Emil, I think that you ca assume that it was BS, because to only to get a surface to absorb 90%, would be very difficult. If you managed to absorb 90%, your conversion process to electricity would then have 100% efficiency at always? Maybe the site do better in selling flowers. The highest serious numbers I have seen is 35-38% efficiency. The efficiency of currently mass produced common panels is 8-12%. This is lab data at 90 degree angle.
