A disubstituted diaryloxybenzoheterodiazole compound having general formula (I): wherein: R
1
, R
2
and R
3
, which are the same as or different from each other, represent a hydrogen atom; or represent a halogen atom such as, for example, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, iodine, preferably fluorine; or are selected from optionally halogenated linear or branched C
1
-C
12
, preferably C
1
-C
8
, alkyl groups, optionally substituted phenoxy groups, provided that at least one of R
1
, R
2
and R
3
is an optionally substituted phenoxy group and, if R
3
is an optionally substituted phenoxy group, at least one of R
1
, R
2
is different from hydrogen; R
4
, which are the same as or different from each other, represent a hydrogen atom; or are selected from —COOR groups wherein R is selected from linear or branched C
1
-C
8
, preferably C
1
-C
4
, alkyl groups. This disubstituted diaryloxybenzoheterodiazole compound having general formula (I) may advantageously be used as a spectrum converter in luminescent solar concentrators (“Luminescent Solar Concentrators”—LSCs) which, in turn, are capable of improving the performance of photovoltaic devices (or solar devices) selected, for example, from photovoltaic cells (or solar cells), photovoltaic modules (or solar modules), on either a rigid or flexible support.
