one detail, while indium is not invented by chinese, it is just about monopolized by them, more so than oil is controlled by any single political entity <<Instead of using a germanium wafer as the bottom junction of the device, the new design uses compositions of gallium indium phosphide and gallium indium arsenide to split the solar spectrum into three equal parts that are absorbed by each of the cell's three junctions for higher potential efficiencies>> also, indium is needed for LCDs, and so if needed by solar photo voltaic, cost will invariably rise, and than rise some more, to be 'reverse' competitive with other energy sources, i guess however, the good news, polysilicon based solar pv is already good enough, and will be more so as c-si cost drops with scale
