Yeah, that would be great, but don't hold your breath.

At the cell or module level, these findings won't (can't) make such a large
improvement to output. But certainly there are sub-cell fine tuning
opportunities to improve overall performance. And stacking improvements
helps get performance ever closer to the theoretical maximum. (A computer
analogy
PV is about 15-20% efficient (turning solar power into electricity)
How do you improve that 1000 times?

The paper refers to a 10^3 (1000) times improvement in efficiency of a
very specific process in the photovoltaic effect. IMO, that won't
translate into 1000 times improvement at the cell or panel level as
there's a lot more going on to turn received photons into usable
electricity.
