Photoelectric cells with a higher level of energy conversion than plants is news to me. When ARCO was involved in photocells in the late 1970s and early 1980s we were intrigued, but the economics they presented were so much worse than geothermal, it was all rather sad.

I have seen some reports of studies, such as from the University of Urbana, of synthetic photosynthesis concerting nearly 100% of sunlight between 400 and 700 nm -- or 40% of the sun's radiant energy, which is really extraordinary. ARCO at the time was down around 15%.
