An increase in effectiveness from ie. 15% up by 10% to 25% would be a massive increase, 66.6% to be exact, and thus the article would probably reflect that. However I would also like the article to be clearer on that. Thanks Being no expert on Solar PV’s I can only assume that the article meant that the solar cells will increase their output by 10%.

A 10% increase is actually rather significant in solar terms. The most efficient panels today run at about 20%. I wonder if this process adds on to that? I saw a great video the other day about how companies are going about making the solar cells of tomorrow. It's rather informative! http://www.ndep.us/Its-a-Small-World I haven’t seen a lot about this topic today but I assure you that this could be a huge stem forward in solar technology.
