Renewable efficiency is close to the theoretical limit. Solar cell have a limit just over 33% and current models have efficiency of around 25%.
There's still plenty of juice to squeeze in terms of cost to manufacturer, deploy, and maintain. This isn't purely a question of cell efficiency.
That's cost, not efficiency...
It's Cost Efficiency, which is a vital calculation in any business enterprise.
