Transparent photovoltaic (TPV), with its high light transmittance, can be seamlessly integrated into buildings and various daily-life scenarios, offering an innovative solution for energy conservation and emission reduction in high-density cities. However, before large-scale application, several key technical challenges must be addressed, including enhancing the power conversion efficiency of large-area devices while maintaining high visual comfort, and simultaneously optimizing device stability and cost control. To tackle these challenges, this review focuses on the technical characteristics of a novel TPV technology: the luminescent solar concentrator-photovoltaic (LSC-PV) devices. These characteristics include high solar energy utilization, a straightforward fabrication process, and flexible product design. Confronting the technical bottleneck of efficiency limitations in large-area LSC-PVs, this paper analyzes the factors influencing the optical efficiency of LSCs. It highlights strategies for improving the photoluminescence quantum yield of luminescent materials within LSCs through synthesis or post-synthetic modification, and for enhancing the waveguide efficiency of LSC devices by suppressing the absorption-emission spectral overlap integral of luminescent materials within the polymer matrix, ultimately aiming to achieve high-efficiency LSC-PV devices. Finally, by introducing the integration technology of LSCs with other functional devices, it demonstrates that TPV technology, particularly LSC-PV-based TPV, through continuous technological iteration and system optimization, will become a crucial technical pathway for achieving the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" strategic goals.
