You may find there what you missed.

Same AMP and voltage produced nothing different.

No improvement in light level compared to the old cells in comparison.

OPV lends for some great research, just not much in industry and actually getting deployed because the efficiency vs. cost advantage just isn’t there and won’t be.

There is a lot of innovation in surface enhancing techniques for solar panels. However a techno-commercial viability is yet to be achieved for most. Also some other base information can be utilized for enhancing power of solar panels. With articles like

we are trying to educate providers and users of CaptiveSolar Solutions on improving overall system output, and with new information like from your article one hopes that the entire industry will move forward.
