Eventually they will stack them like flash memory.

Great! Now mass-produce them, quickly, and sell it for cheap.

I stacked 10 of them for 120% efficiency. It also won't ever come to market.

Not gonna be cheap. These kinds of cells are only really useful for applications where area and / or weight are critical. Why use super complex technology with monocrystalline silicon and a novel semiconductor on top, if you can get 50-60% of the output with a bog-standard polycrystalline cell?

The challenge is finding out if the stuff can last as long as the current alternative.

And if it doesn't last that long, if there are things you can change to make it last longer.

That takes a long time.

The technology has come a long way over the last decade, we’re probably 3-5 years away from the first commercial installations, residential installations will likely begin a few years after that.
