Abstract: A solar panel is described, the solar panel comprising a light transparent panel, a photo luminescent layer configured to absorb light of a first wavelength spectrum and emit light at a photo luminescent wavelength into the light transparent panel to propagate in the light transparent panel via total internal reflection, one or more photovoltaic components located at a periphery of the light transparent panel and configured to receive light propagating in the light transparent panel via total internal reflection and convert said light to electrical energy.
