Transparent luminescent solar concentrators are a new standard for selective light harvesting allowing for non‐tinted, transparent, and highly scalable solar windows. These devices are enabled by exploiting phosphorescent hexanuclear nanocrystalline‐polymer blends that exhibit massive Stokes‐shifts, high phosphorescent quantum yield, high stability, and perfectly tuned absorption/emission around the visible spectrum.
