摘要：

Significant improvements in the efficiency of solar cells by combination with luminescent up- or down-converters have recently been predicted theoretically. Here, we extend the theoretical analysis of the limiting efficiency of the up-conversion (UC)-system to realistic Airmass spectra and analyse the spectral robustness of the UC-system. We also present initial experimental results from prototypes involving bifacial silicon solar cells with UC-phosphors attached to the rear surface, and discuss the possibility of realizing efficient UC with low-band-gap solar cells in combination with a light emitting diode.
