Cover Story: A novel concept of a spectral selective PV system is developed to partition sunlight into different wavelengths. Since photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) is primarily concentrated between 400 nm and 700 nm, a transparent PV is required to pass light between 400 nm and 700 nm for crop photosynthesis. Meanwhile, high power conversion efficiency (PCE) is also required to generate sufficient electricity. The key considerations include the following: (1) PV must exhibit high transparency ideally between 400 nm and 700 nm for maximum agricultural yield; (2) PV can absorb sunlight in the UV and IR regions for sufficient solar harvesting outside of the PAR window; (3) a photosensitizer in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) can be spectrally tuned to absorb maximum UV and IR photons; and (4) a stack of semi-transparent DSSCs can generate electricity synergistically for enhanced PCE system.
