    Abstract

    The Quantum Dot Solar Concentrator (QDSC)1 is a novel non-tracking solar concentrator comprising quantum dots (QDs) seeded in materials such as plastics and glasses. It is based on the principle of the fluorescent dye solar concentrator (FSC) 2. A potential application for QDSC systems would be for use as a building fa ade material with photovoltaic (PV) cells attached, converting direct and diffuse solar energy into electricity for use in the building3.
