Building integrated photovoltaics is a promising strategy for solar technology, in which luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) stand out. Challenges include the development of materials for sunlight harvesting and conversion, which is an iterative optimization process with several steps: synthesis, processing, and structural and optical characterizations before considering the energy generation figures of merit that requires a prototype fabrication. Thus, simulation models provide a valuable, cost-effective, and time-efficient alternative to experimental implementations, enabling researchers to gain valuable insights for informed decisions. We conducted a literature review on LSCs over the past 47 years from the Web of ScienceTM Core Collection, including published research conducted by our research group, to gather the optical features and identify the material classes that contribute to the performance. The dataset can be further expanded systematically offering a valuable resource for decision-making tools for device design without extensive experimental measurements.

As large‐area and optically transparent photon harvesting devices, luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are promising candidates for building‐integrated photovoltaics owing to their high transmittance and resistance to shadowing effects existing in solar cells. Up to now, there are still many challenges in the practical application of LSCs: 1) Reabsorption loss is inevitable during photoluminescence transmission due to indirect illumination of solar cells in LSC system. 2) Satisfactory energy harvesting cannot be achieved in rainy conditions due to the substantial attenuation of the incident light intensity. 3) Evaporation residue on the surface of LSCs leads to device performance degradation. Pioneering researches and feasible strategies for reabsorption loss suppression, energy harvesting in rainy days as well as self‐cleaning property are still lacking demonstration. In this work, reabsorption loss is suppressed based on advanced structural LSCs with universally applicable optical spacer layer. Then the integrated LSCs with droplet‐based electricity generator (DEG) are proposed for the first time. Such DEG‐LSCs not only realize synergistic harvesting of solar and raindrop energy, but also possess self‐cleaning properties. Finally, a self‐powered temperature and humidity sensing system is designed and demonstrated to provide feasible ideas for the practical application of DEG‐LSCs in self‐powered intelligent buildings.

Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are complementary sunlight collectors for photovoltaics (PVs). Emissive fluorophores embedded in a transparent waveguide collect solar radiation over a large area and convert it into luminescence directed to the PV cells that frame the waveguide's edges. Among various fluorophores, perovskite nanocrystals (PNCs) show considerable potential for LSCs thanks to their wide size/composition/shape tunable broad absorption spectrum ranging from UV to near‐infrared, which significantly overlaps with the solar spectrum. They also feature high brightness with a photoluminescence quantum yield of up to 100% and ease of fabrication through wet chemistry approaches. In addition, PNCs can be engineered to minimize the absorption/emission overlap, which is the key to suppressing energy losses caused by reabsorption. Here, the structure and properties of PNCs and then correlate them with LSC performance is presented. The synthesis of PNCs using wet‐chemistry approaches and summarize the latest developments of PNCs‐based LSCs, categorized by the engineering strategies of PNCs and the design of the LSC configurations is critically reviewed. Finally, it is described major challenges and perspectives for future work, outlining the rational design, synthesis, PNC loading, surface engineering, and machine‐learning‐based tuning of PNC‐LSC.
