Abstract

We proposed an experimental method for the establishing of optimum efficiency for PMMA doped with ORACET 6 GF. We determined absorption spectra, emission spectra, and quantum efficiency for different concentrations. Spectral distribution of solar radiation for different air masses, spectral response of solar cells, and fluorescent characteristics allow determination of dye optimum concentration and of concentrator efficiency.
