AuREUS-Inspired Luminescent Solar Concentrator: Agricultural waste derived Materials, Spectral Conversion and Sustainability Challenges

Author(s) Dr. Lisy Mary Thomas
Country India
Abstract The growing demand for low-carbon electricity, together with the environmental concerns associated with fossil-fuel use and agricultural-residue management, has stimulated interest in multifunctional solar-energy technologies. Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) provide a potential approach by absorbing selected portions of incident solar radiation, re-emitting the energy at longer wavelengths, and guiding the emitted light towards photovoltaic cells through total internal reflection. Within this framework, AuREUS-inspired systems propose the use of luminescent compounds derived from agricultural and biological waste as biomass-based materials for spectral conversion and solar concentration. This review examines the operating principles, material requirements, optical processes, architectural applications, environmental implications, and research challenges associated with AuREUS-type technologies, with particular emphasis on photoluminescence, Stokes shift, spectral conversion, diffuse-light operation, optical losses, photostability, and host-matrix compatibility. Their potential relevance to agrivoltaics and building-integrated photovoltaics is also discussed, particularly the need to balance electricity generation with the transmission of photosynthetically useful radiation and the requirements of plant growth. Agricultural residues may offer renewable feedstocks for luminescent materials; however, their practical suitability depends on pigment composition, extraction efficiency, optical stability, durability, scalability, and life-cycle performance. The review further distinguishes ultraviolet down-conversion from direct electrical power generation and highlights the need for standardised characterisation, long-term testing, techno-economic analysis, and field validation. Overall, AuREUS-type systems represent an emerging research direction in biomass-derived luminescent and spectrally selective solar technologies rather than a commercially validated replacement for conventional photovoltaic modules.
Keywords AuREUS technology; luminescent solar concentrators; agricultural waste derived materials; spectral conversion; agrivoltaics; sustainability.
