Question by syrious: What is 100% efficiency in ref to solar power? How is it measured or determined?
I’m reading Sucatcher catches thermal energy at 31.25 % efficiency. So, if it could do it at 100%, how much energy would that be? Measured how? By what? Does anything pick up 100% and use it or make it useful?

As for a theoretical 100% cell, [...]
