I attended a conference from the MIT 4 years ago about this! As far as I remember, they coated the translucid panels with fluorescent so the light will reflect to the edges where photosensitive cells will be.
The idea was using this for windows and even mobile phones.
I'm explaining it awful, I'm not that fluent in English. 😅

Also, putting this on top of a solar panel doubles (roughly) the power output.
And they’re working on a third absorption layer for a different wavelength.
In a few years, solar panels will give 100% of your power.
