Creative use of BIPV materials: barriers and solutions (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A., Hardy, D., Blekastad, S., Roaf, S., & Richards, B. (2012, September). Creative use of BIPV materials: barriers and solutions. Paper presented at 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Frankfurt, Germany

Inventive use of photovoltaic (PV) materials in architecture can be developed through use of PV in artworks. This is particularly important in increasing the uptake of building-integrated building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), by developing novel...

A silicone host for Lumogen dyes (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hardy, D. A., Kerrouche, A., Roaf, S. C., & Richards., B. S. (2012, April). A silicone host for Lumogen dyes. Presented at 8th Photovoltaic Science, Applications and Technology Conference (PVSAT-8), Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Altering the encapsulant colour in photovoltaic (PV) modules is a straightforward way of achieving greater colour range whilst minimising additional cost in PV systems. Lumogen fluorescent, organic dyes offer a way of adding colour to the encapsulant... Read More about A silicone host for Lumogen dyes.

Ray-Trace Modelling of a Combined Up-Convertor: Luminescent Solar Concentrator (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kerrouche, A., Hardy, D., Ivaturi, A., MacDougall, S., Roaf, S., & Richards, B. (2012, September). Ray-Trace Modelling of a Combined Up-Convertor: Luminescent Solar Concentrator. Presented at 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Frankfurt, Germany

An advanced up-converter (UC) luminescent concentrator model is investigated in this research. The model combines photon management with nanotechnology-based, luminescent materials, to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) solar cells. The con...
