Research on utilizing low-grade heat from sources such as industrial waste streams, geothermal activity, and solar heating has focused on using solid-state thermoelectrics and Stirling engines to harvest low-grade waste heat as electrical energy. In fact, it was previously predicted that a power conversion efficiency of 1.2%

This is really a conceptual breakthrough, a new energy conversion process, not just a new material or a slightly different tweak. If this wasted heat energy could somehow be harvested, solar cells could be much more efficient. Melosh (2010) Photon-enhanced thermionic emission for solar concentrator systems. Nick Melosh.
