storage and on-demand photonic energy discharge. The devices and methods disclosed herein may provide improved temporal control over photonic energy discharge as compared to conventional fluorescent or phosphorescent materials. The devices and methods disclosed herein may provide mechanisms for on-demand photonic energy which may be used to generate light or may converted to electrical energy. A device of this disclosure may comprise a phosphorescent material and a fluorescent material. The phosphorescent material may be configured to absorb photonic energy. The phosphorescent material may store the photonic energy, or the phosphorescent material may transfer the photonic energy to the fluorescent material. The fluorescent material may be configured to emit photonic energy, which may be converted to electrical energy.

    摘要: A structure for growing plants and/or algae and for capturing solar energy including an enclosure having a roof and optionally one or more walls, a solar energy concentrator on at least part of the structure, an energy conversion device adjacent to at least one peripheral edge of the solar energy concentrator, and one or more supports or surfaces configured to enable the plants and/or algae to receive at least some of the solar energy. The solar energy concentrator absorbs or collects at least a first wavelength of light and allows at least a second wavelength of light different from the first wavelength of light to pass through (e.g., to the plants and/or algae). The solar energy concentrator comprises one or more absorbers or fluorophores selected from phycobiliproteins, fucoxanthins and luminescent molecules and materials. The energy conversion device is configured to receive and convert light emitted and/or collected by the solar energy concentrator to electrical or thermal energy.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a photovoltaic module comprising a photon absorbing material for absorbing electromagnetic radiation. The photon absorbing material comprises solar cells and a glass material. The photovoltaic module also comprises an anti-reflective coating that has anti-reflective properties in a first wavelength range and reflective properties in a second wavelength range. The anti-reflective coating is positioned over the glass material. The anti-reflective coating comprises a layered structure that has layers that together have an out-of-sequence or non-graded refractive index profile. The present disclosure also provides a selective reflector comprising a layer of a glass material that is largely transmissive for visible light and comprises dopants that absorb incident electromagnetic radiation in a wavelength range at a centre wavelength, which is within a wavelength range at which the atmosphere of the Earth absorbs electromagnetic radiation strongly and more strongly than in an adjacent wavelength range. The refractive index of the glass material at and around the centre wavelength is altered by the strong absorption of the dopants such that the reflectance of the glass material within at least a portion of the first wavelength range is increased if that portion of the first wavelength range is adjacent to the centre wavelength.

    摘要: Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Leiten von Licht, die sich insbesondere zum Sammeln von diffusem Licht eignet, und ein Herstellungsverfahren für die Vorrichtung. Die Vorrichtung ermöglicht ein Verfahren zum Sammeln von Licht, das diffuses Licht sein kann, insbesondere Sonnenlicht, und Emittieren des Lichts nur parallel zu einer Ebene. Entsprechend betrifft die Erfindung auch ein Verfahren zum Konzentrieren von Licht, insbesondere von diffusem Sonnenlicht, wobei das emittierte Licht in parallelen Ebenen abgestrahlt wird. Das emittierte Licht wird bevorzugt auf ein photovoltaisches Element gerichtet.
