Because of differences in the energy of sunlight of different wavelengths, solar cells capture only about a third of the energy present. A new molybdenum-based complex allows capture of 30% more.

This is an interesting article about a new solar panel technology; the summary is a bit misleading. It gives the impression that the cells can capture 130% of the energy from the sunlight that falls on them - not possible.
I presume that they capture 130% of the 30% that was the maximum for current solar panels; that would be about 39% of the total energy. Still an amazing achievement if the cells can be made for the same price as the current ones.
