NOVELTY - The dye-sensitized crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) module comprises crystalline silicon PV cells that are electrically interconnected to one another and are laminated to a clear glass superstrate, a polymeric encapsulant layer disposed between the PV cells and the glass superstrate, a backing sheet disposed on opposite side of the PV cells, a thin film PV material as part of a material stack, and a light management material configured to absorb solar energy incident on the PV module across a broad frequency spectrum.    USE - Used as a dye-sensitized crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) module.    ADVANTAGE - The dye-sensitized crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) module exhibits improved energy conversion efficiency, and enhanced structural integrity.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The dye-sensitized crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) module comprises crystalline silicon PV cells that are electrically interconnected to one another and are laminated to a clear glass superstrate, a polymeric encapsulant layer disposed between the PV cells and the glass superstrate, a backing sheet disposed on opposite side of the PV cells, a thin film PV material as part of a material stack, and a light management material configured to absorb solar energy incident on the PV module across a broad frequency spectrum and to re-emit a portion of the absorbed solar energy in a narrow frequency spectrum at which the PV cells are efficient at converting photon energy to electrical energy. A collector side of each PV cell faces the glass superstrate. The light management material comprises: a layer disposed on a side of the glass superstrate opposite to the PV cells; a fluorescent dye that is band-compatible with the crystalline silicon PV cells that are active in 800-1100 nm; a layer disposed on a same side of the glass superstrate as the PV cells; a polymer coating having an infusion of an organic dye of a family of UV absorbing fluorescent dyes; an organic dye configured to absorb solar energy at 250-450 nm and re-emit the absorbed energy at 650-850 nm; and a dye-infused polymer that is doped with a material used to adjust a fluorescence response of the dye. The polymeric encapsulant layer comprises a carrier for organic dye. The material used to adjust the fluorescence response of the dye comprises a high-ionic mobility blending agent to maximize a frequency difference between an absorption spectrum of the dye and an emission spectrum of the dye. Side walls of the light management material, the glass superstrate and the polymeric encapsulant layer are covered with a reflective material to direct the reemitted energy in the narrow frequency spectrum towards the PV cells or material.
