We have solar cells which have exceeded the Shockley-Queisser limit. It's possible to exceed the Shockley-Queisser limit by having a multiple junction solar cell. In fact the world record for conversion of sunlight is 46%[0]. Of course this was with concentrated sunlight. Without concentrated sunlight multijunction solar cells have achieved 30.2% efficiency[1]. Multijunction solar cells are somewhat expensive though. Based on the current rate of advancement of perovskite solar cells it's possible we could see perovskite silicon tandem solar cells with 30% or higher efficiency in the coming months. In december, perovskite silicon tandem solar cells achieved an efficiency of 28%[2]. Still, something's fishy about this vehicle.
