Abstract :
A ray tracing simulation has been developed for luminescent solar concentrators. By fitting to measurements on the devices, parameters such as the quantum efficiency of the dyes employed can be determined. Once a complete description of the device is available it becomes clear where the losses originate from and directions for the improvement of the devices can be given
