Abstract  A new transparent photovoltaic panel composed of a luminescent solar concentrator and Al/BaTiO3/ZnO/Pt ferroelectric solar cells is presented, in which a portion of the incoming solar illumination is converted by the fluorophores to ultraviolet (UV) light which is then absorbed by ZnO. Firstly, the solar cells are simulated using Atlas-Silvaco. Then, the panel is modelled based on the obtained solar cell characteristics. This panel would be of great importance for building integrated photovoltaics domain because of its high transparency.
Keywords:  Atlas-Silvaco      ferroelectric solar cell      luminescent solar concentrator      building integrated photovoltaic
