Side-mounted and bottom-mounted solar cells on fluorescent collectors including realistic values for the back side mirror, the photonic structure and the fluorescent dye. The bottom-mounted solar cells are in the small-scale limit for l/d < 1 and in the large-scale limit from l/d > 103. For a clear acrylic glass on top of the solar cells, the coverage fraction f = 0.1 leads to a collection probability pc = 0.1. Thus, a fluorescent collector system with the assumed losses increases the collection probability by 23%, with a PBS on top by 27%. The side-mounted solar cells show an interesting behavior for l/d > 11. Instead of descending into the large-scale limit, pc increases up to 0.47 at l/d > 40 (with PBS on top).
