Yep, solar cells are similar. So many 20% efficiency increases, they should be at 200% by now.

If every year you lose 20% of your money, how long does it take until you're in the negative?

If you have a solar cell that starts with 20% efficiency, how many years of “20% increase claims” does it take to reach 200% ?
