Molecular based concepts offer the potential of low materials and processing costs in photovoltaics (PV), which is especially interesting if high efficiencies can be obtained. To accomplish high efficiencies a better utilisation of the solar spectrum is of high importance. The concept of two photon absorption in dye sensitized solar cells and full spectrum aspects of luminescent flat plates concentrators are being discussed in this paper. The two photon dye cell can be compared to a tandem solar cell on the molecular level. The luminescent concentrator offers the potential to employ full spectrum utilization in combination with static concentration of both direct and diffuse light.
