They document the conditions (temperature light wavelengths and intensity) at the beginning of the document with the graph. I do remember that performance falls off as temperature of the substrate rises and, as I am thinking about it, that may explain why efficiency improves at low light levels. The material isn't being heated as much. The important thing about their cells is that they use THREE ranges of light wavelength to generate electricity from sunlight. I don't think any of their competitors are able to do this. The more wavelength the material can absorb the more efficient it is at generating power. They have a number of large facilities producing power in Europe, and their business is rapidly expanding there. It shouldn't be too difficult to validate or repudiate their claims
