Am I wrong in assuming that a 20% efficiency increase in a 25% efficient cell means 5% more energy gained (25*1.2), so a total of 30% efficiency, in relation to

Am I wrong in assuming that a 20% efficiency increase in a 25% efficient cell means 5% more energy gained (25*1.2), so a total of 30% efficiency, in relation to the 100% of solar energy which reach the cells?

Your understanding is correct, though the numbers might be off a little. I think it's more like 20% boosted to 24%.

Your understanding is not quite correct. It's 20% efficiency vs the traditional panels which max out at 20%, totaling 25%.
