The only power required above and beyond chuck low that is for industry and transportation.

Its always just hype. No, they're definitely on to something... ...as another poster already said, this is out of a research lab; so, you should count on at least 10 years passing before it see a valid commercial application. The main problem I see with solar is mass production... what the world needs now is raw square footage. These highly tuned semi-conductor based materials with close tolerances and high purity requirements are going to take even longer to mass produce. 25% to 50% efficiency increase is a 2x improvement, but we're talking sunlight here, not flips and flops (maxes out a 5x from current state of the art is the best improvement that can be made).
