Oh no doubt it’s a massive improvement. It’s just we can see even better numbers and for cheaper once we crack the materials and lithographic constraints of rectenna diode construction. Mass production of those babies would be revolutionary in terms of solar energy. It’d straight up outcompete fossil and nuclear even considering having to build energy storage. Hell it’d be revolutionary even if we make them just for the infrared wavelength.

Did not know that rectenna panels could harvest infrared radiation at night. Interesting technology
