The method accepts light incident to an exterior surface of the window pane, and transmits light in the visible spectrum through the window pane and reflective structure. However, light in the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum is reflected back from the reflective structure into the window pane, so that reflected NIR, spectrum light is supplied to an edge of the window pane. For example, reflected NIR spectrum light is supplied to the window pane edge if the light has an angle greater than or equal to an angle TIR occurring between the window pane exterior surface and air. This reflected NIR spectrum light can be converted to electrical or thermal energy.

The one-piece composite insert is configured to receive light at the photoluminescent layer through the light-transmitting layer and to emit light from the photoluminescent layer through the light-transmitting layer.
Abstract: A lighting component having an optic is provided. The optic includes a body formed from a plurality of partial elliptical bodies. Each partial elliptical body is substantially elliptical about a source focal point and a common focal point. Each source focal point for the partial elliptical bodies is disparately located and each common focal point for the plurality of partial elliptical bodies is collocated. The body of the optic has a common outlet proximate the common focal point and a plurality of source inlets where each source inlet of the plurality of source inlets is proximate the source focal point for a corresponding one of the plurality of partial elliptical tubes.
