We present a method to evaluate the parameters defining the efficiency of luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). The light harvesting and self-absorption properties of thin film LSCs on glass substrates are determined by optical spectroscopy and the resulting optical efficiency is consistent with the directly measured photon flux gain.
