Some of the first dye-sensitized solar was created in 1988, but it wasn't until about 1991 that any of these cells had potential due to the low efficiency.

3G Solar Photovoltiacs claim their devices to have up to 3x or more the efficiency of other photovoltiacs, notably under indoor lighting conditions.
