A photovoltaic module is disclosed. The photovoltaic module comprises an array of shingled tiles disposed between a transparent front substrate and a back substrate, wherein the array of shingled tiles comprises a plurality of photovoltaic tiles in electrically contact with each other and positioned in overlapping rows. Each photovoltaic tile comprises a front metallic contact layer disposed on an epitaxial film stack disposed on a back metallic contact layer disposed on a support carrier layer. The photovoltaic module includes at least one busbar in electrical contact with the array of shingled tiles and disposed between the front and back glass substrates. The photovoltaic module also includes an encapsulation layer between the front and back glass substrates.

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.
