    I think you're misunderstanding to some degree. While silicon PV caps out at around 24% (I think up to 27% now), 100% conversion is basically impossible because of physics.

    Plus, the sun basically has infinite energy, so it's not like efficiency is that big of a concern compared to energy density.
