It's obviously a great achievement though it would be nice to see improvements larger than 1-2%.
Let's hope the next one will be like a 10-12% improvement... though that's probably wishful thinking.
Storage is likely the bigger issue now.
It's more about the use of perovskite (while retaining durability), which should lower the cost of the panels.
The efficiency improvement is a bonus.
