Original Note:
A 1000x improvement would violate the laws of physics. Current state of the art PV panels already convert 20-25% of sunlight into electric power (source: EIA – https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/solar/photovoltaics-and-electricity.php#:~:text=PV%20system%20efficiency,have%20achieved%20nearly%2050%25%20efficiency.) It is therefore physically impossible to improve them more than 4-5x at most, and certainly not 1000x.
