There's a startup working on cost-effective panel-scale multi-layer cpv.

And instead of doubling of efficiencies(22% to 44%) , I've seen some thoerticak work talking about 60%+ .
What's more likely to happen, as I understand, is that cells of about the same efficiency level as what most people are using now, or maybe somewhat less, will get much cheaper (e.g., perovskites). But that won't be a reason to replace existing installations.
