Anyone know the previous record? Curios how much of an improvement this is.

> Various teams from HZB had achieved a record value in late 2021 with an efficiency of 29.8% that was realized by periodic nanotextures. More recently, in summer 2022, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, first reported a certified tandem cell above the 30% barrier at 31.3%, which is a remarkable efficiency jump over the 2021 value.

NREL keeps a detailed chart by technology - it's already updated with HZB's latest which is pretty impressive - the Perovskite / Si Tandem line:
