A solar concentrator module () employs a luminescent concentrator material () between photovoltaic cells () having their charge-carrier separation junctions () parallel to front surfaces () of photovoltaic materialof the photovoltaic cells (). Intercell areas () covered by the luminescent concentrator material () occupy from 2 to 50% of the total surface area of the solar concentrator modules (). The luminescent concentrator material () preferably employs quantum dot heterostructures, and the photovoltaic cells () preferably employ low-cost high-efficiency photovoltaic materials (), such as silicon-based photovoltaic materials.
