I think the highest physical limit would be Carnot efficiency for a heat engine driven by the temperature difference between the sun and the earth. (6000K - 300 K) / 6000 K = 95%. There could be a different lower limit we hit before that though.

That does make sense for an absolute upper limit, thanks.
